Bresnahan, Pennington, Hilly, Murray fend Cavanaugh Still Re main on the List Manager Queisser's one big problem next season will be a pitching staff dir for timber for this department. the fact that Second Baseman Jansen and possibly Centerfielder Reichle will be lost to the Indians, there re mains a good nucleus to build a pen nant winner around. The selection of Queisser as manag er of the Keokuk club will solve one great problem which has confronted the directors for several seasons, it is bolleved. While Cavanaugh caught good ball last year and was especially strong in his throwing, it cannot be ead tho Indians' have ever had a catching department that would go hand in hand with a winning aggre gation. Queisser himself is known to be a backstop of ability. Not only is he regarded as a clever fielding receiver, but he Is a dangerous hitter. Eight years of baseball wltli many clubs superior to Central Association teams havis given Queisser a knowledge of the game and should put him on* an even plane at least with the best backstop the compact little circuit will produce next season. Among the old members of the team are Bresnahan, Pennington, Hilly, Murray and Cavanaugh. They will all be reported in th spring along with several of the old pitchers, includ „.v v,* Murray wants* to be used on first base and there is no strong reason why he should Sot fill the position. As a pitcher Murray will hardly make a howling success for the reason that he has only a fair amount of speed and nothing very deceptive in his d- livery. But on first he is capable of a first class exhibition and should stick around .260 next season. As a pinch hitter Murray Is the best Keo kuk has produced in several years. Unless Hilly comes fast next season there will' be no end of disappoint ment in the local camp. However, he should be continued in the outfield, according to the general opinion here. Hilly's work was the sensation of the training season last year. He was used lit third and short and appeared With Pennington back on third the: ones for Manager Queisser to solve Galesburg Fans Meet. i^' GALESBURG, 111., Nov. 4—'The stockholders of the Galesburg Baseball Association, held a grand and glor ious meeting Friday night.. Out of 101 shares of stock 72 shares were rep resented. A new board of directors was elected as follows: W. H. Twil- leger, secretary of tne Purington! Brick Co. W. E.

A man ager will be chosen later. The fact that an execution issued in September was levied on the ball park for a judgment of $75, was not seriously considered, as of course the debt will be paid by the association. The news that Illinois park, the homo of organized baseball in this cIty, had been Beized, spread quite quickly about the city. Constable Kinney made the trip to the park early Thursday afternoon and some scout saw him industriously tacking up a notice of sale as long as a man's forearm and tipped the state of af fairs off. The Judgment on which the execution is based and the levy made Is in favor of Goldsmith and Temple, and is for $75. At, the time the judg ment was secured there was talk about attacking the receipts but this course was not taken. —Read The Dally Gate City.

Minneapolis plays completely puz zled the midwaymen and the gophers went through the maroon lines at will. The Chicago forwards were like' babies iij the hands of the "giants of the north" and it was invariably the second defense that stopped the Min nesota backs, when stopped they were. Scruby's much touted hooting was not in evidence. Pickering and Capron held their own with the ma roon punter and the single time Chi cago was within striking distance of the Minnesota goal, the maroons elected to try a forward pass, which failed, instead of giving Scruby a chance at a fleld goal. On the other hand Smith and Mor rell, unheralded, came to the front with the educated toe, Morrell kick ing a goal from placement from the 15 yard line and Smith getting two drop kicks from the 17 and 35 yard lines. Ralph Capron, younger broth er to George, the former famous Minnesota player, was the Individual star of tte game. Time and again the fleet-footed gopher quarterback shifted and side stepped and wriggled through the Chicago team for long gains.
