mediately noted that article 70 was
missing from the articles, as furnish

ton was made by the sport writer's
that this missing clause contained a
secret agreement to split the entire

FAST PLAYERS SIGNED
When interviewed by Gate City Re
porter Last Night he Gave
Out Names Of New Men
to Come.

Manager Frank Belt promises to
give Keokuk baseball team next
season that will far surpass the ef-
forts of last years ball club and to
this end he is working until late

ing close touch with ball players
throughout the country. Already he
has signed number of men and
when interviewed by Gate City man
at his home last night was able to
report that several new men had
signed contracts, and that affairs
were progressing in a very enconrag-
ing manner. Among the players sign
ed are the following:
W. B. Wentz, of Anna, Ohio. a
third baseman, who comes recon-
mended by Clinton Prough, last years
pitcher. Prough states that Wentz
is fast man and has beel playing
/, league ball in Indiana. although not
in a league living under the national
agreement Wentz has forwarded his
contract.

pitched Against Big Leaguers.
Eugene Broadwell, of Patriot, In
diana, is pitcher who is expected
to burn UP the league. Manager Belt
can be highly congratulated in secur-
ing this man. He pitched a four hit
exhibition game against Cincinnati
last season and gained considerable
press notice as result of this
achievement.
Floyd Alexander, of Lancaster, NO.

A Poor Way to Get Them

Health and experience are two
things that never do people much
good when they are taken by proxy.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-12-05

ters. According to the Galesburg
Evening Mail, Manager Hough will
not resort to trying to fl up holes
from the brushes, put will secure
men of recognized ability, the same
as he did while getting together his
Hannibal team. 1t is argued that in
this way he will save a great deal OF
troN wedding out. No money is to
be slsi, 4 in giving Galesburg club
of first division calibre.
Quincy Without Manager.
Quincy is still without manager
and the Gems are the only ones who
have no leader as yet. 1t is thought
that Harry Hofer will make no mis-
takes in picking leader for his club
and in thus delaying matters until
the right man is presented. He has
a strong nucleus to work around and
unless the dope goes wrong as it did
last season, he will be up in the run
ming with his club. Quincy needs a
strong team this season or baseball
will receive hard blow.
Burlington Unknown.
Burlington will be one of the I'M
known quantities of the league until
Manager Geier gives out the list of
players whom he expects to have re
port. AS Manager Egan takes the
pick of last seasons Burlington team
with him to Ottumwa it is expected
that Geier will have an aggregation
composed almost entirely of strangers
in this league and what is to be ex-
pected of them cannot be said at
the present time. He may bring a
strong team, and then again he may
prove a repetition of Manager Hugh
shannon of Ottumwa, who came from
the east at the beginning of the
season laden with stars Of the leagues
there.

The Boiler Makers will have as
their leader wild Bill" Connors
once more, he having been signed by
the directors a short time ago. Con
nors will have to strengthen up with
new players a great deal. While he
did not sell any of his players last
season some of his best men We're
drafted by class A and B leagues and
their vacancies will have to be filled.

Hannibal Will Spend.

With the same baseball men push
ing the game in Hannibal during the
coming season it is not hard to guess
what will be the plan of campaign.
They are not the kind who care to see
their manager develop players, but
would rather that he sign men who
have played ball before and have
made regulations in minor leagues
A good deal of money will be ex
pended to give the Cans a winning
club.

Ottumwa Looks Good.

ottumwa looms up as strong
team five months before the opening
of the season and it looks as if the
Packers will have the first good
team in several years. Since the first
two years Of the league Ottumwa has
not seen very good ball played by the
home club, and the fans would great
ly appreciate a burst of championship
ball for season at least. Manager
F,gan takes to Ottumwa sona of the
best material in the Central Associa-
ton.

Manager Frank Belt
Assures Great Team

er Keokuk outfelder is better ball
player than Reichle ever was. This
is putting it quito strong, but Belt
believes that he has picked up gold
mine in the new player. He halls
from Tindale, South Dakota.
He has also in mind several short
stops, more outfelders and several
catchers, but as the men have not yet
signed contracts their names are not
for publication. Belt will have a
strong nucleus to build about and a
strong team is assured.
