The printer was working away busily

table with the counterfeit face plate
before him. The graver with which
he was tracing the lines was in his

When the detectives suddenly
bounced into the room the Russian
engraver came very near falling off
his chair In his establishment, but he
was an old hand at the business and
soon became cool and collected. He
could speak English fluently and the

proof of his ability as fine engraver.

The plate was a masterpiece.
Old Peter Delinsky was we'll known
among the counterfeiters as a plate
printer. When first approached by
the Russian engraver he declined the
offer made and said he had once been

during the day and departed for his
new berth at 2:40 o'clock this
morning. He will report in time for

The sale of Mason will undoubtedly
be received with considerable sur
prise for from reports received dur
ing the present road trip the new
man was showing UP we'll. However,
Belt is of the opinion that his catch
ing department is well fortified with
two such men as O'Brien and Cavan-
augh. The sale of Mason means
that both of them will be retained.
According to the latest report that
reaches Keokuk Belt is working
O'Brien in as first baseman during

Harper will be shifted to the utility
bench Harper has been missing 1t UP
with frequency of late and it is

With the first three series of the
1911 season of the Central Associa-
ton finished the fact that no single
club has anything soft has been
brought out prominently. 1t is true
as in all league championships, that
several of the clubs are slated to
be the goats, but after eliminating
them the other teams promise to
remain we'll punched during the sea
son. It would appear that Ottumwa,
Keokuk, Muscatine Galesburg and
Burlington are the five strongest
clubs. with Monmouth, Kewanee and
Hannibal the weaklings.
Keokuk has shown more hitting
quality than any club in the circuit
and the Indians have broken up game
after game by their clouting. But the
followers of Belt have needed some
thing like that to bring them vic
tory, for the pitchers have been CIV
en- support that has very often been
of the helpless variety Keokuk has
had an average of five errors a game.
OF the five clubs mentioned above
none seems to have the call. keo-
kuk is as strong as any of them and
Is about on par with Ottumwa.
Muscatine and Burlington have not
been seen on the Keokuk grounds,
but will roll into the city next week
for series
Since the season started the scores
generally have been large None Of
the clubs seem to have strong
pitching staff. They all have one or
two good men and the others are

Drohan of Kewanee are examples fur
nished by those clubs Burlington
has one of the strong pitching staffs

keokuk Would Raise the Pot?

keokuk Would Raise the Pot?
The Galesburg Republican, Register
is responsible for the story that Keo-
kuk is in favor of raising the Central
Association salary limit 500 before
the first of June. Keokuk will be
within the limit it is believed, and is
hardly likely to start anything like
this. The story says:
With the curtain closed on full
week of Central association baseball
questions regarding the welfare of
the league naturally arise and promi-
nent among them is the salary limit
matter and whether or not the vari-
GUS clubs are living UP to the mark
set by the league last fall in Chicago.
1t is said on good authority that
several OF the clubs are crowding
hard against the s1,400 mark at the
present time and that others are
jumping straddle of the $1,220 and
81 500 month at the present time.
The cut to the limit proper does not
have to be made until June LIST and
tnen the limit 10 the nunDeT OIL pay
ers is also required
Among the teams which are re-
garded as safely within the league
money requirements at the present
time are Monmouth, Galesburg, Han
nibal Kewanee and probably Musca-
tine, Burlington, Ottumwa and Keo-
kuk are probably over the mark and
will continue to be until June LIST
when the league has set limit on
the experimental season and clubs
are required to get inside of the ST.
400 figure.
Rumor around the league circuit
has 1t that Keokuk is in favor of tilt
ing the salary limit hundred dollars
per month and giving the various
clubs just that much more lee-way.
1t is understood that the Keokuk peo-
pie are feeling" the representatives
of the other clubs in the circuit and
ascertaining just what show the
movement would have If brought up
at a league meeting The keokuk PEG
pie want the extra 500 added to the
salary limit and are apprehensive OF
consequences If their team is forced
