Rock Island, March 13.-Editor of
THE ARGUS: Referring to the state
ment in Friday evenings ARGUS that
Mrs. Abbie Gould, of Moline, was an
ardent advocate of Christian Science
and Spirtualism, the Christian Scien-
fists of Rock Island beg leave to differ
therefrom rs far as Christian Science
is concerned. for the lady is not so
identified. 1t is understood that she is
a SPiritualist. 1t is impossible for any
one intelligently to support both
Christian Science and Spiritualism,
for they are Numerically opposed to
each other.

over the Renas in a spirited basket

was 6 to 4. The contest was witnessed
by 800 people. The teams lined up as
follows: Emanons-Gertrude Don.
(captain) center; Adah Durham and
Fay Warren, forwards; Mile Dodge
and Nellie Folsom, guards. Renas-
Amy Henderson, (captain) center;
Bessie cleveland and Lunda Nelson.
forwards; Gotta Bartholomew and
Anna Nelson, guards. The Emanon
girls are much elated over the result.
not alone because they were the win
ners, but because they were success
full under circumstances that were
anything but to their advantage.
They say they never had played at the
gymnasium before, and on account of
the location of the baskets it made it
particularly difficult for them to
score. The teams are to meet again,
the Renas having accepted an invita-
ton to try conclusions with the Ema-
mons at the roller rink.
Another defeat was administered
Saturday to the Augustana Tigers by
the Little Five basketball team. The
game was played at the college gym
nasium. The score was IS to 5. The
