ONE OUT OF THREE
JAYHAWKERS PLAYED LIKE WOODENMEN AGAINST TIGERS
Lost First Game to Cornhuskers Hoffman Tried Two Consecutive Games.
In the last three games the Jayhawkers lost to the Tigers, won from the Missouri Normals and again lost to the Cornhuskers. This is the third game played this year with Nebraska, the first two being played upon McCook field several weeks ago. In these games each school won one and tied in the other.
In the second Missouri-Kansas game Wednesday the Jayhawkers were given one of the most complete drubbings ever witnessed upon McCook field, losing by the score of 10 to 0. The Tigers played the real game from the beginning to the end while the locals played like wooden men and toyed with the ball throughout the game. Hoffman started out to pitch a strong game but the tax of the game the day before began to show on him in the fifth and at the close of the sixth, when three runs were made, he was taken out.
NUMBER 65
Kirmeyer, without warming up, went on duty in the seventh and by hitting two men, passing two and allowing one single together with three unpardonable errors in the infield, one of which should have been a double, the inning netted the Tigers six runs.
Salisbury, the Tiger propeller of the pill, was a puzzle for the Kansans throughout the fateful game, allowing the Jayhawkers to connect safely but three times during the game.
In the ninth came the only show for the locals, to prevent the disgrace of a shut out when Johnson knocked a clean three bagger, but without a coach to warn him to stop he ran into a sure out at home. The score by innings was as follows:
The 'Varsity boys defeated the Warrensburg State Normal from Missouri by the score of 16 to 6. The Missourians played ball like the Jayhawkers had the day before, running up 12

The game at Lincoln yesterday was an easy victory for the Cornhuskers, although the game was not so one sided as the score would indicate at the first glance. Jones allowed no more hits than his opponent. For the first time this season Brookens yielded his place behind the plate and Justice picked them off the bat. Dort pitched steadily for Nebraska, keeping the hits scattered, while the Cornhuskers took kindly to the curves of Jones, the Kansas southpaw, driving in most of their runs on long hits. A home run by Fenlon and a triple by captain Morse were the features, although Hoffman for Kansas smashed out a triple and sent in two of the Jayhawkers' runs. The score:

Prof. McClung and Prof. Stevens' Little Son Injured.
PICNIC ACCIDENT YESTERDAY.
At a biology picnic on Washington creek eight miles south west of town, yesterday Professor McClung, and Richard, the small son of Professor Stevens, were seriously burned by an explosion of blasting powder in a camp stove which the party was using. Professor McClung noticed the odor of burning cloth about the stove, and on opening the oven door saw what he supposed was a bundle of cloth smouldering around the edges. He had just drawn this bundle to the edge of the oven when the powder exploded with violence. The professor's clothes caught fire and he was badly burned about the hands, face and ankles. Richard Stevens, who was looking into the oven at the time, was badly burned about the face. Mr. Martin of the museum had just driven out to the camping place in a carriage when the accident occurred, and the injured ones were placed in the carriage and brought to town,
Men Who Were to Debate Iowa.
Iowa has refused to consider all propositions that Kansas made for holding the annual debate at a later date than was first set. They still want to have the debate on their schedule next year. The men who were to have met Iowa on the question of a fiscal protectorate for the South American States, are: H. J. Bischoff, William J. Luckey and John H. Sutton. Bischoff, who is a member of X. Y. Z. society, is a graduate of the Washington, Kansas, high school, and is a sophomore in the college. Luckey, is a middle law, a member of the Phi Delta Phi, and of the Athenian Senate. He is a graduate of the Greenley high school. Sutton is an Iowan, and did part of his preparatory work in Buena Vista College. He is a senior law.
eight mile trip taking just forty minutes.
It is supposed that the powder had been thrown into the stove to get it out of the way. The stove was one Professor McClung used in his collecting expedition in Idaho last summer, and it is supposed that the powder was some that he used to break open rocks in his search for specimens.
The German Play.
The Unitarian church was well filled last night to hear the German play, "Gunstige Vorzeichen." The performance was a creditable one in every way and the eager attention and laughter of the audience showed that it was appreciated. The individual parts were all well acted, but Mr. Paul Faragher as Holdhaus, the mistaken wooer, made the greatest hit. He seemed to know just how an embarrassed lover would act. Mr. Riesen, as the old man, was well suited to his part. He was slow to grasp the situation but made the best of it when he did understand. Miss von Unwerth as his daughter was the typically quiet and timid young lady. Miss Hoskins entered well into the spirit of her part as a jolly, joking young lady who is equal to any emergency. Mr. Guy Brown as lackey played an indispensable part, although he did not say a word.
Lacrosse Teams Busy.
The tryout for places on the Lacrosse teams is narrowing down to seven or eight of the best of the players in each class. The freshmen and sophomores seem to be in the lead for honors at present. The freshmen under Downs have been practising faithfully ever since open weather has permitted it. The sophomores have elected Ansel Clark to head their squad, and are putting in most of their spare time in work. They have an advantage in that they have most of the men this year that won the class championship last year. The tournament will be held the latter part of next week, the winners having their names put on a scroll to be hung up in the trophy room of the new gym and they are also promised class numerals.
