BASEBALL IN FEBRUARY.

First Game of Season Played in Kan-
sas City, Kas.

To Kansas City, Kas., belongs the credit for the first baseball game of the season. It was yesterday afternoon and the opposing teams were the Chelsea schol and the second team of the Kansas City university. Seven innings were played, the university team winning by a score of 13 to 11. A member of the Chelsea team reported the contest. He said: "They run in three men on us, understand, I mean men, not boys. Three men. The umpire was a little shady on a few of his decisions, too, and he ought to get his lamp wicks trimmed. Put this dope in the paper, now, for I want to send a copy over to the captain of that team of yokels. If they hadn't run in those ringers on us we would have eaten 'em up."
