take on a more CHEEKY tone, and the
spirit Of the time seems to throw a
glamour over places and things which
ordinarily are devoid Of all beauty.
AS 1t Is with places, so it Is with
people. They, too, not only seem to
change, but the transformation does
take place in millions of hearts to a
greater or less degree. The spirit of
Christmas even affects people who for
the rest OF the year are devoid Of
sentiment and Of feeling for their fell
lows. The most interesting stories
OF Christmastide are those which will
never appear in print-true stories of
men and women whose thoughts have
been only of their own selfish aims
and pleasures, but have been awak-
ened, If only for a day or two, from
their usual self-complacency, moved
by some force of which they are only
half-conscious to do some act of kind

THE BEST KEOKUK
HAS EVER SEEN
RouselI, Now Performing Here, Is ;
Remarkable Athlete and Strong
Man.

It is very seldom that sporting
page space is given over to report the
clever acts that are seen from time
to time at local amusement places,
but today for the first time this sea-
son the sporting editor feels called
upon to comment upon the act of Rus
sell, who is performing at the Air
dome
Rousell styles himself as the per
feet athlete and it is surely no mis-
homer. From the athletic standpoint,
RouseH is the best seen in Keokuk
for long time.
He opens his act with an exhibition
of the wonderful development of the
upper part of the body. With his chest
and arms barred he contracts his mus
cles until every one of them can be
seen. The muscles gather in hard
knots all over him. The muscle de-
velopment of his back is unusual.
From this exhibition, Rousell turns
to display of strength and spectacu-
lar work on the rings and trapeze,
and in this work his great strength
enables him to do levers, dislocates
and other difficult feats with the
greatest ease. His best work is in the
stunts in which strength plays an i'm
portant part. He does one or two
spectacular exercises, but they are
not difficult

MAKE CHARGES
AGAINST BELT
Report Comes From Burlington That
He Threatened to Throw Games
TO Ottumwa.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye today
publishes a paragraph that does Man
ager Frank Belt, the squarest man in
baseball, a great injury, and is deep
injustice to him. The paragraph says:
1T is reported that Manager Belt
threatened some Burlington rooters
with the statement that Keokuk would
throw it's three final games to Ottum-
wa in order to insure Burlington's de-
feat in the pennant race 1t is also
reported that Belt was on the carpet
before the Keokuk directors on the
charge of throwing the games in that
city recently to Ottumwa. Belt is the
worst crabber in the circuit; hut his
talk is not reflection of the opinion
of Keokuk people. Burlington is per-
fectly satisfied with the playing of its
team. President Hayden and Manager
Rohn have carried out every contract
with Burlington and has given this
city the best 'ase ball in its history.
No faint of throwing" games or any
other undetermined tactics can be
charged against those gentlemen.

ROUTINE BEGINS TODAY

OTTUMWA, Iowa, Aug. 29.-With
the arrival of Company X of Grinnell
at 1920 yesterday afternoon, the en-
tire Fifty-fourth regiment of the Iowa
National Guard went into camp at
Camp Bishop In Wildwood Country
side. The small army of men was
busily engaged in setting up camp and
laying off the little city for the ten
days encampment. BY last evening
every tent was up and the camp placed
under military rule.
The twelve companies had been
arriving in the city since early Mon
day morning, the first two, Company
NJ of Fairfield and Company H of Bur-
lington coming in special cars on Bur.
lington No. 3 at 1875 a. nj. They march.
ed directly to the camp and with this
four mile tramp their first real taste
of camp life began. Company G OF
course was on the ground early, hav.
ing left the armory at $50 The Fort
Madison company arrived In Ottumwa
at 11:50 and Davenport, Muscatine
Washington and Iowa City came in on

The other companies arrived in the
afternoon.

morning and the labors of the fore
noon whetted their appetites.

When mess time came the hungry
men came drifting In around the mess
tent endeavoring to get line on the
pork and beans and bareback. But
the cooks were busy with other tasks
besides those of the commissary de-
partment and no food was In sight.
Inquiry resulted in the discovery that
the food supplies had not yet arrived
and from all prospects it would be
the middle of the afternoon before
rations could be issued Not a few OF
the militiamen went over the hill
where they could watch for the
wagons bearing the grub and 1t was
vigil was rewarded This meaat din
ner about 2:30. But when the rations
did come no time was lost in getting
away with them
This morning the routine of the
camp commences. Guard mount was
held at 7:45 and when visitors arrive
at camp they will find its borders pa
rolled by heavy guard. Battalion drill
will begin at 8 o'clock. Three battal-
ions composed Of four companies each
will go through the maneuvers which
will last for two hours. The first bat
talon under Major Ball will be COM
posed of Companies X, B, and D.;
the second battalion, Companies A, G,
H and L, and the third of G, M. r
and E. The maneuvers Of these squads
will prove great treat for all visitors
as 1t will show the action of the large
armies in time Of war.
Battalion drill will also be held dur
ing the afternoon. At o'clock in the
evening one of the prettiest sights
of the encampment will take place.
Dress parade of the entire regiment
will be held and the movement of the
entire six hundred men will prove a
wonderful sight to those who have
rever witnessed All encampment be-
fore.

