MILLS MAKES HOME RUN
Error in Ninth, Combined With
Barrage of Hits, Sews up
Game for Visitors.
(By Joe Russell)
Displaying a complete reversal of*
form from that which has made
them an easy prey to five Western
Conference baseball teams, Purdue
gave the advance dope a mighty
kick yesterday afternoon at Ferry
fleld when the invaders let Coach
Fisher's Varsity nine down with at
5-1 defeat.
The Boilermakers showed a
smooth working infield which play-
ed errorless ball throughout nine
close inni gs combined with a fac-
ulty of collecting base blows when
they meant runs, which proved to
be too much for a struggling band
of Wolverines. Until the first half
of the ninth inning the game look-
ed to be a toss-up, but in their last
turn at bat the invading club climb-
ed on Kiegler for three hits and as
many runs to sew up the game.
Kiegler Retires 17 Straight.
Up to this time Kiegler had had
the Boilermakers under good con-
trol, having retired seventeen
straight -men, but with two out in
the ninth the Purdue "murderers
row of Mills, Caraway, VanBibber,
and Harmeson started a barrage of,
hits, which combined with Myron's
wild throw to first, netted three
counters. Mills started the parade!
when he went to first on a scratch
and was advanced to third on Ca_
raway's single. Caraway stole sec-
ond on the next pitched ball, and
then VanBibber laced out his first
hit of the day, a double which
scored both Mills and Caraway.
VanBibber came in on Myron's er-
ror.
Mills, who played the best game
of the afternoon for either team,
poled out the only hit of the day
which was good' for more than two
bases when he caught one of Holtz-
man's deliveries in the fourth inn-
ing for a circuit clout. At this time
Coach Fisher sent Kiegler to the
box, and until the ninth the Wol-,
verine allowed only one man to
reach first base, Caraway getting a
walk in the fourth..
Michigan Scores in Seventh.
The lone Michigan counter was
gathered into the fold innthe last
half of the seventh inning after
Kiegler had singled and advanced
to second when Langen, batting for
Butler, walked. Superko, Mchiganj
third baseman, then crashed
through with a single which
brought Kiegler racing across the
plate.
Both teams showed well on the
field yesterday, Purdue playing
without an error and Michigan ac-
counting for only one misplay.
Many of the chances which the
players accepted were of the vari-
ety which might easily be called
hits. The Wolverine infield showed
signs of brilliance when they work-
ed two double plays, one in the
first when Tompkins caught Mill's
sacrifice fly and tossed the ball to

(By Associated Press)
SHERMAN, Tex., May9.-A mob
today burned down the $60,000
Grayson county court house cre-
mating George Hughes, Negro, af-
ter unsuccessfully attempting to
seize him from officers.
Hughes who had pleaded guilty
to assaulting a white woman died
in a vault in the court house in
which he had been placed for safe-
ty by Texas rangers when the mob
stormed the court house crying for
his life.
Driven back three times by offi-
cers who hurled tear gas bombs
and fought with fists and clubs
but did not shoot into the crowd,
the mob finally set fire to the court
house. An earlier attempt to dyna-
mite the structure had failed.
The body of the Negro, sheriff
Arthur Horn said, remained in the
vault among the ruins of the biuld-
ing. '
Five white youths were injured

Dr. Guy Lincoln Kiefer, health'
commissioner for the state of Mich-
igan and a Michigan graduate, will
be buried at 2 o'clock this afternoon
following funeral services at his
home in Detroit. Dr. Kiefer died on
Thursday after a sudden heart at-
tack which was the result of long
ill-health.
Dr. Kiefer served as head of the
department of health from 1901 to'
1913 in the city of Detroit. Recently,
he was given the position of state
health commissioner by Governor
Fred W. Green who, in an Asso-
ciated Press statement yesterday,
called his death the removal of
"one of the finest and ablest men
I have known in public service."
Dr. Kiefer was graduated from
the University in 1887 with an A. B.
degree; in 1891 an A. M. and and
M. D., and was given an honorary
PhD. in 1911 for his work along the
lines of public health. The Univer-
sity's official representatives at the
funeral today will be Drs. Sundwall,
Bruce W. Parker, and Novy.
