INDIAN COMMISSION NOT

Spokane Wash.-Claims aggregat-
ing several millions of dollars, pre-

on various reservations throughout
the United states, are being tabulated

a letter to the Spokane chamber OF
commerce through United States Sem
ator PoindeXter in reply to a COM
plaint by the Commercial club of
Covada, Wash. as to the settlement
of Indians debts. adding:
"As soon as that part OF the sched-

sented by creditors of the Indians OF
a given reservation is complete, steps

that the divorce was illegal, not hav-

A battalion of an Alpine regiment

there are picturesque golf links, and
was lost in a heavy fog.
Nobody had compass, and know

officer in charge of the battalion gave
orders to his men to halt and make
the best of things until the fog lifted.
But stray sheep saved the situa.

THINKS 0TTUMWA
WILL Win FLAG
John A. Hall, Chief Scorer of Central
Association, Picks ottumwa's
Club Against Bur
lington.
GIVES HIS REASONS
Says That Burlington Must Wiz
Three More Games Than ottum-
wa-Hawk-Eye Does Not Con.
cur With Him.

John A. Hall, chief scorer of the
Central Association has gotten into
an argument with the Burlington
Hawk-Eye over the outcome of the
pennant race. Hall thinks Ottumwa
will win; the Hawk-Eye does not.
Keokuk Is interested in the dispute
because of the peculiar position the
Indians are in with regard to the
termination of the race The reasons
OF Hall are outlined In the following
letter and below it is the Hawk-Eye's
response:
Quincy, Ill.,, Aug. 90, 1911.
Editor Hawk-Eye:
note that Burlington has a post
poned game with Hannibal at Hanni-
bal from July 10, so they will have
four games in two days, September 5
and 4. Ottumwa has a postponed
game at home with Keokuk from June
I. SO they also will have four games
in two days. September and 4, but
they will be at home If Burlington
wins all remaining games, fourteen,
the finish will be $40. And if OF
tumwa wins twelve and loses two,
Ottumwa wins the pennant thus 49,
40, one-half game to the good. So
Burlington will have to win three
more games than Ottumwa to win
out. Burlington has beaten Keokuk
s out of II and Hannibal 3 out OF
Ill, while Ottumwa has beaten Gales
burg 9 out of IL; Keokuk, 10 out of
IA, and Kewanee 10 out of Is. Looks
like Ottumwa to me.
HALL
The Hawk-Eye will not concede Mr..
Halls conclusion as correct. The fact
Is that while Ottumwa is playing its
seven final games with Keokuk, a
team that is fighting desperately to
keep in its position Burlington will
be playing seven final games with
Hannibal, team hopelessly in eighth
place and Indifferent to the result of
the series Also the Hawk-Ewe will
point out that while Ottumwa is play
ing six games with Galesburg which
is fighting hard to keep Keokuk from
going over it into third position, Bur
lington will be playing six games with
Keokuk, a team which it has up to
date defeated eight out of twelve
games. Ottumwa has only been able
to defeat Galesburg six out of twelve
games SO far this season.
The curious fact in this connection
is that if Galesburg ends the season
in third position Burlington will win
the pennant. On the other hand II
Keokuk slips up into third position
Ottumwa will win the pennant The
reason is that in order to retain
third position Galesburg must defeat
Ottumwa and Burlington must defeat
Keokuk. That will mean Burlington S
advancement over Ottumwa which
will give 1t the pennant.
