ei a contest on the St Louis election,
serves only TO more strongly convince
the honest voters of all parties
throughout the state that there IS
something extremely rotten IN the
Republican majority in that city.
The threats Of Governor Hadley
and his friends to retaliate by contest
ing in Democratic strongholds, be-
sides overshooting the mark intend
ed. are disgusting and ridiculous
Democrats are no; at all frightened
By prospects Of contest in any 10
cality in the state, but rather would
welcome a thorough exposure oy
which a public comparison might De
made Of the methods used BY the two
parties in their respective strong
holds.

Possibly the most glaring weak
ness that is manifesting itself in the
keokuk team Is the inability of the
outfielder to hit the ball. The inf1eld
has been holding up in great shape,
but the outer garden men have found
much difficulty during the past
month in connecting with the sphere.
Reichle has slumped until he is
batting but little more than 200.
This is surely unusual for the big fell
low, who usually hovers around the
800 mark. The exact cause for his
slump is hard to determine. His
weak knee for time had something
to do with it, and then again he was
pounding them in hard luck During
the last series in Keokuk Reichle hit
direct into someone's waiting mitts
on every and all occasions.
The coming averages will show Hill
debrand in all probability under the
200 mark. This is very weak for an

yesterday against the Redskins from
the Damtown and while his thinks
were cracked freely he got away with
his first game and first victory very
successfully, thanks to some sensa-
tional work in the out and infield.
Dutchman Irmischer was the especial
ally bright star of the fielding portion
of the game, going in up to his heck
and pulling them into the first
sacker's mitt with ease. Derby didn't
grant many liberties with the bags
populated and so he pocketed the
long section of the 4 to score.
Derby is the right handler who Sc
cured his release from Terre Haute.
He comes with high record and con-
sequently when Mr.. Eddinger with his
sweet staccato-pedaled voice essayed
to announce that he would be the

please the fans immensely. Now Der
