Good Game.
In a game which aside from
the first inning was close and hard
fought the Delta Taus defeated the Bo-'
taB yesterday by a score of 16 to 6.
The Delta Taus batted first and
what with two errors, two bases on
balls and three hits, they scored ten
runs. Dwlght Bell went Into the box
at this point and enlled the Inning by
striking out two 'men. The remainder
of the game was well played and cloBe.
The Delta Taus out batted their op
ponents, getting twelve hits, five of
which were for extra bases.
In fielding the Betas held their own,
but their errors were usually more
costly.
Ball's work in left field was good. He
accepted five of six chances, some of
jvjilch were difficult ones; The official
joker says he Is in truth a Ball player.
Murphy played a consistent game
for the Betas. One of his hits was a
timely two-bagger over the right fiqld
fence, scoring Beghtol.
.The detailed score Is as follows:

THE Y. M. C. A. MIN8TREL TO BE

Long Delayed Entertainment 8oon To

Characters Will Take Part.
When Is a show a minstrel show?
When tho Y. M. C. A. presents one on
May 15. This will bo demonstrated
according to the old tradition of min
strolsy. Not that old songs or old
gags are to bo used far bo It from
such. Each and every song Is new and
each and overy Joke Is funny and or
iginal; each and every comedian is
at the service of tho audience. It 1b tho
object of tho management to entertain
tho most fastidious with a delight
ful production of melody, harmony
and wit.
In other words, this is to bo no or
dinary hum-drum minstrel; It Is to
be absolutely unique, in a clasB all
by Itself. Possibly you have gone to
other minstrel shows, perhaps you
were disappointed, but that moans
Blmply that the "Uni Minstrel" to be
given May 15, will prove satisfactory
to Just so much tho greater dogreo. It
will be wholesome, it will be enter
taining and above all it will bo ridicu
lously funny.
Nor are these empty and vain asser
tions lacking substantial support Tho
names of the two directors are quite
sufllclent In this regard Plumb and
Montgomery. The former has taken a
leading part in Glee Club productions
ever since the founding of that organ
ization; the later is a star in the
Dramatic Club and directed one of the
most original class entertainments
.ever put-on In the Omaha high school.'
'With these two heads close together,
having a common end in view, some-'
thing startling should resultsand will
result.
Finally, it is planned to make this
an annual University affair. It should!
be big and should receive the' sup
port of the entire school because it
will add a feature ' to the calendar of
the year's, events. JThe flrstfdkteset,
it has been found necessary to change"
but it is now .unalterably flxd for the1
.middle of the month and will pepulied,'
off according to schedule providinglthe
