Keupper played semi-professional baseball in Southern Illinois until friends recommended him to Frank Donnelly, manager of the Peoria Distillers, who happened to be in Southern Illinois on a hunting trip. His proponents compared him to Orval Overall and Donnelly gave him his first job in professional baseball with the Distillers.[1]
