Indian leader was SO big that he could
not see them. 1t Is also said that
when Queisser questioned one of his
decisions at Muletown, McCarty said,
What do you care? Let's get the
game over
Spencer's action yesterday in put
ting Pennington out Of the game and
the park was entirely uncalled for.
Penny was not on the field long
enough to say anything that would
Justify the action and even then did
not say nearly as much as Jimmy Dro-
han did.
The umpires seem to have made 1t
up between them that there shall be
no talk or coaching during the game
and the fans are yelling about this
feature that has always been one of
the. main attractions of the game. AS
Queisser says, What is this7 A deaf
and dumb gamer
Pennington announced the signing
Of Fox, center fielder from Hartford,
Conn, last night. He will be in the
lineup today. He was with Galesburg
for while last season and is said to
be good man. Penny also said that
Fogg would be released today
Jay Andrews, manager of Kewanee
last year, has been released by st.
Joe, where he was captaining the
team and was succeeded by Joe KEEL
ly. Kelly tried out with the White
Sox this spring.
The Hawkeye has the following 70
say of the Indian lineup:
Keokuk also is giving satisfaction to
It's friends by the pretty race 1t is
making along the upper lines. Man
ager Queisser is doing good work for
his team. and keeping them In good
shape The only mistake he has
made occurred the other day in
game at Hannibal when he took his
team off the field on account OF de-
cision of the Umpire and forfeited
the game to Hannibal. Such an action
is prohibited by the rules of the asso-
citation which provides fine OF $50
against a manager who deliberately
forfeits game on any account. The
law was introduced to put stop to
the petty practice of managers vent
ing their anger over decisions by tax
ing their team off the field. The $50
fine was assessed by President Justice
in this case, and protest was made
against 1t. But after hearing the evil
dence in a special investigation IN
Hannibal President Justice refused to
annul the fine and 1t will stand.
Quiesser is new man In this cir
cult, and likely is not acquainted with
the iron clad manner in which Presi-
dent Justice conducts the manage
ment Of the leagues affairs. He is a
mighty good fellow and is making lots
Of friends, and Is sensible enough to
BEE the point when he has been called
down for an infraction OF the league s
laws, and there is no danger that he
will do it again.
The Kewanee STAR Courier has this
to say about the work Of McCarty at
Hannibal last week:
Kewanee fans were shocked to hear
that Manager Queisser of Keokuk had
been fined S. for presumed "rowdi-
ness" at Hannibal and that he had
been put out of the park by Umpire
McCarty and that he had taken his
MI i'm, fh,,o oil ~
game to be forfeited to Hannibal to
0. If Queisser had been obliged to put
up with McCarty and Agur during the
games played here he probably would
understand why there has been 80
much complaint about the work Of
these men. Kewanee fans are won
dering If Queisser will not get let
ter warning him not to be rowdylike
and threatening suspension.
The Hannibal Morning Journal
hands 1t to the Indian boss in this
way:
In Queisser the Keokuk. club has
splendid leader. He Is a man who
understands the game and how i
should be played. He is aggressive on
the field and is constantly fighting for
what he considers right. He stands
for square deal all the way. A bet
ter man for the place would be hard
to find.
Evidently the chief of the Indians is
not so popular with the Hannibal
Courier-Post scribe as this clipping
will testify.
No doubt Art Queisser manager of
Keokuk. will remember when he hits
Hannibal on the second trip. There
is very little possibility of Queisser
again acting az he did In Thnrsda,-,s
