Schedule Is Satisfactory.
The schedule IS considered very sat
isfactory from the standpoint Of the
fan. in that long periods Of play a,
home are eliminated. and the games so
arranged as to make trips away from
home as brief as possible.
a schedule Of sixty-fve home games
makes Il imperative that each club
meet FIVE opposing teams nine times,
and TWO opposing teams ten times dur
ing the season. BY this arrangem ent
the Ansons will meet Muscatine and
Keokuk. with whom they have holiday
games. ten times at home.
Likewise the Ansons will play ten
games IN Ottumwa, where they have
holiday game, and at Keokuk, where
double-header is scheduled.
Museatine Files Protest.
The Muscatine baseball mana gem emit
has filed protest with President Jus
tice against the schedule. Objection
IS taken to the long series OF games ir
succession at home. In several in
stances the Muskies play twelve games
in succession at home. Objection Is
also made 70 finishing the season away
from home. The team was compelled
20 open on the home grounds and close
on foreign territory last year, and Il
is alleged that this arrangement works
to the disadvantage Of the team in its
I fight for position in the closing days
Of the season. Muscatine Is again
scheduled to finish away from home
and furthermore has but few games
! in the last two weeks of the season OF
/ the home field.
