FIRST CANDIDATES
APPEAR IN FIELD
Charles OH. w. e. Slrimback j. F. Elder and John
Eisenhuth are First 10 Circulate Petl-
lions as the Law Requires.
HOSTILITIES HAVE BEEN OPENED
Many More Candidates will Come Forward
Within the Next Few Weeks, But Advice
IS for Them TO Move Rapidly.
POSSIBILITIES HAVE BEEN OPEN

Activities are beginning to bespeak
themselves In the coming political
fight which will be entirely new, novel
and interesting to the voters of Keo-
kuk, who in July voted to discard the
old staid form Of city government and
plunge into something new. Three
men have come forward within the
past few days and announce that they
are candidates for the office Of mayor,
while one appears to be content with
simply aspirations for the office OF
councilman. Two have been actively
engaged in politics during the past few
years, while two have not. However,
politics will be entirely thrown to the
four winds and party lines will pay
no prominent part. Here are the caadi-
dates for mayor, who have circulated
the petition that must be signed by
twenty-five voters, as required by law:
Candidates
Charles Off; present mayor of Keo-
kuk and former councilman from the
Fourth ward.
W. e. Strimback, ex-mayor and ex-
president of the board of education.
J. F. Elder. for many years associat-
ed with the Keokuk & Western rail-
road in this city.
For counciiman-John Else nhuth; !.
well known cigar manufacturer OF the
city, has come forward. s.
1t is expected that there will be a
merry competition on the part of strug-
Cling candidates in their aspirations
to these offices. The above list will
likely only be small per cent of the
number OF citizens who will come for
ward to run for the offices of mayor
and councilman, and they will be an
nounced daily, as they appear in the
field.
Primary on March 81.
The primary election will be held
on March 81, while the general cleo.
ton will be held On the. first Monday
in April Any person desiring to be-
come mayor or councilman shall at
least ten days prior to the primary
election file with the clerk a state
ment of his candidacy. Ten days be-
fore March 81, would be March II, so
1t can be seen that those aspiring to
the offices have but little more than
month In which to comply with this
law.
This statement must be sworn
one, in which the candidate says he
is qualified voter and is candidate
for the office to which he aspires; and
that he requests his name to be print
ed upon the official primary ballot for
nomination by such primary election
for such office At the same time he
must file herewith the petition Of at
least twenty-five qualified voters, re.
auesting such candidacy Each petition
thus made shall be verified by one or
more persons as to the qualifications
and residence, with street number OF
each of the persons so signing the pc.
tition.
Judges Of Election.
According to the law the judges Of
the general election shall be judges

CAPT. DAILY LOOKS OVER L|TCHFIELD
 FOOTBALL FIELD
Making Plans Already For Fall Workable Team May go
 to Gales Ferry.

Captain Fred Daly, of the Yale foot ball team, has just visited Litchfield to look over the ground in prepara- tion for the preliminary training of the football squad next September. Negotiations have been entered into for the use of the old golf course grounds north of the Litchf1eld Club and near the center of the village. The Litchfield club and the Firmen's courtesies of their buildings in case the squad goes to Litchfield and other in- ducements may be made.
 On the other hand at Gales Ferry, a citizen of Norwich has offered the use of field not far from the boat ing headquarters and a Yale graduate at New London has offered to go to the expense and trouble of smoothing the field and fitting it for the autumn practice Gales Ferry also offers to the squad boating and swimming fa- cilities not to be had at Litchfeld. On the question of air and weather Litchfield is regarded as much super for. Under these conditions the choice of the managers as between the two places is still temporarily undecided.
 The earlier plan of limiting the pre- liminary football squad to 15 or 20 men to try out the new football rules has been changed and the whole of the squad of last years leading play CTS remaining in the university will probably be called out at the middle of September. The best football play CTS of the incoming freshmen class will probably be also called upon to join the squad about a week later. The combined squads will number be- tween 50 and 60 men, besides coaches and managers.

PINCH HITTER NEARLY
 BROKE UP GAME

In beating the Princeton Tigers 4 to Saturday, the Yale nine sur prised great many of it's followers but those who have followed the team closely and know of it's possi- bilitles were not at all amazed that the Blue should triumph over the Orange and Black. After the first inning Saturday there was a certain steadiness that showed the team $ ability.
 The team is a fighting team and once 1t gets going against Princeton or Harvard. it will take better ball playing than Princeton showed in New Haven Saturday to stop it. At times, as was evident in the first in ming Saturday, the team plays that same careless second rate ball that has characterized nearly every game at the field this year. The Yale team has the ability to settle down after a disastrous inning and it has the fight to get out of deep baseball holes, all of which means that the chances for another championship coming to New Haven are not so few as appeared in the early season games.
 Princeton sent in a. pinch hitter in the person of Lackey in the final in- ming, who almost made trouble.

