FORT MADISON
is FRIGHTENED
The Prowess Of the Standard Four
Baseball Team Seems to Have
Annexed the Angora
UP There.

That the Fort Madison city team
lis scared to death by the crack
Standard Four team is indicated by
the following whistling to stimulate
courage in the Fort Madison Demo.
crat:
The fact that the Standard -Four
baseball nine of Keokuk is an unde.
feated organization does not throw
fear and trembling into the hearts
of the members Of the Fort Madison
City team, which is to play that or.
ganization here at Ivanhoe park next
Sunday, since they believe that with
their present strong aggregation they
will be able to deal the first defeat
to the Gate City bunch.
That good game will be staged
here Sunday is practically certain,
since both teams are high standing
among the amateur baseball organi.
cations of the state.
Fort Madison will probably use
the same lineup as played in last
contest, since II contains
the strongest men of the organization
and the desire Of the locals to defeat
the Keokuk team is very great. Rit.
ter, star pitcher for the locals, will
In all probability be placed in the
box.

not alone on a defense Of insanity, but

her trial for the alleged murder of her
three year old son. will be urged as a
precedent in News defense.
Attorneys pointed out that the gen
eral theory OF the defense in the two
cases would be much the same-that
the murder, II murder was committed
by the defendant, was done in mo
ment of temporary insanity.
In the case Of Mrs. Dunn, while bel
trial was in progress, she was permit
ted TO plead guilty 70 manslaughtel
and was sentenced to one year in the
house of correction. Lawyers say the
court took the insanity plea into con
sideration in passing sentence.
News defense will claim New was
temporarily insane, If he did murder
Miss Lesser and that If he cannot BIZ
acquitted on the insanity plea, a man

sanity defense should be returned.

The local club opens a critical
series today with the Detroit Tigers,
who have been advancing through
good pitching and hitting. The
Yanks need good pitching If they are
to recover while meeting the strong
westerners, and the season Is so near
a close that, unless they stage their
comeback at once. 1t is very likely
they will be unable to stage 1t at all.
