"YEAG' STILL GOOD MAN
Veteran Second Baseman and outfieId-
er Can Still Show Many Of
Them the Fine Points
Of the Game.

Charles Yeager, for several years
second baseman in the Central Assoc
citation and considered the best base
runner in the league, has been releas-
ed by Quincy owing to the fact that
Manager Cook has decided to play that
bag himself. While the lame arm of
Yeag" will lose game now and then
he looks like better man than Cook
even at that and the willy old boy has
been known to pull off many stunts
that would win a ball game and has
won many for Quincy. During the
first month of the league season this
year Yeager led them all in stolen
bases, getting fifteen and had he
finished the season with Quincy and
hit well he would probably have set
new record for the league 1t is
rumored that Yeager may manage
Ottumwa. The Quincy Journal says:
Quincy fans win learn with regret
that Charles Yeagel has been handed
his release, and is now a free agent.
Although the move is not unexpected,
1t was thought that he might pick up
in his work and still be carried on the
local team, but the Improvement
failed to show and Charley. having
been sick for the past few days, was
glad to accept his release last even
ing, when he Immediately departed
for his home in Keokuk, where he will
rest up before he determines the
course he is to pursue.

handles by which he Is Familiarity
known, will be missed by the fans
about the circuit as well as by the
Quincy fans. In recent yeais his
playing has been all that could have
been desired, and his heady playing
has won many game for the Quincy
team. It has been stated that there
is no other player In the league who
has anything on him in the finer
points OF the game. and they ears Of
experience he has had on the diamond
account for his thickness. Quincy
fans will long remember him for what
he has done in the past, and "Yeag'
has the best wishes OF the fans in any
undertaking he chooses to follow. The
old warrior has been on the bench for
some time, his place at second being
filled by Capt. Cook, who at the pres
ent time is playing the game OF his
life and directing the team from that
position. With Cook playing such a
game 1t was impossible to find a
place at second for the old warrior,
and accordingly "Yeag" was placed
on the bench. II he could have play
ed any other position on the team 1t is
probable that he would have been re-
served as utility man.
"Yeag" will not be out Of the game
long.
He will soon catch on with some
other team, and 1t is understood that
he has several prospects in sight. One
of them is known to be the manage
ment Of the Ottumwa team, and in
such a capacity Pop" would give the
Ottumwa fans team that could be
depended upon If they had the mate
rial in them. Negotiations are going
on at the present time with the Off
Gals Of the Ottumwa team, but as yet
things have not assumed definite
attitude.
On account OF the service the old
man has rendered Quincy, Manager
Hofer stated this morning that he
was reluctant to let him go, but the
number Of men which manager Is
allowed to carry In the Central made
| it necessary for him to take the step
The feeling of Manager Hofer for the
old man is practically the same as
the fans, with whom "Yeag" has cen
ioyed wide popularity. Time rec
ognizes no person, and sooner or later
the heroes of the ball field Of today
are the old men of tomorrow. Here's
to the old man, may his shadow
never grow less, and may he live long
and prosper.

In two exhibitions Of the National
game Keokuk was outlucked yester
day afternoon at Waterloo and Boyle's
men won a double header from the
Indians, taking the first game by the
count of to 2 and the second session
by the score of to 1.
In the first encounter Bramble and
Peterson opposed each other and the
Keokuk finger had much the better of
the argument. Bramble allowed but
four hits, but coupled with three err
rors they were good for three runs
Six hits by Keokuk and two of Water
loo's errors gave the Indians a count
in the third and seventh innings
Peterson the Waterloo twirler was
wild.
In the second game Bruggman and
Blue Jacket started as the Keokuk
battery, but Waterloo found the Indian
off form and two runS were scored.
Belt thought we'll to change on the
jump and himself and Prough took the
heavy end of the work, the latter

ed in air tight form and Waterloo could
not solve his deceptive benders. In

Waterloo and Keokuk obtained but
four hits each, Oyler making two,
Miller and Belt one each for Keokuk
and Cruishank and Curtis sending out

EXPLOSION KILLS
SCORE OF MINERS

DuQuoin, ILL, Jan. IA disastrous
gas explosion. in which 25 men lost
their lives. occurred early yesterday
morning in Joseph Letters famous col
liery at Zeigler. A spark from a trolley
pole of an electric motor coming in
contact with a pocket of gas is as
signed as the cause Of the explosion.
Nj. Letter personally conducted the
first relief party that descended into
the mine to recover the dead bodies.
The lone survivor of the explosion
was an Italian youth, who escaped un-
harmed.
An expert. who had been experiment
ing with the gases in the mines at
Zeigler, left Wednesday confident that
he had placed the mine III safe condi-
ton to be operated.
Mrs. Letter was at the mouth of tho
mine with her husband aiding in quiet
ing the widows and orphans who
crowded about the mine.
The mine was put in operation in
1903, and soon after labor troubles be-
gan. In April. 1905, ar explosion in the
mine killed 81 men,
