BELLE SPRINGS TEAM WOULD
ORGANIZE CITY BALL LEAGUE

The Belle Springs baseball team
is undaunted by its defeat at the
hands of the Browns and have
challenged them to future contests.
L. o. Chrissman, captain of the
"buttermilk boys" is also agitatins
the organization of a city league
with teams from the Security and
Abilene mills, the railroad employees,
the grocery clerks, and the like.
No league of the Sunday school
teams is under way and now would
be an ideal time for such a league
to be organized. This could be done
without any conflict on the part OF
players.

UNCLE, WHO Is JOKESTER,
HAS FUN WITH GRADUATE

One member of the graduating
class of the Abilene high school has
an uncle who is a jokster and fond
of fun. This morning this senior re-
ceived letter from this uncle and
enclosed was an deliberately written
bank check. The first impression
was that 1t was for neat little sum
but when scrutinized it proved to
be for sc. The five was prefixed
with many ciphers. Accompanying
1t was a letter of greeting and con-
graduation, written in a light and
Joking manner. But later the uncle
met the nephew on the street and
slipped him "a five spot" and a
good laugh was enjoyed all around
William Goodel and t. M. Jones
were the principals.

AUTO sMAsHEs IN SHOP FRONT
Four Boys from Hope in Early
Morning Escapade
[From Thursday,s Daily J


After bending the radius rod on
the front axle when the automobile
went into ditch at Sand Springs
at 1870 this morning, Roy Griffin,
Fox Andrews and two other Griffin
boys of Hope, came on to town with
the damaged axle and coming on
the pavement they thought that
they could speed up slightly. A half
hour later residents on West Third
we're aroused from their slumbers
by a loud crash. This car had de-
scribed a semi circle and going over
the curbing crashed into the front
of Frank Pennington's carpenter
shop. The steering apparatus had
failed completely.
A portion of the front of the
building was caved in and damage
to the extent of $40 was done, in
Guiding broken glass doors and
panels. Roy Griffin made arrange
ments this morning to reimburse j.
T. Prendergast the owner of the
building, for the damage and now
the car is in a garage being re-
paired. The boys were returning
home to Hope from Solomon.

HAMILTON, Ill, Aug. 12.-The d.
rectors OF the Hamilton chautauqua
are securing signatures for tickets
for the 1917 assembly and have set
the goal at 500. Yesterday some two
hundred had signed up for next sea-
sons tickets. The management have
during the past twelve years con-
Quoted an independent chautauqua,
that is, they have chosen their own
talent rather than go into circuit
which usually sends at least some
talent OF Indifferent merits. There
are so few towns able to conduct an
independent chautauqua because OF
the cost, that it Is planned next year
to enter a sort of cooperative ar
rangement with some of the largest
assemblies in Illinois and thereby be
able to secure first class talent, with
out financial loss. To do this it is
necessary to have the sale of 500
tickets pledged and the management
is working very hard these last few
days to reach that mark. The Han
cock county people form a very dis
eliminating audience and only the
best talent satisfies them.
The prelude yesterday afternoon
was given by the Metropolitan male
quartette and was up to the stand
ard of excellence they had set the
previous day. The lecture of the aft
ernoon was by John H. Gross, whose
subject was The Strength OF Men.
