2 GAMES OUT OF 3
KANSAS TOOK THIRD GAME FROM TIGERS, 11 TOI.
Jayhawkers Hit Safely 19 Times= Young Batted 4 Singles in 5 Times Up=Visitors 3 Hits.
Kansas evened up a few old scores with Missouri this afternoon by handing her a juicy little defeat of 11 to 1. The lone run chalked up to the visitors' credit was made in the eighth by an unavoidable error on Kansas. The Tigers reached first on a free ticket and the next man up drove a grounder to Angney who threw him out at first but the base runner ran on to third running directly in front of Baily as he was receiving the ball from Young. The ball passed on and the Tiger scored.
The Jayhawkers had their batting eyes with them throughout the game and before the contest ended 19 hits were marked up to their credit. Ben Young was the master of the stick, driving out four safe ones in five times up. Baily, Bloss Carlson, Hoffman, Kauffman and Brookens each landed safely twice and Holmes once.
In the box Kauffman never lost control of the situation and the three scattered hits that he allowed served only to tease the boys from Columbia. Capp issued out the pills for the visitors for the first five innings and after six runs had been made he was relieved by Jewett who apparently tried hard to come up to his predecessor but was unable to let in but five in the three innings he occupied the box.
This game concludes the series with Missouri and gives Kansas two out of the three games. The first game on Rollin's field was lost 9 to 3 and the second won 5 to 0. In the two games won Kauffman pitched for Kansas and allowed but 3 hits and 1 score.
The score by innings:

GAVE SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.
Orchestra Up to Usual High Standard at Spring Musicale.
The University Orchestra gave its second and final concert of the year in University Hall Thursday evening. The program rendered was fully up to the high standard which the orchestra has established for itself, and was heard by a large audience. There were solos by Miss Phipps, Mrs. Lyons, Mr. Hildebrand, Mr. Hawkinson, and a duet by Miss Riggs and Mrs. Lyons. The most pretentious piece of the evening was the "Dance Macabre," which was splendidly played, but the "Anvil Chorus" called forth the most applause from the audience.
Largest Sum Ever Cleared at Party Made Last Night.
SOPHOMORES BROKE RECORD.
The sophomore class made a record last night. A larger sum of money was cleared off the party given in Fraternal Aid Hall than on any other similar event ever given at the University. By far the largest crowd of the year was in attendance and over a hundred dollars was made over expenses. The good luck comes at an opportune time as the class was in a bad way financially. The event was a pleasant affair socially, although the immense crowd almost taxed the capacity of the hall. The music was good.
The sophomore class expects to give one more party during May.
Annual French Play May 8.
The French Comedy will be given on Wednesday, May 8 in F. A. A. Hall at 8:15. The play this year is well prepared interesting, and will be as good as any previous one. No admission charge.
J. W. Kayser, formerly editor of the Kansan, will be in Lawrence next week to attend the Prom. and visit friends.
