TWO GAMES NEXT WEEK.
MISSOURI ON FRIDAY AND OTTAWA
ON SATURDAY.
Missouri Has Already Taken Nebraska Into Camp—Team Goes to Biker Monday Morning
The 'Varsity will play two ball games on the McCook field next week, and one at Baldwin. On Monday the team goes to Baker for the third of the Kausas I. C. League games.
Then on Friday Missouri University will play here, followed by Ottawa on Saturday. Last year we had rather an easy time of it defeating the Missourians on their own grounds, and this spring it is announced that the Tigers are aching to give us a dose of our own medicine. Missouri has already taken the Nebraskans into camp defeating them on Thursday by the decisive and over-whelming score of 19 to 9. This victory and score indicate that the Missouri team is a hummer and that anyone who has expected a walk away with them way in the rear is badly mistaken.
However it is gradually dawning upon people that we have quite a ball team of our own one that with a little improvement in fielding can make it interesting for any team in the west. Missouri too may always be counted upon to send her best and do her utmost to defeat Kansas so the game will be for blood and if we win it will be because the "colts" play the best ball of which they are capable.
Then following Missouri comes the Ottawa game on Saturday. Ottawa has defeated both Baker and Washburn and will probably be our closest competitor for the league pennant. We have already taken Ottawa into camp once, to be sure, but they put up a game fight and if our pitchers should happen to have an off day would make it warm for us.
The "fans" are just beginning to realize what a great ball schedule has been arranged for them and if the weather will only give us half a chances a large crowd should be present at both games. Ellis and Swett will do the pitching.
TUE$DAY'S GREAT DRAW GAME.
Nine to Nine After Thirteen Innings Play
- Both Teams Play Remarkable
The game Tuesday with Nebraska resulted in a victory for the clerk of the bureau. For thirteen innings the game see-saved back and forth and then at the end of the thirteenth, Umpire Hogg upon the request of both captains called the game on account of darkness, with the score nine to nine. This ought to speak for itself.
Certainly never was such a game seen on McCook held before. It was replete with brilliant plays. The game was exciting throughout to say the least, and the finish what would be dubbed hair-splitting.
Both teams at times played remarkable ball. In the box and at the bat the 'Varsity' showed itself superior. In the other department of the game though, in the field, on bases, and in team work, however, it must be admitted that the boys were outplayed by the Nebraskans. Our own "colts" worked hard for every run they got. Poor base running robbed us of a chance for several more. On the other hand nine errors are charged up against the Varsity' and every one of them was costly.
The fielding of the whole Nebraska team was throughout the game positively brilliant. In the thirteen long innings only two errors are charged against them. The work of their outfield was the fastest ever seen here considering the heavy condition of the field. The fielders covered all kinds of ground and threw as hard and as true as if the balls had been shot out of one Commodore Dewey's rifle guns. Probably the star play of the whole game was Bliss' running catch of Ellis' long drive to left center in the tentinning. The hit looked good for three bases and with Sample on first would have won the game. The men in the infield too presented a stone wall front. Nothing got by Kindler at second who accepted eleven chances and what didn't come into his territory Wells and Caugail gobbled. Bliss led the visitors at the bat with two home runs and a single.
The work of the fielders can best he designated as erratic. Sharp fielding and costly errors alternated. At the bat we clearly outclassed the men from Lincoln. Every man on the team got a hit. Curry led with three singles and a triplet, Housh followed close with three hits, Sample and Ellis each got two and Edmondson held up his end by putting the ball over right center field for a home run.
In the box we clearly had the best of it Ellis pitched great ball. Only ten hits in thirteen innings and many of those made
The only two things that marred the game were the weather and the injury of Sample who turned his knee in an endeavor to get back to first in the tent after Bliss' sensational catch of Ellis' drive.
The game opened with Nebraska at the bat and they were retired without a hit or a run. We did better. Carrol, the first man up, drew a base on balls, promptly stole second, took third on Poorman's out, and came home on fielder's choice. Neither side scored in the second. In the third Bliss put the ball over the fence and scored the first tally for the visitors. In our half after Carroll had gone out Poorman landed on the leather for two bases, Housh followed with a single, Curry did the same, scoring Poorman, Swett put up a pop up for Wells and then just to show Bliss that he wasn't the only slugger on the field, Edmondson picked out one of Melford's best and put it out of the lot, making the longest hit ever seen on McCook field.
This made the score five to one and everyone was happy. But in the fourth Nebraska treated itself to fireworks. After there had been two outs, Curry gave Rhodes a life by playing foot-ball with his short grounder in front of the plate. A passed ball, a two base hit and a base on balls followed, and there Bliss got his second home run in the same place, clearing the bases and tieing the score.
