Normal 1a; Emporia 10.

Emporia, Kas April 13.-The baseball
season in Enporia was opened Saturday
with a game between the Presbyterian
college and State Normal teams. The
score resulted 13 to 10 in favor of the
Normal. The game was exciting and
full of good playing. except in the sixth
and eighth innings. In the eighth the
college went to pieces and lost the game
here, as the teachers ran up seven
scores. Up to this point of the game it
looked a certain victory for the coll
legians. Wieland the new Normal
pitcher, proved himself one of the best
the school ever had and Lamar for the
PresbYterians is one of the cleverest
twirlers that ever played on an En-
poria school nine. Bright. the Normal
short; Nose. the college center: Nc
Cabe at short and Lamar, the Presby-
terian first baseman, did the most
creditable work today and are exceed
ingly promising for this season. Noses
home run was a feature of the game.
