BARTHOLOMEW. Trum Backus, captain of the College base ball team, played with the Emporia team against the Blues of Kansas City last Thursday. Backus played a clean game and did not make an error. He had no trouble in finding the pitcher's errors and won applause from the grand stand by making a three-base hit. The boys are taking advantage of the fine weather and every afternoon the tennis balls can be seen whizzing backward and forward, over the nets south of the College.

This is the kind of enthusiasm that counts. The tennis manager has worked faithfully to get the courts into good shape and now that he has been successful he feels gratified to see the boys practicing and getting- into shape for the inter-collegiate tournament in May. The Freshmen and Sophomores played a remarkably close and exciting game of base ball on the diamond last Saturday afternoon. The game showed snap and ginger all the way through and but few errors were made on either side. Case made one of the star plays for the Sophs, when he caught a hot liner with one hand.

Chas. Lawrence did excellent work on first and did not make an error. Backus, Case and Anderson did the best batting for the Sophs. Among- the Freshmen good work was done by Swan, the catcher. He rarely allowed a man to steal second on him.

When the ball was not pounded out into the field it always found a resting-place in Swan's mit. Lee Roberts, the first baseman, distinguished himself not only as i ball player but also as a rooter. Hbout Serial Xbtnga. BY SCOTT. The ladies of the Thespian society have decided not to have their open meeting- on the evening1 of April 18, as was announced in our last issue.

Much to our regret it has been postponed indefinitely. We have several times felt like asking what has become of the J. F. R. and the Social Club.

That there is a desire among many of the students for the revival and maintenance of one or' more of the social clubs, we doubt not. Who will start this work going? The -olian club was entertained-Saturday evening by Miss Louie Hogue at her home, 1003 Mechanic street. Those who were in attendance from College circles were: Misses Wessie Wise, Jessie Ford, Gertie Burr, Jennie Thomas; Messrs. John Haver, Watson Randolph and Perlee Burton. Rev.

Thomas Dixon, lectured on the subject of "Backbone" to a large audience at Albert Taylor Hall last Friday night. A great many College students attended, Thomas Dixon's grit and backbone, as displayed in his work for municipal reform in New with his power of oratory, has gained for him a world-wide reputation. From start to finish his lecture was a popular one and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Philologic boys will give their open meeting tomorrow night. Although we have waited long and eagerly for this event yet we know that when the Phil's prepare to do anything they go into it in earnest, determined to make it a success.

We feel safe in saying that their open meeting will be far ahead of any of their former meetings before the public. An excellent program has been prepared and if the evening is favorable a large crowd will attend. An enjoyable Easter party was given last Saturday afternoon from four to seven o'clock by Mrs. H. H.

White, 915 Rural street. A select company of College girls were the guests and they had the time of their lives. They say that hereafter there will be no boys invited to their parties as they can have a much better lime without them. We regret exceedingly the conclusion they have reached but will trust the College girls implicitly in whatever they do. The chief amusement was in dressing eggs with tissue paper in imitation of College people.

'00" Did you hear how Jones got stuck?" '01" No. How was it '00" Why, his wife asked him for some pin money. One of the most remarkable cases of preserved life is the man who is always "broke." He is said never to have been in the ark, and his name was not in the list of drowned. Invalid in New Mexico I came all the way from New York for the consumption." Native" Indeed, madam, it is a long ways to travel, but I see that you have got what you cam a for." A musical student was asked the other day what key the Spanish torpedo flotilla was in.

The Spanish think if they could only get hold of Key West, they would wind up the war in a little bit. Cow creek is a small stream that runs through Hutchinson.
