THE SEASON OPENS.
THE FIRST GAME WILL OCCUR ON
THE 7TH OF APRIL WITH HAS-
KELL ON MC COOK
FIELD.
THE SPIRIT IS GROWING.
The Line-up Is Uncertain But Is to Be a Strong One. Gear is Here Twice a Week.
On the 8th of April the base ball season will open in Lawrence with a game between Haskell and the 'Varsity. The game promises to be a strong one. The 'Varsity is working hard now and has been for the past two weeks. The Indians are at work and are in good form. They have not chosen the team definitely but their line-up will be similar to that of last year. They are taking a greater interest in the game than usual and they will certainly give the Varsity a close, hard game. The management promises to have the grounds in proper order by the first of the month and the grand stand and the bleachers will be fitted up sc that the visitors will find good accomoations.
The 'Varsity nine is not yet chosen definitely but the men will play in the following positions in the Indian game: Moore, who has no opposition, will catch, Hall, Stanley and Maltby will take turns in the box. Frebert, Tucker and Curry will play on the first bag, while Housh of last year's team will bold down the second sack and Captain Parent will be found at third. Poorman unopposed will play the short position. Owens and Reid will each look for flies and things in the left outer garden. Barnett will catch the center, while Mattby and McKenna will each be given a chance in the right field.
These are the men that are now showing up best. They haven't their jobs tied up by any means. They must all work to hold them. Captain Parent is looking for the best man. Don't get fussy if your name does not appear in the line up, but keep coming out and trying for a place.
Coach Gear is down twice a week now and is doing some mighty fine work with the boys. He is well pleased with the outlook, and thinks Kansas will have a winning team.
AMUSEMENTS.
Manager Nichols now has the schedule complete which is the same as was published a few days ago.
The Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and Charles B. Hanford combination will be one of the really big events of the theatrical year in this city. The combination numbers thirty-seven people, including besides the three stars, Harry Langdon, John A. Ellsar, Mrs. Vandenoff, Helen Singer, Barry Johnstone, Norman Hackett, Julius McVicar, Harvey Cassidy, Thomas Collin-Cooke, Collin Kemper, Elizabeth Barriscale, Emily Grey-Bethel, and twenty-five others.
SOL SMITH RUSSEL'S FAMOUS PLAY
Many orders have already been placed for seats for Sol Smith Russell's great play 'A Poor Relation' and it behooves all good people to be on hand bright and early when the advance sale begins next Tuesday. "Those who have seen "A Poor Relation" know what mirth is, but it not at all certain that those who have not seen the play know very much about it. They may have laughed in some sort, but they may be sure that the great depths of the human heart which has laughter, mirth and humor in its profoundest depths have never stirred if they have not seen "A Poor Relation." The piece has also the advantage of being presented by a company of unusually high order, in fact the same company that supported Mr Russel until his temporary retirement from the stage owing to ill health, and that was engaged by Manager Fred S. Berger to support Frank J. Keenan, who was selected both by Mr. Russell and himself to play the part of Noah Vale. There will be no empty seats, empty hearts or empty eyes in the Opera House on Thursday evening.

Relation has at last been secured for this city and will be seen at the Opera house next Thursday night. Mr. Russel himself will not be with the company because of his temporary retirement from the stage on account of ill heath, but his great character of Noah Vale will be assumed by the rising young actor Frank J. Keenan, who has been selected for the task by both Mr Russel and his manager, Fred Gberger. Mr Keenan is an actor of the same quiet natural methods as Russell, whom he ressembles. His earliest professional experience was gained at the Boston museum. He was under such men as Jos. A. Herve, and Chas. Hoyt and last year staged and played an important part in the New York production of "The Christian." To be poor and yet happy, to be poverty-striken and yet charitable, to be out at the knees and yet a gentleman, these are some of the unique attributes that are combined [in the sweet and unworldly character of Noah Vale in "A Poor Relation." It is the oft repeated story of the poor inventor, rich in originative genius, yet poor in all qualifications that enable him to cope against the grinding selfishness of the world. Frank, generous and unsuspicious, the "poor relation" is robbed of his invention, upon which he has bestowed the time and thought of years. Even then his generous instincts do not desert him, and his noble qualities shine with ever increasing lustre amongst the associations of poverty and want. He accepts his loss with equanimity and takes the evil things of life with full and hopeful confidence that justice will at length prevail. As in all well conducted dramas, justice does finally prevail, and the poor relation reaps the full reward of patience, charity and well doing. The poor relation is a unique characterization upon the stage and yet a character that the world will recognize at sight. Mr Keenan is peculiarly adapted for the part he plays. In his interpretation there is little trace of artificiality or restraint. Never does the frame work of the character protrude. He is absolutely and entirely natural and in these features lie the elements of his great success. He submerges his individuality entirely in his role and the auditor never once thinks of Mr Keenan the actor or the man; it is only "The Poor Relation" that he sees and this alone is a proof of Mr. Keenan's art. It is a characterization in which he must be seen to be appreciated, and into which he weaves quaint touches of humor and pathos that are more than strong. Mr Keenan is supported by a capable and well balanced company, including such well known players as: Lila Convere Emily Wakeman, Hazel Kirk Chappell James Lackay, Alfred Hudson, Charlie Arthur, Jacques Martin, James Burns and Master Donald and Little Tamar.
Crane & Co., of Topeka, will probably publish the senior annual for manager Buzzi.
The first big game of the season on McCook field will be with the Kansas City Blues on April 17.

Even if a young man is a dead heat or a broken down sport and owes every merchant in town it matters not with the girls.

These industrious boys are the ones that make the great men of our country.

The success of Wagenbails and Kemper's mammoth revival-production of "The Winter's Tale" which is the feature bill of the Louis James, Kathryn Kidder, and Charles B. Hanford's combination this season, borders on the phenomenal. All through the south the play has broken al records. In nearly every instruct the entire capacity of the theatres was sold before the arrival of the company. In San Francisco where the big combination has just closed a three weeks engagement the capacity of the spacious Columbia theatre was tested at every performance, and the captious press of that city was unanimous in its praise of the stars, the grandeur of the production, and the admirable supporting company.
