TIE CHAMPIONSHIP
To Play New Madrid Rubber
Albert Huters Wins Motor
cycle Race.

two-day series to Cairo, the Capahas
yesterday tied with the New Madrid
nine for the championship of the
Southeast Missouri League Cairo de-
feated the Caps 8 to 8 day after the
Capahas took the first game from the
visitors by score of to 4.
Arrangements now are under way
to play off the championship game be-
tween the Capahas and New Madrid
next Sunday in Cairo, where the teams
would be on neutral" field and a
record breaking crowd may be gath
cred.
As curtain raiser to the baseball
game yesterday afternoon, a motor
cycle race was staged that drew much
interest. Albert Huters won first
place, DR.. B. w. Willis took second
money and Albert Mogler third.
Only three entries were made. DIR.
Willis conceded that the race for first
money lay between Mogler and HUI
tiers. Mogler and Huters rode ma
chimes built for racing. Mogler, on the
start, jumped into a lead, and as the
race progressed, he stretched his lead
into almost half lap.
The race was ten laps long or five
miles. Huters trailed Mogler around
the track and Willis came last. As
MOgler was making a turn on the
ninth lap, he blew out a tire when he
picked up a nail He had a long lead
and attempted to hold it into the fin
ish of the ninth lap, although he had
flat tire.
Huters rapidly overlook him, and as
they crossed the mark on the ninth
lap, he went a wheels height ahead of
Mogler. MOgler dropped out of the
race and Huters trailed by DR.. Willis
completed the circuit.
The arrangement with the motor
cycle racers was that 10 cents from
each paid admission of 50 cents was to
be used as prize money for the motor
lists. The first man was to receive 60
per cent; second, 80 and last or third
man, 10 per cent.
The total gate receipts for the mo-
florists was $3S. This they divided.
When MOgler raised an objection be-
cause he was not given second money,
Manager Joe Barenkamp announced
that the cyclists will have chance
probably in another week or two to
try their race again. Huters defeated
Mogler July 3 in a similar" race. The
time was 5 minutes and az seconds, as
recorded by Deputy Sheriff Seagraves'
stop watch.
The baseball game from start to
finish was rather slow proposition,
and only in a few sports did any of
the players display usual merit.
After the game Manager Barren
kamp declared he was perfectly well
satisfied with the outcome and he ex-
pressed his confidence in the Capahas
to win the championship from New
Madrid.
Definite arrangements to play the
championship game in Cairo next Sun
day will be made after Barenkamp re-
ceives word from Capt. Buck Leyhe of
the Cape Girardeau, as to whether or
not the steamer Spread Eagle will
come down to the Cape next week to
take an excursion of Cape fans over
to Cairo for the game.
The New Madrid management plans
to take a boat load of fans over to
Cairo should the game be played there,
the Cape fans would be on hand and it
is expected that large crowd of Cairo
people would witness the game, so
that a large gate is expected there.
Should the deal to take the game to
Cairo fall through, Barenkamp last
night announced that undoubtedly the
game will be played in the Cape and
the New Madrid management will
bring large group of rooters along
with the team.
