ali games won since June Is. against
clubs under the salary limit On
juno IL salary list was forwarded
to President Justice and that list
shows the local club to be under the
limit Waterloo has complied with
every rule OF the game so far this
year and the fans OF the city will not
stand for repetition of last years
treatment Several OF the directors
are said TO be In favor of withdraw
ing from the league and disposing of
the local players If President JUS
tees faithful ally, is responsible for
the charges against the local club.
& His mouthpiece, the Burlington
Hawk-Eye, on Sunday announced that
Burlington was the only club within
the limit
And to this the Burlington Hawk
Eye responds with the following:
Newspapers about the league ought
not to pay any attention to what the
sports writer's of Waterloo say con-
corning league affairs. Garbling what
other newspapers say about Waterloo
in an attempt to prejudice the fans
there against those papers, only
makes the whole town ridiculous. The
Eaxk-Eye did not say the Pathfnders
was the only club within the limit
The only thing 1t said about Waterloo
was the following, which no one but =
jackass can make anything objection
able out OF:
THE work OF Waterloo is attractins
much attention of late From a posi-
ton at the tail end of the league i,
has lifted itself into a fight for sec
ond place. Manager Andrews has Sc
cured a lumber of new players and
has strengthened his team in a mos;
telling manner, so that II can hardly
be recognized as the one that played
around the circuit three weeks ago
There Is some complaint thai Man.
ager Andrews has exceeded the sal
airy limit In his endeavor 10 bring his
club up TO winning proportions. This
is enthusiastically denied by the fans
OF Waterloo and it only opens out op,
portunity for similar charges against
other teams. President Justice is
watching the matter closely. however,
and it is hardly thought the manag.
ers can slip anything over on him. Il
they do, ii will be because they have
the controlling power IN the meet
ings to overdue any motion to fine
alleged infractions of the salary
limit"
