The Triangle Club will meet the
ball tossers from Hamilton at Hubin-
ger park this afternoon at three
o'clock This is the only baseball
that the local fans have an opportun-
ity to see and it is said that the
amateurs are putting up much fast
er brand of bal than was seen during
the season of the Central Associd-
ton.
It seems that President Justice
took great deal of liberty with the
Hon. Tom Hayden, at the Burlington
meeting, much to that gentleman's
discontinue, in regard to the salary
limit question The gentleman's
agreement, referred to by Mr.. Hayden,
regarding the arrangement with
Rohn, was not as legal as he mad
plain that it should not be repeated.
Baseball makes more crooks than
any other sport" was the opinion OF
a local fan yesterday, while the salary
limit was under discussion. Affidayits
by directors of the clubs and players,
purport that the clubs are all under
the limit, while President Justice
made himself plain in Burlington
that he knew positively that six of
the clubs were in direct violation of
the salary limit
Reports from Ottumwa declare that
the salary of Ned Egan for the entire
season is unpaid as we'll as some
funds that he advanced out of his own
bankroll to help the club through fl
nancial crisis. An appeal has been
sent out to the fans to come to the
rescue and pay the salary for Ned.
Gregory, the Ottumwa twirler, who
went to Cincinnati last week opened
his season in the National League by
beating the Cubs Friday, four to one.

negligent Teams 10 Suffer.

Another amendment to the consti-
tuition was made directing that when
a visiting team fails to arrive in time
to play a game that contest shall be
played subsequently in a double head
er and the visiting team shall not re-
ceive the $50 guarantee.
The matter came up through sug-
gestion Of Thomas Hayden, of the
Burlington team, who thought some
provision should be made to relieve
the home city from an expense which
AT clearly is not responsible for. He
pointed out that when visiting team
arrived too late for a game through
no fault of the home team, but most
likely through an effort of the visit
| ing teams manager to save expense
lby taking the last available train, 10
| the next playing point the local maIi-
lagement lost every cent of gate re-
ceipts and under the present rule was
compelled to pay the erring team $50.
After lively discussion in which con-
| flicting sentiments were revealed the
| law was made to read as above.

Playing Season Dates Changed.

Hugh Hill, of Kewanee, was re-
sponsible for the decision to start and
close the playing season two weeks
later than heretofore, and not a pro-
test was made against the idea. He
pointed out that Labor Day was bad
day on which to close the season, and
that if the season was opened about
the middle of May more time would be
available for practice, and the fans
would have two weeks longer of base
ball at time of year when it was
most enthusiastic for it.
The proposition was adopted unani-
mously and the president instructed
to have the next seasons playing
schedule drawn up to fit the later
period The disposition was to again
! give into the hands of the president
the sole authority to select play
ling schedule. as in the case of the
past season, which worked very salts

Muscatine Presents Plea.

Mr.. A. s. Lawrence representing
Muscatine, brought up the matter of
penalty imposed upon Muscatine for
its failure to make good on the pledge
of $4,000 attendance in oil. The mat
ter was threshed over last fall at OF
tumwa, and in a subsequent meeting
or the league, and it was finally agreed
to give Muscatine the same benefit
that Monmouth and Galesburg re-
ceived in similar cases. This left a
total of $40 which Muscatine was to
pay into the league treasury in lieu of
the shortage in attendance. There the
matter stood, the amount claimed by
the league from Muscatine being COW
cred by a note of $500 in the hands of
President Justice. Mr.. Lawrence re-
cited the difficulty which Muscatine
had Unexpectedly encountered that
year in the expensive strike that
paralyzed the city, and he represented
that Muscatine wanted the league to
do the fair thing by it, President Hay
den of the Burlington team argued in
favor Of wiping out the claim against
Muscatine, but Frank Lynch, of OF
tumwa, was emphatically opposed to
such action unless Monmouth and
Galesburg also were treated in the
same manner After a long debate on
the question II was ordered that the
amount claimed from Muscatine be ex-
tended without interest for a year.
~. I'D ftpt
Muscatine would give up its franchise
In the league. Muscatine did not care
for the money, but looked at the prin-
ciple of the thing. He did not feel
that Muscatine was being treated fair
ly by the association.
Meanwhile Bert Hough of Mon
mouth suggested that if Muscatine
paid Monmouth and Galesburg their
share of the fine due from Muscatine
that possibly the rest of the directors
would be willing to cancel theirs.
Lynch, of Ottumwa, emphatically said
he would not be in favor of giving up
Ottumwa's share There the matter
was dropped, and Mr.. Lawrence went
back to Muscatine to report the situa-
ton. 1t is believed that the matter
can be adjusted and that Muscatine
will remain in the circuit. The direc-
tors are up against the proposition
that If they remit Muscatine's penalty
they will have to pay back to Mon
mouth and Galesburg the amounts
which those cities paid in fines for
their failure to make good on guar
anteed attendance.
Violation of Salary Limit.
The matter of the violation of the
salary limit was brought up by re
mark of President Justice that it
might be a good thing to make some
award to the two teams in The circuit
which were not over ths limit. This
aroused curiosity and the demand was
made that the two cities be named
LIT developed that Muscatine was one
of them and that Burlington was not.

The matter of the disposal OF the
funds in the treasury was settled by a.
motion of r. N. Mason, of Hannibal.
that all save the $400, which each club
had paid into the treasury as guar
antee Of finishing the season, remain
In the treasury. This was adopted,
and the president was instructed to
send each club the s4O0 due it on the
refund. This is better deal than the
clubs got last season, when they each
lost $50 on their guarantee.
Burlington League Headquarters.
That portion of tn. constitution,
providing that the annual meeting
shall be held in the city winning the
pennant, was amended to give the
president discretionary powers as to
the city In which the annual meetings
shall be held. The old rule was an
expensive one in railroad fares when
outlying cities won the pennant. 1t
is the intention of President Justice
hereafter to call annual and special
meetings of the association in Bur
,lington, which is the most central
point and which is easier of access In
the circuit This plan meets the APP

The Case Of Groaan.

President Thomas Green Of the Bur
lignton baseball association present
ed motion that the fine assessed
against Player Grogan of the Keokuk
team. for his fight with Manager
Queisser on the Burlington grounds
be revoked Mr.. Green made strong
plea for Grogan, pointing out that
Queisser was in the wrong. Manager
Egan spoke in behalf of Grogan,
whom he said was trying to earn his
way through school and needed all the
money he could save. President Grit
fey of the Keokuk team, stated that
as he had heard the story of the con-
f1ict it was exactly different from that
related by Mr. Green. President JUS
! tice said Grogan admitted having
spoken roughly to Queisser and that
Queisser stated he had hit Grogan.
Mr.. w. H. Davidson, of Burlington, the
only one in the meeting who had VII
messed the encounter, related the cir
cumstances, as seen from the grand
stand and pointed out the fact that
only two or three Keokuk players
who were close to the men at the time
of the difficulty could have any knoWl-
ledge of what, was said or how the
trouble started. but that the eircum-
stances as understood in Burlington
| were just as related by Mr. Green.
The directors voted to sustain Pres
Iident Justice in assessing the fine on
Grogan.

| ed that the charge of fifty cents for
double headers be abandoned and that
the various cities in the circuit be
