EASY VICTORY
IN DUAL MEET
Keokuk Y. M. c. A. Athletes Eased
over Soft Win Against
ottumwa at Athletic Park
Yesterday.
THE HEAT WAS INTENSE
With Temperature Over the 100 Mark
the ThInly Clad Athletes Per.
formed Calamity In One
Sided Affair.

On torrid field that made the
thinly clad athletes fairly swelter,
while the temperature lowered around
and above the 100 mark, the Keokuk
Y. M. G. A. track team defeated Of
tumwa in the second annual track and
field meet at Athletic field Satur-
day afternoon by the overwhelming
count of II to %.
The Keokuk stars fairly outclassed
their opponents in every event on
the card except one, Lodwick, clev.
er weight man from the University Of
Missouri, nosing out the veteran
Charles Hennemann for the only first
OF the day. In every other event,
Keokuk copied the first place and in
many of them took first and second.
Ottuhwa scored nearly one-half of It's
points by picking up thirds, the
rule of entry being that only two men
from each team could start in an
event
Because of the intense heat of the
afternoon the records were not such
as might otherwise have been expect
ed, except in the half mile which
Charles King managed to negotiate in
the fast time of minutes and three
seconds. King was the star of the
meet, gathering three first and one
second for total of eighteen points.
Hennemann, at one time the champ
ion weight thrower OF the world, could
not perform well in his favorite event,
being out of form. He took second
place and eased over first in the shot,
which he tossed for distance of forty
feet.
In many of the events the Keokuk
men did not have to exert themselves,
taking things easy and capturing
places almost at will.
Assisting at the meet as officials
were Physical Director linn, H. E.
Radcliffe, Allyn Sheldon, William AID
rich, P. c. Hayden, E. S. Patterson,
and Ralph Leake.

Double Count in First.

In the way of Introduction after
Smith had succeeded in gliding the
Cans safe in the opening half Keo-
kuk piled up two, and the lead looked
like mountain for a time And the
best part of it all was the runs were
counted with little exertion on the
part of anyone except Pennington,
who found the horsehide for a long
double against the left field candy
sign.
Bresnahan started the inning by
walking and Blake laid down pretty
sacrifice Pennington's hit followed
and Reichle was safe on an error by
shortstop Walsh A second error by
Adams followed and Pennington was
safe at home. Retchle was caught at
home on Hillys fast bunt to the
pitcher and Belt sent a skier TO cen.
terGeld
1t was not until the first half OF the
fifth inning that Hannibal came back
with tie The two runs were. pro
duced on hits by Mcknight, Beckley
and Milligan coupled with errors by
Bresnahan and Reichle. And AT that
the last man went down with two men
on bases.

MONDAY.

The eight auto loads of people
who spent the day at Emery Monday
for the Labor Day celebration re-
turned to the city a little after 6
O'Clock in the evening and recount
the pleasures of the day With much
enthusiasm. Nearly all OF the eight
machines reached Emery without
Mishap, and they got there just in
time to get in on the big parade Of
the Gay, The eight machines took
UP one block of the parade and they
added Very much to the imposing APP
%pearance of the same. The parade
was Il splendid success and the man
features that took big with the
crowd. There was an immense
crowd of people at Emery from the
surrounding country and towns, and
the day was full OF pleasure for all.
The afternoon features We're of a
sportive character. the special fea-
turc of which was the game OF base
ball between Emery and Farmer.
This week the Plankinton fair is

tention of the Mitchell boosters to

likely hat the Brute county fair at
kimball will be visited. although the

Belle fourche. S. On. e. Isaacs
IA rancher living on Sulphur creek, is
an exponent of dry farming who has
made good. Despite the drought, he
planted 10 acres OF corn, having
plowed burrows IA inches deep, and
proceeded to cultivate without a
drop OF water. Since last fall there
mas been but one shower at this
place and he had no available wa
ter, but he has managed to get a full
crop. His corn. which grew from
three to four feet in height, had good
ears on every stalk. He has sent
samples to Belle Fourche and they
will be exhibited at the state fair at
Huron next week.

GAME WIN.

MISUNDERSTANDING the ruling
of the attorney general under which
county game wardens, appointed
last year are holding Office this year,
Judge c. X. Seward of the Second
district, in settling the legal fight
over the C%odington county game
w~ardenship, held that the term Of
Office of the county game wardep1ex-
pires with that OF his principal, the
state game warden, and .deniednthe
writ of prohibition by, which P. w.
schoenberger. of this county, sought
to hold up the appointment Of Clint
n. Bibbins.
The decision affects the legal
status of several county game war;
dens in the state who were reap
pointed by the state warden for the
years 1911-12-13 without a recon-
mendation from the boards of COM
missioners Of the various counties.
Such wardens will now have to Sc
cure d uy lne DOaFu,
or step out Of office.
Judge Seward further held that
the state game warden connot re-
o county wardens summarily,
but must first show neglect of duty
as provided by law. But in the
case OF Schoenbergerahe decided that
the appointment was not legal, thus
eliminating the issue, inathis} par
ticular cause. But in other cases,
where the appointment is legal and
regular, he construed the law to pre-
vent a removal except on the, pre-
ferring Of charges and their estab-
lishment by proper evidence.0 o.
