hilIman Not to Report.
! Work at the park is progressing sat
isfactorily and today the work OF re-
placing the fence about the diamond
was begun, with every indication that
the work would be completed De1ore
night. The diamond will be in conol-
| ton for practice work whcn the squad
arrives next week.
| One man under contract will not re-
port. He is Hillman, of the 1914 Medl-
cine Hat team, who has entered busl-
ness in California. 1t is not believed
4 that his loss will be felt, however, as
he was shortstop and second base
man, and the competition for these po-
sitions is so strong that 1t is doubtful
if he would have remained and ms
failure to report will save the CLUB
transportation from the coast.
Change in Schedule.
A change in the playing schedule has
been proposed by President Justice,
since it has been found that the sched-
ule recently adopted provides for six
ty-six games in the northern cities OF
the association, and but slXty-1ou1
games in the southern Cities.
The proposed change, as affecting
Marshalltown, would be to transfer one
game of the Keokuk series in this city
May 20, 80 and 81, to Burlington. The
same scheduled here on May 29 would
be cancelled, and game added to the
Burlington series Of May 26, 27 and %
it being played on May 20. The same
changes would be made thruout the
circuit, northern teams remaining II
southern cities for an extra game, thu
opening game Of the following serie:
at home being eliminated. It is likely
that the change will be approved b!
the clubs.
