BOYLE TELLS HIS
PLANS FOR 1915
Training Season Here VIII BE
Short-Team to be Picked
When Season is

OFFER FOR PLAYERS
Indian Manager offered $500 for
TWO Players Which Cost Him
Less Than $3.50, He
Says.
OFFER FOR PLAYERS

When the baseball season opens in
this league this spring will have
my team picked said Manager Frank
Boyle to representative OF The Gate
City at the Waterloo meeting yester-
day. "At Muscatine last season l
made but three changes in my lineup
after I had picked my team. and ex-
pect to do the same thing at Keokuk
this year
Asked about the start of the train
ing season, Boyle said he would have
the men report here He stated, how
ever, that the training season at Keo-
kuk would be short, one I'VE can
get ready for the opening Just as well
with a short training season and it
will save the club good deal of mon
ey.'' he said
Z
Boyle offered $500 for swick.
Boyle cut loose with the informa-
ton that he had just received an offer
Of $500 for Swick, one Of the men
secured from the Cadillac club OF the
Michigan State league. Tie offer
came from the Columbia club Of the
South Carolina league. He also has
received another bid of $500 for
Eggleston. Swick, Eggleston and
Baum cost the local manager but
$3.50 and they were three Of the best
men in their league last season. Boyle
was able to grab them at this price
on account of the fact that nearly
all the clubs in this league finished
the season badly in debt and there is
much doubt about the league continu-
ing In existence.
Boyle has number OF other young
sters lined up and expects to sign
them within the next week. He said
he would send out contracts to the
old men on this club last summer,
within the next couple of weeks.
Few Old Men to Return.
Present indications are that there
will be few old men back on the In
dian roster when the baseball lid is
hoisted this spring. None OF last
seasons outfielders Dali, Wetzel, and
Lund, viii DO returned. Rains, who
at the close of the season here last
year was holding down first, will also
be discarded. Addington is another
who will not be rendered contract
Not man on last years pitching staff
will be back this year. Gifin, Sweet.
and MCGEE appear to be the only ones
who viii be given a chance to sign
with Boyle and none of these three
are sure TO play here next season.

Changes Made in Circuit of
league at Annual Meeting :
Held at Waterloo
Yesterday.
az -g-f I
JUSTICE is REELECTED
Local Man Again Honored by
Unanimous Reelection to
Presidency-Sport Writ
ers Meet.

At the annual meeting OF the Cen
trail association directors at Waterloo
yesterday Me- Justicts was reelected
president and Mason City was voted
a conditional franchise. When Mason
City presented its request for fran
cIlise. Clinton representatives announ-
ced their failure to arouse enthusiasm
! among the fans of that city and that
unless conditions were changed Inn
mediately, that city would surrender
its franchise Mason City was then
advised that franchise would be
granted, provided an eighth city was
secured The directors feel certain
that Clinton will not permit the city
to drop out, and for this reason the
representatives were given ten days
TING in which to give definite an
swer to the league. Mason City dele
gates agreed TO accept the franchise
under those conditions.
NJ. w. Purcell and Bert Hougn We're
present from Clinton and told OF con-
ditions in that city. They said that
money was not the stumbling block,
but that men TO act as officers OF an
association and go out and get the
money was the big problem. Mr.. Pur-
cell declared he had done this work
for several seasons, but could not
handle the work again this year. He
has made many efforts to secure men
in Clinton to do the work, but had
been unsuccessful 1t will now be up
to the Clinton fans to get busy or
drop out of the league.
Galesburg was not represented and
its failure to post a 5000 guarantee.
together with sClinton's failure, threw
two franchises onto the league. An
effort was made to secure action on
the so-called four-veteran rule but
the majority ruled against any change
from the rule adopted at the Clinton
meeting Marshalltown desired to
have the rule amended, so that clubs
could carry four players who have
had not less than sixty Gays expert
fence in higher class leagues, in
stead Of thirty days. This was also
voted down. There was some effort
made to increase the player limit, but
no action was taken, and the limit

Eaan Turned Down.

! Ned Egan, former manager OF the
Galesburg club, but now with Musca
tine, asked for an explanation OF the
intention of the directors when they
voted him $1,000 at the Clinton meet
ing. Mr.. Egan understood, he said,
that he was to receive 81 900 in add
ton to the payment of salaries to
his ball players while he was at OF
| tumwa. This amounted to about 1925.
President Justice replied that the
league intended to give Mr.. Egan but
$1,000 and that any salaries paid ball
players by Egan when Ottumwa fail
ed to furnish the money, was mat
ter for Mr.. Egan to settle with OF
tumwa Some little discussion was
INDUCED in between Thos. Hayden
and Freq c. Overton of Keokuk, re1a-
tive to Mr.. Hayden's participation in
paying the money voted Mr.. Egan.
Mr. Hayden understood he was to pay
his share OF but $500 while the direc-
tors maintained he should pay an
equal share with the other cities. A
vote was taken on this question and
resulted in levying the full assess
ment against the Burlington club.
The various delegates indicated a
desire to sidestep the proposition of
classifying ball players. relative to
eligibility. President Justice brought
up the matter. But no action was
taken. 1t was proposed by the presi-
dent that the directors go over the
list OF reserved players and deter
mine upon which ones will come I'M
der the veteran" classification. He
put the question to the directors. but
no one indicated a desire to take up
the work at this time.
Just before the close of the meet
ing, the sports writers requested they
Ia given the right to recommend one
of their members for chief statisti-
clan. The matter of a statistician
was brought UP at the meeting Of the
writer's and it was decided to recon-
mend A. E. Johnson, sports editor Of
the Waterloo Times-Tribune. for the
position The request was placed be-
fore the members OF the Central as

appointment of Nj. johnson be made

are but two countries among the civil

do this. During the past year bills to
restore Bible reading il public schools
