short clear to the fence, both base
runners scoring and he himself arriv-
ing safely at third. Bramble still
seemed to have some Of that generous
streak for he walked Curtis. With
Pennington up, Curtis started to sec
ond, Mier throwing to Annis who re-
turned the ball and caught Olson COM
ing in. thus retiring the side.
In the next inning the enemy was
easy but they got down to business
again in the third. Fitzpatrick hit to
left field Shaur followed with a
bingle to right. Milsap kept the
good work up by singing to center,
scoring Fitzpatrick. Although there
was another hit made in this inning
no more runs resulted.
Burch made his debut in the. sixth,
making short work of the three bat
ters who faced him in this inni..
However, his troubles began in the
seventh. Clark started by beating out
his second safe bunt Of the game, he
being somewhat of an artist in the
bunting line and having some claims
to prowess in the sprinting depart
ment. Fitzpatrick followed with
neat sacrifice, putting the runner on
second However Sbaur could not
advance him. grounding to Annis who
threw to Corriden, forcing the white
headed boy. With Shauef on first,
Milsap hit choice one to left for two
sacks and score resulted. McLear
flew out to Landry.
Not satisfied with worrying Rube,
Boyle's men got busy again in the
eighth. Olson got his third hit and
was sacrificed to second. when Pen
nington got his first hit of the series,
sending the ball to center field, scor-
ing Olson. Lizette was thrown out
by Corriden and Clark struck out. In
the last inning there was nothing do
ing.
Keokuk did not come near scoring,
only two hits being punched in one in
ming and then the runners never got
as far as third. Corriden was the
only Indian able to get two hits, he
picking two nice hard ones.

The grandstand was nice and cool
Saturday, there being good breeze
blowing over the diamond for the
largest part of the afternoon.
Thomas Whalen was occupying his
accustomed place in the grandstand
for the first time since his stroke.
He is almost as noisy as ever.
1t is queer fact that the man who
made the hit off Prough in the sec
ond game is the same one who SO
nearly cheated Prough out of his re-
cent no hit contest.
That catch of Mier's speedy liner by
Olson was fine piece of work BY
making the catch he robbed Mier OF
hit that would probably have gone
for two sacks.
Burch made skillfrl play on the
first ball hit to him after he had gone
in The ball was hunted and Rube
scooped it up in his glove hand and
tossed it quickly into his left hand
/ thus getting into shape to throw very
quickly. He caught his man.

Indians Broke Even In a Double Head
er With Waterloo and Are
Still on the
Top.
BELT KNOCKS HOME RUN
Only One Error in the TWO Games and
1t Resulted in Nothing
Good crwd Was
Present.

Before large audience of local
followers Of the natione game Water
loo. and Keokuk broke even in a
douple bill, the games being 121sc
per. Everyone present got the full
value of their money, for they saw
two of the greatest contests ever en-
gagged in on the local diamond Prough
pitched another of the kind of games
which show his stingy nature up, al
lowing the company only one hit
and that was secured by Fitzpatrick,
the man who nearly got one in the first
game of the series when Prough
twirled his no hit game This last
game was only of seven innings dura-
ton by agreement as Is innings is
too long for a hot day like Saturday.
Manager Belt practically decided this
engagement by his long home run
over the left field fence. This hit was
enjoyed all the more by the fans for
the fact that it was a k-st hit ball
and gave those present plenty of time
to watch the sphere in its flight over
the row of boards. It is not known
whether the ball was found or not.
Kent, the visiting pitcher, also has
disposition something like Prough's,
and he was likewise stingy, allowing
the Indians to connect safely but four
times. If it had not been for the
managers drive the grounds might
not have been deserted nearly so
soon.
In the opening contest Boyle intro
duced to the Keokuk audience a new
pitcher by the name of Clark who
must surely have taken a correspond
ence course in the art of twirling, for
he is right there with full assert
ment of offerings He was ably held
up by Lizette and the Indians could
only get to him for six dinky hits
whic resulted in no visible scores.
Not local player reached third in this
curtain riser and only three whitfield
the air near second. Bramble started
out to pitch for the Indians and the
first two men went out fast. But two
bases on balls and a three Dagger by
the mighty Olson scored two runs and
after another visitor bad crossed the
plate in the third and few more hits
had been gathered, Bramble appeared
no more on the slab, but the Doe Run
representative, Lyman Burch, came
forth and the visitors added two
more runs to their total At the close
I of the game the records showed that
they had crossed the plate five times
] while as far as any one could re-
member, none of the locals had turned
/ the trick. The feature OF this con-
| test was the wonderful catch of Mier's
| liner in the third inning by Olson,
he making short run and grabbing
the swiftly moving ball with his bare
| hand. 1t surely was a wonderful piece
| of work and brought forth much APP
plause.
Concerning the Opener.
Shortly after two o'clock the bat
teries for the first game were an
nounced and Bramble took the slab.
Fitzpatrick, the first man up, was
thrown out by Annis, as was also the
next man. Milsap evidently was
tired for he didn't strike at very many
of Brambles offerings and SO got his
base on balls. In due time he stole
second base. Mier making bad heave.

Second Game.

Second Game.
The second game was seven Inn
ing affair it being pitchers battle
In every sense of the word. Kent
was on the mound for the visitors and
Willie Prough occupied the same
place for the locals. Only three men
faced Prough in each inning up to the
last and in that inning the first hit
was obtained off of his delivery.
Aside from Belt no one Of the To-
Gals reached third base In this game,
but one reaching second In the sec
ond inning only three balls were
thrown by Prough and the catcher did
not have the ball in his hands that
inning.

DRIVING RoD BROKE ON GEORGIA
CENTRAL ENGINE, BUT EN-.
GiNEER STUCK TO POST
PREVENTED WRECK
He Had 6een Driven From the Inside
of the Engine by the Escaping Steam
But Got Hold of the Emergency
Brake in Time.

Clarkson. Ga, Dec. 16.-The hero
ism of Engineer Davis, of the Central
of Georgia railways fast mail, who,
while hanging to the outside of the
cab of his engine, which running at 4
speed of fifty miles an hour, stuck his
hand through a veritatle caldron of
scalding steam until he found the
emergency brake and stopped the
tram, and by so doing probably saved
the lives of a hundred passengers on
Tuesday.
Just before the train reached this
place the driving rod of the engine
broke, knocking the fireman uncon-
scious and almost demclishing the
cab. Escaping steam poured from
broken pipes into the cab. Before En-
gineer Davis could reach the emer-
gency brake he was driven from his
seat by the heat. Nevertheless, he
clung to the outside of the cab until
he grasped the lever and stopped the
train, when he fell unconscious from
his perilous position.

Washington. Dec. 16.-The house
has passed the Esch bill, which re-
qGfres all railroads to make full
monthly reports to the interstate ccm-
merce commission of all accidents and
giving to the commission power to
compel railroads to provide uniform
equipment for their cars, and then
took up fer consideration the Mann
Panama canal bill, on which general
debate was concluded before adjourn
ment
Considerable opposition developed
to section of the Esch bill, prohib-
iting the admission as evidence or the
use in any action for damages Of the
reports Of the interstate commerce
commission of Investigations of acci-
dents provided for in the measure.
Chairman Mann urged that it be al
lowed to remain in the bill unamend-
ed In order to encourage railroad
companies to give the commission the
benefit of their fullest information of
accidents.
Several amendments calculated to
modify or destroy the sections were
defeated. The bill becomes effective

The battle for and against the or

the ordinance has won out.
