Jayhawker Baseball Team Suffered a
Most Ignominious Defeat.
Lawrence. Kas., Nay 17.-Aissouri
administered to the Jayhawkers the
most ignominious defeat a Kansas
baseball team has suffered in years
Wednesday afternoon, shutting them
out on McCook field by a score of 10
to 0.
To say the Kansas men played like
nuts would hardly be doing justice
to the situation; they literally handed
the Tigers the game several times over.
Five singles we're all the Missouri
team could connect for during the
game and all Of these in different in
nings, but the nine rank errors which
the Kansas team made and the six
bases on balls which Kansas twirIers
handed out were more than enough to
make up for the Tigers deficiency in
the hitting line The seventh was the
most disastrous inning for Kansas.
Kirmeyer replaced Hoffman without
warming up and before the inning
was out two bases on balls, two men
hit by pitched balls, a single and
three rank errors netted the Missouri
team six scores. Missouri robbed
Kansas men of hits time and time
again by brilliant fielding.
