Would Work Well, Bugs Say
But Manager Is satisfac-
tory at Number One.

As the race grows old in the Cen
trail Association, question springs o
the minds OF many fans who have
seen the youngsters Of the Keokuk
club In action. as to whether or not
Boss George Manush is making mis-
take in playing Frank Kline on thiro
base. To answer that question salts,
factorily would require the bringing
forward Of lot of things relative to
the strength of the inf1eld players
which would hardly be conventional
and for the most part superfluous.
Suffice to say, Kline has played
the most difficult corner on the dia-
mond in an acceptable manner with
the exception of some half dozen
occasions when games were lost
through his over-eagerness to pick
off a foreign base runner and the bal,
had gone wide of its mark or blow
skipped entirely through Franks low,
er and generous sized limbs. re
times, It is said, Manush considered
seriously, the placing of sStyx" Sem

The belief is that Kline would loon

on third; all this of course If Man

tefere.

Will Keokuk be in the Central AS
ISOLATION or any organized baseball
league next year?
This question has vexed more than
one bug and even though the present
chase for the big rag is month and
more to go, not few have pondered
over the riddle, Will Keokuk be in
organized ball in 1912" The nearest
solution to the puzzle is this: If the
city of Keokuk does not decide to cut
Fourteenth street through the ball
park and an alley running parallel
with Grand avenue, about the middle
of the age-trodden diamond, there
may be chance of playing league
ball here. If the city does decide to
cut Fourteenth street through from
Seymour street to Grand avenue and
property owners in the vicinity ask
will have to be sought and it may be
Ia year Or two before another athletic
patch can be dug up in the town
Lincoln Brooke, the owner of Hub
| niger baseball park, who makes his
home in Chicago, is perfectly willing
that the big plot should be kept in use
as ball ground, SO it seems that the
matter of playing the national game
out there depends more on local de-
sires than anything else. sir Brooke
gets very good rental from the base
| ball association during the four or FIVE
months of the year that it is used,
which goes long way toward paying
1 the taxes on some of his Keokuk real
ESTATE.
In surveying the park from general
observation, it can be seen that Four,
teenth street runs right through the
/ pitchers box and when one of the
local or visiting slab artists heaves
them over, he has his steadying toe
I on Fourteenth street somewhere be-
i tween Stripe and Grand and heaves
toward the plate which is in the gen
eral direction of Fifteenth street and
i the civil war cannon mounted at the
southeast corner of Rand park.
/ A couple of years ago when it was
thought that Lincoln Brooke was go
i ing to dispose of the ball lot, some
of the baseball directors scurried
about looking for a place and finally
hit upon fairly good looking area
! out near Hubenthal's grove. Unless

chieftan Of the Club Can't Account
for sIump-Double Header at
ottumWa Today.

There are certain reasons which
lead to the belief that some change

return of the team next Tuesday.
Whether it be the batting order a
shift in positions or what, cannot be
said with any degree of certainty at
this time. George Manusl, manager
of the team, in talking with Secretary
louis Sterne on the telephone yester-
day, from Ottumwa. stated that he
could not account for the slump
which the club has struck in the
present road engagements.
To-day at ottumwa, it is probable
that double header will be played

kahoka Business Men Beaten.

On the Memphis diamond Friday,
the Kahoka business men went down
to defeat before the Memphis bust
ness men In a baseball game that
brought out a record crowd that was
enthusiastic from the first sight of
the ball until the game was over. The
gate receipts of s12o, went to the
cemetery fund of Memphis, and the
Kahoka team showed Its very great
generosity by not accepting cent for
their expense. leaving the entire
amount in the hands of the cemetery
committee The stores were closed

game and all had a good time.

He is the lowest man with the ex.

not even batting fifty.
Can't Lay II on Pitchers.
So looking the whole business over,
1t can't be said that the group OF four
Keokuls pitchers who have been hold

loss of eight games At least five OF
those games were tight ones and four
of them were shut outs.
In connection with the batting aver.
ages, an error column is slipped along
side which shows who made the
boots, hobbies and rum plays of the
crowd. The stick department has
been weak and it may be that this
end of the work won't revive until
the club gets back on the native
patch once more. Looking things
over from bugs stand point. l,
would seem that some of those COCA,

into the works or the slump will con,

Fourteen Corps of Surveyors Are In
The Field; Land Commission to
Make Selections.
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 6-Fourteen
surveying parties are now in the field,
surveying $4,000 acres of land in
Arizona. The work is hampered by
the difficulty of securing surveyors 1t
is expected that it will be completed
in about two years.
This land is being surveyed at the
request of the state land commission,
the principal duty of which is to Sc
lect the land granted Arizona in the
statehood enabling act. After the
survey of a township has been ap-
proved. the commission has go days
to make exclusive selections therein
After the expiration of that time the
land is open to general entry.
The commissioner expects that most
of the $4,000 acres yet to be selected
under the institutional grants of the
enabling act will be secured within
the $50 townships now being surveyed.
The institutional grants total 1850, 600
acres, but 100000 acres have already
been selected.
After all the Institutional grants
have been selected, the lieu school
lands must be chosen These probably
viii not total more than half a mil"
lion acres. The state must take other
land in lieu of school land claimed by
settlers who sQuatted On it before it
was surveyed. Much school land is
included in national forests and in
dian reservations, and the state is
entitled to lieu selections.
Applications have been filed with
the commisspiOn to lease some 200 sec
lions of school land not heretofore Oc-
cupied.
A year ago 500 school land leases
were in effect and about 600 have ap-
piled for renewals. The legal time
for filing renewal applications expired
August 1 and those who have not filed
are trespassers in the eyes of the law.
Last year about $50 lessees, nearly
all in the Salt River valley. refused
to apply for renewals Some of them
were acting under the advice of at.

not eject them before paying them for
their improvements. About 100 Of
