Ofense was taken to an item appear

are commanded to retract the state
ment. In that particular article We
stated that we are informed that Mrs.
A. B. Hurst was taking steps to con-
test the will of her father, the late
John Ringland. Now in answer to the
iady's grievance, will say that we
gained the information from her
brother, Mr.. Arthur Ringland, who by
the way is named executor Of John
Ringland's estate, and we believe in
that position he knew the facts of the
matter II we have been misinform-

not misinformed, we have no retrac-

BLOOMINGTON.

The West Grant Chautauqua held
at Bloomington last week closed on
Sunday evening. The chautauqua
was a success, although it was, per
haps, not generally considered the
best one ever held here. Although
the weather was hot, it was pleasant
throughout the week and the roads
were good. The attendance was all
that could be desired, the tent being
well filled at all the sessions. The
largest attendance was Saturday
night when Peg O. My Heart" was
played. It was estimated that about
1900 people were present that night.

Dodger Contract
From a stor Correspondent

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. March g.
Cold weather prevented the Dodgers
from going through their morning
workout at Barr's Field, but this after
noon it was warmer, and Manager
Robbie held long session. After the
athletes were sent through a batting
and fielding drill the squad was divid-
ed into teams and the fifth contest of
the series between the Johnstons and
the Konetchyss was played. The game
went seven frames, and the Koneys
won by count of 4 to O. Ed Honey
did not play on the side named after
him, as he is suffering from cold. His
place at first base was taken by Raw
Schmandt.
Joe Conlon and AL Mamaux were the
pitchers for the Johnstons, and they
were nicked for a total Of eight base
hits. Six of the blows were made off
Mamaux during the last four frames.
MOZART and Mitchell were elected to
pitch for the Koneys, and the pair ap-
peared to be in midseason form. One
hit, single by Leon Cadore, was made
off MOZART during the first three
frames, and Johnston and Smith were
the only Johnstonians to find Mitchell
for safe drives. Smiths hit was a
two bagger.
All Mamaux received poor support
1IoH MS HldteS, WHO maze total or
six errors while the melee lasted. In
the sixth frame two glaring errors put
Al in a hole, but although the Koneys
succeeded in filling the bases with
none out in the session, they failed
to score. Mitchell hit into double
play and Kilduff ended the frame by
sending roller to the pitcher.
The batting of Neis, one Of Uncle
Robbies promising candidates for the
right field post, was IA feature of the
game. He made two singles off Ma
maux's delivery. The youngster carries
himself like Josh Devore and displays
great speed on the pases.
Ed Pfeifer joined mis- mates in the
Workout, but didn't get in the game.
Pfeffer signed contract this morn
ing, and now every member Of. the
Dodgers are in line for the coming
season. The big 1,ght-hander is in

IT this is true and it continues not even the ecnus

hunch howsoever that very few of them will get very

nothing can wreck an individual nation quicker
AS tne Bean enarges, as rule every other capacity
shrinks in proportion.
The Reds have wonderful opportunity this season
to repeat They have proved themselves to be the best

New York University won the bas-

by defeating the City College five at
the 22d Regiment Armory last night
by score of 80 to 81. One of the
largest crowds that ever witnessed a
basketball contest in this city attended.
The Violet five by its decisive victory
stamped itself as one of the best col
lege teams in the East. and deserves a
game from the champion Penn Ave for
the Eastern championship.
The University Heights students
led from the outset. At half-time the
score was 10 to 10 in favor of the
Violet, and at no time was the issue
in doubt. The whole New York team
played we'll, showing brand of team
work that has seldom been equalled
by any five in these parts.
The outstanding stars Of the strug-
gle were Cam and Mooney, although
the other three players on the winning
quintet played we'll. Cam was all over
the floor, and rang in five baskets
from the floor. Mooney kept pace with
his bigger tean.mate. and together
they made a speedy pair that proved
difficult to stop. Ball and Krinsky
played we'll for the losers
The New York University team will

OF the country. The Crescent A. c.,
of Brooklyn, also will compete in this