TOMMY DOWNEY
 TAKES THE CAKE

Tommy Downey will not go hungry fer a few Gays to come. Saturday a score or more friends of TCmmy's $ from this city were spectators at the Giant game at the Polo grounds, bringing with them a mann
 moth cake. The party included a number of members of the St. Jo- seph's T. l.. & B. society and quite a few employees of the railroad, mates of Downey's during the cold months All whooped things up at the Polo grounds. the cheering being led by Big Bilr' Brooks. Before the game, Downey was called aside, and pre- scented with large sized box by City Clerk Stephen F. Boucher. Downey did not Know whether the contents of the box were a pair of shoes, or boxing gloves, but on opening saw that it was a loaf of his favorite cake. Therein lies little story During the winter, Tommy was a guest at a number of parties given by lady friends. At these affairs, Tommy developed a fondness for a certain kind of cake. Within the last few weeks, a number of his lady friends got together and decided to make Tommy a cake, if they could get somebody to go down to the big city to make the presentation. City Clerk Boucher volunteered and that is how Tommy came to take the cake.

 San Francisco, June 6.-Sports are watching with keen interest the devel- opments that are sure to follow Jack Johnson's action in discharging his white manager, George Little, of Chi cago. putting Billy Nolan in charge of his affairs, and calling a squad of po- iicemen to hustle Little out of the training quarters.
 After his fight with Tommy Burns when he won the worlds champion ship. Johnson discharged Sam Fitz- patrick, the manager who had brought him to the top notch of the fighting profession. Little got the negro to sign a contract. which he says, will be upheld in court.
 drawn by one of the best lawyers in the country" he said. 'It provides that I shall receive 25 per cent. of all his profits and it is a contract that the courts will uphold. You can bet your last cent will fight this thing through and if I do not get my cut I will pre- vent that July fight
 Johnson has been sore on Little for some time and has been trying to find some excuse for getting rid of him. Sid Hart furnished the excuse. John son is very fond of Hart and has been taxing n1fn on long duIOTnOD1le r1OeS Yesterday Johnson sought to place Hart in charge Of the collection of tickets from those who wanted to see the training. There was a fight be- tween Hart and Little in which blows were struck and a brick thrown. Johnson called the police to whom Hart complained that he was afraid of Little. Johnson grandiloquently fred Little on the spot and had the police carry him away.
 It is probable Little will immediate ly institute legal proceedings to test

HARTFORD WON
 FROM MECHANICS WALLER WAS WILD

But one of Hartfords five hits fig ured in the run getting in the Sena- tor-Mechanic game in Hartford Sat urday. Waller. though he deadheaded eight batsmen would have won his game if he had anything like decent fielding behind him. On the other side Ivor Swanson was pitching kill ing game, the Mechanics with the ex- ception of Bobby Stowe and Hi Ladd, being unable to meet the ball. Ivor was using a cross fire underhand de- livery, which made short work of the league leaders. For the Mechanics in the field the work of Bobby Stowe and Pat McAuley featured. Hall eat up everything which came his way, while McAuley turned back three runners who attempted to make second. Sof- fel robbed Bridgeport of two hits in the seventh inning, drive which he stabbed with one hand off Miller's bat. and a pick up of McAuley's grasser. The score by innings:
 R H. E. Brid geport, O002 200 0 0 O-2-r5 Hartford, 1O02 2O11O -5-5-1
 Batteries: Waller and McAuley; Swanson and Wadleigh.

WOMEN TAKING
 UP POLO NOW
It's a Game in Which Experts Say the Fair Sex Should Excel

Women are taking up polo playing Heretofore this has been considered wholly d mans game.
 The Sea Girt and Spring Lake Coun- try Club of New Jersey will be the first to have a team of women play CTS. This will comprise members of the fashionable set in New York and Philadelphia.
 Polo players say there is no reason perts at the game, for it requires quickness and cleverness rather than strength.
 The game is played by two oppos- ing teams of four persons each: The object is for each team to drive the ball through the opponents goal.
 The game lasts an hour. This is divided into six periods of ten min utes, allowing a few minutes breath ing spell after each period.
 Much of the success of the player will depend upon her pony. The height of it must not exceed 14.2 hands. Ponies aged five years and upward can be measured and registered for life. and a good polo pony, one that turns easily and has a good temper, is worth a tidy sum.
 One must ride cross saddle to play a good game of polo. and experts like Eleanor Sears wear masculine brooches of corduroy or white duck hidden by a long coat of the same.
 Polo is played under rigid supervis- ion A field captain directs each team and dictates the plays. Questions which arise are discussed with a ref cree chosen by the two captains.
 To play the game a player must be a frst-class rider. Careless or dan- gerous horsemanship is forbidden Jostling or hitting a pony or causing. him to trip another pony means losing part of the score.
 While accidents will happen, the strictness of the rules makes them as rare as possible. The chief danger seems to be from the na1lets and not the ponies, and the rules governing the of these are equally strict. Players are forbidden to crook an ad-. versary's mallet except in certain well defined positions.
 Altogether it looks as if this were one more game in which a woman may win laurelS

