RED SOX HOPE TO
CHANGE new RULE.
-----
Burlington to Father Movement -
Have New Player Limit Rule
Revised at
Meeting.
THINK OLD PLAN BEST
----
President k.leteh Of Burlington Club
and Others Are 10 Favor
Of Fourteen Man
Limit.
THINK OLD PLAN BEST

Burlington is fathering movement
to raise the player limit in the Cen
trail association to fourteen men and
up at the January meeting OF the
league to be held at Waterloo. de-
spite the fact that the present player
limit was adopted at the last meeting
of the league, since the 1914 season
closed. The Hawk-Eye Of yesterday
contained an argument In favor of
changing the limit, and states that
the president Of the Burlington club,
as well as Big Tom Hayden will fight
for the proposed revision.
Here's their story:
Referring to copy Of the minutes
OF the fourteenth annual meeting Of
the minor league baseball leagues at
Omaha. in November, 1t will be seen
that one Of the most important deals
as regards the Central association may
work great hardship. It is seen with
pleasure how we'll the Central assoc
citation was represented, as ten dele
gates were present and all of them
were men who know baseball and are
CAPABLE of talking baseball. Also as
President Justice was on the commit
tee for the revision of the constita-
ton, 1t can be seen that this league
was well advertised.
Hayden Tough. salary Reduction.
1t must have seemed strange to see
Tom Hayden fighting against any re-
duction In Class DIS salary limit for
Hayden, as we all know, has been a
stickler for the observation of the sal
airy limit, but from his actions, both at
this meeting and the late league meet
ing at Burlington, Tom seems to think
the salary limit and salaries can be
too cheap to get good results.
Only 13 Players.
II is also seen that on the player
limit that Glass DIS are restricted to
thirteen players including the manag-
er. Let's sea what this means to the
Central association. Most all OF the
clubs in this league are led by base
ball men that don't play. In fact they
are the managers. But you may say,
Lets get managers that do play.
Now when this is done, it will place
our league along with the other small
Class D leagues. The mere fact that
the Central association has these we'll
posted men with US is the reason we
stand so high today in baseball. Such
mon as BOYLE. Andrews, Egan, HOugh,
Hayden and others, are the backbone
of the high reputation the Central as
ISOLATION has attained. They are the
men that the scouts know they can de-
pend on in picking players from our
league, they are the men that know
where to get the players and what
ability players should show to play the
classy ball that is played in our
league.

KEOKUK DEFEATS
CARTHAGE 1920
Purple and White Five W End
straight Game Of sehe-~--
Here Last
Night.
IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN
Visiting Team Faster Than HsmiI.
ton and Game 10 More Closely
Contested Than
Last.

Eve defeated Carthage high 80 to 20,
In the second game OF the season on
The local schedule here last night.
The game was close and warmly con
tested but frequent Interruptions by
the referee made 1t drag considerably.
The local team put up better ex-
hibition than they did in their first
game week ago. but neither five dis
played much team work The visiting
forwards and center worked well to-
gether and It was these three men
that gave the Purple and White rep
resentatives their most trouble. Had
their guards given them the proper
backing, the result of the game might
have been different.
Not Much Fight Displayed.
Discounting team work, the one
most obvious fact concerning the play
OF the Keokuk lads is their seeming
lack Of spirit. This was apparent in
the game last night as well as in the
first game last week. The boys play
hard and there has never been time
Wu6u duyouS NOulQ soy luCy "CAS
laying down. but their play does
not show that pep and determination
that brings the spectators up on the
edges of their seats. The spirit may
develop as the boys gain more ex-
perience, confidence. and learn to
work together more effectively, but
the spirit certainly will have to be
developed if the Purple and White
carries away the honors in the games
with Burlington. Mt. Pleasant and the
other stronger teams they are to meet
this season.
Work Shows improvement
The Individual work Of the mem
bers of the team showed much i'm
provement last night. This especially
was noticeable In the work OF David
son, McQuid, HUDSON and Hancock.
Captain Meador played his usual
strong game at back guard.
In the second half OF the game
practically an entire team of second
string men were put on the floor. Car
rison. LeFaivre, Drummond and
Stricken gave a good account OF
themselves while they were playing.
but failed to hold the forwards Of the
visitors as closely as did the regular
men on the team.
