A Reception for Burch.
Southpaw Burch, who held Water
loo to l hit in the opening game, was
accorded fierce bombardment at
the hands OF the Packers in yester-
days game. Not for a long time has
the PREMIER lefthander of the league
been hit so hard and he was forced
to retire after four innings and
Bramble was sent in to relieve him.
The feature Of the game was the
fierce batting Of Reichle who was re-
sponsible for most of Keokuk's runs.
He came to bat four times and got
three two baggers and single. The
hits were clean ones in every instance
and had telling effect in the run col
umn.
After blanking Ottumwa in the first
Keokuk came to bat and sent two
men across the plate. Hildebrand
walked and Annis got away with a
bunt towards first. Landry sacrificed
and both men advanced. Reichle
sent a long one far over the left field
er's head and both men scored. In
the third Reichle came to bat once
more and sent the elusive sphere far
out into the field for another two

short and Reichle scored. In the
fifth Reichle was again the hero

Teams Not Under Way.

Quincy Wing: The season of the
Central association is about a week
old and naturally the clubs have not
struck their stride to any extent, and
the showing can not be taken as indi-
cative of what can be expected. How
ever, some surprises have been sprung
already, notably that Of the four
straight victories without defeat at

Iowa and Northwestern tied in a
dual meet at Iowa City Saturday, each
team taking seven firsts. Captain
Stutsman Of Iowa City sent the discus

Rain in the four Central Associa-

scheduled for Saturday made it Inn
possible to play them as per schedule.
The grounds in every instance had
been drenched by the downpour
Manager Hugh Shannon had not fl
ed any protest with President Justice
at an early hour this morning. but it
lis thought that he will do so today.
A protest must be filed twenty-four
hours after the game has been played.
| In yesterdays game Bramble had
his curves well in hand and his fierce
breaks had the Ottumwa batsmen
guessing at all stages of the game.
A number of the hits made yester
day would have been caught had the
field been in good condition. It was
almost impossible for the outfielders
to cover any territory and numbe1

Game Called at $40.

The game on the opening day will
be called at $3.50 p. in. sharp. The
games on the week days the rest of
the season will be called at 3:45, but
there is so much red fire to be spilled
Monday that they want to get it going
sooner. The directors announce that
all the Sunday games this season will
be called at 3 p. m. In the past there
has been an occasional change of time
and it has led to confusion. This year
it will be three bells all the time and
the fans can govern themselves ac-
cordingly.

home grounds and the scenes are all
| set for one of the most elaborate send

request of the mayor anu the directors
of the baseball association many of
the stores have signified their inten-
ton of turning the clerks loose at 3
o'clock to attend the game and If the
weather man only does his part there
will be a full house in the stands and
/ bleachers when the umpire says "go."

/ Arrangements were completed this
morning for the big parade that is to
precede the opening of the game. The
parade will form at the City park and
