KEEPS UP FIGHT
Action of President Holland in
Litigations Shows Lack of
Desire for Peace.
DUBUQUE OUT OR DIsBAhD
Seems to Be Aim in ProIongine Con-
test-Answer, Motion, and At
fidavits Submitted.

President Holland of the Three-Eye
league, judging from the papers filed
IL the circuit court here yesterday, in
he injunction suit of the Dubuque
Citizens Baseball association, is deter
mined either TO disrupt the league or
force Dubuque out, rather than make
he best of the situation and take pro-
league and of baseball.
The steps taken in the court yester-
lay indicate an intention to prolong
the litigation here, and even should
he contentious of Holland be sustain
ID by the court. this can not be done
within several months. and the result
will not help matters much, should the
league win or lose its case.
Files An Answer.
President Holland filed a lengthy
answer to the injunction bill, and like
answers were filed by James T. Hayes,
vice president; Herbert Miller secre-
tary to the president and the clubs OF
Springfield. Decatur, Bloomington, Peo-
ria, Cedar Rapids, and Clinton. The
answer of the Rock Island association
was filed separately, and is a mere
general denial OF the allegations of
the bill.
President Holland backs up his con-
tentiOns by filing affidavits of Presi-
dent Behring of Decatur and by his
secretary. Herbert Miller. and Charles
l.. Miller, president of the Blooming
ton club.
Change in Clubs.
President Hollands answer sets up
several new phases of the case. He
makes a strong point of the fact tina,
the Dubuque club was nc; incorpora-
ted, and that the Dubuque Baseball
club, which began the season, closed
up its affairs in July, and that the Du
buque Citizens Baseball association
then took over the team. He claims
that the association has no rights
whatever, as the league had not con
ferred them to the later club.
He also claims the action of the Pc
Oria tEheeting did not make the failure
10 reach the required number of ad
missions the main reason for oUstine
Dubuque, but that the resolution was
in accordance with the provision of
the constitution which permits of dis
continuing a franchise when for bus
mess reasons such membership shall
no longer be desirable

heroine, is at once motherly in her
love for her two younger brothers
whom her dying father confided to her
care and she is sweet. girlish or
wOmanly as the moment requires in
the scenes with her lover and the man
who is trying to usurp her love: and
she is heroic in her defiance of con-
Vention and determination TO do what
conscience dictates is right, regardless
of what may be thought or said. The
