Creighton university and Kansas univer-
sity INDUCED in a two-sided hitting affair
at Creighton. field yesterday afternoon and
Kansas eventually pulled out OF the AFFAIR
by a score OF is to Is. The game was
loosely played and helded, and honors at
all times were about even.
In the second inning Creighton started
out to do things. and they batted the rolly-
polly boy, Alphin. all around the lot so
that they had to substitute Trivet in the
third inning. They were saving Trivet for
tomorrow's game with Nebraska, but they
needed him TO save the game. Until the
sixth all things were Creighton's, and then,
through a combination of errors and hits
Kansas gathered in nine more runs. In the
eighth they added two more to their score
and Creighton tried to win out in their
half of the game. but couldn't hit Trivet
hard enough.
The J~ayhawkers will play the University

rated here today when 1000 people saw the

Deacon" Phillip pitch what may last for
a long time this season as a record game.
He let Cincinnati down with but two hits.
but combined with a wild thrown this en-
abled them to escape a shutout. II was
clearly the pitching of Phillip, coupled
with the wildness Of Harper. that enabled
Pittsuburg to win. Harper allowed eight
bases on balls, once forcing a man over the
plate. Wagner not only batted we'll. but
made the sensational play of the day by
taking down a line hit Of Kelly's by Jump
ing far into the air and then being CON-
PEELED to juggle the ball before finally
catching It. 1t was the Arst day that the
Cincinnati base ball enthusiasts have had
q chance of seeing the magnificent improve
ments that have been added to their park.
II is now one Of the finest In the country
and has a seating capacity Of II, 900. With
