DES MONIES, Iowa, July 25.-
Roosevelt enthusiasm of the most pro-
nonnced sort marked the closing
scenes in the first Iowa state progress
sive party convention here when a
platform containing plank declaring
for the direct election Of postmasters
by their constituencies was adopted
with three affirmative cheers. There
was no negative vote.
The convention chose full set of
delegates to the national convention
at Chicago, headed by Judge J. l..
Stevens of Boone; organized a work.
ing state central committee and pro-
vided for congressional, district and
county organization.
The platform, in addition to the
proposed reform in the selection of
postmasters. is mainly devoted to ma
|tional issues. 1t condemns the repub-
lican national committee at Chicago,
severely criticises President Taft as
La reactionary and denounces what is
alleged to be his subserviency to the
special interests, eulogizes Theodore
Roosevelt as the foremost man of
the world" and declares for his nom

tial primaries in the election of Unit

critics, and protective tariff, Suited

EDDIE HERR GIVES
Up HANNIBAL TEAM
Disappointed over the Poor Showing
of the cannibais Herr Tenders
His Resignation to the
Directors.
PAINTER TAKES CHARGE
Painter Announces That no Changes
VIII be Made at Once and That
One Player Will
Be Sold.
PAINTER TAKES CHARGE

Euulc neTT, the popular manager OIL
the Hannibal club, disappointed over
the showing that his club has made
this year, yesterday rendered his res
ignation to the directors of the club.
The resignation of Herr was accepted
by them and Ed Painter was chosen
to take the club through the balance
of the season. The Hannibal Cour-
Sier-Post has the following to say re-
garding the change:
Disappointed over the bad breaks
the city has undergone this season
and disastrous road trips, Edward
Herr this morning resigned as mana
ger of the Hannibal baseball club.
His resignation was accepted by the
directors. Edward Painter, the local
third sacker succeeds former. mana
ger Herr as leader of the Hannibal
club, The resignation Of Herr will
come as surprise to almost every
fan in Hannibal. Painter will take
charge of the club this afternoon
when Muscatine begins three days
series on the home lot.
Probably no manager in the league
has experienced any more bad luck
and trouble in gathering the Hannibal
club together than has Eddie Herr.
He built an eighth place club to a
team now ranking two notches high
err on the Central association ladder.
The luck has been breaking bad for
the club the majority of the season
and as result Herr rendered his
resignation this morning at a confer
ence of the directors held this morn
| ing at the Mark Twain hotel.
Herr May Scout.
1t is likely that Herr will accept a
position as scout for some major
league club as he had several offers
this season. He is a good Judge OF
baseball players and understands
every phase of the national pastime.
Like Herr, Painter knows the game
in every detail and 1t Is hoped by
every bug that the club takes a big
winning streak which would land
= tnem III the IlTSL Q1YlSlOH. RAINIER Is
an experienced baseball head and
should make the Hannibal club an
I ideal manager. He has been in the
I game for some years and still can
smack and field the ball.
The entire club has been turned
over to Painter by the directors. 1t
is likely that no changes will be
! made by Painter for awhile at least
/ If the club lands a winning streak
/ then it is hardly possible that anoth-
er change, in players will take place
before the season ends.
The directors announce that at
least two players will bring the draft
price this fall and it is probable that
! one player will be sold before the
drafting season begins.
Painter will continue to play the
far corner for the club. A player to
succeed him as captain of the Hanni.
bal club probably will be appointed
this afternoon or tonight.

Sporting Views
By the Editor

Eddie Wray, who Is out OF the
game on account OF his refusal to pay
the fine which Agur hung on him a.
Burlington last week, came in yester-
day and watched that game from the
grand stand It is likely that he will
play in this afternoons game. Wheth.
er or not he will be taken back re-
mains with Prout, who is expected
here today.
Barnes cannot be censured for the
loss of yesterdays game. The team
behind him is responsible for the d.
feat. Only two of the five hits that
the Speed Boys secured were other
than the scratch variety and neither
of them would have done any damage
had the Indians played baseball.
Ward Bros. Cigar store was the
scene of an informal reception this
morning shortly after the Kansas
City ball team arrived in town. All
the old friends of Red Corridor
were there en- masse to shake hands
with the former Indian and the place
was crowded all day with his admir-
ers. Old time baseball history was
repeated with newcomers to the city
| standing around with open mouth and
ears drawn forward, listening to the
/, tales of games won and lost and the
thrilling adventures of the former
Keokukian in big league pastures.
It is reported that Muscatine is try
/ ing to make dicker with Penning-
! ton regarding trade in which Pitch
er SAKE and Clayton are the prin-
ciples.
1 George Huff, the Cleveland scout,
/ looked over Barnes yesterday and was
well pleased with the way the young
| ster worked, but will wait and look
/ him over again in couple of weeks
1 before making a bid for him. Hilly
/ and Sloan are also under the eye OF
/ the major league hunter.
The two games tomorrow viii be the
i last chance that the Keokuk bugs will
have to see the Ottumwa Speed Boys
4 in action this season. This Is their
last whirl around the circuit in this
direction and as the two games will
] be played for one admission price, q
big crowd Is expected to attend tbs
games. The Speed Boys are playing
great ball now, as was evidenced
when they came from behind yester
day and can be depended upon to PLAY
baseball all the time.

Games Today and Tomorrow.

To Ted Price. holder of the indica-
tor in President Justices circuit, be-
longs the win over the Indians yes
terday His decision in calling fly
from the bat of Big Chief John
House, in the sixth inning, fair from
position just in front of the pitcher,
where he had no possible chance to
see the ball, turned the tide and re
suited in two scores that tied the
game UP. Immediately thereafter the
Redmen made an ascension into the
dome of the universe and before they
made their thrilling drop. six tallies
had been counted.
Prices work throughout the game
was poor, his decisions on balls and
strikes the worst that has been seen
here since Spencer's time. He was
loudly hooted all through the game by
the fans who were very much disgust
ed by his work
For five innings Barnes held the
0ttumwa sluggers helpless, allowing
them only three scattered hits, but in
the sixth, with one man down, Man
usch was safe when Grogan threw the
ball away trying to catch the fleet

on the nose and it lit a foot foul
down the third base line, but Price
called 1t fair. without taking the trou-

to catch Wise at first and House went
to third while Wise took second on

scoring House and Dunn followed
with a screamer past Bresnahan
which allowed Wise and Kline TO
score. Link got in the game with a
hit to center and Kensel flew out to
Hilly. Sullivan drew base on wide
ones and senno scored Link with a
single to left Manusch ended the
fun by grounding ont to Kelly. After
this the visitors were held safely, for
the Indians frightened up. but Barnes
was jerked in the eighth In favor OF
Sloan, who did not allow one of them
to touch first.
The Indians got in the ln-getting
record first by pushing couple
across in the the second inning. This
lead was enough to look big until the
visitors uncorked their luck in the
sixth. Jones started the second by
getting in the way OF one of Jimmy
Dunn's fast ones and was sacrificed
to second by Hilly. Queisser and
Ginter singled, bringing Ginter over
with the first tally. Summers Whit.
fed at the steamy atmosphere, but
Barnes helped in the other run with
single to right that brought the
boss over. Ginter spoiled the chances
for another by being thrown out BIZ
perfect peg by senno to Kline They
were never within striking distance
of run after this inning.
