League Dope
for Enthusiasts

From Jacksonville Journal: Stech-
er is the name of the new pitch
er signed by Manager Berte. He
comes from Dayton, O., and has not
been playing for the past year. He
formerly donned uniform In Louis
vile in the American Association,
where he made good record. Berte
has been compelled to use his
pitchers more than they were able to
stand and the addition of Stecher
ought to strengthen that department
of the team effectively. He was ex-
pected in the city last night and will
work in the Kewanee series
Those shin guards are what is the
matter with Fisher. In practice he
pegs the ball down like lightning, but
with the guards encumbering his I'M
derpinping he is painfully slow.
Witness the pilfering Burlington and
Hannibal have done on him. Bet
ter leave EN- off for day or two
and note the difference.

BLADDER TROUBLES NEED
PROMPT ATTENTION.

Perhaps you don't know how much
work is required of your kidneys and
bladder or of how much Importance
they are. Do you know that on these
important organs hinges good
health? Many an apparently
strong. healthy man or woman
has been stricken without notice
by serious kidney and bladder
disease only to realize too late what
might have been prevented with prop
er care and attention.
Some of the early symptoms of weak
kidneys and bladder are lumbago,
rheumatism, catarrh Of the bladder,
pain or dull ache in the back, joints
or muscles, at times have headache or
indigestion, dizziness, you may have
sallow complexion, puffy or dark
eyes, sometimes feel as though you
had heart trouble, may have plenty of
ambition but no strength, get weak
and waste away.
If you find you have some of the
symptoms mentioned. you need then
a remedy that will reach the seat of
the disease and at the same time
build UP the system generally.
Such remedy is Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder rem
edy. In thousands of cases it has ac-
complished just the work you need
performed now
Sample bottle of swamp-Root, free
by mail.
Send to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Bingham

will convince anyone. You will also
receive booklet OF valuable informa-
ton. telling all about the kidneys and
bladder When writing, be sure and

sure of The two well earned victories
Of Burch gives him a neat boost In
the won and lost standing.
The First Engagement.

The Indians scored lone run in the
FIRST inning and that came early in the
seance. Hickman, who was on thu
mound, was no great puzzle but he
managed to keep the hits SO well
scattered and so short that the home
players had hard work making much
Roadway.
The winning score came in the sec
ond when Miller laid down pretty
bunt that Fennell failed to handle In
time. Annis was there with the sac
rifice and Grodnick hit fast one to
Brand. The ball DETECTED slightly
from the rough ground near the play
er and Brand failed to handle 1t, CIV
ing Grodnick scratch hit and allow
ing Miller to reach home. The lit
tie bad luck for Ottumwa gave the In
dams a victory without prolonging the
contest. In nearly every inning Keo-
kuk got a man to first. second or
third. but always failed to score the
runner. Hickman pitched well with
men on.
With the team giving 'Burch good
support the followers Of Owens found
hard sliding with Burch. In the first
inning Fennell hit fast one which
carromed off Burch's glove hand and
went for scratch hit Reeve sacri-
feed and Fennell reached third on
wild pitch by Burch. Jehl walked, but
senno struck out and Brand hit a
high fly to left.
With two down in the second Link
singled and Hickman flew to right. In
the third, fourth, fifth, seventh and
ninth innings singles were made, but
they came with either one or two
down and counted for naught. The
score:

Those TWO Games.

Waterloo Courier: Voting in the
matter Of the question as to whether
Waterloo shall in the end be entitled
to the two games clearly won from
Keokuk on the local grounds on June
~ is apparently hanging fire. First
reports to the effect that Ottumwa
had voted in favor Of Waterloo were
premature, Ottumwa having later
changed the vote and favoring Presi-
dent Justice and Keokuk. Waterloo
has Quincy, Burlington and Hanni-
bal lined up for decision in favor of
taking the games from Keokuk. II
appears that Jacksonville and Kewa-
nee will vote with Ottumwa for Keo-
kuk and President Justice. A deci
sion of this kind, leaving the vote a
tie. will not end the matter. 1t is
understood that Manager Boyle will
carry the matter to the national com.
mission for final determination.

Second Game.

