set OF records of the Central Associa-
ton, which contains additional rec
ords to those published when the rec
ords were first made and as they are
contained in the official record book.
One of the most interesting parts
of this chart is diagram showing the
championship race OF the past season
which gives the place of every team
after every series. Il will be interest
Ing to follow the ups and downs OF
Keokuk last season.
Keokuk got away in poor form as
will be remembered. The team is
given sixth place after the first ser
les. then goes to seventh place for
two series, and then slumps TO eighth
place for one series. This is the onl.
time that Keokuk is at the bottom dur
ing the entire season. The team then
climbs steadily going to seventh. sixth
and then a big jump to third place.
The next jump is TO second place and
We have the two extremes, eight and
second place during the month of
May. The team then drops to third
place and there remains for four SER
les, when a drop to fourth place is
taken. With but one exception when
the team drops to fifth place for one
series, the team is in fourth place ten
series, and then falls to fifth place for
/ three series, Jacksonville taking Keo-
kuk's place. Back into fourth place
the team goes and there remains until
the middle of August From then un-
til the end of the season the club has
varying fortune and is down to sixth
place, but never higher than fourth,
finishing in fourth place.
! With the exception OF but two
stretches of game, Waterloo is in first
| place during the entire season, and
! Burlington is in second
| Quincy took third place the middle
/ of June and for nearly three months
retained that place.
/ Jacksonville is probably bounced
about more than any team but never
/ got below sixth place. Kewanee and
Ottumwa dropped to seventh and
/ eigth place early in the season and re-
manned there until the end, the finish
between Kewanee and Ottumwa being
very close in September.
Arrangement With G.
Hannibal Morning Journal: Yester-
day President Cruikshank Of the To-
cal baseball association completed ar.
rangements with the Burlington rail
road to run a train from the Union de
pot to the ball park every time that a
/ regular game or an exhibition game is
played in the city. This will give the
fans caance to go clear to the park
and walk but a few steps when they
get off the train. The street car line
does not run close enough to the park
to give the patrons of the games an
advantage TO ride President Cruik-
shank has been working On this
scheme for some time but not until
yesterday were the final arrangements
made
an effort is now being made to have
the Snort Line run a special train to
Hannibal every Sunday SO that the
fans in New London and Perry will
have an opportunity to see the games
The idea is good one and il the
train is run no doubt big crowds from
Perry and New London will come
down every Sunday to witness tbs
games.
