The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-05-26

Rain interferred with games in the
Central Association yesterday and all
Of the teams were idle. The Keokuk
Indians reached Kewanee and remain
ed idle during the day. PA" Belt and
has men had been inactive on the pre-
ceding day and the rest was not alto
gether welcome one.
Jepson, the big southpaw, twirler,
who left Keokuk yesterday morning
reported at Kewanee and his
appearance was source of rejoicing
on the part of Manager Belt and his
players. with the team on the road
for Ave games yet the addition OF the
big twirler will be felt and the team is
now well fortified to take care OF the
remaining games. After the game
today and one tomorrow at Kewanee
the team will go to Burlington for
three more easy games and will then
return home. Keokuk won two out of
the three games Of the Burlington Keo-
kuk series at home and the team
should be at least able to duplicate the
feat on the road.
With Keokulx. Hannibal and Quincy
playing great ball many of the other
managers are making great effort to
add strength to their teams before the
season is well under way. Keokuk will
not need any more players this season
unless some unlocked for accident
happens.

Fierce From start.

The principals took the mat at
about $3.50 or little later, and the
fiercest grueling match ever witnessed
in Quincy, or probably any place else,
began from the call of time and con-
tinued till the men were separated at
/ o'clock, the referee finding it neces-
sary to take on small bout with Mil
Ter on the side before he had the little
wdlirlwind stopped at that Bartl dis
played the greatest defensive ability
that can well be imagined and resisted
the rushes of Miller successfully hun
dreds of times, the onslaughts being
something in the nature Of that given
by battering ram. Bartl was game
to the core and with strength fast ebb-
ing he fought his antagonist off with
every art and vile Of tae game. Mil
Ter was the aggressor the greater part
of the time and during the last hour or
SO was after Bartl like tiger at every
step, rushing him every instant, CIV
ing him not a minutes rst at any
time. The men were scarcely ever
en- their feet, and when they were it
was only for a few moments at a
time, one or the other bringing his op-
poncnt 10 the mat by well executed
maneuver.

Sporting Tips.
Rain again yesterday.

Tough luck to have rain spoil our
victories just when game is worth so
much.
Lundin the former Keokuk twirler,
but this season with Quincy, is evil
IDENTIFY back number and his rusti-
eating arm has taken great slump of
late. Quincy has let him go to the
Wisconsin-Illinois league and he will
join the Rockford club. Lundin has
not been in form this season.
Ned Egan realizes that with the
present team he has in the Central
Association fourth place will be his
limit. For this reason he is making
rapid changes end expects to strength
en- up a bit. In addition to the change
in catchers as announced yesterday he
has released Centerfielder Cook and
his place will be filed by Tommy
Copeland. Copeland originally play.
ed with Jacksonville and last year was
member of the Kewnee team. Cope
land is no great star for an outfielder
for as we glance at his record find that
he batted only .223 last season, made
90 sacrifice hits and stole IL bases. In
the field be was sixth with percent

Cotton Rates High.

On behalf of the Railroad Commits
sion it has been shown that the ex-
listing rates on cotton are higher in
many instances than upon any other
commodity,
AS an argument to show that cot
ton has been classified too high it
has been pointed out that hay, which
takes a much lower rate, has greater
bulk; that turpentine which has a
much lower rate, is more combustiblc,
and that the risk is not great enough
to make the insurance more than an
any two points in the State while in
transit.

THE occasion was the first ami
versary of the death of the greatest
statesman Tennessee or the South
has produced within the last half cen
tury. November 9th, 1908, at o'clock,
Robin Cooper. aided and abetted by
his father Col. Duncan Cooper, fired
in cold blood the shot that sent an
unpurchaseable soul on its long jour
ney home. Nashville streets ran red
with a martyrs blood.
The exercises held yesterday were
tions, the flower that stood for purity
and protection in a campaign where
the emblem of innocence was con-
verted into the saloons symbol, were
strewn over the lowly mound that
holds the last remains of lofty citi-
zen. Appropriate words were said by
Rev. A. G. Dinwiddie, Elder W. 7
Boaz and others: inspired music was
rendered. and songs sung; tears OF
genuine sorrow were left to glisten or
the desolate home of the dead-and
then the cayalcade wound its sorrowfu
way back to the busy marts of life
leaving the rest to Justice and tt
God.
