Egan and the Burlington Players.
It has not been denied by the local
association that Manager Egan would
make good thing out of the five base
pali players whom he received from
Burlington in the trade for the park
fixtures. The local management might
possibly have cleared as high as three
hundred dollars off the men, but it
would have involved a good deal of
trouble and dickering with various
managers. Egan is an adept in that
art and will be able to make more.
He is now offering Catcher Eng for
woo, Pitcher Plympton for $3.50 and
refuses to part with Pitcher Wood and
Second Baseman Matt. If he can
make seven or eight hundred dollars
out OF the five men there will be no
one in Burlington who will begrudge
him the money. In return for them
and $3.50, the local association has
secured a park equipment which
would cost them $1,000 to duplicate.
And above all. they have got rid of
the Egan ownership, which lay SO
heavily on the minds of many good
fans here and caused them to lose in
terest in the game The fact that
there is a great relief at being rid of
Manager Egan's ownership in the park
is made very clear by the manner in
which local business men and fans de-
clare themselves in responding to the
advances of the soliciting committee.

Wednesday night will be shown the

as fireman. He falls in love with
the engineers pretty daughter, but
his father objects. BY accident an
engine gets away from the round
house and is rushing down the track
on which the presidents special is
speeding. The girl, who is tele-
graph operator, learns Of the danger,
and failing to find her father, takes
out his engine alone, speeds ahead of
the special, and when her engine APP
proaches the runaway, makes leap
for life, and allows the two engines
to crash together, thus saving the
special

be forgotten. The seat sale opens

Merchants Generous.

The soliciting committe visited a
number of the business firms yester-
day with surprisingly satisfactory re-
suits. Everywhere they were received
cordially as men having a good bust
ness proposition. The day was not the
best in the world for the matter in
hand merely because the stores were
damned with customers and the pro-
prietors and managers were up to
their ears in business Yet, a gener-
GUS response was made in many cases
and In others the committee were
asked to call in at another time to
consider the proposition offered, with
assurance that something would be do
ing.
The score card proposition is the
best thing that has yet been present
ed to the local merchants. Over thir-
ty thousand Of these cards will be dis
tributed to ticket buyers at the base
ball grounds during the season free OF
charge. and the advertising value OF
such publicity is not to be denied. Ev-
cry merchant sees the point and has
taken space in generous quantities on
the pages.

Is of Opinion That Central Associa-
ton Clubs Should Not Play
Exhibition Games With
Each Other.
SAYS SO IN LETTER
Manager Belt is One Of Leaders Who
Agrees With Executive in This
Matter-Money is
Divided.

If Central Association managers
follow the suggestion of President NJ
e. Justice there will be no exhibition
games played between clubs of this
league.
In my opinion exhibition games
should not be played between clubs of
the Central Association said Presi-
dent Justice. They serve to give
fans an early line on the comparative
strength of the various clubs, and in
some instances may detract from the
attendance, especially during the first
trip around the circuit. believe that
the weaker clubs are affected by these
early clashes It is not my intention
of enforcing rule that would prohibit
clubs from doing this-that is not
within my jurisdiction; but do hope
that the suggestion will be followed. .
Suggestion Good One.
Although managers and directors
generally believe that exhibition
games between clubs OF the Central
Association are not the best for the
league, such games have been ar
ranged in the past because of the
small expense incurred Manager
Frank Belt of Keokuk, however, has
stood out against booking such games
unless absolutely forced to. and the
result has been that fans here turn
out generously for peep at each
club as it makes the first trip around
the circuit.
Seven Central Association clubs
have had their guarantee of $500 paid
during the past week and in addition
received a small sum in cash. Presi
dent Justice received the $4,000 from
Quincy and added it to the guarantee
money from Monmouth and Galesburg

SQUAD INCLUDES THIRTY

A squad of thirty or more veterans
and semi-pro s'touts' will report for
spring training in Keolluk on Monday,
April 10, when the first kinks will
be worked out of their rusticating
wings. The opening date of the
spring workout is later than 1t has
been for several years past, but three
weeks and half is believed to be
plenty of time to condition a team for
the seasons hardships Last year
every exhibition game was played at
home, Belt having in mind the dis
astrous training season of 1909 when
much money was expended. This year,
however. it may be necessary to
make 2 few trips into ''Three-Eye''
league territory.
Few exhibition games have been an
nounced by other clubs over the cir
cult. Egan has secured long series
with one of the "Three-Eye" clubs
and several of the managers have been
| fortunate to book major league clubs.
! There will be a number of games be-
tween clubs in the Central Association,
but Manager Belt is seeking to avoid
this is possible.

Is Manager Frank Belt dickering
for one Of the best catchers in minor

That is the question which today
puzzled the wise fan who has had
his ear to the keyhole of local base

a transaction maybe made

What Deal Would Mean.

While Quincy would lose yalu-
able man in Clarke, Hofer would have
a strong outfleld providing Ed. Reichle
comes back in the form that he dis
played two seasons ago. Then, again.
Blue Jacket is due to come around
for great season if he is ever to be
at his best
The services of such man as
Clarke would be invaluable to Keokuk
and would mean that Belt has finally
succeeded in securing catcher that
can deliver the goods. This is cast
ing no reflections on Catcher Mason,
who, by the way, has not yet signed a
contract
Foxy" Morris is simply thrown
into the pot for good measure. 1t is
likely that Hofer could peddle him
to one of the I'M clubs or in some
other organization.