For three innings it looked as If
the Indians were going to have trou-
bic with Dunn, the pitcher who work
ed against us in the first game of the
series. The first three Keokuk hit
ters, Landry, Thomas ana Corridor
failed to find the ball and were easy
for Dunn, all three striking out. In
the second Reichle was out, third to
first and Miller and Belt proved easy
prey, both laying down their bats az
ter three fast ones. In the third Grod-
nick went out on short fly to Fen
nell and Mier gave the fans life by
getting clean hit to third. Burch
struck out 1t looked bad But
while Dunn was going well Burch was
holding the visitors safe also. In
the first two innings not man got
to first base. In the third with two
down Dunn singled to right and Fen
nell hit slow one into the ground
which went for a safety. Reeve hit
to Miller and the side was retired.

PROTESTED GAME
Is THROWN OUT
President Justice Took Action In Sec
ond Game Of Hannibal-ke-
vance Double
KEoKUK IN FIRST PLACE
Hannibal in Rear by Virtue Of Having
Played One Game Less-Fact Of
Case Which Leads to
Action.
KEOKUK IN FIRST PLACE
Revised Standing.

Presiden. NJ. e. Justice stated today
that in lieu of the evidence at hand
there was nothing for him to do but
throw out the second game of the Han
nibal-Kewanee double header played
Monday afternoon, which was won by
Hannibal in the ninth inning on home
run over right field fence by Evans
Incidentally Keokuk jumps from tie
into first place, having Played one
more and won one more game than
Hannibal
The facts of the case are Identical
with those published in the Gate City
the afternoon following the game and
the action OF the Hannibal players
was contrary to all baseball rules and
it would have been unfair for the exc
cutive of the league not to uphold
Connors' protest.
According to Umpire Gleason, who
worked in the game and can be de-
pended upon for the best record OF
the affair, the game should be thrown
out Evans hit the ball over the fence
In the ninth inning and only ran part
of the way to first base when he dart
ed from the field toward the players
bench. Prout and number of other
Hannibal players, seeing what Evans
had done. rushed for him and pushed
him around the circuit. making him
touch first, second, third and home.
The players were off the field and
the spectators had gone before Glea-
son could do anything.
The case Is something similar to
the Merkle incident in New York
Merkle failed to complete the play BY
not running to second base and New
York lost the pennant Evans failed
to complete the play Monday without
| outside interference of players. Not
because Keokuk gains by it, but The
Gate City would favor throwing out
the game in any instance.
Fleming Upheld.

the game and award 1t to Ottumwa
had Dirk" LaFeber. against whom a
complaint was made by Fleming was
not taken out or did not leave the
grounds LaFeber was standing al
tae fence ir front of the bleachers
making considerable noise together
with "Hi' stebbins when Fleming or
dered him from the groudns, accusing
him of using profanity. At first La
Feber did not want to go but finally
consented and the game progressed
The fans were not pleased with Elem
ings action, but he did it to uphold
the dignity OF the game.

Hurrah for Lyman! who'd a thunk


Hurrah for Lyman! Who'd thunk
It?
.602 Is our average now, and incidea-
tally. Hannibal has the same.
The last game only lasted seven
innings by the clock, the visitors
wanting to get away.
Dunn would probably have good
record with team like Keokuk or
Hannibal back OF him.
The Waterloo boys are with us for
few days now 1t looks like two
out OF three for one side or the other.
Ottumwa plays the most Mstless
ball of any team in the league. They
are just about in the local city league
class.
Thomas plays nice fielding game
besides handling himself we'll at the
stick. He will be banging them out
before long.
Dunn started out nicely but could
no. keep up the pace. A pitcher to
win game for Ottur.wa almost has
to pitch a no hit game.
Rube is just getting start for his
record breaking run OF victories. He
intends to win fifteen straight just
to make Reulbach and Chesbro sore.
Pa Belt got into. the game long
enough to get nice hit and drive in
run ahead of him. It's hard for the
old man to stay out OF the conflict.
| Landry made catch In the second
game which was surely thriller, he
getting a hard hit ball after allowing
1t to bounce out Of his hands before
it hit the ground.
FLEMING is very cool headed man
and he never goes up In the air, al
ways getting what he goes after. This
Is the kind OF men who have right
to be on a ball fed.
Someone in the crowd asked Rusty
Owens after the game II he would
be back again. The man with in
candescent hair replied that he would
not be back again this week.
j Reichle made one OF his few errors
on fly ball from Brands bat in the
last inning Of the second game. He
was too sura OF 1t and 1t bounced out
OF his hands. Brand was caught going
to second however, ending the game

things by reaching first ON an error

was up to the mighty Reichle to do
something. but he struck out, after
