Is The National Game.

Baseball is the national game and
keokuk should not give it up This
was the opinion of Wells NJ. Irwin,
one of the most enthusiastic fans and
faithful supporters of the game. Many
others hold the same view as does
Mr.. Irwin and those are the men the
association wants to see present this
evening
If Keokuk gives up It's franchise to-
morrow it is doubtful If the city will
be able to secure berth for some
years to come. Franchises are often
valuable and in favorable years it is
extremely difficult to buy them. Keo-
kuk will save money by putting up
the money and continuing in the
same.
Come to the meeting tonight and
assist the directors in mapping out
plan of campaign. Every individuals
presence is desired.

One Opening Left.

When the directors became ac-
quainted with the fact that the In
dustrial Association could not sup
port such movement, haste was
made in deciding on an action, for it
is necessary to have the situation
cleared up before the meeting in Bur
lington.
The meeting this evening will be
held at 7:30 o'clock and is called upon
suggestion of President c. R. Joy OF
the Industrial Association, who is
now fully convinced that fans are
aware that Keokuk is on the baseball
deadrocks and are fully alive to the
situation now confronting the baseball,
association. For this reason one more
trial will be given and fans are expect
ed to respond. In order to boost In
making the meeting as promising as
possible the directors have canvassed
some Of the business men and person.
ally invited them to be present.
keokuk should be able to raise the
small sum of $1,000 to finish the sea
son. The club has some assets to work
upon and if the franchise is continued
the association will not lose its $500
guarantee money and the possibility
of selling some of the players at the
end of the season.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-07-20
The Resolution.

1t was moved that the Keokuk In
dustrial Association should not take
upon themselves the burden of financ-
ing or raising money through COM
mittee for baseball purposes.
The Industrial Association is i'm
PEELED to this action for the following
reasons:
First-That it does not believe that
it is within the power or function OF
the Association to undertake mat
ter of this kind.
Second-For the reason that it be-
lieves that such action would estab-
lish precedent which would permit
other organizations to make similar
calls upon it.
The Industrial Association however
believes that the matter of financing
the Baseball Association for the re-
mainder of the season Is one of pub
lie interest in Keokuk and that the
citizens should support any action
which may be taken by the Baseball
Association in that regard
Motion unanimously carried.

see me either = free man or . pris-

and, in spite of Johnson's promise to
produce Sullivan, l was more prepared
for the latter than the former.
Blobs was watching for me outside
the door. and 1t was clear that he was
in q state of excitement bordering on
delirium. He did nothing, however.
save to tip me wink that meant "As
man to man, I'm for you" l was too
much engrossed either to reprove him
or to return the courtesy. but heard
him follow me down the hall to the
small room where We kept outgrown
law books, typewriter supplies and. in
cidsntally, our wraps. l was wonder

was a gleam of indignant satisfaction
