How They Stand.
It is with a feeling of deep regret to all the sport-loving students and people of Lawrence, that the time has come for the disbandment of the ball team, and that maybe not again will the boys who have worked so faithfully in the interests of K.U. on the ball field, be seen in their crimson suits and familiar places. The University has never had so strong a team as the present one. Of the thirteen games played, but four were lost, three of these to professional teams.
It has been unfortunate that we have not been able to take on more college teams. The boys have been playing ball that could win from any of the state universities of the West, but for one reason and another Manager Means has been unable to schedule a game. It means just this much lost: we have won a state reputation by easily defeating the state schools in order; we would be known beyond the limits of Kansas had we met some of the state teams.
Manager Means has held his position in a most creditable manner, and carries with him the kindliest feelings of all the boys. Rollo Mitchell deserves a good share of the praise the team has received. He has been most enthusiastic and energetic in the capacity of captain, and has braced up the waning interest on many occasions.
We would like to make a press dispatch on the merits and good deeds of each of the boys,
but space will not permit. Kelsey and Gear will always be remembered in Lawrence, and each member of the ball team '95 has endeared himself to the students of K.U. by his gentlemanly manner and bearing and good ball playing.
The following is the batting and fielding average of each player in the nine games with college teams—Emporia 4, Haskell Institute 3, Ottawa 2:

Notes.
Gear will wield the destinies of K. U's next year's team in the capacity of Captain.
The report that Baker's big ball player, Taylor, is very sick with consumption, is without foundation.
Alden's great ball playing has secured him a summer diversion. He will play second base for the Winfield team.
K. U. does not want to part with Billy Williamson, so he will probably be with us next year. Billy will play foot ball and read Blackstone.
Kelsey and Gear will again do battery work for Winfield this summer. It is said Jim has been in correspondence with Frohman since his big hit in the Senior play.
Motter and Newton go to Chicago in the interest of K. U. Their efforts will be eagerly
