ANNUAL MEETING
OF BASEBALL CLUB
Public Meeting viii be Held in the
Superior Court Room Tuesday
Evening Next
Week.
EXPECT A BIG CROWD
Financial Report to be Read and the
Election Of Directors for
Next Year VIII
Be Held.
EXPECT A BIG CROWD

The annual meeting of the Keokuk
baseball club will be held at the SUI
perior court room Tuesday evening at
1870 o'clock, it was announced today
by Louis Sterne, secretary of the club. !
The meeting will be open to the pub
lie and all loyal base ball fans should
turn out and give the club their sup
port If the city is to remain In the
Central Association next year
The principal business of the meet
ing will be to elect the directors for
next year, and to hear the reports. The
financial report is, of course, the main
one to be considered, and should prove
interesting to all the fans. Base ball
is considered by most cities to be a
big asset to the town, despite the fact
that in practically every minor league
city the clubs lose money every year.
The only way club can be main
tanned in any minor league city is for
the business men and all others inter
ested in the welfare Of the city to turn
out to the meetings and offer their sup
port. Baseball has helped this city to
a great extent and there probably are
very few people who would want the
club dropped out of the league. Some
| people are glad enough for the chance
to see the games but turn up shy when
/ it comes to giving real support.
1t is believed that the financial re-
port will show the club to be in bet
ter condition this year than they have
ever been before. The sale Of players
| to teams in better leagues and the
money received from players drafted
4 by other clubs will go long way to
ward making up the deficit lost during
i the playing season II this is true
there should be no question about
having q team next year.
