WHIT NEY BEATS
ABEL, BUT GETS
ONLY A DRAW
BY W. s. Farnsworth.

II RANK WHITNEY was robbed
OF a ten-round decision I'm his
battle with Jake Abel at the
Dixie A. {. last night when Referee
riike Saul declared the mill = draw.
1t was whitney's bout al the way,
except in the last two spasms
Whitney did all the forcing did
all the infighting. landed the most
and hardest blows, and even out
boxed Abel The first eight rounds
belonged to Frank The ninth was
even. and the tenth was Abel's by a
narrow margin.
But AbePs rooters made the most
noise. and this probably ratified
Saul to such an extent that he de-
clared the bout an even thing. Mike
is honest and no one can question
that, but he was way of color
when he rendered his award
Frank Sends Rights to Head.
There was little fighting in the
first round although Whitney man
aged TO hook two hard rights to tho
face. Those two blows gave Frank
the round.
In the second round Abel jabbed
twice with his left, but he had felt
the sting Of Whitney's right. and
ne did not throw himself forward

even sting his man Clinch fol

fore the bell rang, Frank slipped
two lefts and q night 10 the head.
whitney began TO realize in the
third round that he could even out
box his opponent. and time and
again he beat Abel 10 the punch
with hi. left hand. Whitney jam
med a right to the body, and as il
landed Abel half way slipped TO the
door. Abel finally managed 10 con-
meet with left that sent Whitney's
head back. but Frank got in close
and made a punching bag out OF
Abefs stomach, A right hook to
the nose earned first blood for
Whitney.
The fourth round was the slow
est OF the ten, but what little work
was done belonged to Whitney, and
all that was while the men we're

Abel started of the tfth by shoot

face but in return Whitney sent
two light lefts and a wicked right

Demon RUNS Crushing Wallops
Cost Amos RuSie the Chance of
Being Games Greatest Hurler

"Hoosier Cyclone in his prime He
was a good natured, fun loving
youngster when he first became a
Giant, and hardly took the game
seriously enough. He was easily
led astray. and it was unfortunate
that his career began at a time
when discipline was lax and feeble
management prevalent Many
players during the Brotherhood
year (1Ss0) had no thought OF the
years to come In the game and
looked upon a baseball season more
as a hurrah time of pleasure than
matter OF business.
This was possibly the youthful
Rusie's misfortune He was easily
tempted and was not under proper
control He pitched grand ball dur
ing 1890. One game of eleven in
nings that he worked against Char
ley Nichols, OF the Boston club.
resulted in a victory for the Giants.
1 to 0, Mike Herman winning the
game by home run over the right
field fence-the longest hit ever
made on the grounds, the spot
whore the ball went over the fence
being marked by a small flag for
several years.
Rusie continued to do grand
pitching through 1891, '02, OS, O4.
'05 and '06, during which time he,
with Jouett Meekin. pitched the
Giants to victory over the cham
pion Baltimores for the Temple cup.
But during the years of his great
est success Amos continued his
drinking habits, often to excess,
and in 1895 he was heavily fined
for a row he got into in Baltimore
during a drinking bout. He re-
fused to play IN 1895 because the
fine was not RENTED. That was a
big mistake. for his years lay-off
was very detrimental to his ability,
and although he rejoined the
Giants in 1897 and was with them
in 1898, his once great ability had
waned, and he was released to the
Cincinnati club. And, fatefully, it
was his old team, the Giants. that
gave him his big league congo by

MOST BEAUTIFUL

fornia is to know today the name Of
its most beautiful girl. The world is
later to revel in her beauty when her
picture appears on posters advertising
the Portol Festival soon to be held by
the city of San Francisco. These
posters will be sent to all corners of

here to the festival they will be given
the honor of beholding the original
unless some importunate sutton cap
lures her and carries her off before
the festival opens.
Six weeks ago the committee in
charge of the festival hung up purse
of 500 for a picture of the prettiest
girl in the state. The committee
wanted her likeness to embellish the
poster. Photographs came in thicker
than applications to President Wilson
for jobs. For many days the judges
scanned the array of glorious Cali

WARDS ARE COMPARED
Inspectors Declare That the Record
Of Last Year Was Beaten
in This Cam
paisn.

The report OF VIM. Ballinger on the
inspection of the city on Cleanup
Day" yesterday shows that civic
pride is strong In the city, especially
In the banner ward, the sixth. Mr..
Ballinger in his report says:
In company with Mr.. John De-
Witt, manager Of the Keokuk Indus
trial Association, made on yesterday
pretty thorough inspection of the
condition of the alleys in the entire
city Of Keokuk and both Of us are
very much pleased with the result.
This inspection was more thorough
than last year AMI not only included
most all points accessible to an auto
mobile but in some cases we left the
automobiles to inspect alleys that
could not otherwise be seen.
'1t is generally conceded by our
citizens that the alley cleaning last
year was quite thorough and we be-
lieve all our people were we'll pleased.
1t is the opinion of both Mr.. Dewitt
and myself that the clean up this year
is somewhere from Ave to ten per
cent better than year ago.
ut will be interesting to note some
comparisons by wards. 1t is our opin-
ion that the sixth ward is the banner
ward OF the city. In this ward we
saw only two small piles of ashes and
two manure piles. The fifth and sew
enth wards are in nearly as good con-
dition as the sixth and the fourth
ward is only little behind them.
There is very little choice between
the first, second, and third wards, but
these wards are also in nice condition.
In cleanliness, therefore the sixth
ward stands first, the fifth and sew
enth wards second, the fourth ward
third. and the first, second, and third
wards fourth We believe that a still
better work can be done next year.
II wish to express my thanks and
those of the general committee for
the efficient aid of first and above all
the newspapers, and next to Mr.. De
Witt and his office. and next to the
superintendent Of the different wards
to Mrs. Reeves and the Civic League
and to the lieutenants. both female
and male in the different blocks.
This does not quite end the matter.
for / have one very important word
still to say. We found some ash piles
and manure piles and piles of rub
Dish in all OF the wards, for the exist
ence of which there is no excuse. Any
citizen who reads this article will
know at once whether he or she is
included in this list.
''In behalf of the general commit
tee and in behalf of keokuk and of
those who have cleaned UP ask such
citizens to at once finish the work by
removing the piles Of ashes and ma
nure about which each one Is fully
conscious without my mentioning
names. ask also that each lieuten-
ant again cast his eye over his alley
and see that this is done at once.
Nearly all have cleaned up and those
who have not should Immediately fol
low their example.
