Titanic Tom Cools Down After
Visit of President Justice
at Burlington Friday
Afternoon.
BOYLE IS SATISFIED
Manager of Indians Points
Out How Four Veteran
Rule Will Work
Hardship.

When Titanic Tom Hayden, still OF
ticiaiIy manager of the Burlington
baseball club, left Burlington for ST.
Louis Friday night he had gotten over
his mad spell to considerable ex-
tent His relations with the Central
association at the present time are
the same they have been for these
many years.
The pompous pilot of the Pathfind-
ers clustered all around and over Bur
lington for two days before, he came
to himself. He didn't merely insinu-
ate that the Federal leaguers were
not the only outlaws in baseball. he
I came right out with the announce
ment and declaration that never in
his riotous existence had he seen or
heard of such robbers and thieves,
such bold, bad, and daring hold-up
men as the directors of the Central
4. association
Il 1t is current gossip that Hayden
would fight longer for a nickel than
most men would for their right eye.
leIt is hard to imagine, then, that he
would give up the fight 50 readily
when 500 is involved. Don't kid your
self into believing he has. On leav-
ing Burlington he announced that he
intended to reee-turn He probably
will take the matter to The Hague
peace conference If 1t isn't decided in
his favor by the time 1t reaches the
highest court In these United States.
Euan Also Disappointed,
Hayden wasn't the only man the
league directors disappointed at their
Waterloo meeting. Ned Egan's claim
for some 1925 against the league was
also voted down. According to a Mus
catine paper, Ned expects to take his
claim before the national board for
settlement. Egan was handed 81 900 on
silver platter by the other clubs In
the league when he took charge of the
Ottumwa Orphans last summer True
1t is, he didn't clean up any fortune
for the season, but as Hayden, him
self. argued at the meeting, Ned went
into the deal with his eyes wide open
and he took the chance that every
man in baseball has to take.
That Four-Veteran Rule
The much rumored opposition to the
sour-veteran rule. adopted at the CALI
ed Burlington meeting. failed to de-
veiop when the directors got together
at Waterloo Only two cities, Water
loo and Marshalltown, advocated a
change and neither of these two
towns showed any great concern IN
the rule.
Frank Boyle. manager Of the In
dians. stated to the writer at Water
loo. that it made little difference to
him whether or not the rule was
changed. Boyle pointed out, however,
that the rule will work hardship on
the managers after the season opens.
Let a club strike slump in the
middle of the season." said BOYLE.

to the Federal charge. Hermann
traced the past and present life Of
into great detail in explanation OF
the much mooted reserve and vari-
GUS other clauses Of various players
contracts. He insisted that base
ball players in the American and Ma
tfonal leagues, are not and never
were and never will be under the
domination and control OF the Ma
tional commission. He declared that
each player is under the control only
of the club which furnishes him with
money Cor meals and lodging in re-
turn for his efforts on the field or
bench Hermann, according to his
affidavit, will attempt to show in
court that players as class approve
of the reserve clause and the rest of
the contract as long as they get
their salaries regularly. The charge
that organized baseball officials had

Can't Take Chance on Rusher.

Can't Take Chance on Busher.
when this happens it's up to the
| manager to get hold Of one Or two
good new men to inject new life into
the club and make the team win some
games. In getting these men the man.
ager has got to know he is getting
good players. He can't pick up some
busher and take chance on his max
ing good. He must go to club in a
better league and pick out one or two
good men he can depend on to make
good from the jump
Now with this four-vetersn rule
how is manager going to get by in
case of this kind. He probably will
be using all the so-called veterans the
rule allows before his club hits into a
slump His club will either go on los
ing games with the same men Or else
he will be required to take chance
On some inexperienced busher."
Boyle said, however, that he did not
believe this rule would hurt his club.
He stated that he expected to have
his team picked when the season
opens and said he would make very
few If any changes during the entire
year. Last season, at Muscatine, he
added but three new men to his club
after the season opened, and he ex-
poets to make as good record here
during the coming season
Boyle's Opinion of Schedule.
The schedule for the Central asso-
citation during the coming season will
be much like that of last year. The
season will open on May 5 and will
close September 6. The schedule calls
for 40 games to be played on l2o
days. with double headers on the
opening Sundays at home and on the
three holidays The schedule will be
prepared within short time and sub
mitted to the directors
It was suggested by Manager Boyle
who attended the Waterloo meeting,
that the adoption or the schedule
should not be left to committee OF
three men, as was the case last year.
He pointed out that such committee
is bound to be prejudiced and that the
members of the committee will seek
to give their home clubs the best OF
it. Muscatine. last year, expressed
great dissatisfaction over the schedule
adopted and attributed to it in a large
measure the falling off in attendance
there. The club on one occasion was
compelled to play twelve straight
games on the road and on another
time to play twelve straight games on
the home grounds. Boyle thinks the
schedule should be voted on by all the
directors instead of a committee.

certain that he will be sent back to

that some of the big fellows will re-

is again possible that the Pirates ask

FORT DODGE SEEKS

Application for Admisslon to c. a
Received From Secretary of
Commercial Club by
Justice.
DEPENDS ON CLINTON
II Pilots Decide to Remain on the
Circuit, Fort Dodge Will Not
Be Given cons'dera-
ton.

Fort Dodge, encouraged by the sue
cess Of Mason City, has kicked
through at last with a formal petition
to be admitted to the Central associa-
ton. President Justice yesterday re-
ceived letter from the secretary Of
the Fort Dodge Commercial club in
which 1t was stated that the city in
question was very anxious to secure
a franchise In this league and asking
under what conditions they would be
admitted.
The admission OF Fort Dodge de-
ponds entirely, of course, on whether
or not the people Of Clinton wake UP
enough to hang on to the franchise
that Is now in their keeping. If Clin-
ton sticks there will be no franchise
vacant. If Clinton gives up the ghost
Fort Dodge very likely will be given
consideration.

The Fort Dodge Messenger has ths
following to say about the efforts OF
the fans Of that city to land berth
in the G. A.:
IN 1906 the Fort Dodge club IN
the old Iowa league was disbanded.
Fort Dodge's geographical location
then was against it because the other
clubs objected to paying the heavy
travelling expenses The attendance
at that time also was not fatterins.
but the Fort Dodge management,
under the direction OF Mayor John
F. Ford, sold enough players to NM
ish the organized ball here without
any debt. At that time the assccia-
tion owned the old Riverside base
ball park on the fats
Some OF the ardent fans are busy
today looking into the local situa-
ton to see whether or not the guar
antee fund and other money needed
can be raised here. It is considered
that Fort Dodge has now reached
such a population and has such train
connections that the attendance will
warrant putting in team II start

Several baseballers Well KNOWN

that Mason City will be nice soft

begun seeking the managerial berth
there, providing such an opening

last season, and Connie Collins. who
managed the Mason City semi-pro
team last season
Mason City is enthusiastic for base

last week. They have fine park and

of the organization will prove one OF
the Invest cities in the league.

however, that Clinton fans will take

SHEEP-Sheep and lamb receipts were
the lightest for a Monday in a long time,
but were fairly liberal for this season OF

than last week and 5000 short Of two
weeks ago, but more than twice as large
as for the same day last year.
Lambs were in good request from the
outset, and sold fairly readily at prices
that were generally lO0l6c higher than
Thursday. Values were uneven and were
quoted as anywhere from strong TO lOc
up In some cases TO as much as a quar-
ter higher in others. A top OF 800 was
made early and bulk sold upwards from
s75.
Trade showed a very fair degree OF
activity and a good clearance was made
long before noon. Prices were ali OF
