Rain prevented the practice of the

M'GOORTY-KLAUS
BATTLE WAS HUMMER

The famous battle between the late
Stanley Ketchell and Billy Papke, in
1908, fas brought, to the minds of many
fans at the clash between Eddie Nc
Goorty, the Wisconsin middle weight
champion and Frank K1ausy the Pitts
burgh bearcat, as he is called. Nc
Goorty and Klaus gave a splendid IL
lustration Of how the Ketchell- Papke
battle was fought, for they fought like
twaS yong buds al the way through
10 rounds and at the end was a good
draw, with the shade, if such a thing
is permissible, in favor of the Wiscon-
sin lad. The Pittsburgh boy was the
one to make it a great fight, for he
carried the battle to McGoorty from
the tap of the gong till the final bell,
and it was Eddie's wonderful left hand
that kept his man off and made it such
a hair-raisingH contest to watch. The

Cubs Win 10 Inning Battle At

The game was ragged, and poor
plays were as important factors In 1t

hammered hard, he might have last

had not been punched in the fourth

White Sox- In that inning Chappelle,

grand stand.

fans certainly got their moneys worth
and the two fighters knew they had
been through more than an ordinary
mill In long fight the odds might
favor Klaus especially If infght1ns
were permitted, for he was a glutton
for punishment, and hard straight
1efts to the face and right crosses did
not see INTO phase him. When he did
land he made the Badger boy vince
and some of his glancing blows cut
Eddie about the eye and mouth. They
fought under clean break rules, but
for a, while they forgot instructions
and began to work the old tnhght1ng
stunt until Referee Stout stopped the
bout for a few seconds and explained
the rules again. His Interpretation,
however, was more liberal this time
and they fought while in close as long
as they were not in holds. This style
worried klaus more than McGoorty,
for the former depends greatly on IN
fight ting to wear his man down. Ed
dies left hand never worked to better
advantage and 1t carried considerable
weight back of it. He has a marvel
Gus left and Klaus can testify to Its
unerring aim. The two men could
well be matched in long fight and the
winner would sure be in line for a
championship match with the winner
of a Clabby-Dillon bout. Klaus stated
after the fight that he had met lots
OF middle weights, but that McGoorty
had the best left of all of them. 1t is
not likely that Klaus will go to France
as reported, for Manager George En-
gel says there is more money here for
him.
Willie Ritchie. the champion light
weight was an interested spectator at
the McGoorty-Klaus fight and stated
that he would like nothing better than
to meet any of three men here-Wol-
CAST. Charlie White or Packey .McFar-
land-but he stated that Mcfarland
will have to make 135 pounds sringsfde,
a weight that is almost impossible for
the Chicago boy to make and be
strong.
Ritchie said he intended to keep his
date with Tommy Murphy in New
York, Oct. II, and may possibly take
a match in Milwaukee before going
back to the coast, where he expects
to have 20-round battle before Jimmy
Coffroth's club. The Queensbury club
of Milwaukee, which has seating ca
pacity for over 10000 people, will likely
stage any match that Richie may
have in Milwaukee. Willie also took
time to say that Harry Pollock man
ager of Fred welsh, was the cause OF
the match being called off at VAN
couver He says he is not opposed to
meeting Welsh but that he will not do
business with MT. Pollock, so it is up
to the British champion to do his own
business for a Ritchie match If he
wants one.

THREE POSSIBILITIES

Raised.
POSSIBILITIES

Directors OF the Keokuk Baseball
| association met with Carl Lundgren,
ex-Cub pitcher last night and talked
over the matter of the former big
lsaguer taking charge of the local
club for the season of 1913.
Lundgren arrived in the city in re-
Spouse to message sent Friday, ask
| ing him to come here and talk with
the directors and upon his arrival
went to the offices of the Baker Real
Estate Company, where the directors
we're gathered
Late last night it was said that
! there had been no actual talk of
terms with Lundgren, the directors
not wishing TO sign anyone until the
balance OF the $4,000 has been raised.
They are now within $500 of the re-
lquired amount and hope to secure
this by the first of the week.
The visit of Lundgren is not to be
taken as sure sign of his retention
as manager. according to statements
by several of the directors last night.
but merely to talk with him in an ef-
fort to be able to pick the right man,
one who will be able to take the team
through the season.
Several other managerial possible
ties are due to arrive in Keokuk dur
ing the coming week, SO that it will
be more Or less of scrap among
| them as to the man for the job. Many
of the fans like Lundgren because of
| his big league experience and his
wide acquaintance with ball players.
Others like Manusch from his work In
this beat last season and still others
are in favor of George Speers, who
lead the Muskogee club to two sue
cessiye remnants.
Any of this trio would be likely
managers and would be welcome re-
lief from the near managing that has
been put before the people of keokuk
in the past several years.
Contracts were mailed TO the fol-
lowing men last week: Hilly, Madigan,
, Tisch, MoeiIer, Jones, Holdren, Cots
chall and Tierney. To date none of
these have been returned. Hilly de-
ciares that he is through with base
ball and his friends say that he will
stick to his announcement Of his re-
tirement from the game Pat has the
making of mighty good bali player
and his many friends in Keokuk and
/ the Central Association will be sorry
to see him leave the game. His pres.
ent work though promises him more
than he can get out of baseball and
he insists that he is through.
i AS soon as the required amount is
raised. the directors will get busy and
select a manager and the work OF
signing up players will begin. With
any of the present managerial timber
in sight, it will not be difficult to sign
players of ability and Keokuk is /. ok
ing forward to the best baseball yeai
Of It's career.
