VIII Begin In Good shape.

IN starting the season, the Keokuk
Baseball Association will be In bet.
ter shape than 1t has for MANY
years, enough money having been
pledged to carry the club through the
summer on an estimated attendance
of 10000. The association is almost
free from Indebtedness and there win
be no trouble in making an excellent
showing.
In selecting managers, there Will
doubtless be more or less criticism
Manusch is the man signed by the di.
rectors and many fans have their
favorites. However Manusch has fol
several years shown his ability as &
player and under the tutelage of Net
Egan last year, Is said to have pick
ed UP many ideas.
The new manager is well acouaint
ed with baseball men and will a
once begin a campaign for players !
is considered likely that he will dis
pose of many of the players now o
the reserve list and build up an Ell
tirely new club.

Many Pledges Conditional.

The above statement was given
out by the baseball directors this
morning and will be welcome news
to the fans who have been anxiously
waiting for weeks for some word from
the directors, which would give them
definite assurance that Keokuk would
be in the Central Association.
Many of the pledges were condi-
tional, to be paid only when the total
amount of $4,000 had been raised. The
hard work of the committee is re-
sponsible for the present jubilant
state of mind of the bugs and many a
ian will crawl into bed tonight with a
prayer of thanks on his lips for the
preservation of the few whose inter
est in baseball was sufficient to allow
them TO get out and raise the neces-
sary cash to put It over for another
year.
