tumwa, Boone, Fort Dodge, Marshall
town and Waterloo. OF these eight
teams Keokuk and Burlington have
been the only two that have played
continuously in the league, which
later evolved into the Central associa-
ton. Both Marshalltown and Water
loo dropped out for several years and
were admitted again. Fort Dodge is
again seeking admission, but baseball

MANY HAVE CONTRACTS
Keokuk Has Team Already
Signed up, Showing That
Dealings Were ALI in
Good Faith.

4 the uFSt time To-Day maze the Of1cldl
announcement that the Keokuk fran
chise would be transferred, bartered
sold, or given to Rock Island as soon
as the Central association club had
been organized in that city.
Although local fans have felt for
some time that Keokuk's days were
numbered, In the lack of official in
formation, there were some who still
hoped that the city would stick as it
had always done before.
There is some criticism on the cir
cult that Keokuk has made no prepa-
ration for the season and that the
local club was playing game of bluff
all the way through. There is moth
ing to this. AS long as there was a
chance for Keokuk to stick, every
but it has come to a point now where
it is necessary to come out with a
statement of policy.
Players Under Contract.
Keokuk at the present time has
about a dozen players under good,
authentic contracts, all as binding as
those of any other city in the league.
The contracts have all come back
signed and if Rock Island is to get
Keokuk's franchise, some good play
Ing talent will go with it.
The following from the 1915 team
have signed contracts and returned
them to Keokuk: Catcher Larry
Brown. Pitcher Dean Bixby. First
Baseman Tommy Liffin, Pitcher Clyde
Semones and Outfielders Lowther and
Lamb. From the 1914 team Harry
Sweet. Ed Wahl and Al Dali, who
were suspended, have been sent Keo-
kuk contracts. This should supply
the new city with a beginning for
good team. The chances are SO good
that Rock Island will have a Central
association club that it is believed
that there will be no hitch in plans.
Much has been written about Keo-
kuk having posted its forfeit solely
for the purpose of electing Justice.
This has been much resented here by
Keokuk fans and business men Keo-
kuk, the weak sister of the league has
always had to make fight to stick
in the league and even when the
clouds were darkest, managed to pull
through and complete another season.
Was No Frame-up.
1t was believed here by fandom that
Keokuk would hem and haw around
around and stick again. The fact that
contracts were sent out and prepare
tons made for the season shows that
there was no frame-up. But affairs
have reached the point where 1t is no
longer possible to think of baseball
club here and the fans are being told
it now officially.
Keokuk fandom has shown that it
is tired of baseball. But who can say
what wonders future years will bring.
The picture of Waterloo, Cedar
Rapids and Marshalltown failing just
as Keokuk has done and later com
ing back to lead the league in attend
ance, is familiar and Keokuk may fol-
low in their footsteps. Not a year
goes by that some change Is not made
in the circuit and If in the future
Keokuk feels that it can support a
ball team again there will likely be
every chance to get back into the
league that Keokuk was one Of the
first members Of.

HARVARD GRIDIRON RECEIPTS IN PAST
 SEASON $28O,OOO


 Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 29-The Harvard varsity football team, play ing ten games and losing three of them, came out of the 1916 season with a record of having brought ap- proximately $280,OO0 to the box of flee. Harvard divides the net re- ceipts with the big opponents, Yale and Princeton, and gives guarantees to minor elevens. The phenomenal gate receipts for 1916 are attributa- ble to numerous causes. The Tufts game was good one because of it's interest to Greater Boston. ,The Cor nell game, coming late in October, made the most money ever recorded for a Harvard-Corne1l contest, be- cause the >Ithacans beat Harvard last year and were rated as possible cham pions before they came to Cambridge this season. Princeton drew a record crowd
 The Brown game was a big finan- cial success because the Bruins whip ped Yale soundly the Saturday before the Harvard game and the reputation of the Providence e. yen made them a strong box office attraction. The

FORMER
 HARVARD STAR, IS
 KILLED IN FACTORY

Boston, Nov. 29-The untimely death of Stanley B. Pennock, the former Harvard football star, was learned with regret in New Haven circles yesterday. Pennock was kill ed in an explosion at the plant of the Aromatic Chemical Co.,, of which he was one of the partners.
 Pennock was an All-American guard on the Harvard elevens of 1913 and 1914 Pennock's identity as a football man was not learned until yesterday when the body was claimed by the yoAng mans father and re- moved to the Pennock home in Syra- cuse.
 Stanley Pennock. like Marshall Newell, will live in the annals of Har- yard athletics. He was man of sterling character and- -attainments, a credit to his university on the foot bal field as we'll as elsewhere. He will always rank as one of the great guards of all time, careful, yet dash ing in his play, a very rock on de- fense, and a driving force extensively. He stood with Storer, Hitchcock, Parmenter, Trumbull and Hardwick as a strong element in the fame att tained by backs such as Mahan, Brickley and Bradloe.
 One of Pennockes inspirations as an athlete was his mother, who followed his career closely and knew as much about the fine points of football as most expert observers.

 Economy, therefore, will be the watchword with the American League e next year, and those unfortunate players not under contract for the 1917 campaign will have to affix their signature to documents at the owners s figures or otherwise remain idle <
 Now that the troubles of baseball are over said Ban in the American League headquarters yesterday after noon, i've will have to return to sound basis--3ne where men who have invested their money in the game stand a reasonable. chance of obtaining fair return. There will be no renewal of high salaried war contracts next season. The players must understand this.

