TIGERS DROP FIRST GAME
SMOKE TOO DENSE FOR MIS SOURIANS YESTERDAY.
So They Were Unable to Find as Many Scores as the Jayhawks Another Today.
The swatfest held yesterday afternoon resulted in the defeat of the visiting Missourians. Sixteen knots were deftly placed in the Tiger's caudal appendage by the Jayhawk but in the proceeding the noble bird lost six pinfeathers.
Haydon, who was the first Missouri offering, got in bad with the local binglers in the very first spasm, and four hits, two of them for three-bases each, coupled with an error, permitted three of the K. U. runners to dent the rubber before the smoke cleared away. In the second inning Palmer led off with a double and slipped over the pan when Hayden and Alexander made mistakes.
In the fourth the Tigers took a sudden liking to Farrell's twist ers and assisted by a pass and an error, managed to tie the score.
Ebright's men then rose in their wrath at this inexcusable liberty and pounded out three more in the fifth. Doyle went in for Farrell and held the enemy to one run captured in the sixth. At the opening of the eighth Canto resigned in favor of Lock, who also let one Tiger escape him.
Mr. Marshall, of Columbia, was sent in to stem the rising tide in the fifth and he managed to keep back the flood for an inning and a half, then it burst upon him and he went under with a splash It was the lucky seventh and the Rockeyites knew it. They rose and snope Marshall's slow shoots for a mere trifle of seven runs. In the eighth they gleaned a couple more and then decided that their lead was safe enough to cease firing and got ready for the prom.
One Slip Hanlon carried away the batting honors. With his new stick he lined out two three-base hits and a homer. "Bun" was also the leader in the bobble department, having three mistakes credited to him by the scorer.
The fielding features of the game were two fast double plays the first put on in the initial and the second in the seventh inning
Batteries: Farrell, Doyle, Locke and Rockefeller. Missouri: Haydon, Marshall and Kline.
Hits—Kansas 14, Misouri 6
Struck out: By Haydon 3, by

GAVE DECISION TODAY.
Case of Sig .Alphs vs. Mrs Brownlee Settled.
The decision in the case of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity vs. Mrs. Ana Brown was rendered by Judge Brooks, in whose court the suit was tried. The fraternity was sued by Mrs. Brownlee the owner of the house in which
the fraternity men are living, for rent which, it was said, had not been paid by the fraternity. The members of the fraternity stated that the rent was unpaid because they had been called upon to settle for some plumbing which was done in the house,and which they said should have been paid by Mrs Brownlee.
The amount of the plumbing bill was $28.15 and by the decision today the Sig Alphs are instructed to pay $9.95 of that bill. They are also required to pay to Mrs. Brownlee $8.00, being the price of four locks which had been broken. The costs of the trial $10, were assessed against the Sig Alphs.
A party of eight friends of Miss Helen James came up from Williamsburg in automobiles for her recital Wednesday evening.

JUNIOR PROM WAS SUCCESS
DETAILS OF THE BIG PARTY WELL WORKED OUT.
Every Phase of Entertainment Complete—Standard Set by Former Classes Uphold.
The class of 1911 is to be congratulated. The seventh annual Junior prom, held in the Robinson gymnasium last night, was a success in every sense of the word All of the details of the entertainment were well worked out and each fitted into its place in such a manner as to make the entire afair successful.
The farce started shortly after ten and lasted an hour. It was in the opinion of all who have seen Junior farces before, the best ever given. The play this year was entirely original and embodied not only a number of well written lines but several catchy original song hits as well. These together with a east well trained in stage business, may be said to have "made" the farce.
The grand march started shortly after midnight, and the regular program of dances about 1 o'clock. Twenty-four dances were waltzed and two-stepped before Hall's orchestra played Home Sweet Home and the prom-goers made their way homeward at 5 o'clock this morning.
Two features of the party which played their parts in making the prom what it was were the decorations and the refreshments. Although the decoration committee was seriously hampered in its work by the fact that they were unable to begin placing the decorations in the big hall until yesterday morning, a unique scheme was carried out. The gym was transformed into a Japanese garden. The decorations while not so intricate as last years, were in perfect taste and entirely adequate.
The refreshments were served on the first floor of the building and consisted of a two-course luncheon. The service was good and little trouble was experienced in serving all of the dancers About 500 peoole attended.

Chancellor Wants no Trouble at Baker.
Chancellor Frank Strong today sent the following communication to The Kansas, with reference to the special train, which will go to Baldwin Monday for the Kansas-Baker base ball game:
To the Editor of The Kansan:
My attention has been called to the fact that our base ball team plays with Baker at Baldwin, on May 2, and that a few years ago on a similar occasion there was some trouble between the students of the two institutions. Vice President Parmenter, of Baker University, now in charge of the University in President Murlin's absence, and myself are very anxious that there shall be no disord or trouble between the two student bodies at the game next Monday, and I therefore urge our people to be courteous in their conduct, and careful of the good name of the University of Kansas.
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor.
Baker vs. Kansas,
TWO ADDRESSES BY STATESMAN
Monday, May 2nd Baldwin, Kansas.
Large Crowds Listened to Addresses on Contemporary History and Higher Education.
JAMES BRYCE LECTURED AND MADE CHAPEL TALK.
James Bryce, ambassador from Great Britain to the United States, went to Kansas City this morning after a two-days' visit at the University of Kansas, during which time he made two addresses at the University and attended the junior prom as the guest of honor. Today the Ambassador spoke to the school teachers of Kansas City, Kansas. Tonight he will address the Knife and Fork clug at Kansas City. Prof, Jesse Macy of Grinnell College accompanied Ambassador Bryce.
Ambassador Bryce expressed to Chancellor Strong his gratification at having been able to visit the University. "It has been an interesting and profitable experience to me," he said.
Seniors Lack Credit.
The lecture given Thursday evening in Robinson Gymnasium was attended by an assemblage of University and town people which filled the large hall to its capacity. The subject was "The History of Our Time." The speaker described contemporary history as the most interesting history and mentioned the subjects which in his opinion are most deserving of attention by the student of history.
The general subject of University education was the theme upon which the Ambassador spoke before a crowded chapel at the regular service yesterday morning. Mr. Bryce opened his talk with an appreciation of the beauties of the view from Mount Oread. "You are fortunate far above other Universities in having your school placed on this lofty and wind-swept top," he said. Chancellor Strong gave a luncheon in honor of Ambassador Bryce yesterday at which President A. Ross Hill of the University of Missouri, President H. J. Waters of the State Agricultural College the Regents of the University and local newspaper men were the guests. In the evening Prof. and Mrs. F. H. Hodder entertained at dinner in honor of the Ambassador, and later a reception was given to members of the faculty at the Chancellor's residence. Ambassador Bryce was present at the performance of the junior faree after the reception.
Registrar George O. Foster has been checking up the records of the seniors this week and as is the case each year, has found many students are lacking in the required number of credits for graduation. Thus far he has completed the checking of College seniors and in consequence has sent out about fifty requests for interviews. He hopes to see all such Monday or Tuesday and later in the week will talk with other students about their shortages.
