CHICAGO, Feb. l3-[SpecioL l-George Slos-
son has submitted proposition to play the
winner Of the Schaefer-Ives match, provided
he is allowed $3.50 if he loses Schaefer said
tonight the proposition was foolish one;
that Slosson was entitled to nothing and
would get nothing. II Slosson wanted to
play for the championship again he would
have to come to Chicago, paying his own
expenses. Schaefer said he would play him
any time. .-- -.
The championship emblem is Schaeser's

before December next. Ives said tonight
that Slosson's proposition was ridiculous.

CURED BUT CRAZgD.
The Bi-Chloride Remedy Sometimes W orse

Than the Disease.
STEUBENvILLE, Feb. 13-Three weeks ago
Frank Barthold, son of George Barthold, O
wealthy resident of this city, was taken to
the Bi-Chloride of Gold Institute at Marys-
Vile, O. He was cured of any desire for in
toxicants. but as each day passed he became
more bereft of reason and to-day was
brought home and an application granted
for his admission to the Central Insane
Asylum at Columbus.
Physicians here think that the cure was a
failure in that it did not make up for the loss
OF liquor stimulants, and also that LIQUORS
were taken away from him too suddenly
leaving his already broken-down system
wrecked and unable to stand the sudden
loss of stimulants.

Sure to Be Interesting.

These games are sure to be interesting, as
it will give the public chance to see all
the PLAYERS now signed by the local club.
OF course, all these PLAYERS win not be re-
tanned, but thev will be all ordered to re-
port here on April 1. OF course, the pro-
gramme NAV be somewhat altered if any
deal is made whereby any of the players are
released to other clubs.
On April l and , the local team will play
the East End Gyms, and on the eth and 9th
the Milwaukee team will be here. On the
11th and 18th the local team will play at
Columbus. The games with the Gyms and
the Milwaukees are sure to be of interest,
as they will 60 some way toward showing
what our champion amateurs are like, and
also what class the Milwaukee team is
lik, lv to be in.
The clubs colors have definitely been de-
cided upon. The home uniform will be
white with blue trimmings, and the travel
ing suit Will be blue with red trimmings
and white jacket.
A Very Good Idea.
A frst-class gymnasium will also be put
up on the grounds and it will have all kinds
OF gymnastic apparatus All the players
now in the city will commence active train
ing on the grounds tomorrow.
During q conversation Yesterday after
noon Manager Buckenberger said: 'It is the
earnest wish of the club management that
the team be IN as good condition as possible
when the season opens and everything that
can be done will be done by the club to help
the players. The gymnasium will be per
manent so that players at any time during
the wear may go to exercise. We are much
interested in the games we have arranged
between two mines of our own PLAYERS and !
we would like all local patrons of the game
go and judge as to the merits of each player.
The games will be very important ones to
the PLAYERS" i"
