Waterloo Courier: Frank Belt
has made his protest of the games
played Sunday. giving for grounds of
protest that Waterloo had too many
players on the bench. AS a counter,
Manager Boyle has also protested the
recent games played in Keokuk when
that team also carried too many play
ers. With two catchers laid up 1t
was absolutely necessary for Boyle
to carry an extra player. but Mr.. Belt
should know and If he does not
he will be told in unmistakable terms
that not al Of the players on the bnech
were drawing salaries. Both Lizette
and Searles were under suspension
during the time they were injured and
Searies Is still without the fold. Mr..
Belt served notice to the official scor-
er Sunday that he would protest the
games on account of the grandstand
being too close to the home plate.
Some Of the cooler heads Of the
Keokuk team evidently advised him
that this protest could never be made
/ to stick ard therefore the new
charge was trumped up.
