Eight Club Circuit With All Cities on
the River 10 Suggestion For
keokuk Fans 10 Think
Over.

A baseball league composed OF river
cities is being agitated by fans in q
number OF the cities along the Mis-
sissippi river, and Keokuk fans are
being sounded out On the subject by
some Of the men who know about the
league idea Among the cities for the
proposed alliance are Davenport.
Rock Island, Moline. Muscatine, Bur
lington, Keokuk, Quincy and two
others along the big creek. TO make
an eight-club circuit
The cost Of promoting such a
league is figured at $4,000, but the
travelling men In the various cities
stock without the cost OF promoting.
G.. r. Dennis. OF Keolluk, who has
preached the subject TO some OF the
fans here, is going to help sell the
stock for one Of the cities. where he
has headquarters.
1t has been suggested that the
local u. c. It's might take UP the
stock-selling campaign and handle It
at Keokuk, If Keokuk fans take kind
ly TO the league idea. The league be
ing on the river, could use this means
of transportation and CIT down travel
ing expenses. is one suggestion. An
other is that Sunday attractions in
wet cities are no more. for the reason
of there being no wet cities, 80 that
people will naturally turn to some
amusement, and baseball ought TO
pay ont In every city where a club
is put in this coming season.
It's up to Keokuk fans to express
their opinion.

UNCLE W1GGuY AND
ROLY-POLY.

Along through the grass came hop
ping the little rabbit boy, sammie.
"Oh, Unofe wiggily"' he cried. ..wm
you come and play Roly-Poly with US.
It's lots of fun. You have a rubber
ball and you make some little holes in
the ground. just big enough for the
rubber ball Then We all stand To-
gether, after we have each picked out
a hole Some one rolls the ball. and
If 1t goes into the hole you stand near
you have to run. take out the ball and
chase after the rest OF US"
''Oh, yes, I will 60" said the bunny
with a laugh IT haven't played the
Roly-Poly game since I was a little
rabbit like you, Sammie I'll come
and have some fun"
"Oh. here's Uncle wiggffy"' called
all the animal boys, as they saw Sam
mie bringing Mr.. L,ongears to the
game Now for a good time-'
Uncle Wiggily dug himself a little
hole in the sand, next to those made
by the animal boys for the Roly-Poly
rubber ball to roll into.
Well. the game went on for some
little time, and then, when it was the
rabbit gentleman's turn to roll the
ball. all at once out from the bushes
jumped the bad old fox.
''Burr-r-r-r-m" barked the foT "Tt,s
about time had good dinner! Now
I've caught you. Uncle WiggiIy"
Yes, I guess you have" sadly said
Mr.. Longears. But before you take
me away to your den. as I suppose
you are going to do, and bite souse
OF my ears, will you just let me finish
this Roly-Poly game?"
Yes" growled the fox, 'I suppose
shall have to. Roll away. but after
that along you come with me-"
Slowly and sadly Uncle Wiggily
rolled the Roly-Poly ball 1t went in
the hole near Johnnie BushytaiI, the
squirrel.
Look out, now" suddenly chat
tered Johnnie Everybody lookout
but the fox" with that the SQUIRREL
boy ran, picked something up off the
ground and suddenly threw it at the
fox. 1t hit him on his soft and tender
nose, and the fox howled and yowIed
and cried:
"Oh. dear! This is no place for me,
My nose is full of splinters! What
kind of Roly-Polly game do you call
this?-
"Ha! Har" laughed Johnnie. -
used round, prickly, stickery chest
nut burr. instead of the soft rubber
ball for you, Mr.. Fox. Do you want
any more"
NO" said the fox MY nose is too
sore" Then away he ran, not hurt
ing Uncle Wiggily at all, and the
bunny played Roly-Poiy until he was
tired But wasn't it smart of Johnnie
to think OF using a prickly chestnut
burr instead of rubber ball on the
bad fox? think so. And if the
wind doesn't blow the chimney of the
house over on top of the barn so the
automobile has to blow smoke out OF
