place. Here's hoping the Indians find
an easy seat at the top of the heap
and find 1t comfortable. The way the
teams are going at the present time
some enemy is almost certain to slip
up from the rear and pitch us head
long. The scouts Clave been instructed
to keep watch and not go to sleep on
duty.
Con McDermitt Of Waterloo thinks
it is about time for Belt to retire in
favor of a younger catcher. But PA
knows that his head-work will overbal-
ance any deficiency in the receiving
end of the game.
The Waterloo Reporter says that it's
no fault of Burch that he lost Thurs
days game.
Blue Jacket has not lost a game thus
far during the season. II he keeps
that work up John Hall of Quincy, will
have to give him 1000 at the end of
the season. Blue Jacket is good In
dian with heap much smoke coming
from his tepee.
Carl Busch, of Bloomington, the
German with the big chest meas
urement who blew off lit
tie steam in Keokuk some time
ago, is after match with Bartl,
the Quincy man. 1t would seem ac-
cordng to Busch, that Bartl has evad-
ed the German thus far.
In all probability Goodman, who was
guilty of questionable work in the
match at Quincy Thursday night with
Hennemann of this city will be bar
red from future performances at the
Empire theater. Mr.. Busby stated tiat
he would not permit him to work on
the stage there and that he will have
to seek other places for his matches.
Hennemann should have been given
the decision according to Quincy crit
les and how John Hall failed to see
the many fouls made by Goodman is
hard to understand.
Pettee, who wrestled at Quincy and
was defeated by Bartl, was in Keokuk
yesterday coming up in the evening on
the steamer Keokuk accompanied by
Mack Connolly, who came here on a
business trip. At this place Pattee
boarded a train for st. Paul, where In
two weeks he will wrestle with young
Miller, the man who few years ago
humbled Bartl. II Miller wins he will
again be matched with Bartl.
Jack Johnson has gone to Buffalo
to e'' theatrical engagement and
will then go to Philadelphia to put on

Chicago the big negro was reported to
be in excellent condition.
