HUTCHINSON WON
VARSITY LOOSES FIRST GAME TO LEAGUERS 6 TO 1.
Harlan in Box Made Good and Noyes at Third Played Well. Game Played in Rain.
Notwithstanding a chilly rain from the north about three hundred hungry baseball fans witnessed the first game of the season upon McCook field this afternoon at which the Hutchinson Leaguers walked off with the game to the tune of 6 to 1.
The game was void of any sensational plays where the grand stand roof is raised with bursts of enthusiasm, but on the other hand repeated juggling with the slippery ball made it manifest that the weather was not fit for the real game.
Harlan showed himself to be of the right fibre for a box artist. In the innings played there was not a man earned a run. He issued five bench passes to the leaguers who couldn't find the ball. Noyes made good at third and repeatedly used his head in allowing a doubtful ball cross the foul line before touching it. He also spanked a nice two sacker over the right fielder. Hoffman made the score for Kansas from a single in the first inning.
Carlos Johnson, last year's base ball captain for Kansas, played an errorless game at first for Hutchinson, and secured one safe drive.

MacDONALD TO JOURNALISTS.
Says the Journalism Course Is No Longer Derided.
The journalism classes received the address of John McDonald on Friday with much enthusiasm. In his characteristic manner the Topeka editor amused and instructed the coming newspaper men for an hour. He told of the adverse criticism of the state press when the Journalism classes were organized in the University of Kansas, and said that the practical side of the course is beginning to be fully recognized all over the state. Many valuable hints were dropped during the address and the budding journalists enjoyed a laugh that they will not soon forget.
JOHN MacDONALD AT CHAPEL.
A Characteristic Speech--No Prima Donna in Reply to Encore.
John MacDonald, editor of the Western School Journal, was the special attraction in chapel yesterday morning and made a characteristic speech. He recounted the fact that he first visited Kansas thirty-seven years ago and at that time came to the University and met Professor Snow. "And," said Mr. MacDonald, "we'll both be here thirty-seven years from now, talking over the history of the last seventy-four years." At the close of his speech Mr. MacDonald received a hearty encore, at which he rose and said, "I am not a Prima Donna."
FUNERAL SERVICES TUESDAY.

The funeral services of Professor P. J. Williams will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the Baptist church in Lawrence. A number of the members of the faculty will attend.

OPENS MONDAY
EXHIBIT BEING ARRANGED TODAY IN MUSEUM.
Works by Miss Parker and Mrs. Canfield, formerly of Kansas. Lectures Each Evening.
The paintings for the Annual Art Exhibit to be held here for the next three weeks by the Kansas Art Association have arrived from Kansas City. They were hung in the second story of the Natural History Museum today under the supervision of Professor Griffith. There are one hundred and one of the paintings.
These works of art have been collected throughout the winter by Professor Griffith and Miss Cora Parker, who was once art director here. Miss Parker is the painter of "The Blue Waters of Glouchester," one of the best pictures in the collection. Another former resident of Lawrence, Mrs. Canfield, wife of Professor James H. Canfield, once professor of economics here, is represented by two paintings.
The exhibit opens Monday morning at nine o'clock and the paintings will be shown every day until five o'clock. Every evening except Monday and Tuesday a lecture will be given in connection with the exhibit. All sources of information, as reference books, will be at hand for the use of visitors, and the exhibit promises to be of much value to all interested in art. At the close of the exhibit here the pictures will be taken to Lincoln, Nebraska, under the auspices of the University of Nebraska.
MADE IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Ex-Kansas Graduate Found Method of Sewage Purification.
Mr. F. B. Porter, K. U.'03 who is now chemist for the Swift Packing Company, has succeeded in devising a method for the purification of the sewage from the Swift and Armour packing plants at Ft. Worth, Texas.
The experiments which Mr. Porter has been carrying on were made at an expense of $40,000. They have effectually proved that the waste from large packing plants can be so purified as to be no longer a menace to public health.
THE CRISIS A*L*L *S*T*A*R *C*A*S*T April 4 and 5
POWER PLANT INADEQUATE.
The New Gymnasium Will Over Tax its Capacity.
"Long prefoire the new power plant is ready for use the University will be face to face with a grave problem of securing sufficient light," said Prof. P. F. Walker of the mechanical engineering department. "Even now the plant is being run at its fullest capacity to supply the needs of the University and when the Robinson Gymnasium with the five hundred incandescent and six arc lights for its lighting is completed, it will be a serious question whether the already over-taxed system can fill the demand. The plant is not only small but is equipped with antiquated and inferior machinery. In the power house the boilers are old style and hand fed; in the shops the engines should be replaced by upto-date turbines. The generators are all of an old model.
The only way to keep the University in light until the new plant is installed next year is to limit the supply of power of many industries throughout the University. Thus the liquid air plant will have to be shut down much more than now, and the same with other things. It is very doubtful whether even this method will suffice.
WILL ATTEND ROYAL BALL.
Prof. H. H. Vaughan Invited to King Emmanuel's Ball at Rome.
Professor H. H. Vaughan, assistant professor of French, Italian and Spanish, who obtained a leave of absence at the last meeting of the Board of Regents, will spend the year in Italy and the romance countries studying dialects and making observations preparatory to writing a book on "Effect of the Moors on the Spanish Language." He has received an invitation from King Emmanuel II of Italy to a royal ball to be held in Rome next summer. This invitation was obtained through his personal acquaintance with one of the officers of the Royal Guard whom he met while studying in Italy some time ago.
Talked at Y. W. C. A. Meeting.
Miss Strong, city secretary for the Y. W. C. A. in Kansas City, Missouri, addressed the Y.W.C.A.last Wednesday on "The Ideal City Association and Home." She spoke of the need of more workers and equipment to carry on the city association work and the necessity of having college women for this work. The special music was a vocal solo by Miss Hoisington.
Junior Class Meeting.
The junior class will meet Monday noon to discuss important matters about the Prom.
