THE TEAM LOOKS GOOD


Jimmy Mcguire. scout for Cleve-
land, speaks IN very favorable terms
Of the Keokiik baseball team and likes
the work Of several Of the Indians. AS
stated in yesterdays Gate City the ex-
big Lacquer Is here to look over the
Indians. Quincy and Burlington and
will remain for about week.
Mcguire stated this morning to q
Gate City representative that yester-
days game was one that IA led to give
much OF line on the men and as he
was unable to see the teams practice
he was unable to say much concern
ing the individual work He liked the
works OF Corriden at bat and Ia the
field and from his talk he is going to
pay particular attention to Keokuks
thirdbaseman. Another man whom
he was particularly stuck on was Mil
Ter at first base and he had high words
Of praise for the ability Of this player
In the field. He was unable to Judge
Reichle because Of the few onportuni-
ties afforded the outfielder to pull OF
any stunts.
He stated that the Keokuk team Is
usually fast and many OF the players
may look to higher league II they
show any Improvement over their
present form. Many youngsters fall
down hopelessly he says when they
strike the major leagues and gradual
ly drift back to whence they came.
MCGUIRE says he will work out with
the pitchers next spring on the early
training trip and should he pick any
Of the Keokuk twirlers they will be
under able tutornge.
Cleveland will spend plenty Of
money this year In landing players
and Mcguire has . number from the
coast who are going to report.

martyrdom that can be inflicted on a
soldier: have felt all around me the
scorn Of the crowd; have suffered the
