KANSAS WON
FIRST GAME WITH CORNHUSKERS WAS EASY ONE.
Visitors Left Field in Second Inning—Walker, Huff and Harlan Did Star Work.
The first baseball game of the season against Nebraska was played on McCook yesterday afternoon. The result was a victory for Kansas with a score of seven to two. The game was a good one and showed marked improvement in the playing of Kansas' men over the work they did in the first games. Harlan in the box did especially good work and the support given him by the other players made it possible for an easy victory.
It looked for a few minutes as though the game would end in the second inning. Metcalf of Nebraska while running from first to third on a hit made by Stuznegger cut second base and was called out by Umpire Howell. Nebraska immediately sacked the bats and started to leave the diamond saying that they would not finish the game. However after Kansas agreed to allow Metcalf to stay on third they came back and finished the game.
The game started at four o'clock with Kansas at the bat with Ward in the box for Nebraska. Four hits, a base on balls and three runs was the record of the first inning. After that it was comparatively easy. Another run was scored in the third, another in the fifth and two more in the seventh. Nebraska made one run in both the second and third but could not bring in any more.
The feature hitting for Kansas was done by Huff and Walker, each landing two base hits.
