Local High School Football Team
Suffers Defeat at Hands Of
Burlington In That
City.
FINAL SCORE; 9 TO 0
Local Lads Not In Usual Form Ac.
counts for Result of Game
jenkins Plays Good
Game.

BURLINGTON, Oct A. keokuk
and Burlington met here today on
the foot ball field with the result that
the locals won the game by the score
of nine to nothing. Burlington won
the game on account of their good
open field playing. With the exception
of few minutes of the second half
when the Keokuk team seemed to for
get that they were playing and the
locals carried the ball almost at will
the game was good one to watch in
spite of many fumbles and incomplete
forward passes.
jenkins was not in his usual form
and allowed couple OF punts to get
away from him that caused trouble.
His kicking was not up to form either
but this was due to the poor passing
and not to his inability. Huiskamp
and Vaughan played coed consistent
games but neither did the brilliant
work the Keokuk coach expe-ted them
to show Cowles and Noelke with
the able assistance of Captain Lamme
were the best ground gamers for the
locals and it was Cowles who carried
the ball around the end for a twenty
FIVE yard run to touchdown in the
second quarter. The locals had ad-
vanced the hall to within striking dis
lance by the use of their open plays
and fake formations.
IN spite OF the fact that his work
in running back punts was not UP to
his usual form, Jenkins was the best
ground gamer for the visitors and his
consistent line plunging and good end
runs coupled with his passing ability
gaTe Keokuk their only chance to
score The purple and white had adj
vanced the ball TO Burlington's thirty
yard line when jenkins tried a drop
kick and missed only by inches Drum
mond for the visitors and Lamme for
the locals could be found In almost
every play and 1t was owing to their
work that the game was such good
one.
Benner made the three points adj
ditional to Cowles end run on a
beautiful goal from placement from
Keokuk's thirty yard line. The kick
was good one and the ball sailed as
straight through the posts as il It
had been shot out of gun.
The Keokuk team need not feel dis
couraged over their defeat as they
played a good game and fought from
the beginning of the game until the
referees whistle ended things. The
Burlington line held better than that
of the visiting eleven and on defense
seemed to charge harder and to get
away faster.
Nearly the entire first quarter the
ball was in Burlington territory and
it looked bad for the locals until
they got to going good in the second
quarter

Telegraph Companies Prepare.

On the eve of the great battle the
demand for the news is SO great that
the telegraph companies have made
preparations to carry bulletins of the
progress of the games into every lit
tie village In the United States, Can
ada and Cuba Every daily paper in
the country has ordered at least the
score by innings and in every city Of
$500 population or over the press will
carry a running story OF the games an
they proceed.
1t Is estimated that over ten thou
sand telegraph operators will be re-
quired to send, receive and relay the
reports Of the games. At least one
hundred wires will be strung into each
of the ball parks. and these will reach
out into relay wires that will cover
the entire country and Canada News
will also be flashed by wireless and
cable to Europe, Cuba and every other
place where the game is played.
Reservations Will be made at both
fields to handle from $50 to 800 special
writer's in addition to the regular base
ball reporters. The morning newspa-
per men, who will not use the wires
during the game will keep them hot
at night. and 1t will require full corps
of operators to send their stuff"

Nothing causes more interest than

1t is safe to say that at least fifty mil.

keen interest all the latest news of the

then reading the details in the papers

In some OF the smaller towns and

telegram after the game from the

NEW YORK, Oct. ALL reserved

the polo grounds as was advertised.

about 5000 reserved seats. More than
10000 applications were received for
these Seats
With this information coming from
headquarters, the clash between the
two premier baseball teams of the
country has stirred up great interest.
Last year after all demands had been
met there were about 1000 reserved
seats to be put up at open sale. This
year there is no such luck for the out
slider. The national commission gets
a certain number of tickets without

With this situation 1t Is certain
that the greatest crowd in the history
of baseball will storm the Polo

unreserved seats which will be solo
