BY BILLY EVANS.

Base ball furnishes some of the most
extraordinary alibis imaginable. Two
that I.recall as originated by Ping Bodie
of the White Sox and Hank Perry. for
time with Detroit, are decidedly out OF
the ordinary.
When Perry joined the Tigers his repu-
tation as a slugger had preceded him.
The Detroit outfield was such a strong
one. however, that it was impossible for
Perry to break in as a regular. Several
times Jennings sent him to bat in the
pinch. and each time he responded with
long drives that were captured by the
outfield. Knowing that Perry hit the
ball hard when he connected, the out
fielders played extremely deep for him.
Each time after flying out Perry came
back to the Detroit bench the picture
of disgust
A few days later, with the bases filled
and two down. jennings yanked out the
pitcher and sent Perry in to bat. he
urged him to take a crack at the ball
and break up the game. Perry, as he
stepped to the plate, noticed that the
fielders backed up almost to the fence
for him. Perry had an idea. He de-
cided he would pull the unexpected. The
pitcher, knowing that Perry could hit.
tried to get him to go after a bad ball.
but Perry refused. Finally the count
stood three balls and no strikes 1t was
a cincn that the pitcher would try to
get the next one over, for IL he fai' ed

How keokuk Boy Has Won De-

In Seattle, Wash
lngton.
HE WORKED AND READ
His Recent Promotion to General
Freight and Passenger Agent
Of Railroad and Steam
ship Lines.
HE WORKED AND READ

Last Sunday morning The Gate City
gave brief announcement OF the
promotion of John H. Bunch, for
mer Keokuk hoy, to the position OF
general freight and passenger agent
of the Copper River and Northwestern
railway company and the Alaska
Steamship company, with headquar-
tiers at Seattle, Wash. There was an
encouraging story hidden within this
brief announcement
John H. Bunch Is a Keokuk boy,
born and bred, and educated in the
public schools of Keokuk He had
few chances for success in early life,
except what he made for himself. His
father, James H. Bunch, was veter-
an of the civil war, and died in Keo-
kuk only few years ago. He was a
drayman and did much work for the
business houses of this city. His son
John, when a mere lad not more than
fourteen years Of age, assisted his
father In driving a dray. He is well
remembered by many of the business
men of Keokuk. He was an artist in
his handwriting, the work from his
pen appearing like copper plate. He
possessed another excellent quality
that of reading. All his spare time
and news publications. He was not
loiterer at any time, but always
busy at something useful, either work
Or study. The one gave him the nee.
essary exercise while the other gave
him an insight into ways Of the
world. He profited by his exemplary
course.
| While here in Keokuk he got his
first lessons in railroad work In a
minor position in the freight depart
ment of the c., B. & @. railroad. He
married In Keokuk a Miss Brown, who
was the daughter of civil war vet
eran.
The western fever came upon him
and twenty-four years ago this spring
he went to Seattle and located where
he has remained most Of the time
since He has made frequent visits
to Keokuk since he left here, his last
visit being about five years ago.
keokuk people who have visited a,
Seattle and met him, speak highly oil
him as he appears in his western
home and of the thoughtful and cour
teous treatment received from him
While still resident Of Keokuk he at
tended and was probably a member
of the old Ninth and Bank street
Methodist church and was always 6
popular and exemplary young man.
The lesson taught in this is that e
pull is not always the best asset II

the line. Here, too, are practically
all of the historical buildings OF New
Orleans. The old Hotel Royal, once
the state house when the capitol was
in New Orleans, is now in state Of
