NATIONAL COMMISSION
SAYS KEOKUK MUST PAY

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. THE ma
tional baseball commission yesterday
issued a notice to all national agree
ment clubs, in which it said that the
Keoluk club of the Central assoCia-
ton has failed to settle the award by
the commission against that club for

gan, and that unless the amount is
paid by Aug. s, the club viii not be
permitted to exercise the privilege
of reserving its players, all of whom
will become free agents on the term
ination of their 1913 contracts.
Furthermore the Keokuk club will
not be eligible for membership in a
national agreement league until the
claim is settled, and the Central as
sociation will not be allowed to fill
the vacancy until the debt has been
fully satisfied.
The commission also promulgated a
finding in which it sustained the award
of the national board and disallowed
the appeal OF the Green Bay club of
the Observation-Disclosures league in the
case of Player Parker, who the board
decided was entitled to six days sal,
airy from the club.

OLD BALL PLAYER IS
HANDED a SOFT JOB

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 7-Governor
John K. Tener yesterday gave a sub
stantial reward to a comrade OF his old
baseball days, when he appointed
George Wood, once a member of the
Philadelphia National league team and
. mighty outfielder and hitter, to a
good state position. Governor Tener
and Wood have been friends ever
since their ball-playing days.
About two years ago the governor
found Wood serving as a ticket taker
at the American league park in Phila-
delphia and told him he would try and
find him better job.
Soon afterward Wood was made
messenger in the Office OF the secretary
OF the commonwealth. Later he was
promoted TO clerkship in the same
office. Yesterday he became marshal
of the new public service commission
with salary Of $1,000 a year.

CORROBORATION

to be worthy of endorsement? The

the reins which he has so capably

prove a good one regarding the 1914
schedule. The plan suggested is to
offer $50 to the man who can perfect
the best schedule for the following
season, to be acted upon at the JAN

scheme ought to bring out several bid
ders, and should result in quite an
outlay of schedules.

in the field next year, although prob

is said to be a number of men in
Decatur willing to buy the franchise
and there is little doubt but that De-
catur will be represented in the Tri-
Optic next summer. In fact 1t is

Tuesday, Ciayton's temperature was
up to 104.
Art Queisser, ex-Danville backstop,
entertained the bugs on the coaching
lines and afforded them their first
opportunity to inspect his new

Baird became real peevish in the
seventh inning when he failed to beat
out a grounder, and tried to knock
Holke of his pins. On his way back
to the water cooler he delivered an
impromptu Grafton upon the subject
of first sackers hogging the whole
base, but Holke refused to heed the
outburst.
In the third inning Carrigan turned
single into a two Dagger because
Donnelly was sleeping at the switch
Frank loafed on the job and Carrie
kept right on going, beating the throw
to second by a narrow margin. After
that the crowd hooted the Springfield

LAST YEARS RACE.

Last year, four and one-half weeks
before the end of the season, Spring
field, the championship team, had
lead OF five game over Davenport, but
Davenport was the only real contender
it had for the title as Quincy, in third
place, was Il games behind, Decatur
in fourth place was IS games to the
bad, Danville in fifth place, 10 games;
Dubuque in sixth place, % games;
Peoria in seventh place, 271a games,
and Bloomington in last place also
21Iz games in the rear This shows
how much Springfield outclassed the
rest of the league with its bunch Of
ex-big leaguers. This year Quincy
leads Peoria in last place by Is games,
just one more game than Springfield
led Quincy in third place last year.
These figures show why a s.x-game
lead this year is not worth anything
compared to a five-game lead last year.
Springfield finished the season with
80 games won and Al lost. The pen
nant winner this year will do well TO
finish with an s0-57 count, In fact.
it would rot be surprising if the pen
nant we're annexed with a 1850 notch.
All of which goes 10 show that the
