The Kansas University base ball team was not so successful in its Nebraska trip as in the Missouri games. The games and scores were as follows:
Leavenworth vs. K. U., 10 to 5, in favor of Leavenworth.
Nebraska vs. K.U., 11 to 4, in favor of Nebraska.
Nebraska vs. K. U., 10 to 5, in favor of Nebraska.
Manhattan vs. K.U., 13 to 4, in favor of K.U.
NEBRASKA VS. K. U.
The Nebraska boys won both the games against K. U. Nebraska has a strong team this season made up of old experienced players, but their strongest point is team work.
The weather for the morning game was perfect. In the afternoon great clouds of dust commenced sweeping across the ground after the sixth inning and the boys kept their mouths shut to keep from swallowing the debris. Peters pitched a strong game in the morning, but was a trifle wild. He struck out eleven men, his support however was too poor to win the game. The Kansas men bunched their hits well in the first game but the superb fielding of the Nebraska men kept them from being of benefit.
In the second game the Nebraska boys won by superior batting and base running, in fact their base running was an eye opener for the Jayhawkers, Sherman being the only Kansas man who tried to steal a base. Robinson
pitched a great game for Nebraska and batted the ball like Casey wanted to. Out of five times at bat in the second game he made three singles and a triple. The playing of Kindler was excellent, accepting ten hard chances in the second game without an error.
In the first game the Kansas men did not score until the sixth inning, Sherman scoring on Todd's three bagger. After that the men livened up a little and scored three more runs. The score was:
NEBRASKA.
