BAKER DEFEATED
KANSAS WON A 5 TO 1 GAME WITH METHODISTS.
Harlan Out-Pitched Mason, the "Pride of Baker"—Allowed But Six Hits.
Before a crowd of 2800 persons on McCook field this afternoon the Jayhawker baseball nine amply demonstrated their superiority over the Baker University squad by administering a decisive defeat to the Methodists by a score of 5 to 1. It was a pitcher's battle throughout with Harlan of the Kansas squad pitted against Mason, the "Pride of Baker." All the advantage lay with the Jayhawker twirler.
Nine men fell victim to Harlan's curves and fanned the ozone in vain while only six safe bingles were gathered off his delivery. Mason was wild and practically threw the game away, although Captain Brokens's proteges swatted out six safe ones.
A delegation of 760 students made the trip from Baldwin to see them tramped down to defeat.
The college authorities at Baldwin chartered a train and gave all the students free transportation to Lawrence because of the day's work the student body put in yesterday clearing away the rubbish from the gymnasium. When the game opened the rooting was spirited but when Kansas gained a command lead the Baker rooters subsided into silence.

TO SPEAK AT HIGH SCHOOLS.
Faculty Orators in Great Demand Over the State.
The demand for Kansas University talent for addresses all over the state, is becoming more evident every year. During the past week nine commencement addresses have been delivered in various parts of the state by representatives of the University.
Chancellor Strong addressed the graduating class at Osage City Wednesday night, Larned, Thursday; Great Bend, Friday; and he will speak at Lyons tonight. Professor W. E.

PANAMA CANAL IN 7 YEARS.
Congressman Scott Gives His Views on the Great Canal.
Representative Charles F. Scott of the second district made one of the most practical addresses of the year in his speech on the Panama Canal Friday morning. Mr. Scott was a member of the congressional party that recently visited the Panama Canal zone, and discussed the building of the canal and the condition of affairs in Panama from the standpoint of personal observation. He said, "I was surprised to find alert, enthusiastic men working at Panama, instead of the weak, haggard class so common in the tropics." He accounted for this condition from the fact that the canal zone has been taken out of the tropics from a sanitary and industrial standpoint. "For this reason," said the Congressman, "the canal is going to be built and in approximately seven years, and the dream of the centuries will be realized."
Senior commencement invitations and programs will be on sale at the check stand beginning Monday, May 20.

PROM A SUCCESS
JUNIOR CLASS PARTY GIVEN TO 240 COUPLES LAST NIGHT.
Farce Contained Many Clever Hits.—Hall Lighted with Crimson and Blue Colors.
The annual Promenade given by the Juniors in the new Robinson gymnasium last evening was attended by 475 people and was by far the largest social event ever given at the University. The members of the class had worked and worried for weeks to give the first entertainment in the new building, and when the electricity was turned on and the light appeared filling the magnificent hall with a combination of crimson and blue, the last signs of fear passed from the members of the committees who had the Prom. in charge.
R. L. DOUGLAS
PRESIDENT OF THE JUNIOR CLASS
The guests began to arrive at 8 o'clock and were welcomed by the receiving line composed of R. L. Douglas and Miss Edith Turner, Cecil Forter and Miss Bess Tusten, Harold Bozell and Miss Rebecca Moody, Ray Cox and Miss Agnes Greenlees, Rex Singleton and Miss Kate Reynolds.
The musical farce called "The Eternal Question" was begun at ten o'clock and for an hour the audience was entertained with a clever comedy of many catchy and enjoyable "take offs." Billy Miller as Professor Olin and Frank Frickleton as Professor Notestein were received with hearty cheers. R. L. Douglas very successfully acted the part of Chancellor Strong at the faculty meeting to decide whether the

sexes should be segregated or no. Miss Kate Reynolds and Everett Copley in acting the part of two lovers segregated by a fence barrier were very popular.

The programs were given out by Miss Esther Rauch and Leonard Pulliam, and Miss Lulu Arbuthnot and Allen Dodge.

The championship game between the Laws and the Engineers has been postponed till Monday.
