After the battle there will be a military ball in the dancing pavilion at the park to which all are invited.
The University company of the Kansas National Guard will receive its initial baptism of fire on May 17 when a real battle will be staged at Woodland Park. The annual State Encampment of the G. A.

KANSAS WON FROM BAKER
Made 17 Hits And Only Two Errors.
Manager Lansdon's nine piece orchestra journeyed to Baker-town yesterday and gave a delightful rendition before an appreciative audience of that fireside favorite, "After the Ball." The Methodist brethren from Baldwin have always had the reputation of possessing a cracking good symphony orchestra themselves but when the men of Captain Haller commenced the overture and had succeeded in making three of the members complete the circuit in safety, the men from Baker quietly roosined their bows and were content to play second fiddle for the rest of the game.
NUMBER 86
One Locke wielded the baton for the local musicians and under his direction there were only nine discords made which in the end counted for four runs. The Jayhawks started the game with an allegretto that double-quicked and accelerated into a vely vivace and before the boys from the south could strike their proper tempo three of the locals had reached the coda and had put their instruments away. The fifth number on the program was the disastrous one for the University boys. Several of the men lost their music and Director Locke lost control and before order could be restored Baker had made a score. After the last finale had been played the score read 10 to 3. Seventeen bits were made by the locals while the Methodists collected nine.
