Messrs. w. F. and Frank Woods of
Chester, and r. A. Woods of Nor
folk, Va, and two sisters, Miss Mat
tie of Union, and Miss Bessie Woods
of Chester.
Her remains were inferred in the
Beulah cemetery, of which church
she was member the funeral
services were conducted by Rev. w.

sive, and were made more so by the
four hymns of her own selection.

W|RESFRANKC CHANCE
Former Cub Leader Refuses to
Leave Home for Conference.
WANTS DETAILS OF OFFER
Wire Makes No Mention of Salary
New York Club Proposes
to Pay.

LOS ANGELES, December 14-F'rank
Chance received a telegram today from
President Frank P. Farrell of the New
York Americans asking him to come to
New York at once to talk over the man
asership of the Highlanders. Chance
said he could not leave his orange ranch
at Glendora for time and wired to Far
rell asking that more details be sent re-
garding his proposition and more time
before starting east.
Chance said there was no mention Of a
$4,000 salary in Farrells message and
added that he would not go to New York
unless a worthwhile wage were given
him. FaTrells telegram today was the
first official notice the peerless leader
had of the proposal to make him man
ager of the team.
Press reports printed here have made
1t appear that Farrell had offered Chance
s2D.O0o. but the telegram received today,
the first official notice Chance has re-
ce1ved which would indicate that Farrell
wants chance, said nothing about sal
ary-a fact which seemed to be "a dis
appointment to the former Cub manager
1t seems assured that unless Chance
gets the kind of contract he wants he
VIII not return to the east to handle any
bail CLUB. Chance Is wealthy and has a
good paying business here in his orange
groves. Nothing but big figure will
lure him from this section of the coun-
try, and the chances are that the New
York club will be able to come to some
understa nding with him more easily if an
emissary is sent here with power to act
and the New York club is entirely will
ing to meet his demands.

VIRGINIA MAY Go
TO PLAY PRINCETON
Will Have to Take Trip to
TigertoWn, Though, to
Secure Game.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. December
4--Whether Virginia meets Princeton in
foot ball in 1913 now depends altogether
on the action which the board of faculty
athletic advisers take on the case. Viz
sinia has written to the Tigers as con-
Germs date for the coming season, and
the latter have agreed upon the date,
but only on condition that the game takes
place at Princeton. The original plan,
and that advanced by Virginia when
making its proffer, was to have the
contest staged in Washington. where an
overflow crowd would be sure to greet
the teams. Princeton has an exceedingly
strong following in the District. while the
standing of the southern institution has
been proved on many occasions. How
ever. the Tiger management has eX-
pressed its inability to meet Virginia in
Washington, but would welcome the lat
ter moye than gladly in TiSerland.
