Standing of Clubs

The pennant race in the Keokuk
Bowling Association received a shake.

on all three alleys of the city. Shoot
Ing with weakened team on their
own alleys the Keokuk Club picked up
Two out OF three from the remnants.
On the Drexel alleys the Olympians
won two from the Power City team.
On the Olympia alleys the Grand
Leaders shot well. polling two from
Wells. The standing underwent wide
revision. in addition to the changes
which gave the Grand Leaders tenn
porary hold on first place. it was nee
essary to award an extra game to the
Drexel team and take victory from
the Olympians. This was because the
Drexel squad failed to get benefit of
. handicap owing TO the keokuk
Clubs delay in bowling during the
first week OF play.

All the Fault Of Murphy.

IF the Chicago club, as claimed by
President Murphy, was unable to
send representative team, or a
team that was some semblance of is
regular team, the Ottumwa team
should have been so advised and
thereby offered the chance to call off
the game o. at least to notify the
public, thereby eliminating the fraud
ulent features of the transaction.
President Murphy's assertion that
some Of his players were disabled
and others required rest does not
clear his club of the charge Of mis-
representation.
THE commission hereby serves no
tice on all National Association clubs
that when major league club pre-
sents makeshift team for an exhib-
ition game. the proper course for a
minor league club to pursue is TO
cancel the games and apply TO the
commission for redress. If the
charge of fraud and injustice is sub
stantiated by evidence, damages will
be awarded for a sum not less than
the amount Of guarantee demanded
by the major league club for that
game"

CINCINNATI, O.. Nov. 2S-Because
brothers of John Evers and Arthur
Holman represented these players
when the Chicago National League
club played a. Ottumwa, Ia. on Sep
TENDER 9. the National Baseball Com
mission today fined the chicago club
5000. The claim of tie O,tumwa
management for damages was disal-
lowed because the home team al
lowed the game to go on and profited
by it. The commissions findings say
in part:
The attention of the commission
was called 20 this case by Mr.. F. T.
Lynch, president of the Ottumwa
club. He charges that tat club and
its patrons were deliberately duped
by the Chicago Nationa, league club
and that the prices OF >rmission on
the assurances that the Chicago club
would send their best line up that
Manager Chance could custer, were
fixed at 81 and s1.25 each. The Chi
cago club, which was offered $500
guarantee, with the privilege of 80
per cent of the gross receipts, was
paid s150o as It's part of the receipts.
President Lynch states that many
persons travelled over 100 miles in
the expectation of seeing Chicago's
star PLAYERS and that the patrons were
indignant on discovering that the
Chicago club worked many substi-
tutes.. 1t also developed that, in
stead of John Evers and Arthur Hof-
man being on the field. each of these
famous players was impersonated by
a younger brother. without even min
or league baseball ability.
The Ottumwa club submitted in
its testimony photograph of
page of the register of the hotel at
Ottumwa on which the names of the
Chicago party appeared in the same
handwriting Among these names are
]. Fvers and A. Holman, neither of
whom was in The city. The clerk of
the hotel sends a sworn statement
that the names were entered on the
register by the representative of the
Chicago club. This false registration
corroborates the charge of the Ottum-
wa club that the Chicago club was
gully of gross Misrepresentation.

column in local special privilege
organ to tell how the Spokane
Scandinavian Republican club
members had repudiated the form
er endorsement of Poindexter and
had now declared for Ashton.
The only trouble with the state
ment is that it was absolutely
false.
Following the announcement of
the Tacoma organ of Ashton and
special prdvilage the Spokane club
got busy. A special meeting was
called and the endorsement of
PoindeXter was made so emphatic
that there is no doubt about it.

Believes Taft Failure.
Colonel Roosevelt has been
back I'm the country since June 18,
a little over two months. He
evidently has made up his mind
that President Taft is a failure.
He finds that the policies entrust-
ed to Taft have been betrayed
and that Taft has been president
solely for big business. The only
people who are standing for the
Roosevelt policies are the insur-
gents and progressives, the people
whom Taft has been busily trying

these people and their policies.
