"Triple Decked" Service.

In what he termed triple deck
ed'' service, Evangelist Charles Reign
Scoville last night fired the first guns
Of his heokuk campaign. Three
crowds, totalling somewhere near
5000 persons, heard Scovlue. The
first tall1-of about twenty minutes
duration--was delivered at the First
congregational church, the second at
the Methodist Protestant church and
the third at the First Baptist church.
The crowds at the Methodist Pro-
testant and Baptist churches filled
the respective editices to overlooking
and about fifty persons heard the talk
at the Methodist Protestant through
open windows.
Scoville made very little effort to
preach regular" sermon. His three
talks were short, to the point and
sparkling with fiery epigrams apropos
of the "soul saving business" He de-
Tended revivals, denounced christians
who oppose them and declared that
they are just like their daddy-the

shots at Goddess gangs" and Christ

After keokukites.

Some people ask me if l I'm after
the Hittites or the Amalekltes. Not
on your life, I'm after the keokuk-
ties. That's the bunch I'm after.
How many of you think were
going to have a great revival" the
revivalist asked at the Methodist Pro
testant church. The response was
practically unanimous. Now all of
YOU who don't, get up and go home
and stay there till we get going and

ScoyiIle evoked much laughter and
applause at all three services when

Evangelist Cheered.

The crowds cheered the revivalist
many times in the course of his talks
and when he asked the congregation
at the Methodist Protestant church
if he was right when he favored re-
vivals, several shouted Sure you're
right"
Scoville was introduced at all three
meetings by c. F. Mcfarland. Mr..
Mcfarland declared frankly that
"Keokuk has been rather Indifferent
about things religious during the past
few years and needs a revival"
81 thought a few weeks ago that
possibly we were building the taber-
nacle too large" said Mr.. Mcfarland.
But now l am sure we have builded
it too small. l think / shall suggest
to the executive committee tomorrow
that it tear the back end out and
build over another half block.
Scoville Launched into his talks at
ali three churches with little cere-
mony. when Mr.. Williams, our pub
licity man, came back from Keokuk
five or six weeks ago." he said, his
eyes were as wide as fried goose eggs
and he said, were going to have a
fine campaign over there He was
right l am mighty grateful for this
reception.
"a lot of people tell u.s." he con-
tinued, that when we reach their
town we will find the people together.
We do, but about half the time they're
frozen together"
you know the mill won't grind
with water that is past" he said, smil-
ing, "but neither will it grind with
water that is frozen. You might as

then spank it because it won't sweat

sweet and warm in some Of our cold

CHASE FOR MERkLE
 TRADE IN WORKS
White Sox Management Endeavoring to Engineer Deal Through
 Pirates Also After Hal.

New York, March 13.-A deal whereby Hal Chase may play first base for the Giants is brewing. It's only in it's primary stage, and it may he throttled before it has a chance to grow very robust, but the fact is that a proposition for Chase to join the Giants and for Fred Merkle to guard the initial sack for the Chicago White Sox has been broached to the New York club. With John McGraw rests the decision.
 - If the giants decline to entertain any proposition for Merkle to go to Chicago, it's very likely that Chase will be acquired by the Pittsburgh club Jimmy Callahan has put in a bid for the time Yankee and is very anxious to take a chance with the alleged disorganizer of ball clubs. Jimmy believes he can handle all sorts of men and that Chase is not as bad as he is painted.
 While New Workers would hate to see Merkle leave the Giants. they would hail Chase's coming to the team despite the grudge some fans still bear Hal for his thoughtless Urea tnent of the Yankees. Chase according to as we'll qualified an au- thority as Hughey Jennings, is still the great Hal of old
 Chase had a hard time getting started with the Buffalo Feds last season. but with the coming of Harry Lord as manager in Larry Sch1afy's place Chase went to the fore by leaps and bounds. He wound Up with a batting average of .2S4 despite the fact that late in July he had been hit ting for only .250.

HERE'S THE DOPE.
Tommy Burns Gives His Views on
 Willard Moran Bout.

