f-N. The Daily Nebraskan VOL. I, NO. 133. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, MAY 5, 1902. Q THREE CENTS H' WAKE IT TWD WORE 'Varaity Adds Two Moro Bcalps to Ub Collection. Kansas and High land Park are the Now Victims. Nebraska had an off day Friday and the second Kansas gamp nearly result ed in a defeat. Over-confidence and some bad errors by the boys combined with an improvement in the playing of the Kansas men. was the cause. The dust and wind which prevailed made good ball playing impossible, and it is not to be wondered at that the game was not a better exhibition of baseball than it was. Kansas started the game with Townsend in the box for Nebraska, but nothing was accom plished In the first inning. Maltby. who played right field in the Thursday game, pitched lor the Jayhawkers, and succeeded in putting out the first three Cornhuskers who came to the bat. Townsend struck out two men in the second, the other going out on a fly to Rhodes, and Bender came to bat for Nebraska. Both he and Gaines retired on (lies to third base, and then by a series of safe hits Townsend. De Put ion and Raymond scored, Coi'telyou dying on third base, the result of a ball from Hood who was late in getting to first. Kansas took a lead in third, be cause of an attempt at grandstand playing on Nebraska's part, that re sulted in an error. Three scores fol lowed before the inning was over. When Kansas retired in the sixth, the score stood 10-5, in favor of Kansas, and the bell-ringers realized that it was to them to do something, and be fore De Putron went out on a grounder to third, seven men had crossed the home plate amid much excitement. Kansas scored two in the next inning, making the score even. Raymond and Oortelyou added two more for Nebras ka in the seventh, and Kansas equalled it in the eighth, but Townsend made the final score in the latter half of the same, and Kansas, failing to do any thing in the ninth, Nebraska retired with the honors. Several In excusable errors were made by the home team, caused principally by an attempt to do spectacular playing be fore the grandstand. Such work Is not baseball and never meets the ap proved of the spectators. Score by innings: Nebraska 0 3 1 0 1 7 2 1 15 Kansas 0 0304322 014 Batteries Townsend and Bender; Maltby and McKean.

The baseball team left Saturday morning at five o'clock on its eastern trip that will cover a period of over two weeks. The first game was played Saturday afternoon with Highland Park at Des Moines, Iowa, and in spite of reverses for the Cornhuskers. result ed in a score of fi-1. In their favor. In the third inning Doane. who was doing the catching, retired with a split thumb, and as Bender had missed the train in the morning. It was irecessary to fill the position from the field. Rhodes gave up his position as short stop to Townsend in order to play be hind the bat, and Bell came In to sec ond leaving his place In the field for Letherby. In spite of the fact that the boys were unaccomstomed to playing in these positions, they were able to thor oughly defeat their opponents. Ben der arrived In time to catch the last three Innings. Highland Park has a team with an enviable reputation, and that the Cornhuskers were able to suc cessfully cope with them In spite of misfortunes, proves more than ever the superiority of the Bell colts. Battery Gaines, Doane, Rhodes, Bender. The team plays Iowa university today. PI BETA PHI BANQUET.

A crowded house greeted the presen tation of the play "A Pair of Spec tacles" at the Oliver theater Friday evening. The extensive advertising of the two talented players, Coach Walter C. Booth and Miss Alice Howell, serv ed to draw out a large audience. Those who attended were loud In their praise of the entire entertainment. The awkwardness so often Been In amateur performances was hardly ap parent ininy of the situations, so care fully had the rehearsals been carried out, and so well was the entire cast trained. The board feelB greatly un der obligations to Miss Howell for her efforts In supervising the details of the production and in training those who participated. The play was Sydney Grundy's charming comedy made famouB by the English actor, John Hare. Coach Booth had the part taken by Mr. Hare, that of Benjamin Goldfinch. Miss Howell appeared as Mrs. Goldfinch. The comedy element centers In the trials of Benjamin Goldfinch, a retired London merchant of a most open hearted and unsophisticated nature. He is enjoying life In all kinds of charitable work when his brother, v-regory, appears on the scene and per suades him that people are simply working him. Having borrowed a pair of spectacles from Gregory, Benjamin sees everything from tho standpoint of the former. He charges everyone with dishonesty. Finding his love letters In his wife's desk and not recognizing the mark "his letters," believes ho has unearthed a scandal. His son Percy comes in for a share of the suspicion, as also his nephew Dick. Benjamin finally recovers his own spectacles and sees things normally. The complica tions of three acts are finally adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned. Delbert Gibson had the role of Greg ory and Claude Davis .that of Dick. In the scenes with his father, Mr. Davis utilized the opportunity for some clever comedy and did a subtle bit of acting. The part of Percy was in the hands of Fred J. Kelly, a popular member of the senior class "who has figured in other productions of the dramatic talent of the university. Miss Gladys Henry plays Lucy Lorimer, H. Gladys Henry played Lucy Lorimer, H. C. Fllley, the part of Joyce, butler to Goldfinch, and Alvin Gilbert, Bartho lomew, Goldfinch's shoemaker. Mrs. Addle J. Jennings as Charlotte, R. C. Powers as Percy's shoemaker, and Fred Ptah as Lorimer, complete the cast. Ea'ch part was exceedingly well ren dered and grent credit Is due to those who took part. Coach Booth won a large -remount of applause by his ex cellent Interpretation of "Undo Ben jamin's" character. The work of Miss Howell ns Mrs. Goldfinch was also of a high order and showed much abil ity and experience. NEBRASKA-MIS80URI DEBATE.
