SCHOOLS OPENED
IN KEOKUK TODAY
Much Larger Enrolment Than Last
Year is Expected In the keo-
kuk Public SchooIe.

The fall term of the Keokuk public
schools opened today with a greatly
Increased enrolment. Although no
definite information was available as
to the number of pupils that the
schools would take care of this year,
lit is thought that the total enrolment
would show an unexpected increase.
In the high school, the day is being
given over to special examinations
for pupils who are making up condi-
tons from last term and the enroll
ment of new pupils. At the various
ward schools the pupils registered

About year ago a meeting was called
at the National Guards Armory for the
purpose of lettering conditions along am
ateur athletic lines. Last May another
meeting was held by those interested and
a permanent organization was effected.
to be known as the Amateur Athletic
Federation Of the District Of Columbia.
On the Fourth of July the swimming

and in August the three-nile swimming
race on the Potomac. under the auspices
Of the Y. NJ. c. A., were sanctioned by
the federation. Since the organization.
Capt. Eugene Edwards Of the Distr. ct
National Guards has been acting as presi-
dent. and Mr.. Jack Haas, formerly phys
ical director at Ingrams. has acted in
the capacity Of secretary. At meeting
held last Friday night the following well
known business men were elected as per-
manent officers Of the federation: Mr..
w. c. Thatcher was reelected to the Of

popular president of the amateur base ball

dency; Mr.. Harry Shurtleff was elected
secretary and treasurer. Three more

not have been found anywhere, and the

such men assures It Of success beyond

That's the way the National League
umpires think the players of that league
rank. That is their Ali-NationaI League
team, the best aggregation. according to
their Judgment, that could possibly be
picked from President Lynch's organiza-
ton.
The uInpires were almost unanimous
on everything except pitching. In that
department their selections were as far
apart as they could possibly be. For In
stance. two umpires omitted Rucker of
brooklyn from their pitching choices.
Enough others named him first to insure
him the honors OF the league as far as
the umpfres' opinions are concerned.
Also. two unnpires left Tesreau ont Of
their calculations entirely. but named two
of his teammates. Mathewson and Mar
guard two Pittsburgh pitchers, Camnitz
and Hendricks. and Tyler of Boston. The
brilliant but inconsistent pitching In the
National League games was responsible

there the athletes Of the opposing club
were careful enough to play him safe.
AT all times Milan's lead from first was
governed by conditions. Perchance there
was another runner on the route ahead
OF him. If SO, the first sacker usually
played deep or wide and away from the
base. Major leaguers figure in cases OF
this kind that the play" when made will
in all likelihood be at second or third. All
hands will be watching to trip up the
base runner who is leading the process
sion.
Take the theories preached on base
stealing by Role Zeider. who is ranked
among the smoOthest in the game, and
there will be found hundred salient
reasons for displays of tact and lot OF
it, and once ba. ter attempts to nego-
tate another base by dint of thievery.
Roilie has often said that the p: OBJ EN- OF
than one point of view. With the aver
age youngster is q case OF steal any
time you get an opening. The veteran,
wise OH all the angles Of the craft. will
say steal when the stealing is good.
In the event there's a runner on first
and ano her on third the fellow at the
initial sack becomes imbued with a
strong temptation to copper second. He
Is awake to the fact that he can take
comfortable lead because the first base
man will be laying for the hit er, not
for him. He also realizes full Well that
he can attract a throw from the back
stop to second base at time when the
runner on third has already pointed In
the direction Of home and will probably
be successful in reaching The plate. Thus
we have the double steal.
a diffe emit condition must be met in the
event two men are gone. 1t is then that
the runner on first must play his cards to
perfection. for if the chap going from
first to second is ,nipped, the other fell
low. and his fat lead toward home, avail
nothing. No feat In base ball brings forth
the thrills like a steal home. 1t may be
accomplished while the pitcher is in the
&C: of taking a .ong and statuesque
wind-up or it may be the result OF a dar-
ing display of nerve and speed. surpris-
ing the maskman SO that the runner
slides into the pate while the catcher
has the ball. but before he thinks to tag
the in -repid athlete approaching from
third.
Viewed from every angie this is risky
play. both for the runner and the catch
er. and serious injury often results. Then.
100, the is the possibility that the bat
ter. trying to help complete the theft
may fan or fail to carry out the scheme
Though he daily flirted with danger in
his race to clinch the league title, Milan
went through the season without a slip
and was one of the few players Of the
two circui to participate in the regula-
ton number of 154 championship games.

set-to came between him and Warner.
The Indians had tried a forward pass,
and it had been incomple.ed. The referee
instead of putting the ball in play from
the spot of the previous down put 1t in
play from the spot from which 1t had
been passed. Warner promptly shouted
his objections The referee therefore
proceeded to penalize the Indian eleven
10 yards, and Immediately pulled his
watch on Warner and ordered him to
leave the side lines.
Penalties in the last part Of the game
aided Georgetown to a considerable ex-
tent. and undoubtedly caused one of lis
touchdowns to be made. Bergie, the
Indians center. was sent out of the game
and the Indians pena.ized half the DIS
tarce to the goal line. AS the Indians
had just held Georgetown, the ball would
have been kicked out of danger but for
the penalty which allowed Georgetown
to keep it.
This man Bergie. by the way. is one Of
the best centers in the country today. He
backs up the line and gets his man when
he breaks through and at the same time
is able to make his way out around end
in time to get runner on the off-tackle
plays and end runs. He was also versa
tile enough to get back and break up a
forward pass at one time. There We're
