Spreading their blankets on the narrow space at the top of the tower of the new Auditorium building of the htate College, four sophomores spent the night slumbering 160 feet above the ground to defend their class flag frnn freshmen. The climax In class rivalry was Teached Saturday night when the soph omores, tinder cover of the darkness, floated their banner from the flagstaff of the new Auditorium building. The only access to Its roof was by means of a ladder leading to a email trap door, ome 20 feet above the landing. At t o'clock In the morning about 75 mem-r-era of the '12 class had congregated to attack the stronghold. As fast aa tliev gamed the trapdoor leading to the roof their fingers were rapped with a stick and each freshman beat a retreat. A couple of rifles were pressed Into service, and a dozen or more shots failed to bring down the banner. The firing aroused the gtrls In the dormi tory, and by 6 o'clock the fracas had a go.-nlly crowd of spectators. At 7 o'clock a couple of daring sophomores succeeded In getting some breakfast to f?eir classmates on the tower by the aid of a long rope. When school opened at 8 o'clock the sophomores were still perched hteh on the roof. At noon I'resldent Bryan ordered each class to take down Its banner.

In the Bhort speech he delivered before 8 o'clock this morning to the resi dents of Morrow, and repeated here a little later, Mr. Taft demonetrated that his voice i in excellent condition, not withstanding the three weeks of constant campaigning he has undertaken. Senator Smith, of Michigan, who is with Mr. Taft, said Michigan would give the Republican party 80.000 plurality. As Judge Taft concluded a brief address at Salina and introduced Senator Smith, some one said: "Judge, just say a word to the chil dren," of whom there were many in the crowd. "My dear children," remarked the can didate, "you don't vote now, but some day you will, and I hope that when you do the girls will vote as well as the boys." DETROIT WINS ONE GAME (Continued From First Fage.) four times. His stinging single to right In the first drove in O'Leary with the first run of the game. In the fourth he reached first on a fielder's choice, but in the sixth he beat out his slow grounder, scoring Mclntyre. In the eighth his sprinting ability enabled him tp make a doubie of a hit which with a less speedy man would have been good for only one base. In the next Inning he singled and not only stole second but also stole third by a narrow margin. He had no oppor tunities in the field, to the great regret of his admirers In the stands. Others whose work contributed ma terially to the victory were O'Leary, Crawford and Rossman. each of whom made two hits, although Rossman and O'Leary were both charged with errors. To Mullln. however, the greatest credit was awarded by the spectators. Even In the fourth Inning, when all three of Chicago's runs were scored, he never faltered. His nerve remained steady, his arm strong and his control excellent. The -only base on balls which he allowed was turned into a run by Chicago. Attendance Is Slim. Despite the fact that the sun shone brightly today and the temperature was higher than yesterday, only 14,453 paid admissions were registered at the var ious turnstiles, netting total receipts of $;2,867. Dawn did not find the usual line of eager would-be purchasers at the ticket windows. It was 8 o'clock before a single line formed and when play be gan there were still vacant seats in the more distant bleachers. The seats, how ever probably would have been filled had It not been that many of the spectators chose to occupy temporary seats In the overflow grounds on the right, center and left fields. The game was scheduled to begin at 3 o'clock, but was postponed 45 minutes, waiting for the arrival of late comers to Oil the unoccupied seats. Detroit First to Score. Detroit was the first to score. In its half of the first Inning. O'Leary. wtth one out. lined one too hot for Steinfeldt. Ha went to second on Crawford's out and GAMP came home on Cobb's single to short Only one more hit and no more runs was the best Detroit could do until the sixth, when the Detroiters. in a fine rally, came from behind and. as it proved, put the game safely away." Mullin, the first man np. when three balls had been put acrosa the plate, disdainfully moved away from the plate and Pfeister was unable to get the fourth one over. Mclntyde singled to left and O'Leary laid down a nice bunt which filled the bases, and Pfeister failed to catch Mullln at third. Runs Come in Bunch. With none out. the Michigan contingent cheered wildly as Crawford came to bat. The sturdy center fielder swung viciously and the resulting grounder was alto gether too hot for Chance to hold. While Chance was whirling frantically around seeking the ball. Mullin crossed the plate and the other runners advanced a base each, leaving every point still occupied by a Tiger runner. The fleet Cobb beat out his own slow bounder to Tinker, and Mclntyre scored, the bases being still full as before, with none out. Rossman singled to right, scoring O'Leary and Crawford, while Cobb made the circuit from first to the end. Hofman captured Schaefer's fly to center and with a per fect throw caught Cobb at the plate. Thomas doubled to right field, scoring Rossman, but the rungetting carnival was stopped when Evers threw Coughlin out at first. Pfeister held the Detroiters hltless In the seventh, but he was pounded hard in the eighth. Cobb hit to left for two bases. Rossman beat out a pretty bunt, sending Cobb to third. Schaefer flew out to right and Rossman moved up to sec ond on Schulte'a throw to the plate, hold ing Cobb at third. Thomas walked, fill ing the bases. Cobb scored on Coughlin's out to Sheckard. Mullln hit safely to Chance, scoring Rossman. This ended the Detroit scoring, but they had all they needed, and more. How Chicago Scored. The story of Chicago's scoring Is r.ot a long one. although it looked in the fourth Inning as if the world's champions were going to repeat the successes of Satur day and Sunday. After striking Sheck ard out, Mullin gave Evers his bass on balls and the little second baseman, be ing caught off first by Mullin, raced to second and was safe on Rossman's high throw. Schulte fouled out. but Chance singled, scoring Evers. Chance stole second and came home when Coughlin made a bad throw of Stelnfeldfs grounder. Steinfeldt scored Chicago's third and last run when Hofman tripled withone over Coughlin's head. President Murphy, of the Chicago team, remained in his office throughout the game, owing to a severe cold. He stated that he would not accompany the team to Detroit to see the games tomorrow and Wednesday, as his doctor has advised him to cure his present Indisposition before exposing himself.
