If signs have been read Alright the
first signal in the fight over the en-
forcement of the salary limit IN the
Iowa State League has been sounded,
What the outcome will be will not be
determined until in July. and upon
that outcome depends largely the con-
tinuing or breaking up of the league.
In the filing of the protest by Mar
shalltown that Manager Boyle's con-
tract has never been filed with Secre-
tary Farrell. the first move was made
managers intentions and questions the
claim that Ft. Dodge's good team is
within the salary limit. The same
facts hold good with Burlington. whose
managers contract has also never been
filed. AS result both of these man

tack, and both have made possible the
protesting of games, which MARSHALL

given it by the league directors at the
Ottumwa meeting last fall. There are
some clubs in this league. and Mar

go to make up the s1100
If the league officials do as they
agreed to do, there is only one action
they can take regarding the two pro-
tested games here-that is, throw them
out-and TT. Dodge won both. There
is one other thing that should be done
and that is, make each and every club
live up to the salary agreement or
apply the fine.
