The St. Joe team does not belong to the Western League, as has been reported.
Fourteen thousand three hundred people witnessed the Chicago-Cinecincinnati game last Sunday.
Last week's game at Leavenworth with the McCooks was postponed on account of rain.
The annual "run" of the Associated Cycling Clubs of Chicago was held last Monday. There were about 1000 riders in line. The annual race will come off on Decoration Day.
The Ohio University team was defeated by the Wittenberg team last Monday. Score 5 to 4.
The Kansas City Athletic Association is to have a down-town club house with a physical instructor. Look out for a foot-ball team there next year.
The High School Field Day Contest which was held last Saturday was well attended and was a great success, although there was but one outside school represented. Six or eight high schools had entered, but were deterred from coming by the weather. The names of the winners are as follows:
100 vd. dash, Speak, of Kansas City:
time, 11.5 seconds.
Putting the shot, Warfield; 29 ft., 7 inches.
Quarter mile run. Speak: 1 min., 2 seconds
Hitch and klek. Nichols: 7 ft, 7 ft,
broad broad jump, Carrol: 9 ft.
6 inches
Pole vault. Rommer 8 ft., 44 inches.
Running high jump. Nichols 5 ft.;
Running broad jump. Carrol: 16 ft.

The State High School Meet hereafter will be one of the big events of the year at Lawrence, and its success is assured. After the contest the "State Athletic Association of the High Schools of Kansas" was organized by the adopting of a constitution and bv-laws. W. C. Speak, of Kansas City, Kan., was elected president for next year. The office of treasurer goes to Topeka, and the secretary and executive committee to the Lawrence High School. Success to the new association!
The foot-ball committee has decided to offer prizes, as announced in the STUDENT'S JOURNAL. The first prize for kicking the foot-ball will be $25, and the second $15. Leave an order with Mr. Moody for a foot-ball.
The local field contest will be held Wednesday, the 16th, at McCook field. There should be a number of entrances for every event. If we are to do anything in the State Contest, the local contest should be made a success. More sprinters are needed, and a better showing should be made in everything than was made last year.
THE SENIOR-FACULTY GAMP
The long-expected Senior-Faculty game is now a thing of the past. The seniors laid aside their position as managers-at-large of the University, and went out to swipe the Faculty, but ran into an irresible umple, who was hard to beat. Last year's class fell before the Faculty to the time of 21 to 24, and the seniors expected to win this time by superior work. Both teams had practiced hard and faithfully and the sockless juniors witnessed the best senior-faculty game ever played. The result was surprising to everyone and especially to the Faculty. Canfield turned up with his usual incandescent curves and Cowan did fine work behind the bat. The infield was stronger than usual, while Newson, Jones and McClung gave an exhibition of base ball in the field that is rarely seen.
For the seniors, Topping and Howell made a splendid battery. Platt put up a splendid game at first, Harvey distinguished himself at second and Rothrock and Hogg held down short-stop and third base. Corbin, and Buchan made extinguishing records as star fielders. The first inning was disastrous. The seniors drew a blank and the Faculty pounded out three runs.
The fun was fast and furious from this time on, the score being very close until the first of the seventh inning. At this point the seniors began to guy the Profs and very nearly won the game by bluff work. The pitcher got rattled and presented several men with the bases on balls. Terrific battling enabled the seniors to tie the score, and the excitement was intense. Some of the juniors haven't recovered yet. The Faculty went to the bat and two men were put out in quick succession. Then Adams reached first on balls, and Canfield succeeded in bringing him in on an error by Topping, thus winning the game for the Faculty.
Score----10 to 9
NOTES.
Harvey fanned out twice; so did McClung.
Six of last year's Faculty team played this year, four of them in their old positions.
Cowan set a frightful example to freshman and other irresponsible parties by stealing bases in rush. An unwarranted fashion.
What's the matter with Cowan?
The seniors can never win unless Jones stairs wearing this tennis can.
The seniors have the best class team in school, and it is the best that haveret me the Faculty.
Howell made a home run, the only one of the game.
The seniors would have won if nine innings had been played.
Prof. Daines is the manager of the Faculty team. He is a member of the new "Kappa Alpha Theta" fraternity, For further information see Bowker.
Baker plays the Indians Saturday at Haskell Institute.
The Wednesday's game at Emporia resulted in a victory for K. U. Score 34 to 3. Kelsey injured his hand severely.
K, U. vs. the College of Emporia,
Saturday, May 12th, at McCook field.
Admission 25 cents. Let everyone
turn out and encourage the team.
The Bakerites have not recovered yet from the great mistake they made last fall in not playing K. U, a return game. The Baker Faculty has written to the secretary of the University Faculty, asking that some action be taken in regard to last year's foot-ball difficulties. They think they are entitled to half of the gate receipts of the K. U.-Baker game. It would be difficult to imagine what reasons they can give for this.
Considerable difficulty has been experienced lately in holding a meeting of the Athletic Board. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made lately, the president, secretary and treasurer being the only members present usually. Nine members are necessary for a legal quorum. Persons who have not interest enough to attend at least one meeting a month should not be elected to fill such responsible positions.
BASE BALL: K, U,-STATE NORMAL.
The base ball game between K. U. and the State Normal which was played yesterday afternoon at Emporia, resulted in K. U. winning in the close score of 13 to 7. The game was very interesting and was close from beginning to finish.
In the game played Wednesday with Emporia College, the Emporia team played under a great disadvantage, for they had their left fielder in the pitcher's box.
The Creighton Dramatic Co. will produce "Sweet Lavender" at the Opera House May 18th for the benefit of the Athletic Association. This is a first class play and is the last good show of the season.

Chinch Bug Notes.
Many calls are being received from Missouri for infected chinch bugs.
A gentleman from Shawnee county was at the University this week to get instructions about the use of chinch bug infection for use on his farm.
Chinch bugs are very numerous this year and will doubtless do considerable damage. Our department is at present sending out fifty boxes of infected bugs per day.
Mr. Frank A. Lutz, who has been studying the chinch bug infection process in connection with his other University work, leaves this week for Lincoin county, where he will maintain a chinch bug station in connection with a store of which he is the proprietor.
The Universities of Illinois and Nebraska have sent for chinch bug infection with the view of establishing chinch bug stations at their respective Universities similar to the one here.
Mr. John G. Hall, a member of the present junior class, left last Monday for Bourbon county, where he will have charge of a chinch bug infection station.
