and had scattered unknown to Mayor

came to him from three sources that
pockets had been picked while for

the busiest in Mayor Welch's life.
With the aid OF Constable White and
others, he rounded up the outfit, made
them disgorge $500 of that amount;
Justice Martin extracted the other
$40 and costs and they were driven
out OF the city limits.

TALK OF sHAKE-UPs

AS the Central association season Is
on the wane, the leaguesmiths are
getting busy fixing up new circuits.
There Is some reason to believe that
there will be a general shake up in
both the Three l League and the Cen
trail association this winter, which will
mean the reorganization Of these cir
cults. with the possible formation Of
third league.
Charles Hover of Oskaloosa, who
was president Of the Oskaloosa Base
Ball association and who never quite
recovered from the disappointment at
tendant to that city being canned
from the Central association, is the
most active promoter OF the new Iowa
league. Mr. Hower's proposition is to
take in Clinton, Dubuque, Cedar Rap
ids, Waterloo, Oskaloosa and Ottumwa
and to fill up the gapswith either Fl
Dodge, Marshalltown, Mason City or
Muscatine.
The five-year agreement under
which the Three l League has been
working expires this fall, which will
surely mean the disruption of that cir
cult. 1t is almost foregone conclu-
sion that NEITHER Dubuque or Cedar
Rapids will make bid to enter the
Three l again, while in the Central
association there is belief current
that Waterloo will not be able to get
back into the Central association, ow-
Ing to its out of way location.
The withdrawal of Otumwa and
Waterloo from the Central association
will leave two gaps in that circuit that
can be readily filled up with Gales
burg and Monmouth. Quincy has
Three league aspirations but it will
be hard to get into the Three / league
If such an organization does not exist.
1t is understood that Hover has his
p lanfor the organization of the. league
pretty well worked out. He has been
In communication with prominent fans
In the cities before mentioned and has
received much encouragement. Oska-
loosa was handicapped in the past by
the fact that 1t was necessary to
play Sunday games at park several
miles removed from the city. 1t has
arranged to get ball park closer to
the city and it is expected with this
convenient arrangement that there
will be no difficulty about getting the
required attendance for the class Of
league 1T is intended to organize. Man
ager Owens of the Ottumwa base ball
club is said to be another active NOV
er in the formation OF the new league.
IL Dubuque and Cedar Rapids with
draw from the Three I, Burlington and
Quincy would have an excellent chance
to take their places. This would
leave the Central association pretty
well shot to pieces.
It's a good bet that there win be q
shifting OF some kind, and no doubt
1t Will be for the best interests of the
game to change things around. Paste

Today the big leagues begin to
draft. Ali Of the sixteen clubs will
get busy. Some \ draft likely
youngsters with the intention of CIV
ing them trial, while others will ex-
ercise their privilege just to obilge
some other minor league manager,
who has his eye on one or more play
ers in league below his, but fears
that the player will be snapped up
by some one else before he can get
busy. This kind of drafting will un-
doubtedly take large number Of
Central association players from
this league. The men drafted will
be led to believe that they are going
to the majors and next spring they
will find themselves in class B or
class league.
Last week President johnson, of
the American league, issued an edict
threatening Ty Cobb with blacklist
or something just as bad if he con-
tinued to spike other players. A
great number of players in the Amer
lean league were spiked this season
and nearly all the spiking has been
done by Detroit players. This COM
ing winter Johnson will endeavor to
secure some legislation reducing the
length of spikes and making them
uniform. Tim Murname says that
spiking is not the only long suit Of
the Tigers, but that Hugh Jennings
has been caught working the old game
OF ringing in balls lacking the proper
trademark and signature of President
Johnson, all going to show that Sir
Hugh is at his old Baltimore tricks,
and thereby lowering the standard Of
baseball as supposed to be called for
in the American league. If a team
lost about so or more points In its
standing every time 1t was caught in
employing questionable methods, such
unworthy tricks would stop in hurry.

In the ninth inning Of yesterdays
mild seance which might have been
won by Keokuk with a little judge
ment. or possibly good judgement Of
a different nature, the big balloon
went up at the circus grounds before
a large crowd of fans, among whom
were many ladies'. The ascension put
quite a crimp in the pennant aspira-
tions of the Indians and the count
was 5 to 2. In the fatal round
base on balls, Croft's error at the
plate, stolen base and four safe hits
were all punched, giving the visitors
an easy victory
Slim Bennett, the former Quincy
player contributed his share to the
downfall of the Indians and his de-
cisions were very poor in many in
stances. Especially one when Reichle
hit along the left field foul line, and
his jumps ruled the ball foul without
moving from his tracks. Again, an
other decision which is somewhat in
question, and upon which Belt pro-
tested the game, was the play at home
plate which would have meant a
score. Corriden started for home
when oRuse begun his windup and
would have been home easily had not
Walsh stepped up in front of Reichle
and taken the throw to tag him. Ac-
cording to all rulings in base ball as
far as are at hand catcher must
remain In his box and not ignore the
batter as Walsh did in that case 1t
can be figured out that if the catcher
does this the umpire could easily rule
a balk. which entities the runner TO
home. When the pitcher starts his
windup the ball must be delivered to
the batter, and if the catcher steps
in to misdirect such play it can
easily be seen that the ball is not de-
livered by the pitcher to the batsman
and thus it is balk

PROFESSOR RYERs KILLED BY
ETHER ADMINISTERED BY
DENTIST.

Lawrence M. Byers, professor of
law in the Iowa State university,
died on the 7th inst. in London, Eng
land, from the effects it is said of
ether administered by dentist. who
was employed by Mr.. Beyers to re-
The dispatches say that his death
was caused by the ether, and while
that may be true, the account of the
operation suggests the possibility of
death from the dropping of the tooth
into the throat after it was drawn.
To guard against such accidents a
specially designed forceps for the
removal of wisdom teeth was invent.
ed few years ago.
In any event there is no danger
from ether when properly administer
ed, and grave danger when used by
unskilled persons.
A woman in the sisters hospital at
Rochester, Minnesota, has administers
ed ether to more than 10000 persons
without single fatality due to the
use of the drug. And another woman
who resigned her position at Iowa
City few years ago, left an un.
broken record of nearly 5000 cases Ill
which she had successfully admins
tered an anesthetic On the Other
hand deaths from ether in dental
chairs are lamentably frequent. Not
long ago young woman died in that
way at Delhi in this county.
Professor Bycrs was the gifted son
of Major S. H. NJ. Byers Of Des
Moines and his death is much more
than family bereavement.
