Street cars rumbled past, automobiles

ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT

Viz Well That Cash Is Left Over
I'll At the End Of the
.sl ,... Season.

Much has been said about the sue
cess of the 1918 season in the Central
association while other leagues we're
breaking up or going broke. And TINS
was no idle talk. And the reason Is
that the league had so much money
1t the end Of the season after paying
all expenses that an extra $50 was re.
funded to every club on the clrcuit
Along with the $500 guarantee fund.
s This $50 has proven very accepta pie
"a some who have been in financial
straits. The Central association has
been run on an economic basis this
wear and has not suffered as result.
Where is any other league that mas
handed back cold cash to its members
at the end OF the season. over and
above all that has been paid In! as
one paper on the circuit remarked.
"this stamps President Justice as the
Ben johnson OF the minor leagues"
There will be no fall meeting OF the
directors OF the Central association
The next session will be held In Janu-
airy, but the meeting place has not
been selected as yet. Burlington, Wat
erloo and Cedar Rapids are possible
candidates. IL is probable that all
protests before the boards will be
settled at this meeting. The protest

At the coming meeting, the, four
man rule will be one Of the points of
conflict from present indications. 1t is
known that some Of the directors win
try to break II. but as far as Keokuk
is concerned, this city will stick by
the league legislation through thick
and thin. The local directors would
be in favor even of two man rule.
The feeling here Is that this leagle
is not place for big league stars, but
rather trying out grounds for big
league material.
