Frank Quigg, the umpire. better
known as the senator" who was held
In high esteem In Iowa. League circles
until he made a bad break or two ut
keokuk last season Is, going 20 annex
himself to the Texas League. t,u;gg
has been ALTERNATING In. Waterloo dur
ing the winter months. He expects to
leave for Texas about April g. The
senator was added to Quigg's name
IN Oklahoma some years ago. by reason
OF an appearance before that terri
tory's legislature in opposition to q
Sunday base ball measure, and he
should thrive and prosper in a climate
like the one in which h's made his rep
utation.
.,sr' Swain, of the 1904 pitching
STAN q the Grays, is looking for birth
In the Iowa League. "Sf' never had
much" as a pitcher, at least not dur
Ing his local performances but he had
In base ball brains what he lacked in
curves and deceptive shoots. "Sf' has
applied to Manager Egan for job, but
ne doesn't look good to Burlington's
manager. While "Si' never made a
great reputation In the Iowa League as
q twirler he was one Of those thorough
~ gentlemanly ball players which are
too seldom found in the uniforms of
professional teams.
Boone has signed a young pitcher
NH {c n a a Stn M g
Pete Dunn and he halls from near
woodward. Dunn pitched for the
woodward Independent team last sea-
Of base ball. Dunn reports with the
work out.
Boyle, OF Fort Dodge, has taken on
A6ackey, the shortstop, known some
what locally, for another years con-
tract. Mackey is popular in Fort
Dodge. He didn't finish last season
with Fort Dodge, owing to sickness but
Gays he is in pink of condition" now.
iMackey is given to getting sick late in
the season. He had an attack here in
1904. during the last weeks Of the sea-
son, which left the G1ays without a
shortstop unless you count Jimmie Hoy.
Johnson, Boone's Manager Is after
Bobby Alberts, another of Warmers
f1rst-season finds. AMoerts does not
like the looks Of Boone contract be-
cause there seems to be smallness of
pay attached to it that Is not to Albert's
liking. From Waterloo, where Alberts
has been spending the winter, comes
the report that Alberts hit 1926 at Ha-
warden where he managed an amateur
bunch, after he was detached from the
Iowa League last summer. There are
a lot of fans around this town that will
have to be shown" If Alberts made
any such record. He didn't do it dur
ing the parts of two seasons he drew
local pay.
Evidently the Burlington Club is to
be hardened in when the season opens
for Egan has arranged for series of
thirty-one exhibition games Egan will
either kill off his men or make them
pennant winners, before the season
opens. From early dope 1t would APP
pear that this would be too strenuous
a life for a player. who had not become
hardened in, and while the weather
was yet raw and wintery.
