J. RALPH BURTON TELLS THINGS
Talked to Good Government Club Tuesday Evening at the Beta House.
The first meeting of the Good Government Club since the recent election of twenty new members, was held Thursday night at the Beta house.
The feature of the meeting was the address of ex-Senator J. Ralph Burton on "Autocrats and Despotism." The speaker discussed at length the methods of legislation and the state of affairs at Washington as he has personally observed them. He emphasized the fact that the three departments of government, the Legislative, the Judicial and the Executive are many times dangerously influenced by each other, when especially the Judicial department should be free from all outside influence.
Prof. E. Haworth leaves this evening for Washington, D. C., where he will attend a conference of the state geologists and the United States Geological Survey.
JAYHAWKERS HUMBLE TIGERS
JENNINGS PITCHES GREAT GAME; KNOCKS TWO-BAGGER.
Squeeze Play Featured Fast Contest—Missouri Out-hit and Outfielded.
Yesterday afternoon, with Jennings on the pitcher's mound, Kansas humbled the Tigers on their home field by the close score of 2 to 1. Jennings allowed Missouri only four hits while the Jayhawkers were poling out seven bingles off Gunby.
The Tigers scored the first run of the game in the third inning on an error, a pass and a two-bagger. In the sixth Jennings opened up by doubling to right, Gibbs followed suit and Jennings romped over the pan. Gibbs was out at third but Carlson got around to the third sack. Doubleday bunted beautifully and Carlson rushed home on a neatly executed squeeze play.
The Kansans were the superiors of their opponents in every department of the game, but as it was the Missourians put up a close fight. The score:
R H
K. U. -0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0-2-7
Missouri-0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0-1-4
Kansas Beats Washington U.
Timely hitting, good fielding and superb pitching gave Kansas a victory over Washington in St. Louis Thursday. The game scheduled between the two schools for Wednesday was postponed on account of rain and Thursday's contest was played in a steady drizzle.
Harlan was in great form. Twice he pitched himself out of bad holes and the St. Louisans could gather in only two hits off his delivery. The feature of the contest was the sensational batting of Angney who poled four hits out of his five trips to the plate.
Hardaway, the star Washington twirler, was on the slab against the Kansans but he met his Waterloo. Besides being batted all over the ball lot, he could not locate the plate.
The score:
K. U...0 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 1-5-12-3
Wash...0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0-1-2-1
Announcement.
