WORLD SERIES.
The Tigers Lose the First Game to
the Serappy Cubs.


The Tigers Lose the First Game to
the Scrappy Cubs.
Victory slipped from the grasp OF
the Tigers at Detroit in the first game
of the second worlds series In which
they have figured, just as it seemed
almost certain that they had shaken
off the hoodoo that pursued them in
their first quest for the blue ribbon
honors of baseball. Coming into the
ninth inning of game in which they
held lead of one run, the score at
the start of the round being to in
Detroits favor their pitcher, Eddie
Summers, weakened, and, after having
retired the first man, was found for
six consecutive singles. AS a result,
five runs came over, turning 1t from
apparent. victory into a 10 to defeat.
The figures given are those at which
the Cubs half ended. and, likewise, are
the score OF the game itself.
1t was a bitter blow to the bugs,
who, after having seen the Cubs take
lead that looked safe, early in the
game, had had their hopes raised high
by one of those old time come-from-b be-
hind rushes of the Tiges in seventh
and eighth, when they disposed of two
Of Chances famed fingers, and passed
the opposing forces. 1t looked like one
of those old-fashioned finishes. 1t was.
But the Cubs did the finale.

BLACK FRIDAY TO
Be ELIMINATED
THE SCENES AND ACTS AT THE u
OF M. RUSH WE'RE
DISGRAcEFUL.
THE LIMIT WAS REACHED
The Faculty and Town Authorities
Aroused by the Results, Will Try to
End the Needless Scrap.

The death knell of BLACK Friday
was undoubtedly rang Friday night,
and II was the hand of the aggressive
sophs that pulled the bell rope that
lost to Michigan another of her tradi'
lions. Heads of the different dep.rt-
ments are outspoken i'm their condem-
nation of the rush, and Of the whole
two weeks preliminary hazing that led
up to it. Town and gown authorities
are united for once, on subject that
BLACK Friday" should be abolished.
This year it has been a disgrace to
the university and the state.
The sophs. up to Friday night, had
had things their own way and the
freshie had shown disposition to
turn the other cheek" The tide OF
battle turned and the sophs were
beaten and incensed at the creased
pole, and at their own defeat, they
threw prudence TO the winds and went
into the fray, after the fight at the
pole was over, showing a most unfor.
tunate spirit of aggressiveness. At
one time, when the fight on State
street was fiercest, there were four
apparently dead men stretched on the
floor at Quarry's drug store. They were
revived and sent home. One freshman
who refused to give his name, suffered
broken rib, and blood flowed freely
from his nose, mouth and ears. An
other was rendered unconscious, then
he was dumped into the tank and re-
vived with difficulty.
The citizens of Ann Arbor are de-
termined that a stop shall be put 10
this tradition of the u. of NJ. The
heads of the departments on the cam
pus are equally determined. Unlike
other years, the after rushes were con.
fined entirely TO the vicinity of the
campus, the students showing no dis
position TO so down town or near the
Jail
The chief incident that awakened
general ire was the hazing admins
tered TO two freshmen by a crowd OF
80 or 40 second-year men. The young
sters were caught on the campus
stripped of all their clothes save shoes
and stockings, and made to run a
gantlet of hundreds of spectators
many Of whom were women and chill
dren. Though they protested against
the mistreatment, the captives were
forced TO do the bidding of the haZers
who were satisfied with such fun as
making freshmen climb trees, enamel.

ducking the newcomers in the tank

Recount Cost $4,000.

1t is estimated that the recount de-

expense was in bringing l60 election

brought from the lower peninsula and

facing Mr.. Clement seems to have
been enough tor the purposes of the
letter writer.
Logically, of course, if there was
any facing" as Stanton favored the
bill and Clement opposed it, Clement
faced" Stanton and its other sup
porters, Clement's part being defensive
rather than offensive. If the act was
in any sense an example of heroism,
then the credit for heroic accomplish
ment rather belongs to Clement than to
Stanton. That is, SO far as eX-Gov.
Barstow treats the case.
That Mr.. Clements name should be
brought into the present contest, even
through the medium above noted, is a
peculiar strategic movement. But any
attempt to trade upon the prejudice
that may still exist among Vermont
republicans against the Hon. ?. ".
Clement, cannot be looked upon other
wise than as illtlmed and not directed
toward the complete party harmony
that should characterize presidential
election year. Mr.. Clement is not 6
factor in this years campaigning but
his friends are still numerous and they
properly may take exception to the
laudation of Stanton as having faced
Mr.. Clement. If that assertion be-
comes responsible for some measure OF
detection on the part of Clement sym
patElizers from possible support Of
Stanton's candidacy, it will not be
surprising.
In this connection it is pleasing t.
note that Lieutenant-Go Prouty
in his campaign for the governorshi1
nomination is making no appeal to an!
prejudice within the party that has be
come history and which should be al
lowed to remain unmolested history il
this presidential year. A united, pro
gressive and aggressive republicanisn
is what he stands for and what he is
part of and whoever others have
faced" he faces directly ahead AM
invites every element of the party t.
look with him in that same direction.

Indeed it is heavy disappointment

If there is anything under the sun
that is disgusting to the average Amer
lean citizen it is to see man 1--WE are
tempted to call him something else)
staggering drunk while wearing the
uniform of a United States soldier.
lit is indeed disgusting to see anyone
drunk, but when man enlisted into
the army of the United States, wearing
a uniform which is, or at least should
be, a symbol of our protection and
pride, gets into a street car by the
combined aid of the motorman and con-
ductor and is assisted off in the same
manner, because he is drunk, plain
drunk, it is indeed revolving. This
lis common sight near army posts and
one that is to be deeply deplored. The
Monitor cannot find words to express
ITS feeling on this subject but would
like to see some kind of national law
that would disqualify an officer or pri
vate from serving in the army, who is
fonnd drunk while wearing the uniform
of United States soldier. It Woult
at least add dignity to the army Gf no
to the individual drunk if every sol
der was obliged to wear civilian
clothes when starting out on leav
of absence and nights carousal
There is food for thought in this con
Ciition.
