That doesn't sound like VAIL.
Burlington did well to get nine runs
off eight hits. OF course the errors of t
Kline, Roman. Jack and Miller helped
the Pathfinders win. Kline was play
ing in hard luck it seems. He had !
three errors and then might have
been killed by blow over the heart !
by fast driven ball
Just be glad Kline is alive today
Well make up the loss.
Roman got a couple. of hits. Jack
Miller and McGaffgan were the 9TH
erss to hit Jacobs safely.
McGaffigan, the kid Manush calis
"Snooky-ookums." played in right
field again. Seneff had no chances
after going in at third in the seventh.
Safe to say though that the little
white head would have attended to
everything with a proper showing had
things gone his way.
Imagine Joe jenkins on short.
Sounds funny to think of it; not be-
cause the best backstop on the league
can't play there but it seems more
natural to look at him coaching the
mounder along
Jack was not new behind the stick.
He has held down that job before
with Monmouth. Manush will probab-
1 ly work the little guy in as substitute
catcher and outfelder if he lets Priest
go and after McGaffgan takes his
regular position at short.
Burlington will be here Sunday.
The stands ought to be filled up to
show appreciation of a second divi-
sion header club. The scouts are
playing real base ball now. Besides,
Burlington is no mean foe.
The six runs Burlington made in
the third inning almost equals the
stunt Keokuk pulled off on Kewanee
the other day when the Indians made
/ it seven in one inning and twelve
men faced House in single frame.
! The brother sport writer on the
Burlington Gazette remarks rather
Esarcastically about Burns:
Grimes and Burns are both first
year men, and local fans will watch
their debut in the major beat with
much interest. Burns was sold to OF
tumwa for $500 by Owner Hayden a
couple Of weeks ago and since that
4 time has been hitting hard. Before
leaving here the youngster had hit a
/ number of home runs. but had done
little other hitting. He was too SLOW
4 for any position but first base, Man
,ager Rohn's position, and so was let
i go. The Tigers are badly in need of
a first sacker and young Burns
friends are anxious to see him make
4 good
Keokuk high school and an alumni
team will play at the park tomorrow
afternoon at $50. The old scholars
hope to give the youngsters plenty &c
do and the latter look for the same
dope to pan.