MONMOUTH, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-The
Monmouth Browns, struggling hard to
retain their hold on leadership of the
second division, put crimp in Keo-
kuk's third place aspirations by de-
feating the Indians, to 4. in loose
" played game. Galesburg lost also,
however, and Keokuk is still only one
full game in the rear, while Monmouth
is only one game ahead of Kewanee
The wildness of Swears and Murray
and timely drives by the Browns, COM
bined with weakened defense, en-
abled the home boys to grab a VIC
tory on only six hits and score eight
runs during the contest. Swears al
lowed five bases on balls and Murray
passed two men, piling the sacks high
at a time when the Monmouth men
were able to deliver necessary hits
Johnson's homer in the fifth with two
men on was the feature, as the ball
did not leave the grounds.
The seventh was bad round for
Swain, for after one was down, Belt
poled single, followed by an error
by Long and two more singles by
Sloan and Pennington counted -four
runs. Reichle was the hitting mar
for Keokuk, getting three bingles il
four times up. The score:

The Pennant outlook.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Burlington
and Ottumwa both have nine more
games to play. In order to win the
pennant Burlington must win three
more games than Ottumwa does. If
Ottumwa should drop the two remain
ing games with Galesburg, which Is
not at all impossible, and should lose
one of the four games it plays with
Keokuk, Burlington, by winning nine
straight games, would win the flag.
Or should Ottumwa lose one to Gales
burg and two to Keokuk, with Bur-
lington winning nine, the latter would
end in the lead by half a game. 1t
is hardly probable, however, that OF
tumwa will lose three more games
than Burlington, SO the chances are
very good that Ned Egan will win his
third pennant in the Central Associa
ton this season.

Easv for Burlington,

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Aug. 29.-By
hitting Mr.. MCGEE of Hannibal all
over the lot yesterday Burlington won
the first game of the Missouri series
by 9 to 4. The Cannibal finger evil
IDENTIFY had an off day. He walked
seven men, hit one with pitched
ball and was credited with an error
and wild pitch. Willis, who was
taken out early in the Sunday game
with Keokuk, was on the mound for
Burlington and was responsible for
only two of the visitors runs, the first
pair being due to errors by his sup
port. Only $50 fans were present,
which is hard to account for, seeing
that the present series is the last in
Burlington and the Pathfinders still
have chance for the rag.

played sand lot ball behind Mitchell
yesterday and Ottumwa won, 8 to 5.
Mitchell pitched good ball and with
decent support could have won his
game. Galesburg knocked Hughes
from the slab in the first and Hilge-
fort developed a streak of wildness in
the eighth inning, hitting two men.
Egan then yanked him, and Jimmy
Wall finished the game, holding the

Three Home Runs Made

KEWANEE, H.. Aug. 29.-Kewanee
and Muscatine engaged in a furious
batting fest, and before the melee
ended Kewanee had used Pitchers
Ashley, Drohan and SAKE, while Mus
catine forced Boothby and Walters to
their limit without success. Three
home runs, all inside of the park,
featured the game. None of them were
by any means clean, but they passed
from the sight of Umpire Kennedy
and he declared himself In favor OF
the home run. In the ninth inning
Muscatine made desperate rally and
counted three runs, and had the bases
filed up when SAKE famed both Hart
and Boothby. The score:

Star Match at Country Club.


The Higbee- Dadant match was
played before fair sized gallery at
the Country club and was by far the
best match of the day. Higbee play
ed well in the first set, winning, g..
He lost the second, 4-6, and then
the two men settled down in great
battle for supremacy. Higbee won
only after the hardest kind of a strug-
gle 81. Higbee was remarkably
steady throughout, although he was
played fairly off his feet by the speed
which tn, fol-, Ter Illinois athlete dis
played at times during the match.
Warfield, the Quincy crack and
teammate of Musselman in the double,
showed his class by outclassing
Cephas Harrison and winning in a
very decisive manner. He scored the
only love set of the day and allowed
Harrison only one game in the second
set. The strong play of Warfield
makes the Quincy team the favorite
in the doubles.
1t was announced today that c. R
JOY, present city champion, will be
unable to continue longer in the tourn-
ament. He goes east Wednesday
evening. joys chances appeared to
be rosy, and he was picked as at least
runner-up.

fact that Houston High is regarded
as one Of the crack high chooliteams

ing for them. These conditions go a
long way in a teams favor and make
the victory won by Allen all the more
glorious.
The Houston boys were outclassed
and outplayed at every stage of the
game, and the result was never in
doubt after the first few minutes Of
play. The Houston boys We're conf
dent of victory and their defeat was
n sore disappointment to them and
their host of supporters.
When the news of Aliens great vic
tory was telegraphed to Bryan there
was great rejoicing, and especially a.
the school, where preparations were
at once begun for a celebration. AT
night the Academy boys gave one Of
their famous shirt tail parades, :"
which was participated in by more
than one hundred students and which
made the old town lively while It
lasted.
