PASSING BIG HITTERS
NOT FAIR TO THE FANS

One OF the reforms sure to
come with the evolution OF the
national game is the adoption
Of a rule prohibiting the DELHI
crate passing of star batter
to get at man supposed to be
weak at the hitting game. Pur-
posely allowing a $50 batter to
walk to first is baseball strate-
gy all right, but 1t smacks Of
cowardice that has no place in
the most popular sport In all
the world.
So many concessions have,
been made to the pitchers end
of the game that the fans would
rise up en- masse in joyful ap-
citation of a little consideration
of the batter's side of the ques-
ton.
Men like Lajoie, Wagner,
Cobb, Crawford and other slug
gers are paid princely salaries
for their batting ability. The
fans who pay their good money
at the gate to see batting"
have a right to demand that
their favorites be given a
chance to hit the ball.
1t has been suggested that
when the umpire is satisfied
that a batter has been deliber-
ately walked" he shall allow
all men on the bases to adj
vance. Such a rule ought to
break up the practice right
speedily.
The average fan would surely
appreciate a rule that would
give every player with a repu-
tation for killing the ball a fair
and square chance to hit it out.

CASE AGAINST
YOUNKER DISMISSED
Late This Afternoon Case of Hugh
Russell VS.. Samuel Younker
Was Dismissed.

Late this afternoon the case of Hugh
Russell assignee of Annie Russell vs..
Samuel YounlSer pending in the dis
trict court, was dismissed without pref
udice
The dismissal came orally from At
torneys Hughes and McCoid, who rep
resented the plaintiff. The deposition
of Annie Russell, who at tae present
time is supposed to be in Chicago,
would have been at issue Saturday.
The case is quite familiar to Keokuk
people, although the past term of the
district court failed to bring out any
sensational features and there was
simple litigation concerning the depo.
sition of Annie Russell. which was to
have been taken according to tae de
PENDANTS rights. The suit was an &C.
ton instituted to secure damages in
the sum of $4,000 by Hugh Russell
father of Annie Russell
The suit was filei, short time pre-.
vious to the opening of the recent
term of court.

GOVERNMENT TROOPS
WERE DEFEATED
Nicaragua Revolution Was Well Plan

Were Killed.

COLON, Oct. ia dispatch re-
ceived here by wireless telegraphy
from Bluefelds, Nicaragua, says Gen
eral Chamorro, rebel leader, march
ed on Greyton and attacked and de-
feated the government troops, nine
teen being killed. General Juan Els
trada is reported to be marching on
Cape Gracias, where 1000 government
troops have been concentrated to OPP

the revolution appears to have been

coasts. Corinto, the principal seaport
on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, is
in the hands of the reyolutionists.
Juan Estrada, who. with General
Chamoro, organized the uprising, is
one of three brothers whom Presi-
dent Zelaya has always regarded as
his staunchest political friends. There
are conflicting reports regarding the
origin of the trouble, the message
states. One report is that it was due
to a rumor that Zelaya intended to de
pose Estrada from his Office in the
army. Another version is that Zelaya
secretly ilstigated the trouble, hoping

COL Hepburn is Also Spoken of as
Possible Commissioners of
Pensions

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.-It
Commissioner of Pensions Warner car
ries out his plan to resign the post it
is likely that one of two prominent
Iowa old soldiers will be his successor
in the Office. Both Major j. f. Lacey
and Col Pete Hepburn are being men
toned for the place. Both men stand
high in public estimation as old sold
iers and as servants in public Office
Both men were turned out of office by
the insurgent Republicans in Iowa
joining with the Democrats in voting
for their party opponents. Democrats
being elected over them in normally
strong Republican districts 1t was
known then that neither of the old
party leaders would be likely to re-
main out of public service long and the
opening of the commissioning of pen
sions will undoubtedly furnish a
place for one of them to return to pub.
lie life. The belief is that the choice
will fall upon Major Lacey, as Colonel
Hepburn has announced that he does
not intend to re-enter public life, but
will busy himself with writing some
books on public service, based Gu his
long experience in Washington.

RAILWAY MEN
VISIT THE WEST
w. c. Brown, VIM. X. Vanderbilt and
w. H. Newman Report Business
as Being Excellent.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-Any doubt
that might have existed as to the con-
dition of business in the United States,
at least so far as is indicated by rail
road experience was permanently laid
to rest by William c. Brown of the
New York Central lines, WAC, with
William K Vanderbilt and w. H. New
man, the retired president of the sys-
tenn, paid a hasty visit to Chicago.
Business is excellent on the New
York Central said Mr.. Brown, land
the road is moving heavier volume
of traffic than it ever before has ex-
perienced, exceeding even the records
Of 1907 Mr.. Brown denied rumors
which have been current recently to
the effect that the New York Central
lines soon would reduce their time to
New York and Philadelphia by the
! operation of passenger trains over
the new Franklin and Clearfield
b.anch. "The project of running
through passenger trains over this line
has never been considered said Mr.,
Brown, "and to my mind it is doubtful
if such action would be wise Ru-
mors that the Big Four's offices are to
be moved to Chicago were denied by
the railroad president He also stated
that to his knowledge the railroads
have taken no further action in the
matter of making a general 10 per
cent increase in freight rates.

reduced country shipments to some

bring out renewed offerings. There
remains much old corn to be market

available. The government report
should show a larger yield in later fig

show improved conditions materially

Illinois School Will Send Her Foot
Ball Team Here For Game
on Tomorrow After
noon.
THE LOCALS LINEUP
Practically No Changes viii be Made
In the Personnel Of the Team
Expenses Are
Heavy.

With Jacksonville coming tomorrow
for contest with the High school
boys on the local gridiron, all is ex-
element around the local foot ball
quarters as the game promises to be
one of the most holly contested
matches in recent years. The enemy
approaches with one game, their first
one. to their credit, having beaten a
large Illinois school while the locals
have only nothing to nothing affair
to their credit, having let Quincy re-
turn home with their goal line un-
crossed. The Jacksonville boys will
arrive tomorrow morning at shortly
before noon and will not leave the
city until Sunday morning.
The lineup for the big battle will be
practically the same as last Saturday
with Pease at center, Elder or Bickel
on his right and Gordon or Nichols on
his left Meinhardt and Hayden will
preside at the tackle positions while
Devero and Parsons will hold down
the extremity of the line. At quarter
back will he McManus who should put
up good game with the experience
derived last Saturday. Hawkes. will
be at full back and if he is unable to
hold out he will be replaced by Board,
who although light man plays a
nervy, dashing game, being exceeding
ly fast. King and Duncan will occupy
right and left respectively.
Not much is known of the visitors
strength but they are expected to be
fast and heavy. Up to this afternoon
copy of their lineup had not been re-
ceived and so the personal of their
team can not be published. DR.. Reid
states that he will attempt to have
them sign contract tomorrow prom.
ising to play a game in this city on
Thanksgiving of 1910.
1t costs a great deal of money to
bring team from such a distant
place and as the athletic association
contains practically no surplus funds,
the expense money. will have to
be derived from the gate receipts
and the management is hope
full that there will be large crowd on
hand to witness the battle tomorrow.
