The first matter to receive the at

was accepted and b. n. Tucker was

figures;

worse Saturday, however, and the otlf-

Warner Takes on New Short Stop
and q New QutfiaIdar

The appearance of two new
names in the batting or
der today will be of interest
to local fans" They are Mackey. at
short, and Wilson, in right field. But
little is known of these men here ex-
cepting that Warner signed them after
reaching Keokuk. Mackey is conceded
to be fast. He is the Mackey who
played short under Warner last year
with the Sioux Falls "Canaries." Ha
fielded close to SEQ and is said to be
fair with the stick, a great ground
coverer and q fast man on the bases.
Wilson, the right fielder. played here
in center field with the Hopkins Bros.
team of Des Moines. He played an ex-
cellent field here, and Is a good hitter.
1t is believed Warner has secured two
fast men. While it is not known, it
is presumed johnson has either been
released or is sick, probably the for
mer. Mackey is from Chicago, and
Wilson's home is in Des Moines.
