IS SEASON HERE
TO Be SHORTENED?
President Justice Leaves for New
York to Attend a Meeting Called
For All Minor League
Officials.
THE POOR ATTENDANCE
Thought Likely That Season VIII be
Shortened to August First and
Allow Leagues TO Retain
Franchises.

That the baseball situation is seri-
GUS all over the country is shown by
the fact that the members OF the ma.
tional board. composed Of representa-.
tives of all the minor leagues, 'have
been called to an important meeting
in New York. President Justice, rep.
reserting the Central Association, has
already left.
1t Is thought that the meeting is
called for the purpose of shortening
schedules all over the country, in or
der to let the minor leagues break
about even on the financial end OF
the game and authorize this act so
that the franchises and players may
be retained.
Poor attendance is responsible for
this action. Not only in the minor
leagues is this true but also in the
major. 1t has been estimated by base
ball authorities and league officials
that the attendance this year has fall
len off over twenty-five per cent, with
almost as great decrease last year
Sport writer's all over the country harr
upon the lack of interest in baseball
land say that the game has worn itself
out and that the American people
must have new sport before long.
1t Is said by an officer of the local
club that the season will be shorten
ed to August first in all probability
at the meeting being held in New
York. He says that President Justice
is in favor Of this and that he has the
support of Central Association off
GERS for the action. 1t is we'll knowr
that none of the C. A. teams are max
! ing money. Only last week Ottumws
had to send out call for help from
the fans and retained their franchise
in the Central Association only will
the help OF fans who contributed tt
the team In one and two dollar sub
scriptions. It looks very much nov
that there will be similar situation
in Keokuk unless the attendance a
the home series attracts a large at
tendance. President Griffey say,
that the team can get along better OF
the road than they can at home ant
that is the only way that he can Sc,
for them to finish the season at all
It Is likely that the directors will asl
the fans to contribute before Ions
and insure Keokuk baseball for tn,
balance of the season.

/ STOCKHOLM, July 12.-Americans
kept up their. winning exhibitions in
the Olympic games today, sweeping
| the boards In the finals of the 10
meter hurdles. landing first honors In
the running broad jump with new
Olympic record. and getting second
and third places in the throwing OF
the discus.
Despite this showing, however,
there was great disappointment over
the result of the discus throw. Jim,
Duncan, holder of the worlds record,
was expected to have an easy time
here, but the best he could do was
to annex the solitary point that goes
with third honors. Taipale, the giant
Finn, threw the dish" 148 feet, w
inches, far beyond the best mark Of
the Americans
When three American flags APP
peared on the poles indicating clean
sweep in the lilo meter hurdles, the
Swedes in the great stadium stands
demonstrated the popularity of the
victory by prolonged cheering by sec
tons, in which the king, who was in
the royal box, led.
There was an impressive scene In
the stadium when the flag of Sweden
was hoisted on all three Of the poles,
when the result of the modern PEN
tathlon was announced. Hitchcock OF
Sweden was first with n points; AS
brink, Sweden, second, with 30 points
and Delaval, Sweden, third with thir-

which included shooting, swimming,

About Your Vacation.

Karl de Schweinitz, Executive secre.
tary, the Pennsylvania society for the
prevention of tuberculosis, gives this
good advice on the vacation habit:
Just about now you are making plans
for your vacation. See to it that you go
to heslthful place. Don't tolerate con-
ditions that you would not endure in
your own home Many people who are
very particular about their drinking
water aud their milk when they are at
home are careless about both when they
go away.
Last Summer a number of persons who
had been at certain resort returned
home with typhoid fever. Don't make
the mistake they did, but inquire about
the water and milk supply of the place
you expect to visit. If you have small
children with you, it is especially i'm
portant that you be particular about the
milk. Dirty milk may bring the germs
of tuberculosis to the child who is very
susceptible to that disease. BE as parti-
cular about the boarding house or the
hotel where you will spend your vaca-
ton as you would be in renting or buying
a new house in which to live.
Don't swim or bathe in dirty water.
You are almost sure to get some of i, into
your mouth and if typhoid fever germs
are present you will probably contract
the disease. Above all things select a
vacation place from which you will not
return physically and mentally tired,
but from which you will come back with
refreshed mind and sound body.

ROOT is TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.

The great Republican convention was
organized at Chicago yesterday, Senator
Elihu Root, of New York, being elected
temporary chairman, the vote standing
55S for Root to 5O2 for Governor Nc
Govern of Wisconsin, whom the Roose-
welt delegates supported. There were 10
scattering votes and 5 that did not vote.
A motion to strike from the roll ~ con-
tested delegates accorded to President
Taft by the National committee and the
substitution of the Roosevelt contestants,
was postponed until today.
Much of the excitement and strife that
has been predicted would prevail was con-
spicuous by its absence, and apparently
the convention is proceeding in an order
ly manner. 1t is not expected that
ballot for President will be reached be-
fore Friday.
