STEVE COLLINS THROUGH
One Of the Oldest Dealers in the
City Must Retire From Work
Has Followed for Years
Other Places Hit.

The order of the city commission,
revoking the licenses of twenty-four
saloon keepers so as to conform with
the provisions of the Moon law, will
remove some of the most historic
thirst parlors in Keokuk.
Heading the list is the Cheyenne in
West Keokuk, located at the corner
of A and Fifth streets, which is said
by some to have been operated dur
ing the Civil war. AS to the authen-
ITCHY of this statement some are in
doubt. However, few men in keokuk
who have ever lifted a schooner
trimming over with suds, are not ac-
quainted with Steve Collins, one of the
oldest saloon keepers in Keokuk.
Steve and his place form an old land
marn which will be destroyed after
December 80. insofar as a thirst en-
porium is concerned. 1t is said Steve
has doled out drinks to three gener-
atoms and has made barrel of money
out of the place.
Michael Whalen's place at 1905
South Fifth street, which is now oper-
ated by his son in-law, Frank Nelson,
was one of the early saloons of West
Keokuk 1t was largely frequented by
packing house men in the old days OF
Coey and company, when @ thriving
business was done.
| Another of West Keokuk's saloons

Coming up in the direction of Main
street. is the Lefeber saloon at GIG
South Fifth street, which has been
loperated by members of that family

Another section of town which
claims to be hard hit by the new Law
is North Twelfth street. The saloon al

Louis Kuebler, has been in existance
for about twenty years. "The traffic

OTTUMWA, Ia, Dec. 23.-Applica-
tions for berths on the 1912 Ottumwa
baseball team are coming In thick and
fast to President Frank T. Lynch and
Secretary Jack Hutchinson. The latest
pleas for jobs are from two players
In Tyrone, Pa, and from butch
athlete in South English. The latter
is catcher with three years exper-
fence in amateur and semi-pro ball
The far east contigent are infield
operators, doing everything but pitch.
The letter from Tyrone Is five pages,
containing some sparkling eulogies Of
the men whose names are signed at
the bottom. One Of the aspirants re-
marks that President Justice advised
him to write to President Lynch and
the beauty about it all is that the
pair offer to pay their own expenses
the event that they fail to make good.
accommodations from sporting
writers and from owners of semi-pro
clubs accompany the applications. The
writer of the letter is first baseman
and short field operator, having play
ed in thirty-eight games last year,
batting 1854 and fielding .979. His
partner is second or third baser
and his record in forty-one games last
year was 1854 with the stick and $50
in the field The catcher from South
English is well known here, and he
may be given try-out.
President Justice has notified Prexy
Lynch that the Ottumwa clubs guar
antee of $500 will be due January 10.

Esan Hopes for

George Pennington, who Thursday
secured personal release option
from the Keokuk club, has been en-
gagged to manage Kewanee, succeed
ing DR.. Jay Andrews, according to an
announcement made Saturday. PEN
nington will exercise his option with
in the next two weeks by the payment
of 5000 to the local association.
The step is regarded as an import
ant one in the baseball career of
Pennington. For score of years he
has been playing clever baseball in
the minors, never being able to climb
very high, however owing to his lack
of hitting ability.
With the exception of last year
when he played great ball for Keo-
kuk, the most successful season Pen
nington has enjoyed in his diamond
play was four years ago as member
of the pennant winning Waterloo
team. With the club that season was
the sensational Harry Gaspar, now a
permanent fixture On the Cincinnati
/ Reds. While Gaspar took the lions
share of the honors for the great
season, yet many baseball men thought
much of the teams success was due
to the clever work Of Pennington on
third. He was responsible for the
inside ball which put Waterloo In q
class by itself.
4 AS a fielder Pennington is. one o.
the most remarkable ball players The
Central association has ever. had il
that the errors he makes are excep
4 tionally few. He is sure on balls o
all kinds, fast, slow and difficult. Al

judgment.

tract and discuss the situation.
