shone as Fi,cner.

About the first recollection Kewa-
nee fans have of Rexey Is when he
used to come hare as member OF
the pitching staff of the Monmouth
Browns. He was about the hardes.
pitcher in the league for Kewanee to
beat. Finally he drifted away and
was signed by Muscatine. He played
with that club last season until the
champion bone head stunt of he
season was pulled The Muskies were
going badly so they signed up half
a dozen alleged ball players from
the exploded e, S. League, including
q manager reputed to be a $50 hitter
in the big league.
Both Were Canned.
The first thing the manager did
when he arrived on the ground was
to can Walters, Colman and several
of he rest and substitute the men he
brought from the east. The first
game after that, the new manager
with his $50 batting average struck
out three times with the bases full
and Muscatine lost the day. That
was a sickening pill for the long suf-
fering Muskie fans. About that time
Pennington put over little quick
work by signing Walters and Colman
and bolstering up his hitting depart
ment. These additions were made
while the Kewanee team was at Mus
catine and walters and the big Moose
after DOMINIC Boilermakers uniforms
proceeded to rap out enough hits to
clean up the Muscatine club three in
row. OF course that made the Mus
catine fans feel lot more pleasant
In a pinch Roxey can pitch very
respectable game and after House and
SAKE had parted company with the
club along late in the season, Roxey
took his turn in the box and when
not pitching played first base.

about $1,000 In a short time these
notes will fall due and unless there
is money enough in the treasury to
pay them, the fifteen directors will
have to produce a sum OF $500 each.
This is not an encouraging outlook
for the men who have made the game
possible in Monmouth and an appeal

BY the purchase of the entire Gales

free from the usual expense Of trying

Muscatine.
Journal: II reports Of baseball men
who have had an opportunity to see
the men in action are true, Frank
Boyle has picked up q couple of like
ly ball players in Newcomer and Has
brouck. Both were members of teams
in the Iowa State league last season
but have never had experience IN or
ganized baseball.
Newcomer is the property OF the
Omaha club, but would no doubt re-
vert to Manager Boyle's Muscatine
team next season, If he fails TO come
up to Western league standards IN
his initial trial.
Hasbrouck has agreed to terms ana

ing the coming spring.
D. H. sweet, Of Fayette, Ia, an
umpire and poultry fancier. has been
in the city for the past two days ana
he declares both men will make good
during the coming year.
Sweet was umpire in the Iowa
state league part Of last season
afterward joined the staff of the In
ternational league. He saw Has
brouck in action with the Fort Dodge
team and as Newcomer Is an Upper
Iowa university student he has had
plenty of opportunity TO see New
comer's work.
Both are Stars.
Mr.. Sweet is confident both men
will make good and predicts that
Newcomer, at least viii not remain

Signs New Men.
Manager Boyle has re-purchased
two of Muscatine's former stars from
the Manistee, Mich, club. Hub"
Hart, rated as one of the best catch
ers in the Central association, and
wild Bill'' Case, pitcher, have been
added to Mr.. BoyIe's string and will
probably be regulars during the COM
ing season.
The two players were sold to the
Michigan club near the close Of the
season in 1912 and aided materially
in winning the pennant for Manistee.
That President j. 8. Sterneman will
not again head the Muscatine base
ball situation, is the positive state
ment made by him today.
Ill health is advanced by him as a
reason for his refusal of the presi-
dency, adding that the duties Incl
dent to the Office would prove too
much of task for him during the
coming baseball year. Mr.. Sterne-
man headed the Muskies throughout
the 1912 season and, principally due
to his excellent management. of the
finances, the local club finished the
season with practically no appreciate
loss. He has always been one of the
most liberal patrons of the game In
this city and has been potent factor
in local baseball circles since Musca-
tine was admitted into the Central
Association.

the latter remarked:

the doctor.
"Oh, no, it isn't; he has been ex-

that new tenant might move in. Hav-
ing failed 10 move his belongings, it is

move the goods.
In the testimony of DR.. Fales it was
alleged that part of his furnishings were

dental supplies. etc. had been thrown on
a dump. There We're so many articles
