willie Thomas is not in the best of
shape from the blow he received on
the head at Monmouth
Belt is lucky to be able to pick up
such a player as Yeager He had to
sign the player, however. as the
rules this year provide that every
man playing must be under contract,

Keokuk's two errors yesterday re-
suited on one play. Miller sit to Nor
ris, who was playing third His
throw to first was ten feet over Mil
ler's head. The runner continued on to
second and Hughie threw. The ball
bounded into Sensenbach's glove in
plenty of time to catch the runner, but
the shortstop let it get away from
him.
Bresnahan went in as a pinch hit
ter in the seventh inning, but struck
out. He may be able to take part in

1t is thought that Prouga will cut

looks as if Drill has bunch
that will land around fourth,
fifth, or sixth place. The team
is not weak, but neither does 1t show
strength in any of tie positions. The
infeld is clever, but not exceptionally
fast, while the outfielders are consist

with true arm. but not hard peg.
