CLINTON, Ia, July 16.-One Bert
Ellison, late of the University of Ar
kansas, gave Clinton the last and de-
Gliding game of the seres with Keokuk
yesterday when he laid the ball over
the fence with his boss, Manush, on
the paths ahead Of him. 1t was the
only thing this same southerner did
during the afternoons pastime. He
made several sensational stops and
two errors, one of which threatened
to prove costly. But it was done from
over anxiety to win and his other
work was Of such high class nature
that nobody held it against him.
1t was an afternoon filed with
thrills It was It'll be there" day and
some five or six hundred were there.
They got their moneys worth and
then some. 1t was as interesting and
as exciting a game as has been played
here this year probably, or at any
events it seemed so. In addition to the
work Of Ellison. the crowd was thrill
ed by a pitchers battle between Pen
ner and Nelson, the latter new man
for the Pilots, by sensational fielding
by members OF both teams and the
good all around work of RED" Low
Their OF the opposition.

Two Hts Off Penner.

Penner allowed but two hits in the
entire game, but those two came in
the same inning and one was a home
run, which followed single Nelson
allowed five, but he scattered them
sufficiently to prevent them from
counting materially. Both felders
were backed by excellent fielding, ex-
cept for the four boobies Of the locals,
only one Of which threatened to prove
costly. The two sensational catches
of the day were those of Baum and
ELLISON Baum went back to the fence
in the third inning and let the ball
slide into his approaching gloved hand
q few inches in front OF the fence. It
was a fly from Nelson's bat and look
ed good to go over the fence Ellison
ran back and made a leaping stab of
Penner's fly in the seventh in a man
ner that was entirely pleasing to all
spectators. Lowther made a number
Of good catches. but none that border
ed on the sensational.

Committee Ready to Act.

Personally l feel that have al
ready done more than my share. |
would be willing to do more If l had
the time to do it. But cannot neglect
my business altogether in order to
save the franchise, no matter how
anxious I am to see 1t retained. We
are ready to meet our part OF the
proposition we put up to the fans aud
if they raise this $500 we will guar
antee that no more cries for money
be made this year and that the cl''5
finishes the schedule. This certainly
is as much as could be asked of US.
II the fans do not care enough to get
out and raise the rest of the money
needed, then we will have to quit
baseball
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1915-07-16
Money Could be Raised.

One Of the twenty-four men who is
standing ready to keep the club going
until the close of the season, pro-
vided the $500 can be raised said
this morning that this $500 could be
secured easily if there were anyone to
go out after it,
/ IF half dozen good men were out
this morning that should be able 70
raise this $500 in two hours time. The
! trouble is that no one will go out.
Everyone seems to think that the few
men who have been the strongest
supporters Of the club and who haze
given so much of both their time AMI
money will see to it that the money is
secured in some manner and will not
let the franchise go.

Penner Has Hard Luck.

It was hard luck game for Pen
ner to lose He never was in danger
even except for the one inning the
Pilots retiring in one-two-three order.
Nelson on the other hand, got himself
into and out of several bad holes. He
walked six men during the melee
which combined with the hits made
his position look precarious at times.
Then in the last inning. just as every
one was rising to leave, the game sud
denly became dangerous. Two were
down and two men were ON bases as
the result Of a bobble and single by
the ever ready Hollocher when Red
11owther came up. This disturber had
been creating a fuss all afternoon, he
being the one that scored the only
run. SO Manush took no chances, but
rushed Drohan to the firing line. He
pitched one ball and Red" cracked it.
THE game looked lost, but almost as
Iquick as the sound Of the ball and
bat meeting reached the ears Of the
fans, came the sound of the ball thud-
ding into Harry Simmons glove and
the game was over.

However, these three games may be

whether or not the $500 can be raised.
The situation here seemed to appear
less favorable this morning than it
did yesterday. Two fans who were
out yesterday soliciting subscriptions
in small amounts, obtained nearly
5000. However, these two were un

CHARGES UTTER
NEGLECT OF Law
ON dim lights

Charges that traffic and police Off
Gers show an utter disregard for the
city law against having binding lights
on automobiles. Raymond c. Brown,
secretary OF the Chamber Of Com
merce. this afternoon mailed sting,
ing letter to Sheriff Rose.
With regard 10 the light-dimming
provision Of the present traffic ordi-
nance" Supervisor Logan explained
this afternoon, 1T Is too vague to Sc
cure convictions under. The trial mag
istrate has nothing better to act upon
than the opinions OF witnesses on
either side as 10 whether the light is
really binding to a driver or a pc
destrian
AT least this was the discovery
made by Supervisor Larsen when he
set out TO ascertain why the clause
was not being enforced. To make the
ordinance specific, by defining Just
how the lights should be dimmed, also
to declare what kinds or lights re-
quired dimming. he prepared the
amendment now pending. II allows
SO days for owners of autos to comply
with the provision.
