| From Waterloo alone has there
come any protest against the revised
schedule as adopted This protest Is
based on the fact that in the revision
one Sunday game, originally scheduled
for Waterloo, was taken away from 1t
and that the first at-home Sunday
game does not come until early in
June. From the same source has
come charges that President Peckham
has not acted In good faith in this
matter of the revision, and 1t is
charged that he has used his influence
to give Marshalltown the advantage
over Waterloo. Without any attempt
to defend Peckham 1t may be said,
that as matter of fact Peckham had
nothing whatever to do with the re-
vision, except in so far as he sug-
gested changes that could be made for
q more equal division of the Sunday
and holiday games. These sugges-
expense of any other.
It is now almost an assured fact that
the annual tournament OF the Iowa
Golf Association, which is to be held
here during the summer will be held
during the opening week Of July This
will bring the tournament here on the
Fourth. While these dates have not
been officially announced there is said
to be an understanding among the di-
rectors of the association favoring this
week.
The season OF the "Three-I" league
opened Wednesday, with games at Pc
oria, Springfield. Rock Island and
Dubuque. Decatur opened at Peoria,
Bloomington at Springfield, Cedar Rap
ids at Rock Island and Clinton at Du-
buque.

worth to the management about $685.
