Waterloo at Keokuk.
Ottumwa at Quincy.
Burlington at Hannibal.
Kewanee at Jacksonville.

On Tuesday, May 4. members of that
great club of fandom will flock t, the
above four parks in the Central Asso-
citation to witness the opening games
of what promises to be the greatest
season of prosperity ever enjoyed in
this league. 1t will be battle of
giants when the eight teams march to
the ball parks preceded by brass
bands, and followed by thousands OF
spectators. The cities of the Central
Association have not yet fully awak-
ened to the fact that the opener is but
few days off and the long looked
for day is fast approaching. Whether
the teams win or lose they are there
to do or to die and the various mana
gers are making herculean efforts to
land their team up in that column
which will be watched with so much
interest in the association. Keokuk
directors are working quietly on prep
arations for the opening day and next
Tuesday will be made a big one in
every possible way.
Manager Ned Egan is greatly inter-
ested in the plan of President Justice
| to secure scores of all the games in
/ the Central Association by innings at
the various ball parks. The idea is to
have telephones installed at the var
ious parks to receive the returns from
other cities as fast as they can be sem
and then post them upon the score
board In this way the fans could keel
track of all games played in the league
as the scores by innings could bt
telephoned The service would be ap
preciated, especially When the race i
, close.
Pitcher Eubanks, who was with F.
Dodge in the early days of the low
league and was sold to Detroit, the
!; dropped to Indianapolis and later t
FIT Wayne, has been released by tt
latter club. He has sent word t
Il Egan of Burlington that he Is out fo

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-04-21
pie Must be Kept.

James J. Hill, when asked in Wash
ington the other day for an elabora-
ton of his tariff views, said:
ST am not tariff expert and can
not properly discuss the merits or de-
merits of the pending measure. |
have no special interest in the tariff bill,
but am interested in the prosperity
of the country generally. and the soon
er this question is settled one way or
the other the better it will be for all
sections.
"The people throughout the country
feel that something has been promised
to them in the way of tariff revision,
and they want to get it as quickly as
possible. 1t is the universal impress
sion that that promise meant a revi-
sion downward. Both parties pledged
themselves to this revision in their
national platforms. The task was
given to one party, but if it fails, in
my opinion, the duty of tariff revision
will then be intrusted to those who
are altogether opposed to the protec-
tive policy.
"Party lines never have been so
nearly obiliterated as at present.
With this condition facing it party
cannot afford to disregard the

demands made upon it. Those in
trusted with the revision of the tariff
now would do we'll to consider, first
of all, the duty they owe to all the
people.
1.-THE great West is vitality interest
ed in this question. The big tariff
interests, as a rule, are confined to
the Atlantic coast. That immense
territory known as the West and the
Northwest has not been the beneficiary
of the tariff; rather it has felt its hard
ships and it's burdens. The clamor
for revision Of the tariff has spread
all over that country. They are tired
of conditions that have existed for the
past tew years. They want to get the
business of the country on a sound
and equitable basis. To do that it is
necessary to get the tariff question
out of the way.
"But it it is not reasonably revised
on the lines laid down in the plat
forms you may be sure" and the big
railway magnate emphasized his re-
mark with a vigorous prod of his
forefnger, ''the electorate will send to
congress next time representatives
who will make a violent revision, and
the result of that no man can foresee. !"
