Sporting ips
Bramble was the dauber. but he had
his danbers down.
The team viii have to win today to
break even. Who'd thunk it,
Olson, waterloo's shortstop got for
hits in yesterdays Burlington-Water-
loo game.
Berte and the old pep conquered at
Jacksonville from PA Belts untam-
able Indians.
Noe of Kewanee, the hard luck
pitcher of the league, held Ottumwa
to five hits and won. to o.
Akers pitched one of his good games
against the Indians. He has one Of
those on days every once and while.
Bramble broke his long string Of
victories yesterday, by losing to the
Lunatics. He had won six sttraights.
It's about time for Zackerr to hand
up the benders for Waterloo and he
viii just about beat Burlington again
today.
Ottumwa pounded Hockenberry and
Dove yesterday at Burlington. These
are the two stickers Keokuk had lit
tie trouble with in the recent series.
Keokuk is but thirty points above
Hannibal and it looks as if there were
will be three parties in the pennant
fight. But, o. those nine points ahead
OF us!
Ned Egan and his crabby bunch of
Pathnnders are the one best bet for
second place at the present time and
II the team continues at the present
rate 1t should finish ahead Of Hannibal
and Quincy.
Keokuk will go to Hannibal after the
Quincy series. During the next week
Burlington VIII be having. dificulty
with Kewanee and waterloo. An even
break will send Egan far into second
place, for from now on the Indians
win.
Boyle's men are right after them and
his aggregation is a few points above
Jacksonville for sixth place. 1t is ex-
pected that Waterloo Will soon pass
Kewanee and Quincy and some dopers
look for Boyle to land in third place
before the season is over.
Quincy Wing: Today Is the last day.
at Hannibal and tomorrow the local
team will return to Quincy to enter
tain the Keokuk runners-up. 1t Will
be hard series, but Hofer is CON
daent Of doing better against the Ind
ians here than he did at Keokuk. when
he took two out of four on Belts own
lot. better than Burlington was able
to do.
Jacksonville Courier: Belt took
Grodnick of of second Thursday and
put Oyler back at that station. Grod-
nick has been batting in great form
for about two weeks. but he fell down
badly against Upton. Oyler, how
ever, did not do any better against
Glass Grcdnick's work on Wednes-
day was such that tie fans we're after
him pretty strong, and 1t is probably
best that Belt did lay him on Thurs
day for that reason alone.

the week of the big midsummer fes-
tival and carnival that is to be held
under the auspices of the Waterloo
Baseball association. The great Pat
terson shows. with their seventeen

joyment the proceeds OF the car

the Waterloo Baseball association and
they will no doubt add a neat sum %
their treasury The cause is worthy
one and the carnival shoul, meet with
liberal patronage from all.
Spokane Spokesman-Review: Magee
has played better first base than
Nordyke, everything considered. dur
ing the last week, although not so
good on throws that draw him up the
line and into the runner. That diff
ference may be accounted for by the
fact that Magee lie a slighter man
