The story of how Marshalltown
broke into organized baseball Is one
which will pass into baseball history.
The effort to secure the kewanee
franchise, starting from joke, pre-
cipitated one of the most spirited
fights ever waged in organized base
ball in this state, and terminated IN
Mar shalltown securing berth In the
Central Association by hairs

shalltown is shown by the press dis
patches which announce that Mar

place by the narrow margin OF sixty
minutes.
To G. F. Kerscy and A. P. Strub be-
long the honor OF putting Marshall
town back on the baseball map. Ker-
sey has been fan from the time he
was able to walk and is still as wildly
enthusiastic as he was when he was
actively identified with the game. Ker-
sey devised a plan to organize a cen
trail Iowa league to be composed OF
such towns as Boone. Fort Dodge. Ma
son City, Oskaloosa and Marshalltown.
and to this end made a journey to
Boone. While there a friend suggested
that Marshalltown go after the or.n

for the first time. was the beginning

Message From "HiII."
AS socn as kersey returned home
he started operations. He got on the
phone and called AL Strub, telling him
Of the vacancy and suggested that
Marshalltown go after the franchise.
Strub was busy. and desired to cut
the conversation short, not knowing
who was talking. Strub asked whom
he was talking with. hoping to get
back to his work and call his fan
friend at a more opportune time.
Kersey. not caring to appear in the
matter himself, turned to by stand

and replied:

that he hung up the receiver.

Your Oad-Your Grand. dad-Your
Great Grand dad-Aii Used
May-Appie Root.

Our hardy ancestors didn't know or
want mollycoddle remedies for bilious
conditions. They didn't want to be al
ways taking something. They took
this vegetable calomel as soon as they
noticed the coated tongue-the dizzi-
ness-the achy feeling-the blood
waves-the full feeling-and released
the bile from the liver. They said
ito make the liver act" but we have
learned that the liver is but a strainer
and that bile clogs in the liver leaving
the body a prey to the putrid matter
that should be disinfected by the bile
PODOLAX RELEASES THE BILE
Your anchesters knew that it was me-
cessary to start this bile. and didn't
temporize. They took May Apple
Root in some form. and while it grip
ed and sickened. they took it because
1t Did Deliver the Bile.
In PoDoLax you have the same
thing. but without the grippe and
nausea It acts 80 quietly that you
are never disturbed in your daily vo.
cations.
You or your children should take a
spoonful at bedtime as soon as you
notice the bad taste, the bad breath, the
coated tongue. Do so and you are free
Of it the next day. To have it in the
house means to take it early and be re-
lieved quickly-so by all means get a
bottle at the first drug store and take
stitch in time.

but would provide family bottle for
Irregular use. A trial II the only proof.

Rock islands Close Battle.
What followed is already history.
Marshalltown went after the franchise
and landed it after a fight which sur
passed any similar battle in the his
tory Of the association. Just how close
Marshalltown came to losing to Rock
Island, however, was not disclosed un-
til after the meeting. One hour after
the franchise ownership had been de-
cided a message came to Davenport
newspaper correspondent, at Burling-
ton, from Secretary Farrell, OF the ma
tional association, saying that Rock
Island was free territory and could be
admitted to the league. Had this mes
sage been received an hour earlier and
been presented to the Burlington
meeting, Marshalltown would prob
ably have been obliged to wait few
more years before breaking into pro-
fessional baseball again.
Decision Was Final.
Altho Farrell had made several con-
flicting decisions with regard to Rock
Island, it is now declared that his
message to the Burlington meeting
was final Just what sort Of fight it
would have precipitated, however, As

President AL Tierney, Of the Three-1
