DICKY KERR
SOME PITCHER
Juvenile Port Side Hurler of White
sox Made Monkeys Out OF
Yanks In Last
Game

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servfce.1
NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-There are
a lot of Gotham fans who are ready 20
saw that the bugs who have been class
ing the White Sox as a two pitcner
team are loco. Their biggest argument
against this belief is Dicky Kerr, the
juvenile port-side hurler of the Glea-
son fold.
This youngster seems almost sure to
get a crack at the Reds in the big
series, and those who saw him making
monkeys out of the Yanks yesterday
believe he is good enough to keep
Gleason from making Cicotte and Will
liams do superior man stunt
against the Morans.
If the White Sox uncork the brand
of ball they spilled yesterday on the
Polo grounds, they can take a chance
with Bill James, Grover Lowdermilk
or Roy Wilkinson in the box against
the Reds.
Gleason has murderous team on
the attack and the defense of his In
field and the gardens is la concerto.

COLLEGE TEAM IS
COMING SATURDAY
keokuk High School VIII Tackle
Something Real In Way Of Foot
ball Opponents at Play
grounds Then.
DOPE FAvoRs VISITORS
They are Bigger, Have More Weight
and Experience, But keokuk VIII
Fight EN- Hard for Every
Yard.


Keoluk High school will meet the
Culver Stockton college football team
Saturday ON the local gridiron at the
Fairgrounds. Judging from all inside
dope the game probably will go to the
Missouri college bunch by close
score. Culver Stockton is four year
college and their players are all above
high school age and have experience
and weight in their favor.
On the other hand, Keokuk has the
advantage of playing on it's own field,
and has had an extra week of prac.
tice. There will be some new faces
in the lineup Saturday, in all prob
ability as ii is said that the first
team has not been picked and any
member who thinks he has his posi-
ton cinched may find himself on the
side lines.
Coach Rosenthal of Culver Stock
ton is using a white washed football
and is conducting ghost bail prac-
tice after it is too dark to scrimmage.
He will bring eighteen players here
Saturday and will give Keokuk the
hardest battle of the season. The
game is going to be good one from
the rooters' standpoint and after the
showing made last Saturday. Keokuk
should play to crowddt gallery.
The locals say they will make can
ton open UP with everything 1t has to
beat them Saturday, and that it's go
ing to be a battle royal from the first
blast of the whistle.

AS movie picture patron do you
know that the Colonial shows the
earliest releases of the moving pic
ture stars? The best pictures cost
the most money, but the Colonial
does not stop at expense when it
comes to pleasing its patrons. While
the Colonial is not the largest pic
ture house in the city It does secure
the best pictures and that is why it
is popular. The releases were con-
tracted for months ago and the man
agement took pains to select the
very highest class OF talent. For
that reason all pictures shown at the
Colonial will be good ones and all
patrons will be pleased patrons which
assures the ever increasing popu-
larity of the house. One OF the bet

in town is crowded with students
looking in vain for permanent acco-

In the midst of all the confusion
