For Busy Bugs

The Indians returned homo last
night from Burlington and we're slated
to meet the Ansons here this after.
noon It was doubtful this morning
II the grounds would be in condition
for the game. The Ansops play here
tomorrow and Wednesday and will be
followed by Mason CITY Thursday.
Friday and Saturday. We play at
Mason City July 4.
Watkins is twenty Years old and
has all the size any big league scout
could hope for His record in this
league even before yesterdays game
was enough to attract the attention
Of the sleuths from the majors. After
yesterdays game he probably will be
watched closely by the scouts.
In the six games Just finished be-
tween Keokuk and Burlington the
Indians won three, lost two, and
tied one.
One run In thirty-one Innings was
made by Burlington off Keokuuk
pitchers.
double header was scheduled to
be played at Burlington yesterday ana
a number of people from here went
up to see the games. They were quite
we'll satisfied, however, with the one
contest.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: keokuk,
from whence the announcement came
recently that 1t was in very precar
ious financial condition has, sent out
word that it viii stick out the season
and play first class baseball. Keokuk
is one of two cities in the Central as
ISOLATION which has been a permanent
fixture since the organization of the
league twelve years ago. II has had
several narrow escapes, but has al
ways come up smiling and the fans
in this part of the league tender it
their congratulations and hope 1t may
continue in basketball Indefinitely.

WARSAW, ILL.,, June 27.-The much
toutad Hamilton baseball team came
to Warsaw Sunday with string OF
nine victories to their credit, and no
defeats. They went home bowed In
defeat for the first time this season.
Before the mastery pitching Of Pied
rit. they went down in order, getting
one score and that not being earned.
The Warsaw team was out to win
and played great bali behind their
newly acquired slab artist.
Hamilton made their lone score In
the first inning and Warsaw came
back with one in the fourth and
again in the sixth, coming through
with three more, enough to sew up the
game as the score shows.
John Dickey carried of the batting
honors with three hits out of four
times at bat.
A large crowd was out. many admir-
ers Of the Hamilton team coming down
to see their pets perform.
Th.s score:

Using chance for score. There was
a man on third again in the fifteenth,
but he was allowed to die there.
keokuk had men as far as third
once in the fifteenth. once in the eigh-
teenth and again in the twentieth.
Tho only time they came close to
score was in the twentieth and then
Harmon put crimp in their hopes.
The Eagles booster was great
success. The park was packed and
the strains Of the Orchard City band
helped the locals to hold their oppo-
nents as did the shouting OF the hun
dreds OF rabid fans. The game should
attract people to other contests here
during the series with Mason City
that starts today.

The second game started out with
the Button Cutters hitting Kirchner
pretty heavily for the first three In
nings. In the third they put Ave runs
over, mainly due to errors on the
Electric's inf1eld.
Semones again came to the rescue
and with the bases full, brought all
three men home. Semonsss stole third
on Ricketts, single. Kirchner came to

Watkins started out by pitching
eight innings without allowing hit
or a run and it looked as if he would
have a no-hit no-run game 20 mis-

Good Day for Regatta.
United Press Leased Wire Service
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 2S.-
Der Tag" in collegiate rowing circles
dawned fair and cool. Early indica-
lions pointed to an excellent day for
the historic, regatta. There was, how.
ever, prospect Of freshening breeze.
which was not greeted effusively by
coaches and men. ~.
Columbia and Cornell, it appeared,
would go to the starting line the fav-
orites. Syracuse stock took a slight
drop over Sunday, owing to the loss
Of Minard, the regular number two
man, and the illness Of Osman, the
husky stroke, who may be out of the
race. Pennsylvania, with her English
stroke, has found many supporters
since Yale's victory over Harvard last
week with the same stroke. Eastern
water men and experts" generally
regarded Ieland-Stanford as q dark
horse" with a possibility Of springine
a surprise.
The vanguard OF visitors began to
arrive last night. All during the night
and this morning. incoming trains and
boats poured their thousands along
the banks. Betting was comparative
ly light.

Precinct Detective Joseph Delminco. for
the prosecution, testified yesterday that
Lieut.. Bremerman acted in a quarrelSome
manner on the night mentioned. He
said. however. that the lieutenants con-
duct was MOI such as would lead him to
believe he was intoxicated. and that
he did not smell liquor on him.
