tin College camp yesterday afternoon
but Oapt. Gillespie and his bunch
of youngsters ’could not stand the
bombarding of the Gainesville base-
ball team and dropped a mighty
pretty game to the visitors by the
score of 3 to 1. In fact, it was one
of the most beautifully played
contests seen this season at the Ath -
letic Park and for four Innings It
looked as though the cannonading
powers of each team was about
equal for up to that time not a hit
had been registered nor an error
given to any of the players.

„„o_____ _______ It is charged by
the* federal officers that Wheeler,
who was formerly the treasurer of
the rubber company, and his associ-
ate, in selling the stock of the cor-
poration, used the nfails to circulate
information concerning the condi-
tion and prospects of the rubber
company, which they must have
known to be misleading and deceiv-

Among other things it is claimed
by the government, the promoters
of the company In their efforts to]
attract purchasers of the stock, had
made the statement that there was
a profit of 150 per cent on evetr
pound oCrubber turned out by the
company’s factory In Hyde Park.
This statement, the federal officers
say. was not supported by the facts
in the case, and constituted a fraud-

ter of fact, the government officials
assert, the price which the company
