MILLER PROVED
BETTER THAN BARTL
Lost First Fall to Quincy Man, But
Captured the Second and Third
Encounters.

QUINCY. ILL.,. June Although
defeated in his desperate effort to
once more grapple his way to the 150-
pound championship of the world.
Fred Bartl of this city is not discour-
aged, and states that losing two falls
out of three to Walter ("Young'') Mil.
Ter, of st. Paul. last night, is not the
death knell of his hopes to ultimately
win back the honors
The match was one OF the best ever
seen in Quincy, and to say that the
enthusiasm exceeded all bounds is
hardly giving the large audience pres
ent their full due for the spirit dis
played. From the time the men hit
the mat in the first fall until Bartps
shoulders were pinned second time
to the floor there was not a moment
when the spectators were not on the

qui viye of excitement and expecta-
ton. Each wrestler tore into the
other with a furore and dash that
made 1t impossible for the referee to
keep out Of the way at times.
Bartl on Defensive.
Had Bartl played on the defensive
as he did in the last match here, he
might have stayed all night with his
opponent and not been pinned down,
tnt he was out to win and take
chances to do SO, even IL he had to
lose in taking those chances. And
when the match was finished and Mil
Ter declared the winner, there was not
spectator in the house who did not
accord to Bartl all the credit that his
strenuous efforts deserved. At the
same time the audience applauded
Miller and showed that true apprecia-
ton OF worth could be shown even
when their favorite had been hum
5led by defeat. In fact, the senti-
ment was quite evenly divided at the
end Of the match, although when
Bartl took the first fall the roar was
rnthing less than deafening and ex.
-ceedcd the applause ever given any
wrestler in Quincy for any feat Of
strength or skill.

Sporting Tips
ottumwa today for the first Of a -four

ottumwa today for the first Of four
game series.
Blue Jacket is slated for session
this afternoon. Prough will be on the
mound tomorrow.
Burch was worked out Of a turn at
Carthage yesterday and will not have
an inning until probably the last game
OF the Ottumwa series.
Sam Grodnick gave the Spaulding
q long ride on two occasions at Car
thage, the second sacker having his
batting toys on for the benefit Of the
Illinois fans.
Cold weather put crimp in tn.
national game at Chicago yesterday.
This is something quite unusual this
time Of year, having a game postpon-
ed on account Of cold spell.
Roy Cannon, who was one Of Jack
sonville's leading pitchers last season,
has been released by Waterloo. He
played with Jacksonville this season
until released and then Boyle picked
him up.
The fanettes of Keokuk had an in
ming today, this being ladies' day at
the baseball park. The baseball
players enjoy the fair sex as much as
the fair sex enjoy watching them play
and good game usually results on
Tuesdays and Fridays.
The Ottumwa team has gained the
name of -hitless wonders because Of
the weak hitting of the team The
pitchers are working well and the
team is fielding the ball accurately,
but hits when bingles are needed are
few and far between for the men OF
Hugh shannon's aggregation.
It's well, Mr.. Schedule Maker, that
Keokuk is at home with Ottumwa to-
day instead Of being at the Packer
City. The high water of the Des
Moines stream, which has the Myrtle
street ball park hid by at least two
feet, has driven the fans to the. West
End park which is not entirely free
of water. Perfect fielding is almost
| impossible.
Champion Frank Gotch defeated
Tom Jenkins, former champion Of the
world, in two straight falls at Des
Moines last night Gotch won the
first fall in IA minutes, Is seconds,
and the second in Z minutes and SO
seconds. jenkins was no match for
the present champion and was clearly
outclassed at every stage of the game.
Gotch overcame every hold of the
Cleveland man by sheer strength.
"Chick" Kirk made his appearance
this week at Waterloo and will take
part in the games this week. He will
join the team at Quincy tomorrow and
will be ready to relieve Searles II

Whatever stiffness the Indians had
In their muscles and joints previous
to yesterday afternoon was certainly
worked out at Carthage when RUDE
Burch led the Red Skins to a IL to
victory and the manner in which
"Pa" Belts men romped the bases
made Hancock county people think
the visitors were big leaguers.
The game was played on the old
baseball grounds near Carthage Col.
lege, SO familiar to many Keokuk
ball players. In addition to many
people from Carthage, there we're
quite number from nearby vicinity,
the attendance being several hundred.
Even IL the home team did lose, the
fans and fanettes applauded many of
the good plays of Keokuk and seemed
to enjoy the sport hugely. Sam
Grodnick's long hits, both Of them 60
ing over a barbed wire fence in the
far outfield, were among the longest
ever made on the Carthage grounds,
but Sam took things easy and made
only three bases on each Of the hits.
Had he been playing the Central As
ISOLATION parks the two drives would
have been good for home runs.
RUDE was given an opportunity of
extending his rustication arm to the
limit and the manner in which he was
heaving them over was complete
puzzle tQY the Carthag But
three hits were made off his delivery
and his algebraio slants proved too
mysterious for solution.
The Keokuk team lined up the
same as in championship game with
Wilson doing the receiving. Every
man on the team took a healthy swat
at the ball and the Carthage outfeld-
ers were sent on many merry chase.
Loose playing on the part of the Car
thage men was responsible for num-
Der OF Keokuk's runs.
During the game Carthage got one
man around the circuit, wild heave
by Hildebrand from right field allow
ing him to score. With this excep-
ton Keokuk held the home team to
an air tight game on their part.
The outing was good one and will
do the team good. Blue Jacket and
Prough remained at home, the former
to work today and Trough tomorrow.
