Missouri beat the Kansas City Jayhawkers 12-4 in 1893 .

The game was played in Exposition Park , which no longer exists as a park and is now a residential area.

The story runs across four-of-six columns of a full page of the paper, with some drawings in the middle that include people who seem to be intentionally drawn as children.

Missouri beat Kansas 12-4 in the first game of the Inter-Collegiate league in 1893 .

The game was the best-played game ever seen in Kansas City .

The story is broken up by a drawing of a player standing crouched on another’s shoulders.

I know this was a long one, I have a feeling as we get to more recent games, there will be less direct quoting of the papers in play, but there was just so much fun stuff in this one I couldn’t resist. There was no byline in this story and I can’t find info about who wrote for the Kansas City Times in 1893 . So, I apologize to this man’s family. His writing is great..
