-Keokuk's baseball fans and club
can be congratulated on one thing and
that is, the friendly spirit of he local
street car company toward the sport.
Manager A. D. Ayres of the Keokul
Electric Railway and Power Co.. is
more loyal to the game than some OF
the companies in other cities and his
company is not only heavy contrib
utor to the sport in a cash way. but
is every ready and willing to do its
part In any way possible to help along
the game. Owing to the state law
which prohibits the giving of street
car passes, Mr.. Ayres is unable to
provide the players with free trans
portation to and from the grounds
but he makes up for this slight item
IN many other ways. AS a member
of the board of directors, he has also
done valiant service for the cause
Manager Belt and the directors of the
local baseball association, look upor
Mr.. Ayres as one of the best friends
baseball has in Keokuk.
VIII Imam of this city is the in.
venter of self-opening cap to be
used on beer, soda pop and other such
bottles, and has applied to Washing
ton for patent on it. The new tor
is about the same size as those In
use at the present time 1t consists oil
band in which sets a disc. The
band is held together by a tongue
which sets in a recess. All that is
necessary to remove the top is tc
pull down on the small tongue. which
action causes the band TO expand
Air pressure then causes the top tc
fly off. The invention is looked upon
with favor locally. II does away en-
tirely with openers and the tops are
said to be no more expensive ts.an
those in use at the present time. Mr.
lnman has been working on his in
vention for the past year and only
now has it in such perfect shape that
he believes it will be accepted. Self
opening tops have been patented be
fore, but none have proved practica.
BILE, The Keoknk boy is to be con
