In the years before the wars de-

annual fund for the stock exchange
employees amounted to from $4,000 to

out Of the millions that have poured

Desperate Attempt Being Made To-
day by keokuk Followers Of the
Game to Trim Hamil-
ton Rivals.
PLAYING FOR A PRIZE
Fine Checker Board Made by Ham,
llton Man Is up-Roy Sherwood
and Victor Storey Represent
Ing keokuk.

Some people believe that the game
Of checkers is thing Of the past and
Is only being played today in the back
room OF some country store by long
whiskered, tobacco splitting loungers
who while away tho long hours year
In and year out in pushing the disks
around, with an interval OF fifteen
minutes between each move.
But this is a mistaken idea. There
are probably just as many checker
flends today as sportsmen in other
fields, and they do not play like their
country prototypes, but according to
science. For every move that Is made
there IS counter move and the play
er who can learn all Of these first can
begin to look for other fields to con-
Quer, for 1t Is difficult task
Now checkers in Keokuk has many
followers and it is limited that some
Of the bigger lights Of the game are
going to form checker society.
Anyway they are now banding togeth-
er to defend their titles against the
Hamilton followers Of the game who
are putting forth big claims. The
first intersectional contest was play
ed today in Hamilton and the follow
ing tells the reason why.
A certain G. Stanton of Hamilton, Of
renowned checker fame in his own
parts, has put together a miraculous
checker board which he values a.
many big iron men. On certain da ties
,keokuk players are to invade Hamil-
ton and the winner Of the match
takes the board home. Should it come
to Keokuk, the Hamilton players come
lover here to try and get It back. At
the end Of certain time the town that
has had the board In 80 possession
the greatest number OF times Is to
keep It, All the games are to be
played on the board. ..
Keokuk possesses six checker play
ers who belong in the scientific class.
They are Hiram Stebbins, Joseph
Hanson, Roy Sherwood, Victor
Storey, J. M. Wright and Charles
ONeill OF this squad, Sherwood
and Storey were selected to 60
to Hamilton today to make the
first attempt at winning the
board for heokuk. And the next
time two others will play, either here,
If the Keokuk players win today, or
| in Hamilton, If they lose.
Almost every other sport in the
world gets in the newspaper columns
except checkers and that Is the reas-
on this was written, to show that
there are other things Of interest here
besides baseball and football and the
more strenuous sports.
