Will Fight Hard.

The Keokuk Electric baseball club
win journey to Hamilton tom orrow
afternoon. there to meet the Hamil-
ton club in what promises to be one
az the hottest independent baseball
games of the present season. A large
crowd from Hamilton and Keokuk is
expected to be on hand to watch the
contest.
The game is expected 10 be hot
one. The Electrics who have been
going badly this summer have been
bolstered up, and will present their
strongest lineup of the year. The
local men are confident and expect
to defeat the Illinoisans, though not
easily, by any means.
The Hamilton club will rot be easy
picking for the locals. The team has
won three-fourths of its games thus
far this year, having defeated War
saw and most of the other teams in
this part Of the country. Last year,
the club won thirteen straight games.
The Hlinoisans are confident of vic
tory and will put up a hard battle to
the last ditch against the electricians.
The park at Hamilton Is expected
TO favor the home team. One field ends
In bluff overlooking the road, and
the other is cut short by fence
The outfield is rough, and unless one
knows it instinctively it is almost i'm
possible to field clearly. The infield
1s much better than the cuthe1d.

NEW YORK. Aug. Borrower
Cleveland Alexander holds a new
National league record today. By
shutting out the Reds yesterday the
premier hurler for the Phillies hung
UP his thirteenth shut out victory for
this season and established a new
record for the league in shut out
games for single season. Alexander
allowed seven hits but his control
was almost perfect. He did not give
base on balls nor did he hit man.
The previous best record for shut
out games in the National, according
to all available records at the league
headquarters was twelve held joint
" by Alexander and Christy Math-
sewson. Alexander equalled Mathew
IONS stunt last season when he
pitched his team to victory twelve
times without allowing a run. Math-
:ewson pitched his way to twelve
white washes in 1908. Records show
ing shut out games for seasons do not
go back farther than 1901 but it is
probable Alexander and Mathewson
held the record until yesterday for
prior to the birth of the American
league shut out games were rare.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-'Ffghting
Jim" Gilmore, once the peppery pres
ident of the now extinct Federal
league, believes the majority of form
er outlaw ball players who are now
in American and National leagues.
are making good. Gilmore is now
selling paper, being member Of
New York stationery firm. When
seen today by representative of the
United Press, Gilmore was willing
enough to talk about the defunct
organization and Its demise. Gil.
more is happy over the fact that he
is no longer president OF q baseball
league.
What do you think OF some of
your former ball players now they
have stepped into the major leagues
Gilmore was asked.
There are several of them who
are giving a good account of them
selves and proving they were ball
players even when they we're in the
Federal league" he replied. He
mentioned Nick Cullop. and Lee Ma
gee. now with the Yankees. and he
enumerated several others, notably

Hendrix and Packard. pitchers, VIII.
son. Fischer and Rariden, catchers;
Benny Kauff, Rousche, Mann, Flack
and others. These he declared look
like they are going to hold their
berths in the majors Asked par.
ticularly regarding Benny Kauff, the
former Federal league head staunchly
stood by his fallen swat king.
Il believe Kauff is q great bali
player" he said, land l believe his
trouble this year is that he is swing
ing at bad ones and is refusing to
follow the advice of McGraw. He
always was too eager to swing at
the bad ones"
Asked regarding the financial loss
the Federal league sustained during
Its tormented existence, Gilmore
smiled and said: That's secret
I'm going to keep. We lost money,
but we're not kicking and we are
going to let the public have good
long guess at the amount. / haven't
told any one and don't intend TO-.
Gilmore said he was glad to be out
of the game. They kept me hop
ping like a grasshopper for two
years." he said She's great old
game, but I'm through. There'll
never be a third league il they wait
for me to be president. I'm content
to sit in box or bleacher seat and
be a fan the rest of my life"
