NEW PLAYERS ON STRING
Has Already Signed Jack Herbert,
Peppery Player OF jackson
vile cIub-Four Players
are to Go.

At least four members of the pres
ent Keokuk team are due for the
blue slip within the next forty-eight
hours. Manager Belt is going to
strengthen up again and to do SO he
will add pitcher, two inf1elders and
two outfielders.
Already one new player has been
signed, and Belt is in communica-
ton with the other four with the
hopes of being able to close negotia-
tons Immediately. The new man is
Jack Herbert, who has been playing
the outfield for Jacksonville In the
Northern Association. He is regarded
as the. best outfielder in that league
and is strong hitter. He will report
in Burlington tomorrow morning.
Jacksonville was forced to cut
down its salary list and, wanted to
knock off SIS per month from Her
bert's salary as starter. The player
baked at this and Jacksonville has
consented to be fair with him by CIV
ing him his release.
How Dope Looks.
There is no lodging the issue Belt
has one of the weakest clubs in the
Central association at the present
time. Hildebrand and Regis, the two
outfielders, are certain to be disposed
Of before tho week is over and Belt
will no doubt be able to place them
Hildebrand has failed to show inn
provement in his hitting, while Reggl
is a good ball player but not of ths
championship caliber. If Belt is to win
games he realizes that he must have
players who have speed. can hit the
ball and field. Many opportunities
have been lost recently by failure Of
the outfielders to hit, especially In
pinches.
Who will be disposed of in the in
field depends upon what players Belt
! is able to secure. 1t is believed that
Airing is to go, and the other posi-
ton remains between Breshnahan and
Grodnick, with Bresnahan slightly ia
vored to remain on the club. 1t is his
hitting that gives him the shade.
Is No Closing With Pitcher.
Belt is closing negotiations today
with pitcher well known in the Cen
trail Association, and who is star.
He went from this league to the
Three-Eye and Is now free agent.
Whether Belt will release one of his
present staff is uncertain. 1t may be
that he will carry five twirlers.
Keokuk has had more men left on
bases than any club in the league.
I The players have simply been unable
to clout the ball, especially when hits
meant runs. That alone tells the story
of many defeats. Neither have mem
/ bers of the team shown any unusual
4 fielding ability.
Manager Belt has the interest OF
Keokuk fans at heart and is striving
in every possible way to bolster W
the club. He has been after players
for month past, but this is a hard
time to get them. The ones he will
now secure are stars of the Northern
Association which is about all ~

AFTERMATH OF
c. A. Meeting
Some Real Work Was Done Yester-
day and Netting is Being Gen.
orally Discussed by
Baseball Men.
BURLINGToN'S
CASE
It is Hardly Likely That the City viii
Give up cause-city Would
Have Time Finding Way
to Another League.

Nearly a score of Central Associa
ton magnates dragged themselves
homeward from Keokuk yesterday
feeling that they had attended the
best midsummer meeting ever held in
the league.
1t was a great bunch Of baseball
men gathered at the Hotel Keokuk.
All we're prosperous looking and
spoke well for organized ball in the
several cities of the circuit And it
developed during the meeting THAI
they possessed keen sense of bust
ness baseball, for not an action taken
can be censured.
There is general rejoicing that the
matter of protested games has been
disposed of to the satisfaction of all,
and now justice will be melted out
swiftly. President Justice has been
empowered to render his decision in
all protested games, and his word will
be final.
Baseball talk today was all about
Burlington and the PROBABILITY of that
CITY retaining It's 1uSlubtl snip III ehS
league. 1t is not thought that Bur-
lington will submit to the humila-
ton of having its club ousted and fans
denied baseball during the summer
months. Burlington would have a
hard time finding her way into an
other league. That is beyond all
doubt. The city's history does not
argue any too well for the game. The
Three Eye league would scorn any
idea Of application, and there is no
other league that looks good in this
section. But it is believed that Bur
lington fans will come to the rescue.
President Justice has wired Musca-
tine requesting that city 10 hold on
for ten days, by which time defin-
lite answer will be voiced by Bur-
lington. From expressions of direc-
tors present at the league meeting
Muscatine is regarded as a strong
city for the berth, and several even
intimated that the city would be much
better right now for the Central AS
ISOLATION than Burlington.

What Keokuk outfielders need is
practice in throwing to the plate. But
it is seldom that they give their arms
a tryout during the game Many times
after fly ball either Reicale, Hide
brand or Regis could have hurled home
to locate the base. The result is that
when they have the opportunity it is
about once week and they Invariably
miss the mark. Practice in this de
partment of the outfield game is even
more essential than catching flies be
fore the game, it seems.

The most valuable player on the
Keokuk ball club right now is Foxy
Morris. His services during the past
month have been invaluable Capable
of playing any position with almost
equal ability he is a necessity. Nor

son he can field slow and deep balls
very effectively. He has been hitting
at lively clip also.
