Captured TWO Sets Yesterday Which
Coupled With Their Other
Victories EntitIe Them
to Championship.
SINGLE SET S PLAYED
Also, Kerr Beating AiIins and Rice
Bell Getting the Decision
From Edgar Gard

Things thrived on the tennis courts
at the Y. NJ. c. A. athletic field yester-
day afternoon, there being three sets
Of doubles and two sets OF singles
played. The play was the most In
teresting of the program to the large
gallery which eagerly followed every
move of the players. Maurice and
Louis Dadant won the right of super
iority over the other teams by play
ing four men off their feet.
The afternoon started with the
Higbys of Hamilton winning ever the
Wycoff-Merriam combination by the
one sided scores of 60, and Gil Then
came the genes in which the Dadants
won over their fellow townsmen. the
winners of the first match by almost
equally as large scores, coming out in
the lead for the best two out of three
sets, 81 and 6-2. Not satisfied with
the above victory, the winners went
in again to finish the tournament up,
doing so by beating the Bell-Collins
team for the best three out of FIVE
games, winning with heads up, GO,
GA, and SO, thereby gaining the right
to claim the championship over the
other combinations entered.
The doubles winners play one of
the strongest games ever seen here
and they could undoubtedly trim any
combination in this city. Maurice is
ambidextrous and many times when
waiting for the serve will hold the
racquet in both hands, although only
swing with one, making it very diff
! ficult to tell where he is going to
knock the sphere. His brother, Louis,
although not SO handy with his two
hands, is almost as good, playing an
all around game. Playing as they
have, together, for quite while, 1t
would be a hard proposition for any
combination to come out In the lead
playing them They introduced many
tactics which were seemingly new to
local players.
In the single department, Kerr
playing Alling, came out to the good
although the loser held Kerr to a
deuce set and took one by the score
of six to two. In this department
Bell and Gardner also played, the
former winning in straight sets, G.
and 6-3. AS yet there are about foul
sets to be played in the single event
before the winner can be determined
upon. and the remaining games viii
be played off In the near future
Physical Director r. E. Chamberlir
acted as referee yesterday and his
decisions were all we'll received.

A Few figures.

The past season has been very
successful one in the commercial
league, In fact the best year yet.
President N. A. King in compiling a
few figures finds that the six teams
comprising the league have signed one
hundred men, while last year only
seventy-eight held contracts. Another
feature Of the season was that only
three men were suspended while last
year twenty-five had to be kept from
playing owing to going against the
rules of the organization under which
the league runs. Lastly there has
been a better class of ball played and
lots of interest conferred in the vari-
Gus contests. Things look bright for
an equally successful campaign next
year.

Today and Tomorrow.
Keokuk at Hannibal.
Burlington at Waterloo.
Kewanee at Ottumwa.
Quincy at Jacksonville.

The pennant for Keokuk stills looms
up as a percentage possibility and it
will not be for several days at least
before the Pathfinders can lay just
and undisputed claim to the title
However, with Keokuk facing the
present odds, Burlington is the best
bet. for Saturday Hannibal was pull
ed farther down the line, when the
Indians romped home with the contest
by the score of 6 to 2. 1t took just
one inning for the followers OF Pa
Belt to put the game on ice and 1t
looks as II the Indians will leave the
battle field for their winter reser-
vations after whirlwind finish.
Bramble was on the mound for Keo-
kuk In Saturdays contest and so well
did he keep the nine hits scattered
that the home club was in darkness
during the greater part OF the time.
In the last inning a cluster of hits
saved whitewash.
On the other hand Harry Swain
went we'll in all but one inning and
that was the bcVcutu. L uc lAuldHS
had the game / to 0 up to that time,
but they fell upon the home pitcher
with renewed vigor and sent five
men across the plate.
Keokuk played grand ball in the
field and not a single man was cred
tied with an error. At all times was
Bramble given ecellent support and
many difficult chances were accepted,
Thomas and Corriden were particular
stars and accepted many chances
that might have gone for base hits.
McLear Hamilton and Prout were all
responsible for mishaps on the Hanni'
bal team A feature of the game
was an unassisted double play by
Thomas.
Bramble again displayed his ter.
rifle hitting ability by putting the ball
over right field fence in the seventh
inning cleaning the bases, the bal
sailing clear Of the obstruction and
alighting among the houses outside
the grounds. The score:

Two Home Runs.

