are scoring very few runs ON the vii.

The Hannibal Courier Post calls
Keokuk the Cookies. Why the
name please?
Umpire Wright's voice has imprved
wonderfully since he was last here
sand the sounds which he utters are
now tiiscernible all over the lot.
Kraft and Burch engaged in nice
pitching duel and matters were about
even In that line. However Lyman was
the steadiest with men on bases.
There were nearly 500 fans at tho
game yesterday, the crowd being one
Of the largest that ever witnessed
Monday game during the season.
Eberts spoiled nice one OF Hide
brands which was labeled for al
least three sacks. He was playing
for It and captured it only after 1
nice run.
Several foul tips stopped only at
ter hitting the burly frame Of Pat
Wright. This did not bother him in
the least as he simply called foul,
strike" all the louder
Burlington was going wen until
they visited Keokuk. The Indians

have been easy pickings. Even OF
tumwa took them down the line.
That delayed steal Of Prout's In the
eighth inning was pretty affair. He
waited until Belt had gotten the ball
In his NIT and then liked for the bag.
Belt was 80 surprised that he made
poor throw to catch him and he was
safe mile.
Landry Is playing consistent ban
and his work in left field and his hit
ting have done much to assist Keokuk
In keeping from going backwards. A
good steady player like Jack does a
whole lot more than fan is led
70 believe. And then he bings the
ball, too
In speaking Of Reichle yesterday a
Hannibal player said: THAT center
fielder is too fast for this league and
without doubt is the best in the Cen
trail Association" Keokuk fans agree
unanimously with him in this state
ment.
Pat Wright worked to the satisfac-
ton Of the fans yesterday. Pat has
had lfttleA trouble lately, not from
his work, but his back. He slept in a
coach several days ago in the clothes
he wore while umpiring, not having
time to change before catching the
train. Foolishly he left the window
! open and dozed off to sleep. The re.
suit is that he has to go around with
plasters on his back.
Quincy Wing: The dope about the
| Waterloo champions is beginning to
bear fruit. Boyle will not remain out
I side OF the chrished circle much long
er and It IS not far guess to predict
/ that Boyle and Egan may yet have
their annual fight for the flag. Keo
kuk expects to keep up tho pace 1t Ii
going but slump is due taem accord
ing to past performances OF Other
teams that have been going so vel
this season and when 1t comes Bel
will have to keep hustling II he want.
to keep out Of the way OF at least two
or three teams below him.
Speaking OF the demonstration II
Keokuk Sunday evening the Quinc.
Herald says: What would Qiunc.
people think II a bunch OF fans should
go down to the depot to meet ths
team with brass band and show thei
Joy over winning series OF game
VITA rival team? Such thing i
very improbable owing to the presen
standing OF our team and bscaus
baseball enthusiasm has been slight
!. ~ chilled here lately. Yet there ar
! tOWup III LIE SCALi a aSSOSldllOl
where baseball Is just about the onl
thing worth talking about At Ket
kuk last night their victorious team
was welcomed in a most royal manner
Returning from Hannibal with tire
out of four games to their credit tn
Indians we're met at the station b
about thousand admirers who ha
turned out to welcome their boys wit
, the fiftieth Iowa state band. Ate
. due Celebration the players were cal
q ried up town on the shoulders Of e,
cited fans and there continued 70
some time. Although such a marke
demonstration is unnecessary, still
, would help our team wake up an
! keep local interest from dying dowI
