A line ON THE
PENNANT DOPE
Conservative Figures Show That Bur-
lIngton May Win Pennant by
Two Points-Dope May
be Upset.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO
II keokuk Makes Clean Sweep and
Burlington Loses Four Games
Then We Have the
Pennant.

In the following article from the
Burlington Gazette that paper fails
to mention the fact that IL Burlington
loses four OF the remaining games and
keokuk makes clean sweep, victory
Will be ours. Conservative figures
give the Pathfinders the pennant by
two points, according to the following
article which is a very good summary.
Burlington baseball fans. that is
optimistic fans, are banking on moth
ing else but that Burlington will win
the Central Association pennant. The
local club has SO per cent the best of
1T at the present time and there is no
reason to believe that this advantage
cannot be maintained until the last.
Three games will be PLAYED In OF
tumwa and 1t is only necessary to win
two of them. Three would be accept
able to make matters absolutely safe,
but two will be ample. 1t is not ex.
pected that Egan's team will have
walkaway with the Ottumwa club. The
tailenders always take a particular de-
light in Earring the leaders and II Is
the intention of the pennant chasers
to curtail this delight or eliminate It
entirely.
| Hannibal commences three-game
series with Keokuk at Keokuk today
and Keokuk will have to win them all
to put them in the running.
keokuk closes away from home at
Kewanee and 1t is not expected that
the Indians will make any particular
impression on the Boilermakers. Jack
sonville closes the season at Hannibal
and the manner in which the Luna.
tics are performing. makes 1t unlikely
that Hannibal will be able to clean
up that series. Burlington closes at
home with Quincy four games.
If Burlington wins four games out
OF the seven to be played, the final
standing will be-
I1s4 81 = 3 f ST.
II Hannibal wins five out of the six
games remaining, their standing will
be-
P W. I. Pct
i 1856 SO So $40
i II Keokuk makes clean sweep
out OF the six remaining games, they
will finish as follows
r W. l.. Pct
136 SO SO .610
These are mighty conservative flg.
ures and give both Hannibal and Keo
kuk all the best OF 1t. II is hardly
possible that Keokuk will win six
straight games or that Hannibal will
clean UP Ave games out Of the series
!. In fact, Keokuk is doped to take two
out Of the series at home, having TAX
en- that number in Hannibal
If Burlington should only be able to
, win three out Of the seven games and
. Hannibal and Keokuk three apiece
out Of the six games yet to be played
burlington would finish Goa Hanni
bal. .596; and Keokuk .591.

nings. the Detroit leader, and Fred
Clare of Pittsburg are great managers,
but
Hugh and Fred made one big mis-
take each when they let Jimmy
Archer get away, and Frank Chance,
the Cub manager. showed one of the
traits which stamp him as baseball
general when he grabbed Archer to
take the place of the rebellious
Johnny King.
Jennings couldn't see Archer with
binoculars. Neither could Clarke.
Chance saw him work and added him
to his stable. And Archer has been
making history in the National league
ever since.
AS a thrower to the bases there
isn't a man in the big leagues who
compares with Archer. He is in
class by himself, whipping the ball
down SO fast that ne gets runner
who is careless enough to SO much as
lose his balance.
Archer is parent of the squat
throw" He hasn't patented the toss
yet, but he's the only one using it
because the others can't acquire the
knack
The squat throw is made while
Archer is sitting on his heels in the
position all backstops assume when
signaling the pitcher. In this position
1t is impossible for the runner to tell
waen he, is going to make the throw,
and Archer does 1t with SO little ef-
fort that runners stick closer than
poor relatives when he is doing the
receiving.
Archer's throwing has won two
worlds records for him. Both were
gained at the expense OF Charlie
Babbs' Memphis club in the Southern
association, when Archer was with
/ Atlanta
| The first was the catching of three
men off base in one inning on four
pitched balls, and the other was
catching seven men off first in one
/ game.
Otto williams of the Pelicans once
wagered $50 he would steal at least
one base a game ON Archer. Tae
latter heard of this, and every time
williams went to bat he was walked
and he not only failed to steal, bu'
was caught mapping off first seyera
times.
Archer broke into professional base
! ball at Fargo, No. D. From there ht
went to virden, Manitoba, where they
play ball in the evening. In 1904 he
/ played at Boone, Iowa, where M
made reputation, and that fall wa'
sold to Pittsburg for $500. Pittsburi
sent him to Atlanta, where Jennings
| found him When Archer joined thu
Tigers, Jennings noticed he did no
take step in throwing to second
and spoke to him about 1t. Archie
tried to oblige, but failed, and wa
sent to Buffalo, where Clance say
him, and today Chicago fans don
miss Johnny King bit.

Fans will remember the arguments
made before the season opened and
previous to the drawing up of sched-
ule which lasted for some time and
the victory of a 140-game schedule,
which was adopted by the league. But
it looks as If the league is to lose
money, as wealth of disastrous
weather Is being enjoyed at the pres
ent time. and the last week OF the
season will be REPETITION of last year,
even when the shorter schedule was
played However the fans want TO
see baseball until the last and the
longer schedule is probably best suit
ed to them.
Quincy Journal: Quincy is leading
the league in attendance with COM
Portable margin, that is. up to Septem-
Der /. Up to that time this city had
turned out over $4,000 people and it Is
not likely that any other town in the
league will overcome the lead which
Quincy has Hannibal, with guar.
anteed attendance of $4,000, Will fall
short of that mark. Although Quincy
leads the league in attendance and
will lead it at the close Of the season.
the attendance Is remarkably low for
this town, but is easily explained
The celebrated slump that the team
took is responsible for the loss a
fact that goes to prove that this town
will not support losing team. After
the team went to the bad the fans
ceased in their attendance at the
games and as a rule the majority of
the games that have been played here

NECKLACEGAvE HIM BAD LUCK.
One Reason Why II Was Restored to Mrs.
Bernstein by Man In Hospital.

The diamond necklace lost by Mrs.
Max Bernstein Of I2e West I2oth street a
year ago was restored to her yesterday
on behalf OF a man who had never had
any luck since he found it, While enter
ing a carriage on February ,ioOs, to go
TO a wedding party at the Waldorf Mrs
Bernstein noticed that strand in her
necklace was broken.
Rather than run the chance Of losing
1t she turned it over to her young son,
Irving, to carry back upstairs for her.
Irving stuffed IL into his pocket instead
and went for walk. When he got home
he didn't have the necklace. Bernstein
offered a reward Of 81 900 with no result.
On February 10 this year Mrs. Bern
stein got a typewriter letter on the sta
tionery OF the Brooklyn Heights Railroad
Company, signed W. A. Dempsey. and
reading:
i understand that you lost diamond
necklace some time during the last year.
II you have not already recovered your
necklace and care 10 call or communicate
with me you may learn something 10 your
interest -
Bernstein and Detective Sicilio found
Dempsey, who is lawyer employed by
the claims department Of the road. He
told his visitors a client had the necklace
and couldn't rest easy till 1t was returned.
Dempsey said his client told him that since
he found the necklace he hadn't had any
luck at all le had been in the hospital |
'or months and was conscience stricken.
The necklace was returned With con-
siderable haggling over a reward. AL
though 1t needed repairing when it was
ost it was returned in good shape.