New Orleans, March 13.-Tomn.y Burns, ex-heavyweight champion, does not believe that Jess Willard is to have an easy time with Frank Moran.
 In the contrary, Burns declared yesterday that he believes Moran will gain the newspaper decision over the title-holder.
 "I looked Willard over carefully while he was here,'' said Burns, and I am convinced that he will not be any too fit when he steps into the ring with Moran. l piked Jess to beat Johnson, and called the turn on the fight, saying the negro would win the first twenty rounds, but l didn't se- lect the white man because I thought he was a great fighter, I picked him because I knew that Johnson could not be in good condition, and my ex- perience has taught me that condition is the big thing in the boxing game.
 ''Willard's biggest assets are his size and endurance. These will not avail him in a short bout. Moran, I do not believe, is a great fighter, but I believe he will win for the reason that it will not take a great fighter to outpoint Willard.
 ''The present title holder is far from being great fighter. He is tough and can wear out an opponent by taking punishment, but in my opinion he is not to be compared with men like Jim Jeffries when that fighter was in his prime.
 If everything is on the level, l look to see Moran score"

LEO LEARY NAMED
 FOR CRIMSON COACH
Harvard Athletic Association Holds Important Meeting to Choose
 Football Coaching Staff.

Boston, Mass, March 13.-An- nouncement was made last night that the Harvard athletic association would meet at Cambridge this evening to ratify a committees selection of a coaching staff to direct football af- fairs for the fall. In athletic circles at the college the belief was e1- pressed that Leo Leary, for many years assistant coach, would be in charge of the active field work and that Percy D. Haughton, the head coach, whose contract expired last year, would head an advisory commit tee giving him much the same in fluence that Walter Camp exerted for a long time at Yale.
 It was also reported that overtures were being made with Johns Hopkins university to secure the release of Charles F. Brickley, who has agreed to coach there for another season so that he could return to Cambridge to develop drop kickers and coach the backfield men.
 l It was generally agreed that the coaching staff this year would have a hard task to fill the vacancies caused by the graduation of Capt. Mahan and other stars in June and the disquali- f1cation of Capt.-elect Gilman and i Boles and Enright, leading backfeld ] candidates, because of scholarship diff : ficulties.
 Leary, who is named as possible selection for head coach, played with the Harvard varsity eleven in the seasons of 1904 and 1905, putting up 8 great game in both years. His
 work was so conspicuous that he was
 considered by some as an "all-Amer- ican" end. Leary has been the as- sistant coach at Harvard for many
 seasons past, paying special attention
 to the work of the ends. He has also
 been Haughton's right-hand man on
 the board of strategy. Leary is well
 versed in Harvard football method

6kETBALL WORLD ! GIVEN SURPRISE
lSy and Tigers Were Not Re. lled as Championship Timber

a nceton and Pennsylvania, by 8 ing up the regular season tied N he championship of the Inter
 iate Basketball league, brought x fitting end one of the most ex-
 series that has ever been @ since basketball became a big 8ge sport some fifteen years ago. Mough it so happened that the

 HD matter what the outcome of the #-off series between the Tigers and Quakers. it can hardly be more srising than the result of the que race.

 results of the race was the sorry wing of the Columbia team which, the first time in the history of xetball, wound up the season in cellar with only one victory to it's

Joe Jackson.

From up around .350 on to 400, Joe Jackson dropped to .30S last season. Jackson will never be up among the leaders again. a promi- nent American league pitcher re- marked recently.
 We doubt this. Jackson is, a great natural hitter-one of the greatest. He was a bit off last season, but there will be found the same slumps in the careers of all great batsmen, barring Cobb Wagner one season dropped from 1880 to .305 the next and Lajoie dropped as low as .2S0, only to come back with a rush.
 Jackson can hit, and, while he fell away in 1915, the change that carried him to Chicago from losing club should help carry him back to within

The race isn't always to the swift, but it is generally to the scared.
 Even a dub may fall heir to a, streak of form. It is only the habit that counts.
 Only that portion of a mans game which is under control is worth send ing into battle. The rest of it is a liability, rather than an asset.
