KANSASDEFEATED.
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-
