the federal senate to expel Lorimer
and Stevenson for manifest purchase
of their election? What other reason
is discOverable for the substantial as
sassination of the antitrust laws of

WORK OF VANDAL
rs DISCOVERED
Drinking Fountain at nth and Main
Streets Found to be Stopped
up by Cigar Stump.

A few days ago the bubbling drink
ing fountain at 18th and Main over
flowed. The plumber who was sent
by the committee of the Civic League
to look after it found that a cigar
stump had been thrown into the foun-
tain stopping up the pipes.
It is incredible that any one should
be such a yandal as to wilfully fnJure
a fountain which is in constant use
by the public. The fountains were
placed on Main street by public splr-
tied people free of cost to the public
and for general use. Such vandalism
Is a disgrace to our city.

TEAMS HAVE BIG GAMES
BOOKED FOR SATURDAY
All the Big Teams have Hard Fights
Tomorrow for Place In National
and Sectional Titles.

United Press Leased Wire Service. l
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Nearly all of
the big football elevens have hard
games scheduled for tomorrow. Two
games will be played on which hinge
the national championship. Harvard
and Princeton must put Brown and
Dartmouth, respectively, out of the
running, or themselves be eliminated
from the race. Yale anticipates a
lively struggle with Washington and
Jefferson but expects to win.
Several games will he played on
which sectional titles depend. Car.
Isle and Georgetown are booked to
fight for the honors in the middle At
lantic states. Syracuse, after a ser
les of severe trouncings, meets Mich.
igan at Syracuse, where another de
feat is expected at the hands of the
Wolverines. Navy has hard battle
scheduled with Pittsburgh. but Army
will enjoy a rest after the strenuous
Yale contest by working out with Col
gate. None Of the games in the west
will affect the big eight championship
unless Chicago loses to Purdue which
is not thought likely.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
TO REDUCE SALARIES
President chivington Calls Meeting
For Purpose Of Cutting Salaries
OF Players.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. j
CHICAGO, Oct 25.--A big cut In
the salaries of players in the Ameri-
can Association was forecasted today
following the announcement that the
club owners had been called to this
city by President Thomas Chivington
on October 81 Word has been pass
ed around that of the clubs In the as
sociation, only Minneapolis and Kan
sas City have made money In the
last two seasons. The others 1t was
said, have been lucky II they have
broken even.
.Magnates OF the organization say
there are many men in the associa-
ton teams receiving better salaries
than many of the lesser lights OF the
major league clubs, and that they are
forced to make general reduction
in salaries If the association is per
petuated. The magnates are backed
by the owners of major league clubs
and likely will be supported by the
National Commission, the supreme
court Of baseball.

MOTOR BOAT PLANS
WILL BE GIVEN OUT
Plans Of New Clubhouse and Cost of
Building VIII be Made Public
Next Wednesday.

Next Wednesday night, the Keokuk
Motor Boat Club will give definite in
formation as to the plans for their new
clubhouse and the opening of the
campaign for members and funds for
the annual regatta OF the Mississippi
River Power Boat Association.
The club held their regular semi
monthly meeting last night at the Of
flee of the Decker Manufacturing com
pany and after looking over the plans
and specifications that have been sub
mitted decided to announce the selec
ton OF them at the next meeting. The
time when the new building will be
started will also be made known al
that time
Plans for the 1913 regatta will also
be made public and the citizens vii
be asked to lend their help to tn,
committees in preparing for the BIZ
meeting which will bring from fifteer
to thirty thousand people here.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-10-25

the remaining seven cities decide to
Dust this city, which Is harly prob
able,' declared President Mason.
The rumor had Hannibal fans wor-
rying because 1t was SO persistent,
but the announcement Of President
Mason means that Hannibal will en-
joy another season of baseball and
the fans here believe the present COM
plexion OF the league is good enough.
The circuit is in good financial cir
cumstances and to change might
raean a proposition that would lose
money.
President Mason's plan for the con-
tinuance OF baseball here seems a
feasible one. In the first place the
fans must raise $1,000 before the first
of the year to assure that the city
will have baseball next season. This
amount was raised In 1917 and Mr..
Mason has no reason to believe why
1t is not possible to do it again.
The Courier is also responsible for
the first word Keokuk has had re-
garding the Fairfield high school team
that plays here Saturday. A win over
Fairfield would put Keokuk in line
for the state championship and there
will be some battle at Hubinger park
tomorrow. The Fairfield correspon-
dent of the Courier gives the follow
ing dope:
Fairfield, Oct. 24.-Fairfeld high
schools football team goes to Keokuk
Saturday for a game with the high
school team Of that city. Thus far
this season the locals have not been
defeated and some hard practice work
is being gone through with these last
few days in anticipation of the hard
battle of Saturday.
Keokuk high has good fast team
this year and the members have al
ready boosted that the Fairfield lads
would come home defeated. The
locals are not saying much but II
fast hard work counts as it should
they are not afraid of their opponents
Fairfield high is playing this year
for the state championship and il
the team can bring home victory
Saturday the team will stand splen.
did show of bringing the champion.
ship to this city.
A number Of rooters will accompany
the team to Keokuk for this game.
