Charley Eyton as referee, if plans
launched today by Promoter Tom Nc

fered the match to both boys. HiS
one condition is that Eyton. who is
the official referee of McCarey's Pa

in the ring.
On behalf of Rivers, Manager Joe

the proposition favorably, and, ac-
cording to McCarey, they will prob.
! ably accept formally within the next

The only thing that appears now to
stand in the way OF a second match

Present Regatta Is Being Held in
Davenport ana Is One Of
the Most Spectacular
Events.

Keokuk gets the 1913 motor boat re-
gatta, according to the pleasant word
received here yesterday by j. B. We'll.
The telegram came from Burton Wiki
inson. Of this city, commodore of the
local motor boat club, and the telegram
was sent from Davenport, where the
1912 regatta Is being held on the Mis-
sissippi river.
Local boat men have been working
consistently to secure the next regatta
fer this city, and some time ago cir
cular letters were sent out to various
boat clubs along the Mississippi river,
inviting their support Of this city as
the logical place for holding the next
regatta. First, the club from st.
Louis decided it would support this
city and SO wrote the local club, and
1 a short time afterward, Burlington as.
sured Keokuk that it would support
this city.
Local boat men were highly elated
yesterday when they learned Of the
4 action taken at Davenport. It is Ger
I tain that other clubs. aside from thu
one from st. Louis and the one from
4 Burlington, were instrumental II
i landing the regatta for Keokuk, but a
that the local boys went to Davenpor
thoroughly prepared to make win
= ming fight. The regatta at Davenpor
) has attracted large crowds to that cit.
land is a river event that each of TIL
river cities makes a strong effort t
secure, and the local men intereste'
lin the affair are considering then
selves very fortunate in securing

that were easy for them earlier in the
spring. Monmouth Is staying in the
fourth position simply because they
had big lead on Hannibal and Keo-
kuk, but are losing their position
daily. In another two weeks there Is
liable to be decided change in the
positions of all the teams, with Han
nibal just beginning to show their
real strength. while keokuk and Mus
catine are Strengthening their clubs
with new men. Galesburg is winning
and losing about even and it is doubt
full if any team can take the leader
ship of the second division from them
for any length of time The season liz
more than half gone now and the
race is not nearly as one-sided as 1t
seems from reading the daily re-
ports of the game. All of the clubs
have good chance to finish in first
division and the race from now on,
should be great one to watch.
