FLEA RACE FOR
NJ |hERNy PRIZE
Small Boats Will Race Over the
Same Course as Last
Sunday.

The small boat game is booming
worse than ever. There will be an
other race next Sunday over the same
course as last Sunday and the same
boats will be in it. There will be some
handicapping, should the weather prove
to be the same as last Sunday, which
will make it trife easier for the
Papoose and Galloplng Mary.
Will McInerny has kindly offered
prize for this race. The lucky skipper
who wins will get an order on the Me
lnerny shoe store for pair of yachting
shoes. The winner will appreciate those
same shoes, one of these days, when his
bare footed crew yowls about the hot
deck burning the soles off both feet.
Several changes and improvements
are being made in the wrens. Spread
ers, both side and fore are being ar
ranged for. The Dancing Sally will
have a metal combination with forged
split ring to bolt round the mast
spreaders for Mast Stays.
The owners of wrens that are nearly
completed have also taken up the idea
able that all the wrens will have spread
ers to keep their masts from buckling.
Last Sunday it was noticed that both
the Sally and Mary had badly buckled
masts on the work to windward. Espe-
eialiy the Sally had a bow in her stick
that would have made true curve for
any engineer.
The Galloping Mary will try wood
en- fore-spreader next Sunday. If this
works well, she will probably take on
the metal sticks that are being used
by the others Too much metal aloft is
to be deprecated and it seems probable
that a light oak stick is better than an
iron rod.
Centerboard Talk.
On the matter of centerboards there
is much discussion and figuring. The
wrens have wooden boards while the
Pearl class boats have metal boards.
It is claimed that the iron boards drop
more easily and have give and sway
to them on the wind, which enables
the boat to work faster to windward
The Galloping Mary has obtained pos
session of a fine piece of boiler plate
which is being cut into shape and will
be used as centerboard next Sunday.
It will be interesting to see whether
she does better work with the metal
board than with the wooden one.
Another Pearl class boat was ordered
Yesterday and has been promised for
week from Sunday, in time to get in
the race on that date. Mr.. Hebeler, an
English visitor, is the purchaser and
he is very enthusiastic about small boat
racing. He sailed in the last two races
on the Galloping Mary and has ordered
one of the Pearl class boats as he
wants to get in the game as soon as
possible.
The Ivy is haing her tiller fixed and
a larger iib made so that she will keep
off the wind. The Pearl, whose fore
stay gave way last Sunday, viii prob
ably have a short bowsprit added and
a new mainsail Her old mainsail sets
well, but is too taut on the after leach
and the batten idea will probably be
followed out in constructing the new
sail.

BELT LOOKS TO
FAST OUTFIELD.
Important Announcement That Ed.
Relchlc is to Return to Indians
is Reason for
Joy.
A FAST COMBINATION
Therein Will Lie Much OF the Indians
Strength In the Coming
ARRAY In Central
Association.

With the announcement Sunday
morning by The Gate City that Presi-
dent Hedges of the st. Louis Browns
has decided to turn back Outfielder
Ed. Reichle, Manager Frank Belt was
induced to make the boast that the
Keokuk o.tfield will likely be the best
he has ever signed and herein will lie
the Indians strength.
Ed Reichle will be in the center
garden with Griffin, of Emporium.
Kansas, Vasbinder OF Tindale, South
Dakota, and Eildebrand, who cavort-
ed in the right field during the great
err part Of last season Belt is COM
municating with several other fast
men and steady Jack Landry will be
back in the fold to work out against
the youngsters.
That combination of FIVE players
probably represents the best talent
Keokuk has ever had for an outfield,
both as fielding players and hitters.
Of course Hildebrand is counted on
to move better than he did last year
and everything taken together leads
to the belief that he will 1t was
demonstrated in the Central Associa-
ton what fast outfield could do ana
for this reason fans will be pleased to
learn that Belt is taking the right
steps to secure good men for the gar.
den positions.
As yet he is unable to announce the
catcher who is to do the receiving,
but you can ber that when he does
land on a man he will fill the bill.
