(American New Service) Detroit, Mich., Oct. 16. Before twenty thousand wildly enthusiastic baseball fans the Pittsburg National league champions, the Pirates, captured the world's championship from the Detroit Tigers, by winning the seventh game of the secies at Bennett - Park this afternoon with a score of

Despite the fact . that three of the Tigers were injured during Thursday's battle, none of the blame for today's defeat1 was laid to this fact. Tom Jones suffered a hemorrhage during the forenoon but insisted on report ing for practice and his final deter mlnatlon to play first base in this Im portant game was looked upon as heroic. All the unreserved space was early Jammed to full capacity, but the severe ' climatic conditions kept the reserred seat ticket holders away until the last hour before the game. There was considerable betting on the outcome and Just before the game started the ruling odds were eight to five in ! favor of the Tigers. . When George Mullin appeared on the field he received what was con ceded to, be an ovation second to none In enthusiasm to that ever received by any ball player. At the last moment Jennings decided to use Donovan and as the famous "Wild Bill" trotted out onto the diamond he also was greeted with great round of cheers. Donovan started off Immensely, not a hit being made off his delivery in the first round. In the second. ' however, Abstein . got a base on balls, stole second on the first ball pitched and went to third on Wilson's bunt in : front of the plate. Adams got a base on balls, filling the bases. Abstein scored on Hyatt's sacrifice. Leach drew Donovan's fifth pass and the bases were full again. Donovan's sixth pass put Clarke on first and scored Wilson. It was evident that the Pirates had Donovan's goat. The Pirates ' were blanked in the third inning, but made two hits and when it came time for. Donovan to go to bat, ' Mullin was substituted and this told the' crowd that tbey were right in favoring Mullin at the outset. Mullin began pitching for the " Tigers in the fourth Inning and while the Pirates made two runs they were not charged to any fault of his. In the sixth inning with one man out. Leach doubled to the left field crowd. Clarke drew a pass. Wagner followed with a double, scoring Leach " and Clarke, and went home himself on a wild throw In. At this point the hopes of the Detroit fans were entirely dissipated and as the Tigers had not scored up to this time, some of the discoruaged ones began to seek shelter from the elements and relief from the misery, of seeing their favorites meet defeat. Many fans left the grounds. Pittsburg scored again in the eighth, an entirely uncalled for performance and the immense throng was transformed from a baseball mad to a baseball sad multitude.

DEBATING OUTLOOK POOR AHARLHAM

Quaker College May Not Rank So High in Debating And Oratory. DEBATES NOT ARRANGED DEPAUW AND ALBION COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI ARE ANXI0U8 TO DEBATE WITH EARLHAM TEAM. After the triumph of Karlham College in debating and oratory last year the students are looking forward to the prospects for this year. Although five of the six members of the last year's debating team are attending college, it is doubtful whether they will again enter the proposed debates. The winners of the state oratorical contest is also in college, but she can not enter because the constitution of the State Intercollegiate Oratorical association forbids the winner to compete the second time. Last year the contract between DePauw, Butler and Earlham for a triangular debate expired. This year no agreement has been made between the colleges for a reorganization, and Earlham has no definite prospects in debates. The authorities .however, are corresponding with De Pauw, Albion, Mich., and Cincinnati university for a proposition' for this year. De Pauw wants a dual debate with Barlham. so does Albion add the University of Cincinnati. It is probable that the former will be accepted. The expense of an Albion debate is considered too great and there are other objections to Cincinnati. Plans Net Definite. If, therefore, a contract is made with DePauw, there can be one or two teams chosen! Should DePauw and Barlham both desire a debate at home then two teams of three men each will be chosen. If DePauw is the only college wishing a home debate, then the Quakers will select but one team. The latter proposition was the one considered by the college oratorical association last spring and seems at present the most feasible. ... The debating team last year consisted of Levi T. Pennington, Lester Haworth. V. D.- Nicholson, P. J. Denman, Homer Morris and Silas Farquhi. The first five men are in college, but are not anxious to take part in the work. Homer Morris is one that will compete, for he Is a junior while the othrs - seniors. H. P. Com stock, an alternate of last year, is also a senior and will probably not enter, while Carl W. Ackennan, an alternate member of last year's team, may enter. There are also a number of Freshmen to en,ter. This will leave the team for this year in practically new hands. It Is hoped by the student body that the old men will again take part so that Earlham may claim honors in this branch of state work. Miss Fenimore Out. Miss Janet Fenimore. the winner of the state oratorical contest last year, is in college, but will not be permitted to enter the contest this year. The constitution of the state oratorical associatlon ruling against a student's en-f tering after he has won In a previous contest. This leaves Levi T. Pennington, winner of second in the college oratorical contest last year, as the only formable man. Mr. Pennington also won the interstate Peace contest. He has a good reputation as an orator and if he enters, the honor of representing Karlham at Indianapolis in February will fall to him. With such propositions appearing th students are not able to decide as to how Earlham will rank An debating and oratory in inaian in iav iu w college year. Professor Thomas C. Trueblood, professor of elocution and oratory in the University of Michigan, may come to Earlham November 20 and give a reading of the Shakespearean drama "Hamlet.' Professor Trueblood Is one of the best readers in this country and has just been granted a leave of absence from the University for one year during which time he will make a toil'1 of the world and give Shakespearean readings.

