Keokuk and Hannibal are closely
punched In the pennant race although
Belts men have quite margin yet.
Jack Darrah Of Waterloo has gone
to Topeka, Kansas, where he has been
signed to try out with the western
league Of that city.

are winning the majority OF their
games because OF this fact. Yesterday

sibly for two or three days. He has
been sick for several weeks and Belt

two.
Two of the hits OF Prough were
quite scratchy. One was a difficult
chance for Reichle after a hard run
and the other was hot one knocked
down by Oyler.
