President OF ottumwa Club Thinks
That Packer Boss Has Il on
Other Mates in the Ma
tlonaI Game.
PAYS HIM A TRIBUTE
Ned Has Travelled Well the Pennant
Road Of 1910 season-Has Made
Hit With Generous Fans
Of the City.

OTTUMWA, Sept. 19.-To win your
spurs on the field OF organized baseball
these days, you must deliver the goods
in cargo lots. If there were royal
roads to any of the sciences. the street
to glory in organized baseban would
be the last one paved. That's why
when a baseball genius towers up
above us all, we stretch our necks for
a good look at him and wonder how he
did 1t and wherein lies the reason for
his success. Hard work and plenty OIL
1t is the answer ninety-nine times In
hundred, but In the case of e. F..
Egan, engineer of the well-oiled Speed
Boy machine, more than hard work en-
tiers into the causes for his success. A
splendid type of man is willy Ned
Anyone who knows him intimately,
and there are really few of us who do,
will readily say that he is splendid IN
all the word implies. To the mob of
bugs in this village who feel like they
know him intimately because of his
great work at the head of the Ottum-
wa club, Ned Egan has presented a
problem hard to solve All agree that
he is the best man Ottumwa has ever
had at the head of her baseball club,
but only a few of these are capable of
pointing out wherein he excels. One
of these few is President F. T. Lynch,
with whom, more than with any other
of the men at the head of the game in
Ottumwa this year, Manager Egan has
dealt the most. Mr.. Lynch's idea of
Manager E. F. Egan is something like
this.
"Egan is one who goes about his
business and looks out for the welfare
of the Speed Boys and himself. The
other seven clubs In the Central Assoc
citation never worry him. He gets out
with the Speed Boys and hits them
tantalizing ground balls, urging each
man to be on the job from taw APP
parently he is never excited. His ia
cial expression, whether his boys are
cantering out in front or are way to
the rear, remains the same.

Those figures represent Keokuk's

Before Sundays bargain day bill the
total figures were several hundred

league requirement. But more than
1000 people attended the games on
the final day, in addition to several
hundred children. SO that the goal was
reached with more than 1000 to spare.
The showing fans made on the closing
day is appreciated by the directors
and Manager Belt. for it showed that
the old time enthusiasm for baseball
has not gone.
Keokuk's playing during the past
two weeks of the Central Association
season far over-shadowed any other
feature in the league. II the last

lost only three games and closed the
season by seven straight victories

The baseball association is scraping
here and there for money today to
clean up the players salaries and
when they are disposed of there will
still be a debt left of a few hundred
dollars The directors are in meet
ing this afternoon to arrive at some
conclusion as to how it will be best
TO raise the necessary money. They
have $500 coming from Birmingham,
Ala, for the draft of Prough, and this
sum will help little. The bills which
confront the association are all local
ones.
A number of the players will leave
for their respective homes today,
while others will drift out during the

'1U EDUCATE THE
CHILD Delinquent
Mr.. o. E. DarnaIl Makes an Appeal
For Greatly Needed Legislation
For Their Benefit.
(By Associated Press.)

st. Louis, May 18.-In his presiden-
tial address to the National Confer
ence on the Education Of Backward.
Truant, Delinquent and Dependent
Children yesterday, Mr.. o. E. Darnall,
Superintendent of the National Train
ing School for Boys, in Washington,
d. c., made an appeal for country
wide agitation in favor of number
of bills now pending in Congress.
President Darnall said in part:
with the coming of Cain into the
home of Adam and Eve peculiar re-
sponsibility concerning mankind was
transferred from God to man. With
kind it has been found necessary that
this responsibility be shared by the
home (parents), society and govern
mental authority. At no time since
the birth of the first child, perhaps,
has so much stress been placed upon
the child, its rights and duties, as at
the present time, and in no country
in the world have such advance steps
been taken in the conservation of
childhood as in our own.
"The initiative in governmental
child-conserving work has usually
been taken by local governments. The
great interest taken in this work by
county and state governments being a
logical sequence.
GAS an individual is not only a citi-
zen of the local community in which
he claims his residence but citizen
of his county and state, he is also a
citizen of the United tates, and the
federal government must be and is in
terested in those things which make
for better citizenship. While our loo
al. county and state governments have
done most admirable work in all lines
looking to better, stronger and saner
citizenship growing out of properly
protected and directed childhood, we
should not underestimate what the
federal government has done, is do
ing, and we believe will do, for thi:
great class of our little citizens
There are some things which perhaps
the federal government cannot do be
cause of constitutional limitations, bu
there are in addition to what she ha
done many things which might b.
! done.
Congress wants to do the RICH
I thing. Perhaps what is needed the
is agitation-agitation along the lin
of needed legislation which will resul
in better citizenship by studying tn
child, it's interests and its relation t
the home, society and the govern
| ment.
