Green Bay Farmers viii Oppose the
Plan Of the Water Power People
to Establish Drain;te
System.
KEoKUKi LAWYER LEADS
Judge Hughes Of This City Has Been
Retained by Green Bay Farm
ers to Look After Their
interests

The meeting of the Green Bay
farmers and others at the Hotel
Antilles parlor Thursday afternoon
and to which representatives OF the
newspapers were denied admission
took the nature OF an organization
whose ultimate purpose is opposition
iof the establishment of the drainage
district as sought by the water power
company and a few others, says the
Ft. Madison Democrat 1t was decid-
ed at the meeting to endeavor to fore
stall the building of the drainage lev
ees by injunction or otherwise and
Judge Felix T. Hughes of Keokuk was
lseiected to represent the residents OF
Green Bay. Judge Hughes was pres
ent at the meeting and addressed the
assembly on general and particular
topics concerning the stand which the
Green Bay residents should take in re-
spect to their connections with the
Water Power company.
The meeting was presided over by
]. w. Murphy, editor OF the Burlington
Saturday Evening Post Mr.. Murphy
| in endeavoring to head movement
| to prevent outside corporations from
entering and, as he states it, robbing
the state of it's water power advan-
tages Mr.. Murphy also spoke, urg-
ing opposition to the establishment OF
the drainage district. He gave re-
sumo of his opinions on the subject
and as he had previously stated in his
paper said in part:
Green Bay is heart shaped body
of land containing about fifteen thous-
and acres. 1t lies between the Missis-
| sippi river and the bluff on the west.
| 1t is bounded on the north by the
Suknk river and on the east and south
| by the Mississippi. 1t is one of the
most productive bodies of agricultural
land in the world. Levees have been
CONSTRUCTED sufficiently high to pro-
Itect these rich lands from overflow in
ordinary high water. But the whole
region is faci-g extinction at the pres
ent time owing to the determination Of
| the builders of the Keokuk power dam
to force the construction of a huge
layke 13 miles in length, starting at
the bluff and following the meander.
ings of the shore line clear around the
! three Sides The dam will create a
permanent wall of water 20 feet in
height against such dyke-and unus.
ual freshets coming at the same time
in the Skunk and the Mississippi
would inevitably break over any dyke
4 that could be constructed with the re-
suit the whole area of rich lands
i would be swept over by tidal wave
i 20 feet to 80 feet high, leaving in its
wake destruction of life and property
1t is not surprising therefore that the
Il farmers should unaterably oppose the
j creation of the drainage district asked
for of the board of supervisors by the
power company. 1t is believed to be
the policy of the power company to
purchase only enough of these lands
to enable it to force drainage dis
trict upon these unfortunate farmers. >

as the "wite mans hope"
He will leave Cincinnati in few
days for Oklahoma and Immediately
will begin work Of getting Mcnis in
shape for several minor bouts he Is
engaged to fight in the near future
He stated this afternocla that he
thinks Morris, from what he has learn
ed of him. can be brought into ex-
cellent condition asked If he
thought the Oklahoma fighter will
ever be champion, Riley said. That
is entirely too difficult to answer
now. You see fighters Of the cham
pionship kind have to be certain kinds
of men. do not know for sure that
he Is that kind of a man. However,
all the reports | have received on
him are very flatterng and if all
gees well think he can be brought
up 10 a standard to trim Jack john
son. After all that will be quite
difficult thing to do, though it is
not quite as hard as some folks be.
lieye. have signed a contract to
have sole charge Of Morris during his
training which will be long and hard
and OF the kind to make him a great
fighter. shall leave here Friday oil

New York. Feb l0-George kid
Cotton of Pittsburg. former sparring
partner OF Jack Johnson. was knock
ed out here last night by Morris Har-
ris in the seventh round Of a ten
round bout before the National Sport
ing club of America. The negroes
furnished the fastest battle seen
here between heavyweights in years
and the knockout came as the sensa
tional close of 2 round in which Cot
ton apparently had Harris at his
mercy
Harris had the better Of the earlier
rounds and in the third put Cotton
down for the count of nine with a
right swing to the jaw When Cot
ton gained his footing he was groggy,
but the. bell saved him He came back
strong in the next round and just
before the knockout had Harris weak

In the last minute Of the seventh
Cotton forced Harris hard, but out Of
defensive crouch, suddenly Harris
let fly a right swing. The blow

