The Earlham team was in the pink
Of condition when the whistle sound
ed this afternoon for the kickoff in
the Butler game. Friday afternoon
Coach Vail had his squad out for a
light practice. After drop kicking and
punting instruction the varsity lined
up and ran through signal practice for
about half hour then Vail chased
them off the lot. The Quakers seemed
to have plenty Of ginger and their of
fensive plays were executed quickly
and smoothly.
The week after Thanksgiving all
candidates for the yellow and white
soccer football teams will be called
out and the men will be instructed in
the rudiments of the great English
game, which is growing to be general
1y popular throughout this country.
II want every young man in the
school to take part in some form of
athletics" said Coach Vail Friday.
There is at Earlham, like there is in
ever school in the country, large
number of young men who decline to
take any part in athletics. They re-
fuse to try for the various athletic
teams either because they take no in
terest in sports; because they are too
lazy to exert themselves or because
they like confidence in themselves
Right now there are several men in
the school who refuse to try for the

continued Mr.. Vail. II don't know
what kind of material will be develop

with other schools. The best players
will be placed on the yellow and
white teams and these two teams will

The base ball team has lost a splen-
did man in White who was recently
expelled. Last spring White was cap
tain of the base ball team and gave
promise of developing into a splendid
pitcher. Manager Jessup of the Rich
mond team thought so well of him
that he tried to sign him. White re
ported to Manager Jessup but return
ed home the following day, having de-
cided not to enter into professional
base ball. White before his expulsion
made a good showing at end on the
football team.

From the statements of one Of the

the tool house, which had been their
nightly rendezvous, when the place
was set on fire by a candle which was
being used as light. Cronin, the
other men said, had been carried into

I TAMMANY wins

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS BOLT
TICKET RATHER THAN swALe
LOW HEARST ALLIANCE.

New York, Nov. 6. The tammany
tiger devoured the William Randolph
Hearst political coalition yesterday
and today is licking his chops over
the bones Of the independence
League.
BY pluralities approximating 10000
the entire city and county ticket of
the democratic organization has won
out over the combined nominations of
the regular republican and the Hearst
party. Numerous bulletins wired to
William Jennings Bryan during the
evening made it plain to the latter
that his adversary in the far east had
sustained a defeat and loss Of pres
tige that are likely effectually to re.
move him as factor in the presiden,
tial contest next year.
Ihmsen Showed Under.
Tom Foly's plurality for sheriff.
with few election districts missing,
is about 10000, or two-thirds of the
total Hearst vote in the county. Mr..
Hearst apparently furnished about
tw7-ffths of the vote for Ihmsen.
Tammany elected all the municipal
court justices in the county except
in the ninth district.
The Joss of four of the nine repub-
iican assemblymen in the county was
the most serious result to Mr. Par
