Although Drohan outpitched Bixby

the game. Waterloo staged one In the

by Keokuk were swell plays. In the

TEAM TAKES A BIG DROP

The Gate City can announce on au-
thority today that the five games won
by Muscatine while Egan was alleged
to have been out as manager Of the
team, and protested by the Keokuk
and Burlington baseball associations,
have been thrown out by President
Justice.
These facts were continued In q
communication sent to the Muscatine
directors by the league president, but
they have refused to make any an
nouncement in Muscatine on the sub
ject.
The correct standings of the Gen.
trail association are contained In an
other column Of the sport page Of The
Gate City this evening. Five games
won by Muscatine have been thrown
out. as have two losses by Cedar Rap.
ids. two by Clinton and one by Wa
terloo. This makes considerable
change In the league standing and
gives Keokuk an unbeatable lead over
the Eganites. Nearly sixty points now
separate the two teams and even
though Keokuk should have the nine
games protested by Muscstine. thrown
out, the tribe would still be the lead
er by q nice margili.
Some time ago Egan startled the
league by resigning. The next day
the news dispatches from Muscatine
and Muscatine papers announced that
he had come to terms again. And
then for week he played flve veter-
ans IN lis lineup EgAn's defence
was that he wasn't reinstated tha
next day and that one of the I'VE was
acting as manager. This looked mighty
slim and lost weight altogether when
1t was found that he directed the
team on every day he was supposed
to have been an ex-manager.
