'hite House Officials in Doubt
Vessel Probably Struck a Mine

Il. II. Duff, counsel for the company
owning the Nebraskan, communicated
with the New York offices to-day and
later at the State Department, said the
circumstances of the affair, particularly
the damage to the bow of the Nebras-
kan, indicated to him that the vessel
struck a mine. The steamship officials
with whom he talked in New York,
had the same view although they had
very little information. He said that
no steps so far had been taken with a
view to protest or representations.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The Red Sox
and Phillies will go into the worlds
clash the last Of this week practically
on even terms so far as the betting
is concerned. From odds OF 10 to 6
and 10 to 8, which were first offered
on Ban Johnson's champions week
or so ago, the betting has levelled to
an even money proposition, and not
much of that to be had.
The betting fraternity has grown
more cautious since the solar plexus
wallop handed it by the Braves last
season and doesn't relish placing its
money on one man. Alexander gener-
ally Is considered the whole Philadel.
phia team and any number Of things
can happen to one man.
The decline of Boston's stock be-
came more apparent today. following
the double defeat administered to the
Sox by the Yanks yesterday. CARR.

ers, Dutch" Leonard, his left handed
hope, and George Foster, considered
about the classiest right handler in the

especially Leonard, who retired in the

.Keokuk May be in on State
Football Honors This Year

for Burlington. Both men gained CON
sistently and were stopped only when
half of the Fort Madison team mao
tackled them.
With a line of any stability. there
is no question but that keokuk. with
Hancock and Captain Rowe for the
dashes. and Willard Roberts In line
plunging, could at least equal II not
surpass anything Burlington could
offer in the way of Mcfarland and
wolfmeier. Wygle Is punting accur-
ately, and could be depended on TO
get the ball out OF danger II the line
could hold for downs. The whole
question seems to revert back to the
line. Keokuk rooters feel confident
that their backfeld is the best IN
years.
Line Developing.
Huiskamp and Evans are proving
towers OF strength in the line, out
that still leaves a light line for the
balance of the positions. LeFaiyre al
center is sure to prove good match
for the much touted Newton OF Bur
lington. Newton plays back few
steps on defense and comes through
fast, LeFaivre is sure passer, ana
this is a wonderful asset for any team,
and gives Hancock plenty OF co-opera-
ton In handling the ball and the team.
The Keokuk squad will be put
through some hard work this week In

IF K. II. S. Car, Defeat
Burlington, Chance
is Bright

The Keokuk high.Burlington high
football game this coming Saturday
at Burlington is featured as one OF
the important sectional clashes in
Iowa high school football by several
OF the state papers. Keokuks defeat
of Mt. Pleasant last Saturday makes
the local team a contender with the
Orchard City bunch for the southeast
ern Iowa honors. For that reason the
game is important in this section.
Burlington, on the showing made last
year when the Cowles- Mcfarland ma
chine swept this section, has been
figured in the state dope. II Keokuk
could stop Burlington next Saturday. 1t
would have the effect of upsetting
the general dope on the teams.
Locals Have Chance.
If Keokuk's line can improve this
week as it improved in the i've days
between the Hamilton fiasco and the
Mt. Pleasant scrap, there may be a
chance of the locals stopping Wolf
meters line plunges. Otherwise things
look gloomy for the locals. Captain

1t was truly Well Sat1SneQ audience
that witnessed the star production OF
.'The Marriage OF Kitty" at the Grand
last night and which picture Is to be
the attraction this evening Besides
being a delightful comedy, the stag
ing and cast of characters was about
the best balanced and smoothest rum
ming that Keokuk picture patrons have
seen in many a day. Fannie Ward, q
charming fun maker OF international
stage fame, makes her first appear
ance before the camera, but one would
have thought that she had been in the
business for years. so well did she
adapt herself to the different condi-
lions of the silent drama" It was
really an all-star organization. though,
equally brilliant appeared the work
OF Cleo Ridgeley. Theodore Roberts.
Tom Forman and Jack Dean. And
then there were the vivacious Camille
Astor and Mrs. Lewis McEord, both
OF whom gained fame as the saucy
maid and the dear old Irish mother
in "Crimmie Faddin."
