MUSCATINE, Ia, Oct. 2-It's won
derful what difference few months
will make In a mans point OF view
and this is certainly demonstrated in
a most interesting announcement
made by the Marshalltown Times-Re-
publican by the Ansons' reserve list.
Musky fans will remember, chow
could they forget IT'D that certain
Frank Richards, manager OF Kewanee
kicked the Muskies out OF pennant
in 1913 by protesting two games won
by the locals from the Richardson
ians when Harry Ohland was playing
with Boyle's men. To Lizzie's mind,
it was horrible offense to have a
man playing on the team who was
not the outright property OF the club
and the fact that Ohland was here on
an optional agreement didn't matter.
That was in 1913. In 1914-gracious
what a difference! One notes by the
reserve list published in the Mar
ehalltown Times-Republican that "Os-
tendorf and Burgwald were not the
property OF the local club, and Sears
was here on an optional sale, the
right Of purchase not having been
exercised by the local club. Thus it
will be seen that Muscatine Is not the
only town that pulled stunts Of this
kind and 1t will also be seen that Liz
zie occasionally oversteps the mark
himself.
The Reserve List.
The reserve list Of the Ansons also
show that Sam Foster, Wahoo Sam
OF the Big Stick, was slipped his re-
lease. The story follows:
Marshalltown Times Republican:
The reserve list of players forwarded
by Manager Frank Richards of the
Ansons, to President M. e. Justice,
for the season Of 1915, contains the
names of fourteen men, and four play
ers who finished the season In this
city are not included on the list. The
reservation of these players does not
mean that all will report, or will be
members of the 1915 team, but they
are an Arson reserve list, and can
not play in organized ranks until they
have secured their release from the
local club. The list follows:
j. w. Richardson, Karl Maui,
Frank Harter, Guy Beard. c. Stod-
ola. Oscar Beard, John Sugre, II.
Delaney, R. c. Harvey, Roy Seibert,
Frank jude, R. Reeves and Frank
Richards.
The four players of this years
team not appearing on the list are
Ostendorf, Burgwald, Sears and Fos-
ter. Ostendorf and Burgwald were
not the property of the local club,
and Sears was here on an optional
sale, the right Of purchase not having
been exercised by the local club. Eos
ter is released.
Guy Beard, appearing on the re-
serve list was member Of the 1913
Kewanee team, and is still the prop.
erty of Marshalltown, having been
turned over to this club when the
Kewanee franchise was taken over.
He gave up baseball the past year to
enter business, but there is reason to
believe that he will return to the
game next season. He was one OF
the most dependable pitchers on the
Kewanee staff. Oscar Beard. a cousin
Of Guy. Is a catcher, who was signed
by Manager Richards last year, but
who failed to report He may join
the Ansons next year. In case his
cousin decides to re-enter the game.
