TO REVISE SCHEDULE
Protest Of Quincy, Backed by Majority
Of tho League Associations, Will
Cause Changes to be Made in the
Adopted Schedule.

The Horrer playing schedule, which
was adopted by the Iowa State
League, almost two weeks ago, is to be
in part revised. Instructions to the
maker to do so were issued by Presi-
dent Peckham Saturday night. The
protest of Quincy which brought a
majority expression from the associa-
tons of the league that certain
changes should be made, was the rea-
son the schedule was ordered changed
Quincy objected because it was given
but eight Sunday and only one holiday
game while Burlington had eleven
Sunday games. Marshalltown, Water
loo, Oskaloosa, Keokuk and Quincy adj
vised having changes made so that
the schedule would give all concerned
a square deal. Egan, Burlingtons
manager, alone objected to any change
being made.
The changes will consist only of a
transfer of some of the Sunday and
holiday games, and the scheduling of
games for those Saturdays which, in
the original schedule, were made open
days. Leaving any Saturdays without
games was considered a poor plan by
most of those who wanted the changes
made,
