K. U. Goes DOWN
Defeated by Washburn in Pretty
Ball Game.
No Scores Made Until the Four
tenth Inning.


Friday afternoon without a score on
either side X. U. made two runs in the
fourteenth inning and Washburn tied
the. score and went her rival one bet
ter in the last half Of this one eventful
inning of the long game. 1t was proba-
bly, the best college ball game of the
year from every angle. The collegians
played as steadily as league veterans.
Only three hobbies occurred during the
game and none of these figured in the
run getting. Both Lounberg and Har-
Ian pitched superbly. Their work shat
tered all collegiate pitching records
when it is considered that neither gave
a base on balls during the IA innings
and neither hit batsman. Seven hits
were made off each twirler, but Harlan
had the better strike out record, fam
ming Is to u for his younger opponent.
Both pitchers received brilliant sup
port, especially Lounberg when E. Nc
Campbell captured a hit along the left
field foul line labeled two bases with
runners on second and third at the
time. Again in the eleventh White cut
runner off at the plate by a brilliant
stop and good throw 3> = r. Nn.eR.a
The story Of the fourteenth inning is
the story Of the game. With one out
Gibbs hit for two bases. Young. was
an easy out, Lounberg to first and the
runner was held at second. Then came
tongue bat and hit the ball over the
left field fence. 1t looked like the game
had been lost then and there but Loun-
berg retired the next batter with ease.
Then the sons of Ichabod. those in the
stands as well as the warriors on the
made of. The dyed in the wool fans
gathered themselves into body and
sent forth the Washburn yell with more
volume and enthusiasm than at any
time during the game. Defeat seemed
certain. The two runs just scored were
as good as a dozen In the face of the
kind of ball Harlan was pitching, but
the Washburn fans and players started
the last half of the fourteenth with the
spirit that wins nine times out of ten
in the face of odds.
Foster opened bombardment with a
mighty double to center. Snyder hit to
third and beat out a low throw to first,
Foster going to third on the play. Then
came White with beautiful and time
ly drive to right that brought both run
ners home and tied the score. Dunn
away made his third hit at this june
ture, advancing White to third. E. Nc
Campbell struck out but T. McCampbeli
hit to short and White scored on a
short throw to the plate to head MIN
off and the great game was won:
It was evident that Harlan weakened
in the fourteenth. In the tenth, eley-
enth and twelfth innings the clever r.
U. finger retired Washburn in one,
two. three order. In the eleventh he
only pitched four balls to retire the
side. Angney played brilliantly for the
visitors, his catch of a foul ny against
the netting on the sidelines being fea-
ture. snyder caught a fine game and
his deadly whip kept the K. y. run
ners as close to the bases as Prince
de Sagan to Anna Gould Dunnaway.
White and Jennings were the heroes
v;tr the bfg stick. Jennings, home run
scored the only two tallies for the visi-
TORS and he made two other hits. Dunn
awsy also got three bingles. White got
two hits and one of these tied the score.
The spectators Went nome 70 az
s,,nnar hungry. hoarse and happy. They
had seen bail game in a thousand and
Victory came at the end when the dark
ness of defeat seemed to cover the held.