FANS EXPECT TO

 AT CASINO FRIDAY

Hugh Ross of this city has been training hard for his bout with Jimmy O'Hagan at the. Casino Fri day night and expects to win from the Albany, N. Y., slugger. John the Barber" the New York promoter. is managing O'Hagan and he wants to bet all kinds of money his boy will put Ross away. This will be the star bout of the Bridgeport Sporting club card. Because of his showing against Champion Al Mccoy and Cowboy Charley Shands, Ross is the favorite in the betting.
 In the semi-final Frankie Conifrey, the fighting fireman of New York, will mix it up with Charlie Pitts, the Australian youngster. Because of the lively scrap these boys put up here last month the fans are expecting a fierce go. This is booked for 10 rounds.
 The local ring favorite, Kayo Moran, will tackle a tough customer when he meets Bob Slavin of New YLork in a 10 round engagement. Moran has the punch but Slavin is said to have more science and is likely to bother Moran. In the pre- liminary Jeff Began and Young Kill bane of this city will be matched to go four rounds. The sale of seats has been large and indications point to a crowded house.

RIBBONS SHOW UP STAMFORD STARS
 IN LIVELY BATTLE
(By Wagner.)


 Even such good player as Joe Dreyfuss can't do it all. The sturdy Stamford youngster worked hard last night but the team work of the Blue Ribbons was too much for him and the home boys won from the down state crowd at Colonial hall by 33 to 20. Dreyfuss was closely watched. He broke loose several times, though, and caged three baskets.
 George Smith made a couple of good shots but for the greater part of the time was outplayed by Stretch HaI- vey of the Ribbons. Eddie White, the Ribbon youngster, displayed great inn Swenson was as brilliant as usual and Jimmy Clinton was also in fine 1ettle.
 Tn the first five minutes Stamford held the locals well ',lt after that the Ribbons began to draw away and at the end of the period were ahead by 20 to g. 'amford fought hard in the second half but could not overcome the lead.
 The game was partially spoiled by the poor work of the referee. He called 36 fouls and slowed up the con- test to such an extent that the fans were bowling with displeasure. A ref cree in a professional game ought to know the people pay to see a lively battle. They want action and they are justly indignant if the referee is continually calling fouls for trivial in fractions of the rules. If Manager Leavy is wise he will ask the league secretary not to send Lush here any more. The lineup:

In no game this seac has it been necessary for Brown to resort to this method of scoring, but in Colgate pretty stiff opposition is anticipated, and Brown will be ready for all emer- gencies.
 The Brown lineup Thursday will probably be slightly different from what it was in either the Yale or Harvard games, for both Ward, tackle, and Conroy, half back, are likely to be in their regular posi- tions. <.
 Every seat in the stands on An drews Field has been sold, and tickets for the Colgate game are now at a premium in this city Not a ticket remains at the Athletic Association office, and hundreds of applications arfe being returned unified. No tickets will be sold at the ticket office at the field Thursday morning, and many persons who are coming here to see the game are going to be dis appointed.

NEW BEDFORD SOCCER A STARS TO PLAY HERE
 ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON

E Bridgeport City, soccer champions of this state, will tackle the. hardest opposition they have met this season at their new park next Sunday when the New Bedford team, which is on a trip through this section, will furnish the opposition to the local cracks. On paper the two teams seem evenly matched and fine game is expected.
 New Bedford has a proud record. They have been in existence but three seasons -but in that time have won many honors. The first year they were semi -6naHsts in the National cup Competition and won the champion ship of New England The second year they won the honors in the big New England professional league, lost in the final of the Southern New Eng land cup and went out in the third roun of the National cup. Last year they won the Southern New England title by winning that cup competition and this year they are just as strong as ever.
 The clash Sunday will give local fans line on the opposition that the City eleven can expect in the big cup tie matches. The Lynn G. E.. who lost to the City team here, ranks far down in the list around Boston this year and when they were at their strongest last season lost to New Bed fordd by score of ' to on their home grounds
 Sundays game will be the fourth in 3 row for New Bedford and the sixth 1n eight days. They play tomorrow at home with Fore River and then jour- Eey to Allentown, Pa, for a game Friday. On Saturday they go to Beth lehem, Pa, and play the champions and will come here on Sunday.

PENN. IS WARNED
 BY COACH NOT TO BE. 0VERCONFIDENT

Philadelphia, Nov. 29-The Red and Blue eleven went through the final workout for the. Cornell game yesterday afternoon at Whitemarsh Valley Country club, and six plays that Penn managed to retain unused in the Michigan game were the chief forms of attack used by FolwelPs band. Folwell fears over-confdence on the part of his warriors, and he warned the men against it, telling them Cornell was going to make a desperate fight all during the com bat, and that if Penn loafed an in- stant it could expect nothing but de- feat.
 Bert Bell drove the varsity in the signal drill, and Jimmy Bryant had charge of the second team on the golf links. Bell cannot arouse the playing speed of the first team as well as Bryant, but he is a cool. field general and he picks the spots with excellent judgment.
 Graves Williams, who has had a good rest, was worked out with the second eleven, and Harry Ross, who Is now able to run through a signal drill, was raced up and down the field for half an hour.
