WON IN TENTH
ST. PAUL AMERICANS DEFEAT VARSITY IN EXTRA INNING.
Kaufmann Kept Leaguers Guessing.—Sensational Catch by Bailey.—Varsity Hit Well.
In a pretty ten inning swatting bee on McCook field Monday afternoon the St. Paul team of the American Association defeated the Jayhawker nine by a score of 8 to 6. For eight long innings Captain Brookens' proteges clouted the ball with surprising regularity and it looked as if they had the game safely pocketed, but, alas—the Saints found a hole in the pocket and coming from behind in great style in the ninth, tied the score on a base on balls, a hit and three errors. Another hit and three more errors in the tenth and two more of the leaguers had runs chalked up to their credit and the game was lost to K.U.
It was an exciting game from start to finish. One Dick Kaufman, the ex-Drury star, handed out the lemon juice for the Jayhawkers and the Saints' batters were kept guessing throughout the entire contest. This was Kaufman's first appearance for the University team and he made good with the good spelled in large capital letters. Only eight bingles were gathered by the professionals from his delivery during the ten innings.
The Jayhawkers fielding was erratic. The one handed catch of a hot high one by "Spide" Bailey made the "kidding" old manager of the Saints open up his eyes and smile but again their work bore earmarks of the fifth street tiger variety. Considering the earliness of the season however all this can be forgotten with the knowledge that better is coming in the future.
The batting of the varsity squad delighted the hearts of every fan. Every man on the team swatted the ball hard and while some of them failed to garner hits, yet their work was such as to speak well for the future. Carlson was the candy kid with the willow stick, connecting safely for three bingles a la Napolean Lajoie.

ATTRACTING MANY VISITORS.
Fifth Annual Art Exhibit in Museum Building a Success.
The fifth annual art exhibit of the Fine Arts school is now being shown on the second floor of the Museum. The pictures are all of the highest type of art, and are exciting much praise from the art lovers of the city.
Views of landscapes are perhaps the predominating feature. The collection, however, represents as many phases of art as can possibly be seen from a choice of one hundred pictures. Miss Cora Parker's painting, "The Blue Waters of Gloucester" is attracting considerable attention. Various other Kansas artists are represented by paintings. Professor W. A. Griffith of the Art department has three pictures on exhibition. They are, "A Kansas Nocturne," "Maples on the Kaw," and "Poplars of Michigan."

Professor Griffith speaks this evening on the collection. Professor W.C.Abbot speaks on "Great Paintings" tomorrow evening.

ARTICLE BY PROF. BOYNTON.
Reasons Why High Schools Should Teach Economics.
In a bulletin published by the University for this month Professor Arthur J. Boynton has written an article of about ten pages advancing some reasons for the study of Economics in the high schools.

This article will be sent to the various preparatory schools of the state.

Juniors Turn Out Well.—Play Original with Local Setting.