TOM PETS IS CAUSING MUCH HEATED DISPOTES Superintendent of State AntiSaloon Wants State-wide Prohibition. But He Has Some Opposition. IMMEDIATE ACTION IS REGARDED AS UNWISE Some Think That People Should Have a Chance to Grow Accustomed to Stat utes Already in Force. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis. Ind Oct. 16. The dec laration made by the Rev. E. S. Shumaker, state superintendent of the In diana Anti-Saloon League, at South Bend, that the temperance people are going to work for the immediate en actment of a state wide prohibition law has aroused a great deal of com ment in this city, for it is known that the leaders of the Anti-Saloon league are not in harmony on that proposi tlon. Shumaker wants state wide pro hibition and there are some others al so who want it and who are in favor of going right after it. But on the other hand it is known that some of the other influential leaders believe that it will be bad policy for the league to make the fight for state wide prohi bition at this time. Was Hard Worker. Mr. Shumaker is one of the hardest workers the anti-saloon cause has ev er had in the state, and his work has been successful thus far. He has car ried the gospel of temperance into ev ery county, having made speeches and looked after organization matters in every nook and corner of the Hoosier domain. He has always been in t vor of the total abolition of the liquor traffic in Indiana and has worked toward that end. But there are good many among the anti-saloon league workers who believe that be ;s making a mistake in seeking to make the state absolutely dry. Some of the leaders are of the opinion that so much has been gained from the legislature in the way of new restrictive laws that the league had better wait awhile and let the people get accustomed to living under the new conditions before seeking to dry the remaining territory and making the whole state forever dry. This is one reason why a good many of them feel that it would be useless to hold elections in the remaining wet counties The fear that local option elections in Marion, St. Joseph, Allen, Vigo, Van derburgh and the other counties, for they could not probably carry them dry. They figure that to hold elections and fall in these largest counties of the state just at this time might prove to be disastrous to the cause of total prohibition if an effort were made to bring it about before the people become fully convinced that prohibition is a good thing in the counties which have already voted dry. They fear the moral effect of such a failure. Doesn't Share Fear. Mr. Shumaker, however, does not share this fear, although he says that to hold elections in these larger counties at this time would probably re sult in failures. He said in his address ftt Bend h hol cal option elections had reached the limit, and that no more elections would be held for some time to come. Just what effect Mr. Shumaker's declaration at South Bend will have on the future of the Anti-Saloon league is hard to tell, but It is pointed out here that if the people get the idea that there is any difference of opinion ; among its leaders as to the policy to be I rcn. fntnra ma Vo j to tQe leagu& And ,g sieved that ( the enemJe8 of the league wiU not lons the opportunity to make use of the talk of discord among the league's leaders. To Be Dry in 1912. Mr. Shumaker predicted that Indiana would be absolutely dry In 1912. He announced that the league will make every effort to elect temperance memoers 01 ine legislature next year from evry possible part of the state, in order that a prohibition bill may be passed. This has been the intention of the league all along, according to the statements which have been given out. although the leaders have said that they do not propose to draw any party lines in the matter. They say the league will support temperance men for the legislature, regardless of the party they belong to. They followed this same policy last year, and a few democrats were supported and elected, and when they got into the legislature they voted for the measures -CContlaaed on Pace Two)

