Kewanee again today.

Game called at o'clock. Will we
be there? Well guess, If the rain
guy keeps off.
Yes, the boys are beginning to hit.
Miller and Kline might repeat their
sticking didoes again this aft. No
one will get sore If they do.
When one gets to talking about best
catchers In the league and all that
bunk and omits the name Of Joe Jenk-
ms, put it down they belong to the
Mutt club. That southern boy is right
there with bells on. He can catch,
and how he can hit when the neces-
sary time arrives.
BY the way Pat Hilly hit 500 in he
two games Friday. He got another
clean one on yesterday and his eye
seems to be returning. No one would
like to see Pat go up into higher COM
rany this year than the local bugs. 1t
is seldom ever that the scholarly out
fielder approaches the plate without
getting hand from the bunch. The
lad is base runner for fair, he and
Jack being the best leggers with the
team.
Three o'clock this afternoon and all
will be we'll.
Three out of four from the ever
Grabbing George B. would be quite
nice.
Why some in the stands will knock
when home pitcher or field player
goes off his noodle once or twice, in
half hour, the true blue bugs can't
figure out. It's a poor practice to
start hammering, especially the home
lads.
Keokuk had two double plays yes
terday Hines figured in both OF them.
in the first he tagged runner out
going from first to second, then threw
the ball to Manush to catch the fly
ing batsman. Kline to Hines to Man
ush was the second play
There are a diversity or opinions as
to the qualifications of Umpire Meier
rem as as indicator man. He has a
habit of evening up when he makes
one bum decision.
Umpire Meyer reported to the west
ern league yesterday. He was not Civ
ing satisfactory service in the Cen
trail and President Justice released
him.
Ryan. who was playing first base for
Kewanee yesterday, got an awful
crack on the left cheek bone with
fast driven ball. He held up his hands
to catch the ball but it carried to
one side, then swerved and caught the
player just at the side of the left eye.
1t is believed that the bone was
crushed, and Ryan will probably have
to retire from the games for awhile,
until the injury is healed.
Magill will probably work against
Kewanee this afternoon. Burnham,
who has been signed, will be saved for
the Monmouth series to work against
the left hand batters II Wahl gets
away as good as he did on the road,
Keokuk should take that last game of
the series this afternoon without much
trouble.

to-day, in which twenty Carranzistas
and fifteen Federals were killed.
Nearly fly soldiers were wounded.
The Carranzistas retrcated to the

Federals directly between the rebels and
Laredo so that tlpe rebel fire was di-