LADD AND BOBBY STOWE DID GREAT STICK WORK
 DURING THE-PAST WEEK

The Mechanics did their best work of the season in the week just pass ed, running up five victories, one loss and one tie, doing better work than any other club in the league, and climbing from third place, to first, which is held by a comfortable lead. Anyway it will take g. few losses to pull us down from that peg.
 In most of the games the batters did effective work. ''Kid' Ladd was the most consistent hitter, slamming out ten hits in the seven games, making a jump in his average from 1901 to .327. Bobby Stowe was right on the heels of Ladd gathering nine hits, making a boost of 31 points. Hey broke into the game during the middle of the week, and by his work added IT points to his average. Riff" Bailey found the times hard. He did not connect in either of the games Monday, and also failed Sat urday. He made enough during the middle games to keep up with the

the strength of his contract with the negro. Some interesting developments are expected and some predict some dirty linen may be washed out if the affair gets to the point where Little starts to tell all he knows.
 Johnson has been flirting with Billy Nolan fo- several days and as soon as he had gotten rid of Little he announc- ed that Nolan would, in future. act as his business manager. Nolan con- firmed the statement and today took charge of the training camp. Nolan first came into prominence as man ager of Battling Nelson but was dis charged by the former lightweight champion.
 According to a message received here today from Sacramento. Governor Gill lett will take no hand in preventing the fight.
 'It doesn't matter how many peti- tions are sent to me- I shall do noth- ing until I am satisfied there has arisen a condition that calls for in- reference on the part of the Cover nor of California" he said.
 Governor Gil1ett admitted that he had said the fight was a, frame up'' but declared he said it in a casual con- versation and had no idea he was to be quoted.
 Johnson put in a hard day yesterday and showed in rare form He is down to PIP pounds and is fast as lightning, as was shown in his boxing with Cut Ter and Cotton.
 From Rowardennan comes glowing reports of Jeffries' present condition. The big fellow was in rare good humor yesterday and went through his train ing laughing and joking He did a lot of road and gym work yesterday and boxed three fast rounds with Choynski. A diversion in the camp was a boxing exhibition between Choynski and Corbett who are to ap- pear in fraternal order benefit in Frisco on June H.

 Hunters
Special from United Press.)

(SpeCIdl rom UnlCeQ HTeSS.)
 London, June 6.-The International horse show. with more than 1000 en- tries and $7O,0OO in prizes, opened at Olympia today. Colonel Roosevelt was to have presided at the opening but on account of the death of King Ed ward, all ceremonial was dispensed with.
 AS a society function, the show does not promise much owing to Edward $ death.
 The military horsemanship competi- tion, for which s25,OOO in prizes has been set aside, will be the leading event of the week. Ten nations, rep resented by 174 of their best riders, will compete in this event; 121 Eng lishmen, g Belgans, 8 Americans, 3 Italians, Norwegians, 3 Swedes, 3 Greeks, Russians and 3 Spaniards.
 Americans will make a special effort to win prizes in the competitions for carriage horses, trotters and hunters. In addition to the strictly bred Amer ican stock, Walter Winans the mil lionaire breeder now living in Eng land, has sent up 147 head from his establishment at Surrender Park, Kent. Judge Moore of New York has brought 60 fine animals across, c. M. Watson 20; E.. M. Wetherbee Il; J. M. Hartman, a big string of hacks 1; A. G. Vanderbilt and Pail Sorg coach ing teams, and Miss Loula Long, the lumber millionaire's daughter, a pet trotter all the way from Kansas City.
 Vanderbilt, Moore, Sorg and Winans will drive in the ''millionaire's Mara thon'' otherwise known as the coach ing marathon and the Corinthian cup of IA and miles respectively.

 This is the sentiment of practically the whole class and if the petition goes through it ought to reach Direc- tor Chittenden within a few days.
 Murfey was abiding strictly to the rules of training on the night of the rumpus and was sound asleep when the outbreak occurred.
 Director Chittenden was asked last night if there would be a change in his decision and he declared that so far as he was concerned the whole thing had been ended. which doubt less means that he personally will not raise the suspension on the athlete. Murfey lost his chance to win his ''Y'' Saturday as a result of the suspension, for he was slated to start the game in the box against the Tigers

PETITION TO
 AID MURPHY
Shelf Seniors Wrought up Over
 Punishment of Yale Pitcher

New Haven, June 6.-There is much regret among the members of the sen for class of the Sheffield Scientific School over the action of Director Rus sell H. Chittenden in suspending Spen- cer Murfey, the varsity pitcher. for the part he took, or rather did not take. in the celebration last Tuesday night at Savin Rock, in which ten members of the class were arrested and subsequently fined for creating a disturbance at the shore. It was re- ported last night that the members of the class will start a petition which would be presented to Director Chit tenden, asking that the suspension be raised and some lighter punishment ueted out A member of the class speaks his mind as follows:
 "The whole senior class in Shelf. think. feels that an injustice has been done Murfey, and there will be a movement soon in his interest We 1,robably will circulate a petition, for there is not a member in the class but who thinks that the punishment in withholding his degree from him this r17or1th. and cutting him out of base ball is altogether too severe. Murfey was not at the shore and in no way connected with the fuss there, but just because he was chairman of the supper committee, which had been warned not to go to the Rock, he is s,,suended just at a time that means more to him than anything in his
