ILLINOIS CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS
4, FOR COMING YEAR
10 8 ~-s

Inc Illinois club held an interest
ing meeting Saturday afternoon a,
the City Hall. The meeting was
called to order by the president. Dr.
W. B. Moon.
The most important business was
the election of officers. A motion
was made that the present officers b,
retained, but in the ensuing discus
sion II was pointed out that it has
oeeh the custom and policy of the
ciub TO change all officers each year
except the secretary. The motion
was therefore withdrawn and the
election proceeded with the follow
ing result:
fresident-Rev. Richard Bolton.
Vice President-Mr. Geo. Ham
merstroem.
Secretary-Mrs. William Steitz.
lreasurer-Dr. Grace b. Hanna
Mrs, steitz, upon her re election
TO the Office of secretary. which she
mas held since the founding of the
club, stated that she did not con
sider her retention in office as at all
necessary to the welfare of the club
out thanked the organization for
TINS and other evidences of loyalty to
her as organizer of the club.
Ari sing vntn
the retiring officers and DR.. Moon in
retiring from Office thanked the club
for the honor and the support az
corded him the past year and spoke
a few words of appreciation of the
club as an organization
Rev. Bolton then took charge Of
the meeting.
The first matter brought IN was
the addition of an extra member to
the executive board, it being the
sense of the meeting that this would
divide the responsibility and prevent
the possibility Of tie. Mr.. Edwin
II. Schurman was elected to this of
flee.
The advisability of holding three
Or four social gatherings each year
in addition to the annual reunion
was brought up for discussion and
referred to the executive board.
1t was the feeling of the club
members that they would like to
support some plan to add to the
pleasure OF strangers in the city, and
several plans were brought up for
discussion, but no definite action
was taken.
The meeting then adjourned.
The executive board was called
into session. They decided upon
March 26th as Illinois Day, and Sc
lected the committees to have charge
OF the arrangements. These com
mittees and their plans will be an
nounced later.
Membership in the club is open to
those persons, with their families,
who have formerly resided in iii
nois. but who are now residing or
sojourning in Lakeland or the vicin
ity. and practically all such persons
avail themselves of the privilege of
membership each year.

ATHLETICS PLAY THE COLONIES THIS
AFTERNOON AND AGAIN TOMORROW

the Giants twice and the Cubs once
In the past ten years the Athletics
have been American League cham
pions five times, and have won three
out of five worlds series. In 1905
they lost to the Giants, but that was
in the days when Iron Man" Nc
Ginnity and the peerless Christy
Mathewson were at their best,
"Matty" shutting out the Athletics
no less than three times in that Sc
ries, while McGinnity shut them out
once, himself being the loser in a
whitewash affair Rudolph and
James were the pitchers who beat
them last fall; indeed, the only de .
feats Of consequence ever suffered
by the Athletics in title games have
been by right handlers.
"Wallie" Schang, who is first
catcher Of the Athletics, is here, as
we'll as McAvoy, who also had ex
perience with Baltimore. The Ath
letics got Schang by draft from Buf
falo, and he is one of the few stars
whom Mack did not personally de
velop. Schang also is a left handed
hitter.
Jack McInnes, who plays first base
for the Athletics, is a pronounced
left field hitter, like Miller. of the
Colonies. 1t will be interesting to
watch the shifting of the outfield for
the various batsmen, but of course
this will not be nearly SO marked as
later in the league seasons. 1t is go
ing to require hefty wallop to lift
a ball over the left wall at the fair
grounds, but with Vern, Clemens
and the two above mentioned play
ers in the line up, such a blow is
possible almost any time. The game
was called at $3.50 o'clock.

ROMANCE OF the dTCuc regions
"a has been exploded by Donald
~ B. Macmillan, who among
other things In a letter re-
Gently received by the New York Trib-
une, said:
"Crocker Land, reported seen by
Peary in 1906 and indicated on tie lat
est maps, does not exist l succeeded
In covering the whole distance OF 1 200
miles in seventy-two days. To US,
standing on the heights OF Cape Thorn
as Hubbard, and for several days on
the polar sea, there was every appear
ance OF an immense tract OF land ex-
tending along 40 degrees Of the hori-
zon, hills, valleys and snow capped
peaks"
1t was confidently expected that this
unexplored land Of the arctic had a
real existence, but it now turns out
that the land that Peary thought he
saw was merely a series OF fee banks
or a mirage.
According 10 Admiral Peary's de-
scription, a territory OF vast dimen-
sions lay Of the coast OF Axel Heiberg
Land, separated from it by an arm Of
the arctic ocean. With his description
as their guide, Macmillan and his fol
lowers raced from Etah across the
frozen Smith sound, across the diff
cult reaches Of Ellesmere Land. across
Axel Heiberg Land, and then dash
ed under the light Of the midnight
sun lbs miles out over the foe filed
arctic In a daring effort to be the first
men TO set foot upon the continent
which Peary thought he had seen.
They found no continent Not even
an island broke the dreariness OF the
tumbled icy wastes OF the frozen sea.
Where Peary said the coast OF Croker
Land broke the horizon was nothing
but an expanse OF jagged ice
Rumors OF a great northern CONT
nent have been current since the be-
ginning Of polar exploration. 1t re-
manned for Peary to crystalline them
