Kelly and Sullivan to Fight June Z.
Today at Iowa City more than 200
young men of the high schools Of the
state were striving for state and school
honors on the track and field in the
annual high school meeting. A score
OF the largest high schools of Iowa
were in competition. represented by the
very cream OF their best boyhood. Per-
haps one Of the most likely claimants
for the state honor Is Ida Grove, which
last year won first place. The Des
Moines schools, however, and especially
the West High, is factor to be reck-
oned with. Among the other teams
that are candidates for the first place
are Ottumwa, East and North High
Des Moines, and Sioux City. The pre-
liniinaries We're run off this morning,
and the events of the meeting were
commenced early this afternoon.
Egan, Manager Egan, is the first In
the Iowa State league this season to
gain notoriety by attacking an UNI
pire on the base ball field. For AZ
player to lose control Of himself and
attempt to beat up" an umpire is bad
enough, but for q manager and a leader
Of a team to go on the war paths for
the OFFICIALS scalp lis disgracetul
Egan,g perhaps, had q grievance, but
that neither excuses nor condones the
offense. 1t is said Bush fined him. Had
he given the Burlington manager 500,
and kept him Off the field until he
paid 1t, he would not have been Inn
posing too severe a penalty. The Iowa
league has had in seasons past too
many would be umpire punchers"
who, have disgraced themselves, the
city they represented and their team
mates by such performances. The min
imum Of penalty for such breach OF
discipline should never be less than
the maximum established by the by
laws Of the league.
Where is Burlington now with Its
boast of. .sthe one only and the best
base ball town in all the league" But
recently little Jacksonville, scarcely
half the Size of Burlington, turned out,
2, 100 people. to see a game, which
makes Burlingtons brag Of its opening
day, 1,sOO,s look small in comparison.
Burlington must either amend It's
boastful assertion to conform with the !,
facts or better still less Boosting
would be more pleasing to the league.

wednesday, May Is, and all over the
state fishermen thrashed the waters OF
streams, lakes and creeks in search or
the finny tribe. From all reports, the
catch was not a large one. In many
places the sport was enjoyed in a snow
storm. f5
Fishernen along the Iowa river, es-;

NAV expect better sport since the state
Ash commissioner last summer dumped
into the stream several thousand small
Ash, which If not large enough for
sport this year, will be of sufficient size
next summer.
