Ottumwa and the Gems have been
going neck and neck, the Packers be-
ing pulled down from their advantag-

back into the lead after being deposed
for several weeks. The victories OF
Quincy have been so decisive that
many lean TO that club for a 1910
victory
Hannibals downfall was hardly TAX

must have been foreseen some time

Quincy and Ottumwa excel Hanni-