Ruined Sprague Mansion Had Romance

William Sprague, Civil War Govern or of Rhode Island, by the burning of whose $1,000,000 mansion at Narragansett Pier, shown at the left hand, valuable and historic records were completely destroyed, despite the he roic attempt of the agegd man to save them at the peril of his life. Below the ex-Governor and his home is pictured Mrs. Sprague, his second wife, who barely escaped from the flames, which ruined his magnificent art collection, gathered from all over the world. The mansion was the rendezvous of noted characters in American state life. Horace Greely, Benjamin Butler, Samuel J. Tilden and Roscoe Conkling having frequently met there and been entertained by the Spragues. Because he was suspected by the former Gov ernor being too friendly with the first Mrs. Sprague, Roscoe Conkling, the handsome and brilliant New York Senator, was driven from the Sprague mansion one morning and a divorce followed. ASKS PROTECTION FOR YOUNG NIECE W. H. Bradshaw Thinks an Attempt at Kidnapping Has Been Made. APPEALS POLICE INFORMS DAY SERGEANT THAT CHILD'S GREAT-UNCLE MADE AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL BABY FROM HER AUNT. Declaring in a loud voice and dramatic manner that if Mitchell Hornaday, of Camden, O., ever came around 1x18 house again he would "strike for 11,11. 111.. 1 TIT XT the little thing Bradshaw, of that beats," W. H. 732 North Fifteenth street, appeared at police headquarters yesterday morning and sought protec tion for his little neice, Blanche Bradshaw, aged S years. Mr. Bradshaw stated to Sergeant Mort Little that the other night his wife was walking down Main street with his neice, when Hornaday, who is a great uncle of the little girl, snatched the child from her aunt's side and disappeared in the crowd. The police were immediately notified and a search was at once instituted which resulted in finding the little girl in an alley between North Seventh and Eighth street near Main, greatly frightened. Whether Hornaday had a criminal purpose in mind when he carried the child down the dark alley, is not known, but relatives are inclined to believe that his act boded no good and that he was only prevented from carrying out his design by the screams of the girl, and the fact that a large crowd gathered, frightening him away. Dispute Over Custody. There has been some enmity existing between the two men for some time, it is alleged, over the custody of the child. Little Blanche resides with her father, aunt and uncle on North Fifteenth street, and why Hornaday is desirous of obtaining possession of her is a mystery tt the relatives, who live In mortal terror, it is said, that the child will be kidnapped and carried away from them. The father of the girl. D. RBradshaw, Is also very indignant over j the matter and declared that it Hornaday ey came around he (Hornaday) nM never leave the place aliva. v. no r invRHtin th ffir and the mans arrest will result, it is said, if he causes any further trouble.

CLASPED HANDS ACROSS BORDER The Chiefs of Two Great Re publics Greet One Another In the Most Typical Ameri can Manner. LAST NIGHT'S BANQUET WAS CROWNING FEATURE Bond of Friendship Betweerf United States and Mexico Greatly Strengthened by tto Day's Events. (By Wm. Hester.) EI Paso. Tex.. Oct. 16. Amid Sal vos or artillery and the playing of martial bands, with the clanking of military accoutrements and the bril liant flash of gold lace; accompanied In short, by all the pomp and ceremony of a social festival. President Taft, of the United States and President Diaz of Mexico, clasped hands today in formal acknowledgement of the cordial relations existing between the two governments. The first meeting of the two presidents occurred at 11 o'clock this morning here in El Paso, on American soil, when President Dias accompanied by a brilliant staff, escorted by Mexican and American soldiers, presented his respects to the American, executive. The second meeting of the day occurred within an hour. President Taft being escorted across the internation al bridge, spanning the Rio Grande into Cludad Juarez, where in identically the same manner as marked the El Paso ceremony, he was received and welcomed to Mexico ty Diaz. The Contrast Was Marked. - The presidents exchanged compliments, the English language of which the Mexican president is a perfect master, beiug the medium of communication. No word of International -note was uttered by . either of them. There were smiles of contentment on their faces, their handclasps were hearty and they addressed each other in an unrestrained and familiar manner. There was a marked contrast between the two men. nevertheless. Diaz, nearing his eightieth year, but with vigor In hi manner and fire In his eye, was attired In the glittering uniform of a Mexican general officer, while President Taft. tall and stalwart wore the simple American frock coat. With Taft. similarly atUred. were Secretary of State Knox. Secretary of War Dickinson. Secretary. Nagel of the department of commerce and labor and Postmaster-general Hitchcock. i uu w iui uw mumi iji caiurui, ait aozen 01 me leading oincuus oc Mex ico. . J The combined group suggested to the beholder the sharply drawn lines along which these two great states of the- North American continent have been built and are working out their destiny, the one under , the Iron band of a military leadership, tbe other, under a regime of which simplicity and piece are the domlnators. All tbe shops and business places in El Paso were closed. Tbe national colors of the two states were displayed everywhere and the International bridge, which spans tbe muddy Rio Grande boundary line between the two nations, was completely hidden under a blaze of color. Mexican and American troopers possessed the streets except where Mexican senorf-. tas and Texas belles contested the right of way with them. Strains of the "Star-Spangled Banner" were blended with La Paloma." the Mexican national anthem. Fully 50.000 people crowded into the twin cities and tendered tremendous ovations to tbe two presidents, whenever they appeared on the streets of either El Paso or Juarez. Banquet Crowning Event, The crowning event of the affair was tonight when President Diaz tendered a banquet to President Taft over in Juarez. It was the most sumptuous affair of the kind ever given fat Mexico, where lavish entertainment la not uncommon. . All the decorations) for the banquet, with the furniture, plate, glassware and table senrleo generally, was brought from Mexico City. Tbe service plate was of gold and was one of the reminders of the Ill-fated Maximilian, once emperor of Mexico. But two toasts were drunk, one to the President of the United States and the other to the President of Mexico. Tbe words that were m tered at the banquet board as In the case of . the greeting exchanged daring the day. have been prepared ahead and submitted to the foreign office of each republic, so that ft may confidently be asserted that to the end of this notable ceremony will go through smoothly and according ts) diplomatic schedule.
