| Keokuk fans who have been fol

| about convinced that the indictment
OF eight White Sox players, and their
Suspension By Owner Charles A
| Comiskey, practically snuffs out the
pennant hopes of Chicago.
Wherever the developments OF yes
terday are discussed there is one
dominant feature-reret that such
a thing should have come TO as
square a baseball magnate as Charlie
Comiskey. There are fans in Keokuk
who know him personally; there are
others who know him simply as the
owner OF a big league team, but they
are united in the opinion that Co
niskey is the -whitest man IL organ

stand why his players threw him
charges are true
Conliskey's attitude In suspending
the eight men, and his warning that
he will do all in his power to send
them out of organized baseball for
ever, proves that "Old Roman rings
true In this investigation He has

ganized baseball if it costs him a
ball club, and he has taken the first
step to cash in on this pledge.
That there must have been some
fire with all OF the smoke, local fans
were beginning to believe, but the
revelation of the grand jury yester-
day came as distinct shock to
White Sox fans at least Most OF
them were convinced that some Of
the players were involved, but the
personnel of the eight who are under
cloud was the real surprise.
why Comiskey's players elected
to throw him down, if they did, is
more than I can understand" one fan
who knows the Sox owner said yes
terday in talking over the expose.
He is one of the finest, sQuarest fig
ures in baseball, and is known as
such the country over. It is hard to
think that after man has built UP

that this scandal must come to him.

The results obtained in many parts
of the state, even in soils that are
harder to hold than ours, where not
able pieces of work are being done
with but small expenditure of money
and labor leads us to the conclusion
that erosion can be controlled on
Lee county farms.
A series of meetings have been
called for October 5 and in Lee
county at which time H H. Sunder-
lin of the extension department at
Ames will explain the methods of
checking erosion that have proved
on Iowa farms. Mr.. Sun

lem with large number of farmers
for a good many years and he can
tell us what is being done. The meet

INFIELD OF

Little to Choose Between Brooklyn,

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Much OF
the success of the club winning the
world series depends upon the work
of the infield.
Between the infelds of the two
clubs that seem booked to take par.
in the seasons baseball classic, there
is little to choose.
Brooklyn, which cinehed the pen.
nant in the National league, has a
peculiar combination, consisting OF
an outfelder on third base. a third
basep1an playing second and short
stop that the F1atbush fans have
been riding all season
Cleveland which seems a certain
winner in the American league, has
nothing to boast of, but Speaker S
troubles are caused by the lament
able loss Of Ray Chapman, one of
the best shortstops in the league, and
the jumping" of Joe Harris, last
years star first baseman.
Between Ed Konetchey and DOC"
Johnston, Brooklyn seems to have
the more dependable man on first
base. Both are dangerous men at the
bat with game busting ability.
At second base II is almost a toss
up between Pete Kilduff and Wamby.
On the offense. Ki1duff gets the
shade. but on the defense Wamby Is
more finished fielder Both are
young and neither has had world
series experience.
Ivy Olson at shortstop is player
who keeps the fans on edge every
time he gets chance. He should
make a good worlds series player,
however, as he has stood ND all
season under the constant "razzing'
of the Brooklyn fans and does his
best right after making a wobble.
He is only q fair hitter and an
ordinary base runner. Against the
Cleveland youngster. sewell. who
will be allowed TO play by Brooklyn,
Olson gets the choice merely because
he is more experienced and less liable
TO suffer nerves.
Larry Gardner gets the cali on
third base. Jimmy Johnston, brother
Of Doc, has made good after being
switched from the outfeId, but he isn't
capable Of the calibre Of play in the
Clevelander. Gardner is
rated by most pitchers as a danger
ous batter.
On the offense II would seem that
the Brooklyn infeId is superior by
a slight shade and inferior to Cleve-
land on the defense However, the
Indians have smoother working COM
bination and on that can be depend
ed upon more in pinch. II seems
On the whole that the infieId honors
must be given to Cleveland.

SOIL EROSION :.
TO BE CHECKED
Ames Experts to Come Into the
County TO Assist in Derfonstra-
tions in Regard to This
Feature.

The washing of the top layers <of
the soil from our hillsides and the
cutting of bitches that divide our
fields into small irregular pieces con-
stitute the most serious menace to
our agricultural land. Some time
ago the United States department of
agriculture made an estimate that a
cubic mile OF soil eroded from the
farms of the United States reaches
the gulf and the oceans each year.
If our state loses 1-4S Of 1t and Lee
county 1-99 of that it will mean a
six inch layer off of LOO acres each
year. This does not take into ac-
count the soil that does not reach he
g7llf-that which washes off our field
unto our neighbors.
The problem of holding on TO our
soil and OF stopping the bitches is
one that requires care and watchful-
ness. The cost of controlling soil
erosion can no longer be charged
against the soil or the field, but sub
tracted' from the high labor cost Of
