Quincy is destined to sink little

the Indians would not be very far
from the top. Worse things than that
have often happened in baseball.
The Keokuk team appears to be 60
ing well at the present time and the
players are fighting hard for victories.
The team has been hitting the ball
up to it's usual stride.
Billy Earle, two years ago for few
few weeks manager of the Ottumwa
team, is plotting the Battle Creek

to realize that an ideal circuit could
be composed of Decatur, Springfield,
Danville and Quincy on the south, and
Bloomington, Peoria, Davenport and
Rock Island on the north Waterloo

some league further north. Decatur

GALESBURG, H., June 22.-Keo-
kuk walked off with the last
game of the series Tuesday in fash
ion that was somewhat smooth, but in
doubt until the last man was down.
The pastime endured for ten innings
and Pitcher Jaeger's long hit to the
right field fence for three bases hand-
cuffed our natives for the rest OF the
going. That long swat of Jaeger's
sent Hildebrand and Cavanaugh In
and made the final count to l.
Keokuk was the first to score and
it looked like one to nothing battle
for long time. Their first run came
in the fourth inning, After Reichle
was out Bresnanan hit safe to center
field and promptly stole second. Hill
debrand fouled to Catcher Shea for the
second out and Cavanaugh's swat
went hard at Pitcher Hallman. drib
bled through him to Sensenbach, who
nursed 1t for a minute and seeing he
was too late to get the runner at first
chucked to third to catch Bresnahar
off some twelve feet. Bresnahan re
allied he was caught fiat-footed ane
went the other way and Blausser's
peg to the plate caught him square OF
the coco and rolled out of reach of thu
fielders.

Poor Base-Runnins Helped.

Galesburg went eight innings before
the score was tied and poor base-run-
ming made them only tie 1t. Hallman
led off with q two-base drive to left
center, and after Blausser had flied
out to center, Kommers walloped the
pill to the right field fence for two
bases, scoring Hallman. In an effort
to stretch it Kompners was thrown out
at third, and Nickel ended the inning.
In the sixth the locals had a nice
chance to score and threw it away.
Fitzpatrick hit clean between third
and short and Sensenbach raped
the ball to left and close to
the foul line for two bases With two
out Fitzpatrick would not take single
chance and Keokuk's doing it with

There is to be a Commercial league
meeting tomorrow night for the pur-
pose of discussing the present situa.
ton in the league. Several of the
teams have refused to go to Hamilton
and play. The thing which holds the
Illinois club in the league is the at
tendance, officers believing that with
Hamilton the league could finish with
a nice surplus in the treasury What
will be done is problemetic. as few
suggestions have been as yet offered.
The Keokuk golf team is picked as
the favorite for the tri city match to
be played here on next Saturday, and
in which Burlington, Quincy and Keo-
kuk will compete Members of the
local team have been going well Of
late and none of the six players should
go over as. The play will be in threes
one player from each town going out
together.
Kent, Ottumwa's pitcher, showed
reversal of form for the better yes
| terday. He held Hannibal to one hit.
Quincy Wing: President Hofer does
not intend to abide by the decision of
President Justice regarding the Barn
grover-Smith matter in the opening
game at Burlington, which has been
thrown out He has taken it UP with
the directors of the league and Sec.
rotary Farrell, of the National asso-
citation. He holds that he was not
aware that Barngrover was playing,
under anything else other than his
own name and that he was not allow
ed to play after the difference was
learned. He sent copies of kilograms
to the directors last night which stat
ed that the player was a free agent
at the time he was signed here. They
were received from Des Moincs.
Prof. Koelnamberg, the noted psy-
chologist, has made study of the
genus fan and has given his learned
opinion that knocking" on team is
not an accomplishment or an out
burst Of soreness because the team
is losing, but a disease closely re-
lated in its symptoms to melancholia
and hypochondria. In his scientific
verbiage he defines it as state of
heautontimorumenosity. The afflict-
ed will develop fit of hypochondri-
asis even if the team is winning, an
error that does no harm, being as ag-
gravating as the game lost. He pre-

Narrow Escape.

Mr.. M. N. Rice, of the Buford's
bridge section, was in the city Mon
day and told us of how narrowly he
escaped losing his gin house by fire
last Sunday morning. During Satur-
day several people smelled smoke
about the building, but could not To-
cate it. Early Sunday morning,
however, smoke was seen coimng
from the upper story of the house,
and quick investigation showed the
fire to be in pile of seed cotton, and
at the time of discovery the flames
were reaching the wooden, walls of
the building. The farm bell of the
plantation was at once rung as an
alarm and soon a crowd gathered and
by hard work the fire was put out
with the damage of only few hun
dred pounds of seed cotton burned.
1t is fortunate that the fire was dis
covered when it was, for if it had
been five minutes later the wooden
walls of the house would have been
burning and it would have been i'm
possible to have saved anything.
While the fire had been burning since
Friday night it was down in pile
of seed cotton picked during the day
and burned slowly. 1t started from
some negro women smoking while
picking cotton. Mr.. Rice had about
ninety bales of cotton in the gin
house, as we'll as farming implements
