OUEISSER'S TASK
IS A TRYING ONE
keokuk Manager, Like Other C. A.
Leaders, VIII Find Low Salary
Limit on to Ham
per Him.
ONLY SHORT TRAINING
It Was Pointed Out by Fan Today
That Club with six Weeks
Training Would Make
Ten.strlkc.

Manager Art Queisser of the Keo-
kuk club will come to keokuk on
April list to begin one of the most try
ing tasks of his baseball career. Not
that his Job will be any harder than
that of other C. A. managers, but
simply that the development of a
classy team in the compact little cir
cult will be one fraught with difficult
ties because of the low salary limit.
Managers will strive to build up teams
as good as the league has had in the
past, and in this problem the low sal.
airy limit will geratly hamper them.
This question was raised by we'll
posted baseball man in Keokuk today:
Would not manager make a ten
strike who reported about forty play
ers for spring training along in the
middle of March, sifted the squad
down gradually and taught his men
some inside ball before the season
opened. 1t is true the cost would be
greatly increased because of transpor-
tation and hotel bills, but the develop
ment of single ball player would
meet this additional expense
Manager Queisser will bring to
Keokuk between twenty-five and thir-
ty ball players on April s, just three
weeks before the Central Association
season opens. Two-thirds of these men
will be wholly inexperienced. The one
third will be men Of fair ability who
have had one or two or possibly three
years of experience in Class D base
ball. Can Queisser develop n strong
team from this material in three
weeks time? 1t is almost certain that
he can not Other c. A. teams will be
presented with the same difficulty
If this condition is true, and there
is no reason to believe that it will not
prove 10. the eight clubs will not find
themselves until along in the early
part of June. The first months play
will simply mean a seasoning for the
real test later on.
Secretary Sterne was asked today il
he contemplated suggesting trades tc
Tom Hayden when the latter arrives
tomorrow, or if Keokuk had in mine
the purchase of any players. Secretary
Sterne replied no to each question. II
speaking of the purchase of player!
he stated that the club would not pa,
salary enough to players who nigh
