new DIRECTORS
FOR BASEBALL
/ Msetinp at the keokuk Club Last
Evening Selects New Board Of
Dirsesers, Retaining Sec
rotary sterne.
BELT IS SELECTED
Former Manager Of the keokuk Club
Z Appointed 70 Serve on the
Board Of Directors
Next Year.

At the meeting of the committee ap-
pointed to select the directors OF the
Keoknk Baseball Association at the
Keokuk club yesterday evening, the
following men were elected to serve
for the 1913 season: John Tumelty,
Or. H. A. Gray, Frank Belt, A. D..
Ayers and Louis Sterne.
During the meeting 1t was decided
that the directorate OF the association
could not get along without the SER
vices OF Louis Sterne, who has been
secretary Of the association for sever
al years, and he was put back In
spite OF his repeated statements that
he was through with baseball for a
while.
Since the statement at the mass
meeting last week the whole Central
Association has put up a big cry for
Sterne to remain in the game for a
while longer. Every paper in the
league realizes that he is one Of the
strong men OF the league and Is in
sistent in their demands that he stick
to the ship.
Mr.. Sterne was appraised of his
election by The Gate City this morn
4 ing and said that it came as more or
less of surprise for he had thought
that the committee would accede to
his wishes and let him go for a sea-
son and that he was not yet sure that
he would serve. He will make def.
mite statement sometime within the
next few days.
All the other men are we'll known
baseball fans and supporters OF the
team in Keokuk for several years
past. John Tume1ty and DR.. A. H
Gray are enthusiastic fans and will
bring a grea.. deal of enthusiasm into
the game here without doubt. A. d
Ayers, as representative of the
transportation company has made {
good and efficient official Of the asso
citation for several years, has made
an enviable record in that capacit,
and his experience in handling thu
affairs Of the club will come in abou
right.
.Pa,' Frank Belt is too we'll known
to KeoEuk baseball fans to need an.
Introduction. His long years of ex
perience as a player and manager
giving him ample ability to work t,
the best interests of, the club at al
times and his aggressiveness vii
1 keep the club on edge and make ther
fight for the top of the percentag
column. He Is loved by all the Kec
kuk fans and will no doubt make on
Of the most successful directors tina
Keokuk has ever had.
With the impetus given the gam
by the new directors 1t is expecte
that 1913 will be the banneT year fo
Keokuk in organized baseball and tn
fans are already promising their sui
port. The directors, to start will
have an awful load on their hand
but with the support of the loyal fan
of the city it can be made niue
lighter.

SHIP FREIGHT BY
WATER TO CHICAGO
Canal Commissioners Say keokuk
Could Save Money by Using
Barge Line to Chicago.

Freight rates worked ont by tariff
experts for the Illinois and Michigan
canal commissioners have been made
public and show that shippers along
the Illinois and Mississippi rivers
could save thousands OF dollars an
nuaily by using the canal route to
Chicago markets instead Of shipping
by rail.
According to the figures given by
the commissioners the average rate
per ton mile on any kind Of bulk
goods going to Chicago by barge
would be 2 mills. On the other hand
the interstate commerce commission
reports that the lowest rail rate aver
age is 6 mills per ton mile--this on