The losers scored first in the sec
ond inning when Griffey pulled off one
of his weekly stunts of knocking the
sphere over the fence. Again in the
fourth inning another "over the
fence" smash was contributed by L.
King, who drove the ball down tn
wards Fifth and Main street, 1t being
one of the longest hits ever seen on
the field. This happened with man
on second and consequently two
scores resulted In the sixth and
ninth innings they again scored on a
combination of hits and errors, maxi
ing their total five, just one less than
enough to carry away the honors.
Huiskamps tailed first in the
fourth on base on balls, an error
and a hit In the fifth round they
again scored, this time twice, scoring
one run also in the seventh, ninth and
tenth innings
Manager Huiskamp played a bril-
liant game to finish the season, get
ting two runs and three hits out Of
five times at bat. In a previous game
played yesterday afternoon he had
one of his fingers split and his per.
Torrance is all the more creditable
as a result. Following is the official
score:

TWO Pertinent Answers.

Lord Brougham, speaking Of tho

strong notion that moonshine, though
1t be, you would like to see the first

The Other Game.

The st. Peters team was supposed
to play the high school bunch, but
owing to the fact that but few OF
its men appeared, forfeited, making
it tie between the latter and Huis-
Ramps for first place. The Irwin
Phillips team played the Elks IN the
big league park, the former winning
by the score of to 2. the antle-ed
players contributing nine errors to
the gayety of the occasion, Hughes
being the heaviest offender. Hicks
and Robertson each pitched good
ball. Following is the score:

.HUISKAMPS Won
The PENNAN7.
OF the Commercial League by Beat
ing the High School Team
Yesterday Afternoon
in Joy Park.
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT
Allowed the Winning Tally to be Reg.
istered in the Tenth Inning,
the Final Score Being
Six to Five
Standing Of the Clubs.

James Huiskamp's bunch of leath
er workers won the title of champions
OF the Commercial league by beating
the men representing the local palace
OF higher education. 1t was sad af-
fair and ten innings were required TO
decide the winner. In the said tenth
round, with man on third base and
Bradford at bat, high fly came float
ing out between right and center field,
Vestal and Duncan respectively oc-
cupying these positions. 1t seems
that the two players thought they had
time to give written notice of who
would clasp it for the first thing
| Vestal knew the ball struck him in
the right eye, knocking him to the
was lost, Huiskamps having drawn
| their outs at the start of the contest
| The school teacher Is carrying his
"eye" with him yet, and probably will
| for some time. 1t is lucky that 1t did
not hit little higher up as a serious
injury might have then resulted.
Craig McManus was on the hill for
the scholars, while A. Welsman oc-
cupied similar position for the
leather men, the two matching nr
pretty well as the official score shows.
The scholar was touched up for ten
hits while his opponent held his
| enemy to nine In the matter Of
strikeouts, McManus was far to the
good making thirteen men punish the
atmosphere in vain, while Weisman
made seven batters act in cores
ponding manner, giving no bases on
balls thereby evening up with his
opponent, who allowed three.

BROTHER OF POSTMASTER
LEWIS ONE. OF ABRAHAM
LINCOLN'S PALLBEARERS

Rufus W. Lewis of Nangatuck. Con-
necdcut. brother OF Postmaster Robert
8. Lewis of this city, was one Of the
military guard of honor that accom-
panied the remains of President Lin
coin from Washington, D. c. to
Springfield. Illinois, and was selected
on the arrival Of the funeral party at
the latter place to be one OF the six
active pail bearers on the occasion Of
tho interment in Oak Ridge cemetery,
where the body of the martyred presi-
dent was laid to rest
There were twenty-five members of
tho guard of honor. all first sergeants,
besides commissioned ofhcers from
the regular army. Mr.. Lewis belonged
to the Fifteenth Connecticut volun-
teers and was stationed in Washing
ton when the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln took place The funeral
train left Washington for Springfield
on the morning of April 21st, 1865 and
stopped Philadelphia, New York City,
Albany, Cleveland. Columbus, Indian
apolis. Chicago and other cities to per-
NIT the people to view the remains of
the president.
At all hours of the day and night
from the time the funeral train left
Washington until the burial on May
4th. nearly two weeks later, military
detail stood guard about the bier. Such
an outpouring of people to loop UPON
the face OF the dead has never been
seen in this country and for a period
of ten days a constant stream of
mourners passed by the coffin to
gaze upon the rugged and benevolent
features OF the deceased.
Mr.. Lewis is, probably the only sur
viving active pail bearer of the Lin
coin funeral. at least, he is not aware
that any of the others are living. A
few days after the return of the mill
escort to Washington its members
were presented by the officers of the
War Department with special COM
memorative medals which had been
granted to them by congress. Mr..

Mr.. G. A. Gearhart's lecture is said
by all to have been one Of the greatest
ever delivered in Hartford. 1t was full
of intellectually, eloqueuce of the
highest type, and a moral purpose
that thrilled and inspired us all. Not
only was the lecture ideal, but the lee
turer is splendid example of the
Christian American gentleman.
