The study of various methods of

subjected to disastrous inundations.

Accidently Shot by
Brother Of Six Years

One of the saddest events that has
happened in Elbert County for good
many years occurred, late Tuesday after
noon, near Fondis at the home OF Mr.
and Mrs John Molloy, when Belle
Malloy, their ~ year old daughter was
accidently shot by her six year old bro
ther.
While the mother and daughter were
busy with their house work and having
their backs turned the boy took the
shot gun, which was standing in cor
per and started to examine it, not
Knowing that the gun was loaded; The
gun however discharged, striking his
sister in the back and killing her in
stantly.
The bereaved family have the sympa-

held at the church, interment was
made in Eloert Cemetery.

the old Iowa league has been mem
Der of the Indians too long, and it is
said that the directors have decided
to peddle him on the baseball mar
ket. What price he will bring is
questionable, but it is certain that a
club in need of southpaw would
make no mistake in picking him up
for he has hardly reached an age OF
retirement.
1t is not the intention in this con
coction to severely criticize Burch.
for that would be almost too tickle.
But it can easily be shown that fans
have tired of witnessing Burch pitch,
If nothing else. Such condition is
detrimental to the attendance and the
announcement that Burch will not be
retained has caused no surprise.
Dear old ''Rube" should not be con-
demned for his short-coming during
the past week, for during the first
week of the season he gave evidence
of great form. He was credited with
2-hit and 4-hit game in the first
two battle in which he worked
Burch, however, has lost one of
his greatest assets-control But this
does not altogether prove that he
no longer will be able to pitch his
club to victory. Keokuk fans would
rather see some one else in the box,
even though they have confidence in
his ability to win half of the games.
The veteran is far better than
many of the pitchers who now hold
jobs in the Central Association and it
is likely that some club in the league
will gobble him up. 1t is hoped at
least that if Kokuk is to lose him he
will remain in the circuit
which has been his home since he first
played professional ball.

doubt baseball tragedy. With Ed.

! ne Will have to battle with Hilly. a
green outfelder, before he is certain
of position.
When Clark first reported here he
i mad badly strained ligament in his
ieft leg. When he was cured of it he
stiil seemed to favor the injured mem
per, and his work all of the time has
given him credit for having what is
known In the baseball world as wood

Improvement though in his fielding,
especially Friday, when he played a
neat game in the outfield. He also
has listless air that makes him
/, look worse than he really is.
Belt has such confidence in the
coming of Hilly that he is trying to
place him in some position before the
first of June rolls around 1t is gem
orally conceded that Ogle will stick.
He is fielding we'll, except on ground
balls, and is batting in fair shape.
To remain on the club Clark should
hit about 1928. This average would
overcome his weakness in the field.
1t is believed his future here will de-
pend upon how well he continues his
clouting
No matter where Hilly plays he will
have several things to overcome, the
most pronounced of which is fighting
the ball. This single characteristic
will keep him out of an infeld position
at least during the present season.
Next year he may move in. Hilly Is
a hitter of promise and is fast on the
bases. What he can do in the field
remains to be seen.

new lively balls have heightened
games, President Ban Johnson issued
an order that all practice work of play

players must take their positions as

this will shorten games from 90 to 30
