SAY THEY KNOCKED HIM
Laborins Under the Impression That
Both Became Prejudiced Against
Him Because Of Hannibal
Decision.

Umpire Talbot, the pugilistic look
ing indicator man who declared balls
and strikes in the Central Associa-
ton until relieved of his job yesterday
by President Justice, was on the war
path last night in Keokuk. He was
aching to mix and according to re-
ports the names of Manager Belt and
Jack Herbert were mentioned as pos
sible candidates for a short go in the
squared ring.
Talbot blew in during the day and
was peeved in general because he
was no longer an umpire. He broke
into bunch of fans and ball players
and expressed himself as looking for
either Belt or Jack Herbert, declaring
they had knocked on him to the league
boss. According to the story he
even drew an imaginary ring and in
vited either of the two aforesaid
gents to step within the squared circle
for about three minutes. Belt was
not around, but Herbert was within
hailing distance. He did not hear the
arguments, however, and friends hur-
riedly ushered him from the vicinity
for fear the two big fellows might
lower themselves enough to settle the
argument.
Talbot is laboring under the I'M
preston that Belt registered a kick
because of decision at Hannibal
which lost the game for the Indians
1t was in that sixteen inning game
Bresnahan was safe at home on the
squeeze play when Evans dropped the
ball, which rolled some distance
from the plate, but Talbot declared
him out, according to the players. HI
! refused to change his decision, which
had the result Of prolonging the con
/ test and dropping 1t to the Cans.
| Justice had five un1pires on his
i staff and believed that four was
{! enough for the rest of the season
He was forced to cut some one In
order to curtail expenses and Talbot
/ was the man to go. But neither Bel
nor Herbert registered any complaint

WHAT A PLAYER SAYS
Declares that over Anxiety and an
Effort to Make Good With
Bugs is Causing Downfall
"A Few Examples.

The goat" of the Keokuk baseball
team is possessed by Keokuk fans.
Players declare that this is. respon-
sible for the poor showing the club
has been making at home as against
the high class article of ball delivered
during the road rip, when the Indians
engaged in so many close and extra
inning games.
One OF the infielders was speaking
of the situation last night. He said:
The youngsters are simply too nerv-
Gus and too eager. In front of the fans
they are over anxious and are self
conscious to disastrous degree. They
fear mistakes, while on the road they
go after everything with confident
manner that should bring success. The
sum and substance of the situation is
this: that Hubinger park crowd has
gotten our goat and until the luck
breaks, there nothing to it."
For the first time since the slump
| it is believed the situation has been
solved. The above words nave a true
ring and study of future games will
show it. Take Bresnahan for in
stance. That lad has future in the
game. But he made several costly
| hobbies; the crowd yelled rotten and
the stuff was Off, Knowing the crowd
was on his heels he was anxious to
avoid mistakes and that anxiety is
just what is causing additional errors.
Look at Reichle at the bat For a
/ time games were lost by the team s
I failure to hit in critical times. Reichle
knew this and he tried to make good
with the fans yelping for hit. In his
eagerness he has been led to Strike
at wild ones, and invariably fails to
meet the ball squarely. 1t is tire same
with Collins and with several other
players. Last year Reichle was going

that supreme confidence which plac

strong points, rather than plugging ur

(! Keokuk team is composed of the besi

and sane method of advancing a base

MANY Scratch Hits.

Scoring the game was just like
Joy ride for the newspaper men.
Nearly every ball hit was touched by
a player on either side and it was up
to the pencil pushers to decide wheth-
er it looked too fast. or too slow:
took bad hop or had any others of
the many difficulties which might lead
to the belief that they were hits. Not
a difficult chance in the entire game
was accepted and both teams missed
six chances each. which easily should
have been smothered.
pa Belt behind the bat, had a
couple when he threw ten feet over
Miller's head and later camped under
a high foul only to miss i. when de-
scending. Collins had an excusable
boot at second on Blue Jackets throw.
while both Blue Jacket and Patrick
made wild heaves to first and Jack
Herbert at first failed on an easy
chance. Besides these mishaps there
we're number of hone-headed plays
which are not recorded on paper.

Back With Patrick.

Belt took occasion to usher from
under cover Pitcher Patrick. but he
ushered him right back to a secluded
spot in the sixth inning, after the
game had been apparently lost. Pat
rick was wild and was hit hard and
opportunity. Evidently he is N no
condition to twirl. Blue Jacket went
to the relief and held the visitors
safe during the last rounds, while
Keokuk worked hard to pull out of
the hole
Dear old Rusty" Owens was on
the mound and fans would surely have
thrown a fit had the fire-topped finger
been able to annex a victory against
the pets. And for a time it looked as
IL he was going to do it. When ke-
vance scored four runs in the sixth,
following the most helpless ball seen
on the local grounds this season, it
certainly looked like he would shove
home the doughnuts. Keokuk came
back with two in their half of
the sixth and then found Owens again
in tie eighth for four hits which
clincned the game.

to the firing line and hurled one to

ball passed true to the base, but Col
Inns had hard luck in that he was in
terferred with by the runner. The
ball passed out into the field and
