Teams Play Amid Clouds of Driving Dust Score 14 to 17 A Large Increase in Attendance in Spite of Weather. Kansas offered herself as a' victim to our fast college ball team last Fri day and was defeated by a score of 17 to 14. The day was a poor one boih for spectator and player. A strong south wind, almost a gale, blew clouds of dust across the diamond, making accurate playing most difficult, as the error column will show. The pitchers had much to contend with, facing a strong wind. The bat ters, as the number of hits shows, took advantage and made the twirlors records look like thirty cents. Town send, however, had tho beat of it, fan ning eleven Jay Hawkers and except for the almost fatal sixth inning, only scattered hits were made off him. Hall also pitched a pretty game, although by no means fanning so many Nebras kans as Townsend did Kansans. Hall Is a likely youth, and with ordinary batters would prove most effective. Flnley caught for Nebrasna and put up one of the nerviest games on tho campus. Despito the dust ho did not let a ball pass and made two or three pretty jumps after some wild ones. In the sixth Inning he got too close to a Kansas batter and was acci- dontally,kockcdj. townifoyBwlmgpt, the 'Jay ' Hawker's batfFinley, "how- over, plucklly stayed In tho game af ter a couple of minutes' rest. The trouble started with Kansas at batt White, their good looking third baseman, picked up a young tree, walked over to the plate, spat upon his hands, rubbed them In the dirt, nnd krt, It Do Putron, who was tired of stand ing on third In the hot wind, stole homo. Townsend went out on a fly to center field, but Nebraska had piled up four runs. In the third Kansas scored one run. Curry fanned and Hall went out on a foul, Flnley making a pretty catch against the fence. White sent a hot liner past third base, started to steal second, but went homo on a fumble of Flnloy's throw to second base. Poor man fanned, making the sixth victim in three innings to Townsend's curves. In her half of the third, Nebraska only made seven runs. It came about thus: Gains hit to short, who fumbled in the 'latest style. Rhodes hit to White, who made a poor throw to first, and Hood hit again to short-stop co see how that individual would act. He fumbled the ball ns gracefully as be fore, Tho center field, not to be put done by his captain, also let the sphere roll by him. While this was going on, everybody had gone home and sat down on tho bench to rest. Flnley followed with a hit to short, but this time Poorman got down on his knoe3 and gathered in the ball, catching the run ner at first. Bell hit safe, stole second, but was caught on third on De Putron's slow grounder to short. Ray stole second. Reeder got his base on balls. Raymond hit to short, who fumbled, filling the bases. Townsend hit to center field. Barnett was evidently dreaming of sunny Kansas, for he let, . . era went nome. iuaiHS'mnaea?ar Jayhawker captain fainted from joy;- ' In the fourth Kansas placed three more runs along side the lonesome lit tle fellow made In the third. McCamp bell began with a single. Prey went out on a fly to Reeder. Mac stole sec ond. Tucker, Just to show how It was done, fanned, this making the second time for him. A long single by Schraut brought McCampbell In. Bar nett sent a long single to center, but De Putron, after a long run, failed on a difficult catch. Curry hit safe, bring ing in two runs. Hall struck out. For Nebraska Rhodes hit safe and went to second on an error by Curry. Hood went out on a fly. Flnley sent a single to Barnett, who threw home to catch "DUsty." Connections failed there and Flnley had also stolen second by this time. Bell reached the Initial bag on an error by White. Reeder's long single to center brought in the tvo men on bases. Raymond on a hit to short forced Reeder out at second. Kansas made two more in tho fifth on Rhodes' error, lotting Poorman to first and McOampbcH's home run. Ne braska men went out In ono, two, three order. In tho sixth Kansas jumped onto Townsend and made him look like thir ty cents. A couple of bad errors ma terially f aided tho Jayhnwkers. It happened -thusly: Schraut got his base, Barnett and Curry followed with singles, Hall a two bagger, and White another single! Poorman sent a hit between Gaines and De Putron, and neither one got It McCampbell followed with another safe one. Prey hit to Rhodea, who fumbled and Reeder followed suit on Tucker's grounder, letting that gentleman to first. Schraut fanned and Galnca caught Barnett's fly. Prey started to steal third and Pinley threw high, let- 'S . o
