BURLINGTON WINS
OVER LOCAL TEAM
Keokuk Boys Played Scrappy Game,
But Just the Same Lost Out in
Score of 50
to II.
KEoKUK oUTCLAssED
Burlington is One Of the Fastest
Teams in Southeastern Iowa,
Every Man Being Good
Basket Shooter.

Before a medium sized crowd o!
rooters at the "Y'' gymn, Saturday
evening the Keokuk high school
basketball team lost fast and snap
by basketball game to the Burlington
high school team by the decisive
score of So to II.
The local boys gave the up-river
team hard fight all through the
game. and deserve much credit for
the efforts put forth. On account OF
longer training and more experience
the Burlington team ran up large
score. Every nan among the VS.
TORS could shoot baskets as well as
play his position, while the locals
had to fight for every point they
made.
For the visitors Roger was the
star basket shooter, dropping fifteen
through the rings. Johnson, OF the
Burlington team, was close second
with ten field baskets and one free
throw to his credit
The Burlington team has the repu-
tation of being among thes fastest OF
this section of the state, and the rep
utation has been well earned. They
surely play a good, clean game
For the locals, Ewing was the chief
basket shooter, caging three field
baskets and one free throw. He also
played a good defensive game. Sun
lev was the next best, he making
two baskets. and deserves much
credit for his scrappy playing. Con-
nell, at center, did good work, and
was not afraid to mix in. Odell and
Huiskamp played their usual good
game at guard, while Stadler and
Will filled Sunley's and Huiskamp's

By the greatest of all purifiers.
A common mistake in the treat
ment of scrofula has been the use
of mercury and other mineral mix
lures, the effect of which is to bot
tie up the impurities in the blood,
and hide them from the surface.
The impurities and dangers are
only added to in this way.