TO PREVENT HITTING
INTO DOUBLE PLAY
Managers are Developing
Players 10 Bat Towards
Right Field

Take any Of the major league clubs
and have heir players developed as
right field htters and you will have
winning Dall club is the opinion Of
the majority of the big league man
ayers OF course pitching Of the
good kind will win pennants, but it
has been proved that players who
can hit TO right field and not ahead
Of the runner are valuable assets to
a ball club. Many a league batter
has been a handicap to team be-
cause Of continual hitting in lem
field. That's what McGraw meant
wren he said he would just as soon
lhave the men strike out as to hit
toward the shortstop with a run
ner on first This leaves things open
for a double play. A player who can
not hit to right field behind the run
ner Is not what one would call good
hitter despite the fact that he may
haze a good battiag average, unless
he can swat them all safe to the left
field pasture.
Instead Of wasting great deal of
their time ON minor matters during
the training trip. McGraw and Chase
managers Of the Giants and High
landers, are going to teach their play
ers to hit ii right field.
The fans 90 not realize what n $50
hitter is: We will take Laioe. who
hit the pill for that average. Larry
made thirty-fiye hits in a hunared
times at bat. The other sixty-fiye
he did not make hits Now this means
that Lajoie with men on bases is hit
ting for his team and in the other
siXty-fge times he is playing for the
other side The reason for this is
that Larry is a left field batter, and
will bang the ball into double plays.

Hackenschmidt haa undertaken to
throw Iybszco twice within an hour

IHackenschmidt was the aggressor
in the early part Of the bout and the
faster, cleaner workman of the TWO;
but Iybszco's great weight began to-
tell with every additional minute and
at the finish he seemed the stronger
of the two.
The weights were given on the pro-
gram as Hackerschmidt 2l0. and
Zybszco, 27G.
In spite OF his huge bulk Hacken-
schmidt twice heaved the Pole over
his shoulders and slammed him to he
mat with all his force The shock
shoak the Pole heavily, but did not
lessen his strength
For the most part Zybs2co chose a
chancery hold. and Hackenschmidt
found trouble in working away frcm

CASEY AT THE BAT"
De Wolf Hopper's Baseball Classic

(The original was written by Ernest
L. Thayer ard was first printed in
The San Francisco Examiner in
1889
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the
AIudyille nine that day;
The score stood A. to 2. with but
one inning more to play
And then when CooHey died at first
and BarroWs did the same,
A sickly silence fell upon the patrons
OF the game.
A struggling few got up to go in
deep despair; the rest
Chung to the hope that springs eter
nal in the human breast;
They thought II only Casey could get
a whack at that
They'd put up even money now with
Casey at the bat u,a
But Flynn let drive single to the
Jimmy Blake,
And the former was a lulu, and the
lallef was cake,
So upon the stricken multitude grim
melancholy sat
For there seemed but little chance Of
Casey getting at the bar
But Flynn let drive a single, to the
wonderment OF all
And Blake the much despsed, tore
the cover Off the ball
And when the dust was lifted, and
they saw what had occurred,
There was johnny safe at second
and Flynn a hugging third.
Then from five thousand throats and
more. there rose a lusty yell
II rumbled through the valley, it rat
tied in the dell
1t knocked upon the mountain and re-
coled upon the flat
For Casey, mighty Casey was adj
vancing TO the bat
There was ease in Casey's manner as
he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Caseys bearing.
and a smile on Caseys face;
And when responding to the cheers,
he lightly DOTTED his hat
No stranger in the crowd could doubt
Twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as
he rubbed his hands with dirt,
Five Thousand tongues applauded
when he wiped them on his shirt,
Then. while the writing pitcher
ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance cleaned in Casey's eye, a
sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-coyered sphere
came hurting through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it i'm
naughty granduer there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball
unheedtl sped;
THAT amt my style" said Casey
Strike one!' the umpire said
From the benches, black with people
there went up muffled roar
Like the beating of the storm waves
on a stern and distant shore.
XIII him! XIII the umpire!" shouted
someone IN the stand
And its likely they'd have killed him
had not Casey raised his hand
With a smile of Christian charity
great Caseys visage shone,
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade
the game go on;
He signaled to the pitcher, and once
more the spheroid flew;
But Casey stih ignored it, and the
umpire said, Strike two"
Fraud" cried the maddened thous-
ands ard the echo answered fraud
But one scornful look from Casey and
the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and
cold, they saw his muscles strain
And they knew that Casey wouldn't
let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Caseys lips.
