TEAM HAS CHANCE
Kennedy Has Show for the Pennant
If Team Can Continue Its Winning
Gait - Players Not in Best Of Con-
dition = Forney in Hospital.

Kennedy's team has a chance for
the pennant. While it is scarcely an
even wager that the team will finish
first, still there is a chance, the odds
having greatly lessened during the past
week. Yesterdays play helped, rather
than hindered, the team. keokuk won
from Jacksonville, and pushed the lat
ter team still another notch farther
from third place, and Burlington could
do no more than break even with
Quincy, thus remaining stationary in
second place.
The teams chances for the honor of
winning depend very largely on the
number of games Kennedy and his men
are able to take on the present long
series away from home Should it keep
up its record of winning more than
half, which it has done both times
heretofore away from home, its chances
are still farther increased. 1t will have
this advantage, that it plays the last
eighteen games on its own grounds,
which is a decided advantage. altho adj
mittedly the team has not taken adj
vantage of it so far this season except
during the recent Oskaloosa series.
The team is not in the best of con-
dition for a squirt to the close of the
season. Forney is in st. Thomas hos
pital, where he was taken Wednesday

1t may be two weeks before he will be
able to play again. King, Foster and
Misse are all suffering with sprains of
muscles of the legs.
Richard Fay, the outfielder secured
from Louisville, KY, arrived in the city
Thursday night and departed with the
team to Oskaloosa this morning.

Qualifying Rounds at Country Club
Being Played Today.
The qualifying rounds, Of what
promises to be one of the best local
golf tournaments every played on the
Country club course were begun late
this morning, and were being contin-
ued turnout the day. Only COM
paratively few OF those who entered
started on the qualifying rounds this
morning, but this afternoon the course
was alive with golfers.
None of those who started this NOR
ming had turned in their cards for the
eighteen holes up to noon. 1t is ex-
pected that thirty-five or forty will
enter. There are twenty-four to
qualify in the three matches, and the
pairings for the first round of each
will be made late this afternoon or
this evening.
The playing of the first rounds will
begin Saturday. probably in the after
noon, and as each match consists of
but nine holes it is likely that all of
the rounds will be played off by to-
morrow evening. The second rounds
will be played as rapidly as the indi-
vidual players can arrange to meet,
altho it will probably be the middle Of
next week before the finals are reached.
