latter, it is suggested, may be the
mysterious well-known base ball man
who is now credited with being back
of Clinton.
Locally it has been stated that Egan
has offered to turn his interests here
over to an experienced man. who will
amply manage and direct the base ball
interest of Burlington.
The conclusion in the minds of
thinking fans-without any suggestion
whatever from Mr. Egan-is that Mr.
Egan is merely figuring on a double
ownership in the Central circuit, with
some other capable man as lieuten-
ant. This man, it is presumed, is the
unknown" to whom Mr.. Egan will
entrust the Burlington enterprise,
while he takes up the personal man
agement of Clinton, or in whose
charge he will place Clinton while he
remains in personal charge of Burling-
ton.
There may be absolutely nothing in
these rumors and conclusions. but in
the opinion of some it would not be
bad arrangement for Mr.. Egan, who
is amply capable of overseeing the
base ball fairs of two cities.
Few, if any, people believe that Mr.
Egan will turn Burlington down With

Burlington recognizes the fact that in

must give Mr.. Egan adequate finan

Fort Madison, the first work he had
was the building of house for Pad

in that vicinity twenty years ago when
the house was first built.
Afterwards he became city engineer
of Fort Madison and during his term OF
