Base Ball Dope.

On Friday the Filler ball team
went to Bull and engaged that
team in a onesided contest. The
game resulted in a score of % To ,
In favor of Filler. The rame had
little interest after the first in ming
since it was bat and run affair for
Filler. Dingle made a home run
for Filler when he swatted fly
that for time threatened to go
beyond the city limits and required
several minutes to retrieve. This
was the most exciting feature OF
the game and it won Dingle ABOUT
$ll or $l2 in prize money.
The game that caused the big
excitement, turmoil and tribulation
came Sunday afternoon when the
Rupert team came To Filler To-
show the team here just what
they could do toward carry np :

they got away with it. just how
it was done no one seems to know
for there was apparently no reason
whatever for the gift of the game
of Rupert. Our boys started ia
with a whirlwind rush and 500
gathered in nine big runs while
Rupert annexed two. The score
stood thus until the first half of
the oighth inning when something
broke and let Rupert into the
pasture. In this inning Carson
apparently weakened and began.

few little hits run IN SIX scores for
Rupert. The act was repeated in
the first half of the ninth for n
couple of sc res and Filler failed
TO connect in their half and it was
all over.

that enveloped the Filler team and

CITY HALL VOTE
COMES SATURDAY
keokuk viii Decide Then az "a
Whether It Will Build Memorial
to Its Soldiers, Sailors, Ma
rines and Nurses.
PROJECT Is IMPORTANT
Cities All Over United States Show
Progressiveness by This Form
Of Memorial to Their
Heroes.
PROJECT is IMPORTANT

Keokuk will vote Saturday of this
| week on the question of erecting a
city hall building as memorial to
her soldiers, sailors, marines and
nurses. The polls will open at Z
o'clock in the morning and will be
open until the same hour in the even
ing. Women will be etitled to vote
on the proposition.
The proposed memorial building
would centralize the city depart
ments in one big building, would give
a central place for holding meetings,
conventions, and the like, and would
give Keokuk new and modern city
hall that no one need feel ashamed
OF, besides providing memorial
building for the men and women from
Keokuk who served in the great war.
A member Of the commission said
today that the proposed building not
only would for all time be memorial
to the soldiers, sailors and others
who went from Keokuk but that it
would provide for very needed i'm
provement, city hall, where all de-
partments OF the city are centralized
and where one could go to transact
city business without, as he said,
always feeling like apologizing" for
those long, dark Railways and "un-
comfortable surroundings"
The law provides for the levying
of tax not to exceed five mills for
the memorial building. 'If people
would realize just how much more
valuable their property would be with
an improvement of this sort in the
city, they would not hesitate to vote
for the project" man who likes to
see Keokuk progressive said today.
Over 265 cities In the United States
already have decided upon the city
hall memorial as the most fitting
way to honor their soldiers, accord
ing to writer in The American City.
A thousand other cities are also con-
sidering the project. KeokulS is the
first of the cities in this part Of tho
country to try the building as city
hall building, and the election Satur-
day will be watched with consider
able interest throughout the state.
The woman's vote will be heavy,
according to all indications. No reg
istration will be required OF the
women; all that will be necessary
will be to go to the polls, give their
names. and receive their ballots.
