Fleming Will Not Play.

'S'''t'S vv'il lNSh ray.
q. E. Fleming manager of the OF
tumwa team part of last season, will
probably not play ball during the COM
ing year He has asked for his re-
lease with a view of securing posi-
ton as umpire. 1t is not at all likely
that he will be located in the Central
Association
President NJ E. Justice stated today
that he expected to soon be able to
announce his complete staff of UNI
pires for the coming season. He has
sent contracts to them, but has not
yet received a return of them signed.
Waterloo Reporter: Waterloo is in
terested in baseball and is going to
put a team in the field capable of land
ing the third pennant. We don't care
much for the shallow glory that at
taches to the rag, but it is a pleasure
to hear the wall that goes up from the
disgruntled. Every one of them will
be baldheaded if they don't stop tear
ing their hair out by the roots over
Waterloo And by the way, Waterloo
is not a bit jealous and would be
pleased to see any other city in the
league win--if they have the team to
do it.
Macomb Journal: Jap Wagner has
already assumed active charge of the
GalesEurg baseball club and is scout
ing for 09 players. Jap has reputa-
ton of man who knows where the
best players hang out, and for that
reason is valuable man. The direc-
tors Of the destinies of the Potters
have received letter from jap ask
ing for trade for Oscar Denny, the
little shortsop who caused the FANS
of this city to feel many thrills of JOY
by his sensational fielding stunts and
pinch hitting, and a corresponding
sinking of the hearts of the other
teams. Jap wants 10 give Sappington.
the Hornet shortstop, in exchange.
Sap" is no doubt a good man, but
cannot compare with our Dirty
Faced Denny.
Several directors nave Deen asheu
concerning their opinions as to the
trade, and all express the opinion
that Denny should be kept in Pot
ter berth Denny is hard worker
and has broken up several games by
the great fielding and pinch hitting.
Denny has many friends here who
would regret seeing him in any uni
form except that of the Potters.

Dead at Messina $4,000.

The captain Of the Italian
ship Washington arrived at
Palermo from Messina and
said he entered the strait of
Messina as the first shock oc-
cured and said: "I'he ship
quivered as though she lost a
screw. The fog Immediately
enveloped the vessel. We
continued to Messina and be-
gan to see floating wrecks of
ships, houses and furniture
washed from the city and es-
capped a collision with Difficult
ty. Soon many of the boats
still manned approached beg
ging help. We touched the city
only a short time and the town
appeared swept away. Near
G.zziri the mayor met us in a
boat and said thousands were
killed, and five hundreds
hurt
a dispatch received this
evening from the minister of
marines estimated the dead at
Messina at fifty thousand.

The Base Ball Association Would
Rather Celebrate With
Base Ball Game on
That Date.
THAN ONE ON LABOR DAY
Fav0rs the Short sche,' ule of 1876
Games According to speci-
fications Received by
Justice.

President M. E. Justice of the Cen
tral Association has received speci-
fications from all of the clubs of the
league regarding the schedule, and
heokuk is included in the list. The
schedule specifications from Keokuk
are sent in by Louis Sterne.
keokuk favors the short schedule.
which means the proposed limit of
l26 games during the season. Also
that this city is given two holidays,
Labor Day and Fourth of July, but if
this cannot be done the local associa-
ton would prefer the Fourth of July
date
Quincy seems to favor the long
schedule of 14O games and Keokuk
also thought well of this. but as this
seems very unlikely Keokuk has fav-
ored the 12G game proposition ahead
of the 129 game schedule. The league
season would hardly be as profitable
IL the game was continued after La
Dor Day for any length Of time. with
the possible exception CT in Quincy.
In that city the receipts might be
such as to support the team but it is
very likely that the receipts would
take disastrous slump in the other
towns