Nebraska took the lead in the fifth. Kindler led off with a double, Seeder and Caugill went out in offfield hits, Kindler taking taken third on the latter's out, then Rhea hit to Ellis who tried to catch Kindler at home run with the result that both the latter and Rhea were safe. Rhoades got a hit putting Rhea on second and then Melford hit sharply to Edmondson who threw wide to first. Sweet instead of taking both hands to the ball, kept one foot on the bag and tried a left-handed catch with the result that the ball went to the fence and Rhea scored. Rhoades being caught at the plate. In the sixth. Moore got a life through fielder's choice and scored on Kindler's double, while for us Edmondson made the circuit on an error by Bliss, a passed ball and Ellis 'two bagger.
In the seventh K. U. tied the score. With one out Housh got to first by grace of Rhodes' error and scored one. Curry's timely three bagger, Curry being brought in by Swett's no less timely single. This ended the scoring until the eleventh inning, when Wells got a hit and came home on Edmondson's wild throw to first. This put Nebraska one run ahead, and the next few minutes would tell the tale. Carroll first made up in one half strout, Poorman fouled over to Moore and things "looked dark for the K. U. nine that day"." but Housh came to the rescue with a single and proceeded directly to purloin second. Then Curry got in another one of his timely drives and Housh by a great run and slide scored from the second.
The crowd went wild. The score was tied, the game was saved and Curry was on second. Curry got caught, however, by a quick throw at second and the run getting of the day was ended neither side scoring in the twelfth or thirteenth.
For the last six innings the excitement was intense and the playing as fast and furious as ever seen. Several times Nebraska had a chance to score only to be prevented by superb pitching and beauti-

Lawrence Volunteers Escorted to the Train by Gymnastics Citizens and Students
All Lawrence took a half holiday Tuesday to see the newly recruited company of volunteers leave for Topeka. On Monday noon a mass meeting was called and a holiday announced for the next day. At the same time the students were urged to attend the farewell service to the "boys" at Plymouth church, and it was arranged for the students to take part in the parade escorting Captain Clarke's command to the station.
One division of the procession was made up of students and faculty and it was a monster crowd of college boys and professors that formed the division
The church was packed the next morning long before the services began. The addresses by Mayor Gould, Dr.Cordley, Prof. Blackmar and Captain Clarke were short but soul stirring and to the point. At the close of the services the great parade formed and the march to the depot began.
At the lower end of Winthrop street an open line was formed by all the escorting companies, and the volunteers marched through beneath waving flags and with the cheers of their fellow citizens. The company marched to the east end of the depot platform where it was dismissed to await the arrival of the train.
At the depot there were scenes sad as well as inspiring. Tearful goodbyes were said as well as hearty cheers given so that it was with a mixture of enthusiasm and of sadness that mothers saw their sons, townpeople their neighbors and college boys their fellow students carried away to Topeka. University students enlisted in the company.
Address to the Young Women of the
*Varetty by Miss Ethel Allen.
The disagreeable weather of Thursday prevented a very large attendance at the talk given by Miss Ethel B. Allen of Kansas City to the young women of the Senior class. Those present were, however, more than compensated for the disagreeable trip up the hill.
Miss Allen is a woman of charming personality, and is very well known here. She graduated with honors in '82 and returned for her master's degree in '85. Since that time she has been very prominent in literary and club work and is now president of the Kansas City branch of the association of collegiate alumni, concerning which she spoke. The association, Miss Allen said, is composed of graduates from nineteen of the most prominent colleges in the country, among them being Cornell Stanford, Chicago, Vassar, Bryn Maur and Wellesley. It is conducted on sirtly business principles being supported by an annual tax of ount dollar on every member. The first work of the organization was in collecting statistics of the physical ability of women to pursue a collegiate course. These statistics have been of inestimable value.
The association is now interested in the matter of fellowships, three of which it supports. One of these, a European fellowship has twice been held by graduates of Kansas University, namely Miss Nannie Pugh and Miss Anna McKinnon, both of whom are now teaching at Wells学院.
At present this association is behind a movement to endow a table for the use of women at the laboratory of the aquarium of Naples. The table will be in recognition of the kindness of Prof. Doehrn to American pupils.

Organ Recital.
On Wednesday afternoon occurred the regular bi-weekly organ recital. Prof. Penny was assisted by Prof. Farrel who sang with much expression and accuracy. Everyone declares that his voice has been wonderfully transformed while he has been in Europe. Among Prof. Penny's best numbers was the first on the program, being an Overture to "Olympia." It was full of brilliant movements and ended with a strong climax. All of his numbers were good and much enjoyed by the small audience present. One of the most novel pieces was the Triumphal March from "Nooman" by Costa. He was assisted in this by Jno Merrill and Cecil Wickstrom. Mr. Merrill played cornet and Mr. Wickstrom played the small drum. The effect was very pleasing. Another much enjoyed piece was one entitled "Songs of the Night," by Spinney. It was played with much feeling by Prof. Penny. The recital was the best one so far given by Mr. Penny and deserved a much larger audience than was present, although considering the weather the size of the crowd was fair. Next Wednesday there will be a piano recital.
T. Davenport Smith is one of the volunteers from Brown county, now encamped at Topeka.
