Sporting Views
By the Editor

Last night the students of the Keo-
kuk high school pulled a big camp
fire on the school grounds and hun
dreds were attracted by the yells and
antics of the jubilant pupils. The ar
fair lasted very late and was an occa-
sion of much joy for the participants.
1t is expected that the new direc-
tors of the Keokuk Baseball Associa-
ton will be called to a meeting some
time this week 1t seems to be the
general opinion among all the direc-
tors that it is up to Mr.. Sterne as one
of the old members and former secre-
tary of the club to call the meeting
and they are waiting such action by
him. 1t will be necessary for the di-
rectors to busy themselves before
long if the $4,000 to be raised is forth
coming by January LIST.
