Keokuk is Without ANY Of Them However, While Nearly
Every Other Club Has One More Who Cut Loose
With Vicious Swats-K erwin and SEVERED Best.

Cleanup hitters in the Central AS
ISOLATION this season are numerous,
but Keokuk is without any of them.
Last season Ed Reichle was the great
est cleanup swatter in the league,
but his failure to connect this year
has eliminated him from that select
group of long picklers.
Among this type of hitters are Kom-
mer OF Galesburg. Clarke of Burling.

game easy for Keokuk Catcher Shea

ribs and he caught all of the first
game under q disadvantage that was
apparent. In the second game he
dropped third strike on Pa Belt ana

two runs, the local backstop chucked
his big mitt to the ground and went
to the bench voluntarily. Ted Rains

Millers three base drive to left

thusiasm about the baseball situation
there. During the games local band
was engaged to furnish music. A
regular concert was given and even
during actual play soft strains could
be heard Rioters went wild when
Quincy was easily conquered in both
battles. 1t was Burlingtons first OPP

We have not heard much noise

be the fortunate one of the league.
Two players have been sold for just

has helped wonderfully.

self:

He charges that Pitcher Blue Jacket
of the Keokuk club parades falsely
under that name and taat his real
name is Smith. AS Smith in a West
ern league club he was suspended two
years ago and the suspension has
never been lifted. On this ground
the local manager has protested the
games that Blue Jacket won against
us.

Jacket will be able to see Three-Eye

plenished.)

Akers With Dubuque.

President Justice has received word
from Dubuque, stating that Pitcher
Earl Akers las signed a contract with
the Three-Eye league club and will be
used on the staff. Justice has not vet
rendered a decision in the protested
game matter and is waiting to lear
more from Galesburg.
Belts regard for $40 is the
only things that stands between Fresi-
dent Justice and a decision ordering
the Galesburg-Keokuk game of last
Friday, which was forfeited to the
Illinois city, played over. The boss
declares that he would not hesitate
for a moment ordering the games play
ed,over but for the fact that Belt allow
ed SO to stand between filling and
not filling the engagement. Justice
has not yet made his decision, but it
is likely that the game will have to be
played on some future date in Gales
burg.

The gray wolf shown IN the picture is
one of the animals found in the region
around the North Pole He does not live
all the time there. but single wolves often
wander far to the north. where they feed
on seals. fish, young animals or anything
they can get.
The gray wolf Is very beautiful animal
His coat is soft dark gray. slightly tinted
with fawn. with occasional black hairs. and
IL you look carefully at him you will notice
a long black line which grows straight
down tho middle OF his back. His lower
jaw. the edge of his upper lip and all the
under parts OF his body are pure milky
white, while his well shaped head. with It's
bright. keen eyes and sharp. outstanding
ears. Is nearly all gray.
The wolf has a remarkable way OF biting
quite different from other animals He
bites sharply, fercely and repeatedly. and
gives these little swapping bites with sueh
fury that sometimes, when he misses, mis-
laws come together with sound something
like that of q steel trap. He IS wonder
