STRONG NORMAL CLUB
Baseball Game Results in
Score of 5 to 8.
LOCALS BATTED WELL
Emporia Loses Its Second
Game of Season

The Friends University baseball team
scored its best and most complete vic
tory of the season yesterday afternoon.
when il met and defeated the strong team
from the State Normal school of Emporia
by a score of s to 5 1t was but the
second time this season that .the Emporia
team has suffered defeat.
The teachers from Enporia have met
already this season and defeated such
teams as Washburn College, of Topeka,
Kansas University, Manhattan and Beth
any College, OF Lindsborg. The Ouakers
are highly elated at their victory of yes
terday. as they have, indeed. the right
to be.
During the first part of the week En-
poria defeated Friends on the formers
grounds for the first time in three years.
Yesterdays game evens matters and fur
nishes each player with certain amount
of confidence when Will 10 doubt be
great stimulant in completing the re-
OF winnings.
The game yesterday was won. for one
reason. by Emporias inability TO con-
meet with McGilrs curves. Another rea-
son was on account of the heavy bat
ting done by Friends. Two and three
base hits were numerous. and home run
fairly set the fans wild.
McGill struck out eight men during
the nine innings, while Weiland. for the
teachers. succeeded in making but four
of the Quakers pound the atmosphere.
The heaviest stick work was done for
Friends by McGill and Thompson. The
latter got one single and home run. He
Knocked the home run at time when
there were two men on ba ses and the hit
resulted in three additional scores for
Friends. McGill nit the sphere for two
singles and a like number of doubles.
Boone also did fine work for Friends by
gathering in two long drives from the
field.
The lineup was as follows:
Friends-McGill. McCully, Hoyt Rich.
Davis Jones, Thompson, Boone and
Loomis.
mporia-Brookens, Weiland. Craig.

Mrs. j. e. southwick in "Eaust.n

Last year Sorosis Literary society of
Fairmount college introduced Mrs South
wick, an instructor at Emersons College
of Oratory Boston, Mass, to Wichita
people in her reading of Macbeth" with
which she greatly delighted her audience
This society has been fortunate in Sc
curing Mrs Southwick for Friday, May
she even excels her interpretation of
Macbeth She has rendered this pro-
duction in different cities from California
to Massachusetts. and has always carried
her audience by storm.
The Los Angeles Herald says: There Is
a distinct feeling of pleasure in listen
ing to an interpreter of fine literature
who comes modestly before the public
and by the sheer force of her intellectual
power and cultivated abilities arouses
her audience to keen appreciation and
high enjoyment of well-selected pro-
gram. Such an opportunity was given
here when Mrs Southwick recited."
From the Boston (Mass.) Herald: Sci
dom has this classic been so graphically
illumined on the stage, the absence Of
scenery and stage accessories really tend
ing to a clearer conception Of the more
subtle sentiment of the drama. The
characters. by the sole power and genius
Of Mrs Southwick. were endowed with
life, and moved and spoke. until one felt
as if in their actual presence"

CENSUS BUREAU FIGURES.
Estimate on Population Of Wichita
Necessarily Inaccurate.

The census bureau has recently issued
on the increase of population in the prin-
cipal cities of the United States. GER
tain fixed per cent of increase is given

curate, as, for instance, in the case OF
Wichita which has been growing much
more rapidly than the average city. The
circular is supplemented with the popula-

the assessors. On that report the ppo-
