battle of his career.
Gotch this afternoon completed the
second day of secret training and
went to bed as usual at nine feeling
fine. Though Gotch looks good and
Is apparently In excellent condition.
1t is being noised about tonight that
he Is not in as great shape as has
been reported. 1t is said that the
great crowds which thronged his
training quarters day after day for
weeks really injured instead of help
ing the champion. Towards the last
of the public training it was noticed
that Gotch was nervous and objected
to posing for pictures and doing like
things which had become part of the
daily program.
1t is believed that the feeling OF the
champions friends that he was not

to gee, fast enough, caused his mana.

Auto Has Injured the National Game
Louis Sterne Local Baseball Magnate, Thinks He Has
Solved Reason For Decline Of Interest.

The automobile, mans most costly
luxury, is blamed for decline in
baseball attendance during the past
two years, by Louis Sterne, secretary
treasurer of the Keokuk Baseball AS
ISOLATION.
Il am confident" says Mr.. Sterne,
that the auto has done much to de-
tract from the baseball park of late.
1t is no difficult problem to figure out
that If a city of $4,000 inhabitants has
150 automobiles. that the attendance
at the close Of the season will be at
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-08-27

least 5000 short of what it otherwise
would have been.
The autoists are taking to their
sport instead Of to the baseball park.
The average man wants some relaxa-
ton and before the auto gained its
immense popularity he turned to the
national game. Now many have de-
serted the game for Joy riding.
Il look for another awakening in
minor league baseball within the next
five years. People must have it; 1t
10 the only game which all can enjoy. ?
