Saturday's game was the first real base hall of the season. Not that it was a fast game, but a good crowd was present. The band was out, the weather was pleasant and the ground was in fine condition.
At 3 o'clock the 'Varsity team trotted into the field and the Indians with determined faces huddled close together on their side of the diamond. Moonlight took the stick and made a long drive to center, but was cut off at second. Payer, Figeon, Elkins, and Augusta followed with hits all of which were as good as safes on account of the 'Varsity fumbles and wild throws. Greville was caught at first which so disheartened Balmer that he pounded the air three times, retiring to the side with four scores.
Hall does some fine work and is strongly supported shouting the Indians out, Decora
Parent hit to Augusta and went out at first. Poorman went to first on Elkin's errors. Housh gets a safe for two bags bringing in Poorman. Moore gets a long hit to right field scoring Housh, but is caught at second. Lucas fails to find the ball and the 'Varsity again takes the field.
out of the Indians and also out of the spectators. The grand stand and the bleachers were soon deserted, but still the game went on. The Indians found Tucker but their hits were scattering and ineffective. Ledebora succeeded in scoring
The Indians put Warren in the box who is batted at will. Lucas makes first on a short drive to short. Tucker takes first on a dead ball, Barnett gets two sacks on a hit to right field. The fire works continue until the 'Varsity has scored six times
In the eighth the braves went down in quick succession. The 'Varsity followed suit out of respect for the Indians and the few remaining spectators.
The Indians come to bat for the last time with no hope of overcoming the big lead of the 'Varsity. They get two hits and score once on the 'Varsity error. The tiresome exhibition ceases.

Moulton Club vs Short Grass.
The first of the local baseball games was played last Saturday morning between the Moulton team and the Short Grass team.
The game was a good one and showed that the University had some good ball players outside of the regular team The
The great event of the spring in Western sporting circles will take place at Learnard's race track Friday afternoon, April 28, when the annual meeting of the K. U. Jockey Club will take place,—for sweet charities sake—the proceeds going to the students' loan fund.
JOCKEY CLUB MEET
The directors met Monday to make arrangements for the big event. The meeting was called to order by Secretary Wood and the following officers were elected: President, D.I.Waggard; vice president, John Buttomer; secretary, Fred Wood; treasurer, Solon Summerfield. The number of directors was enlarged from twenty to thirty. The committees on events, prizes and program were appointed. These committees have been hard at work and the directors confidently assert that this year's meet will be "bigger and better than ever." It is the intention to add one or two trotting races to the bicycle races. The K.U. Derby and the time honored Faculty mule race will as usual be the features. A generous list of prizes have been offered by the down town merchants and first, second and third prizes will be awarded in each race.
The Kansas City alumni association of Phi Gamma Delta has offered a silver cup for the derby and the T. N. E's of Kansas City have also offered a silver cup for one of the other races.
The celebrated patent medicine king, Dr. "Judy" Allen and his famous Dutch band will be on hand to vie with the K. U. band. The peanut and popcorn concession has been granted to Bobby Bradford and Eddie Sample. The Phi Beta
KANSAS VS. MISSOURI.
McCook field in the past has seen athletic contests between Kansas and teams representing Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois universities, but never as yet has any Missouri team contest here. Missouri is coming at last to Lawrence, for Manager Jewett has scheduled a base ball game with the Tigers for Saturday afternoon, April 29. Few students realize how risky a thing, financially, this game is for a rainy day would eat a big hole in the season's receipts, while the distance from Columbia is so great that notice of "game off" cannot be sent in time, in case of bad weather. Let Students remember this, and both come out themselves and bring their friends with them, if for the bare expenses of the game are taken in at the gate this year, a game with Missouri at Lawrence, will become an annual affair. If the patrons of base ball in the University will but take it upon themselves to advertise the game, it will be sure success. Preparations for the game are about completed. While the location of the base ball field does not permit so many carriage stands, as in the case of football, there are about a dozen spaces for carriages at the west side, along the first base ball line, which will be sold. These places are directly behind the ropes, and as no one except players will be permitted inside the ropes, the location is the very best possible in which to see the game. Other carriages will have to take positions out opposite the extreme right field or left field. These stands will be on sale Wednesday morning at Bromelsick's. The covered grand stand and the bleach-

The Short Grass Team.
The students of the University coming from the north west section of the state, and living in and around Clay Center, Concordia, Jewel City, constitute a crowd that is more nearly possessed of a truly sporting feeling than those from any other section of the state. The are always conspicuous for their presence at all the sporting events of the University life and not content with this have organized among them selves a sort of a Sporting Association. For two winter seasons, they have formed and kept up a foot ball team, arranged a schedule with the team of their home towns and won every game in which they have participated. Last spring they organized a base ball team and after winning all the other games were defeated by Clay Center principally owing to the fact that two of the "Short Grass" players were unable to be with the team that day.

ers are probably large enough to seat any crowd base balt will draw, so no special reservations will be made on them. It will be a case of first come first served—as to choice of seats.
Missouri university has a fine team this year, having defeated with ease several of the smaller colleges of the state, but she will know that she has been to a ball game when Saturday evening comes. The K, U. team is not a world heater, but it is as good if not a better team than we have had in years, and there is just one thing certain about it and that that no matter how far behind the team may be, it is likely to "bat it out" at any minute. Most of the men are exceptional hitters for a college team, and all are fair batters. Capt. Housh is wisely giving his men as much batting as fielding practice, for after all it is hitting that wins games.
Let everybody come out and help the boys win the game. A good old K. U. yell for a timely hit or a pretty play will do much toward winning. And meanwhile don't forget that K. U. is always generous in her applause to visitors.
Forfeited Tickets.
The board of directors of the Athletic association, in their meeting April 17th, resolved that any association membership ticket presented for admission to athletic contests by another than the original purchaser, shall be taken up and declared forfeited; and that the tickets already taken up for such cause be hereby declared forfeited.
