FOOTBALL At
kE0kUK HIGH
Already, Discussion is Turning to the
Chief Fall Sport for Which
Practice VIII Start
Soon.
ROWE CAPTAIN
Has Good Material From Which to
Pick Strong squad-Pros-
poets Are Unusually
Bright.

The Keokuk high school opened but
yesterday and already the discussion
lis turning to the football prospects of
the school this year. Although actual
practice will not start for week or so
yet, football will be one of the prin-
cipal topics of discussion from now on.
Indeed football was discussed even
before school opened.
The athletic leaders Of the school
are planning on supreme effort TO
put winning team on the field this
fall, not only to win honors for the
purple and white but to make up for
the disastrous record of 1914 which
has been keenly felt. This has not
served to PIT damper upon the in
terest already shown this season.
rather it will be an incentive towards
greater efforts.
Stanley. Rowe Is captain of this
squad, which is still to be formed from
a field of exceptionally fine material.
Rowe was one of the backfield finds :
of last year and played consistent
game throughout the season, and with
such players as Davidson, LeFaivrc,
Roberts, Wells, Hancock, Weess and
Garrison, ready to don football tog3
when the call is sent out, under COM
petent coaches, Keokuk high should
be able to put team in the field that
will make great record this fail.
Keokuk had the misfortune last
year to play practically new team
against teams that had not lost men
by graduation for two years or more.
The local team will now be composed
of players with great deal of expers
fence and it is believed that the teams
with which schedules will be arranged
will be the ones to have to fight with
a squad weakened by graduation.

WILL KEOKUK HAVE
BASEBALL IN 1916?
This is Principle Topic Of Discussion
at the Present Time, Among
the Fans Of the
City.
NO REASON TO DROP OUT
Has Been no Talk Of Dropping Out OF
the league-Directors to
Hold Meeting
Soon.

It is usual that one baseball season
is barely out of the way until the
thoughts of the fans turn to the next.
So it is this year. Are we going 10
have baseball in 1916?
That is the question that is being
asked from one end Of the town to
the other. The answer cannot be
stated definitely. but the feeling
seems to prevail that Keokuk will be
in the Central association race next
year the same as in the past ten
years, and stronger than ever, for the
city now has team that may prove
the nucleus of a pennant winning
squad next year.
Why shouldn't Keokuk have a base
ball team next year?
OF course there was the financial
difficulty this year that would tend to
put a damper on the prospects, but
1t really should not. Keokuk had a
bad run of luck this year because Of
bad weather that made it necessary
to postpone games by the wholesale.
This kept the crowds away and also
the money.
IF the games had drawn as well this
year as last, the Keokuk Baseball as
ISOLATION would be sailing on easy
street now, and If the same hearty
money response can be secured next
year along with a normal attendance.
there seems to be no real reason why
Keokuk shouldn't have baseball

! dent Justice this morning. land be-

! A meeting OF the Keokuk Baseball
directors and officers will be held in

| fairs of the club will be wound up
and probably some expression of the
baseball matter made. And it is con-
! fidently believed that when the mid
winter meeting of the league is held
in Burlington next January that Keo-
kuk will retain her berth.

KEoKUK DREW WELL

President Justice has received
checks for the Labor day baseball re-
ceipts from the four Central associa-
ton cities where the final games OF
the year were played. Muscatine turn
ed in the smallest amount Of money.
while Keokuk, Burlington and Clinton
were practically tied, each turning IN
practically the same amount.
Following are the receipts in the
four cities:
burlington 20 w
Clinton ...-.-....... Aoo.oo
Muscatine llz.oV
Total ..$s14.i0
This amount Is to be evenly divided
among the eight members of the
league. Each club will receive $101.SO.
Last year the share was only $53.13.
Rain and cold weather caused this.
Checks were mailed out today to the
various clubs The 5000 guarantee
posted with the league at the begin
ming of the season by the eight clu9s
will be sent out in the course of the
next few days by President Justice.
Although this league had one OF
the worst years of its existence so Tar
as the attendance and financial side
was concerned, President Justice is
very well pleased with the outcome
and he feels that the Central associa-
ton has made record where other
class D leagues and many higher ones
have broken up during the most siren
uous baseball season ever experienced
all over the country.
The final affairs Of the league viii
be settled at the directors meeting
