His Presence as Manager of the Cen
trial Association Team Has Lent
Activity to the
League.
WHAT DID EGAN MEAN
When He Supported Clinton in the
Tuesday Meeting of the Cen
trial Association in
This City

Although it was the opinion OF many
baseball men present at the league
meeting in this city Tuesday, that
Manager &. f. Egan was laying an egg
in his own nest when he strongly sup.
ported Clinton for the vacant berth
In the Central Association, neverthe-
less, the Burlington Gazette of last
evening comes out with an article
which would lead readers to believe
otherwise.
Manager Egan is quoted as saying
q favored Clinton for membership in
the league, because | believed that 1t
would be to the best interest of the
association to have that town in the
circuit It's admission would in a
large measure break the jump be-
tween the other towns and Waterloo,
especially the trip from Kewanee."
w. c. Eastland of Clinton is quot
ed as follows: 1--WE had made ar
rangements with Mr.. Drill, formerly
of the Washington and Detroit teams
of the American league, to manage our
team in case we We're granted a fran.
chise, and we know from past eXper-
fence that he would have given as a
| team to be proud of.
Those present at the meeting seem
ed to have bunch that Egan sup
ported Clinton throughout the SEES
sion because he wished to take reins
of that place himself The statements
of Egan and also of Eastland seem tc
dispose of this theory.
In spite of these statements, how
ever, there is little doubt but that
Egan would have landed in Clinton
had that city been given a franchise
What Egan is going to do during tn,
i coming season is matter of much In
/ terest to fans throughout the Contra
! Association, as his presence in the
! league has always lent activity to the
4 game and he has ever been one t
4 stir things up and is yet to plead
/ guilty to being dead one" Keo
! kuk wishes to see Manager Egan re
main in the league.

in which to engage in the banking
business, and could not find city that
looked better to them than Minot.
They thought at one time of opening

a thing were possible, and we beliete
that they have done the wise thing.
