Burlington will retain a place In the
league and 1t is altogether probable
that meeting of the local board OF
directors will be called for the very
near future and some definite plan
announced for the Burlington base
ball future.
The retiring boss Of the Red Sox
will likely remain In Burlington a
few days to settle up some Of his af-
fairs here. He said this morning that
he was awaiting wire SO as to be
sure of what to do and would doubt
less be in this city until he received
the message. He declared there
would be no difficulty in finding a
berth for him and his players and
it was merely matter Of choosing
the one most desirable.

HAYDEN AFTER
PEORIA BERTH
Club, According to Report
from That City.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Jan. 15.-George
Reed, former manager of the Decatur
club. is in Peoria for conference
| with the executive committee of the
Peoria Amusement company Reed
comes to present his claim in. person.
following a formal application for
the managerial position with the 1915
Distillers.
President Tearney is very anxious
that Reed take the Rock Island man
agerial position. and Reed is fairly
well pleased with the situation there,
but George has long held desire to
pilot the Distillers and he realizes
that now would be his best chance
to gain the coveted berth.
Reed declares that the rank and
file of Rock Island fandom is DESTROYS
Of ThreeI league baseball, and that
he has no fear but that a winning
club will pay there this coming sea
son.
Reed Is but one of two or more
score OF baseball men who have APP
piled for the Peoria club berth. He
has had wealth OF experience and
has a reputation Of always placing
first class team in the field. He was
immensely popular with the fans, but
the inability of the Decatur manage
ment to continue the employment Of a
bench manager caused the failure Of
that club to offer him a renewed In
contract.
Peoria papers report that Joe Kill
liam, the three-time pennant winner at
Oshkosh. who was in Davenport Tues
day. is also an applican.e for the job
as Clarence Rowlands successor at
Peoria. dispatch also brings the
word that Tom Hayden of the Bur-
lington, Ia. c. A. club will seek the
Peoria berth. Hayden intended to be
in Davenport Tuesday had tn, league
meeting been held.

Justice Goes to Burlington.

| SuStlCS SOGS 10 0ufIiuSkou'
At the request of the directors OF
the Burlington association President
NJ E. Justice left this afternoon for
Burlington where he will endeavor
to help straighten out the situation
there. He stated this morning be-
fore leaving here that he was not at
liberty to say much about the case.
Asked ii he intended to persuade
Hayden to reconsider his decision to
leave the league, Justice said he
did not care whether Hayden left or
not.
The defense the directors of the
league gave in voting to assess Hay
in helping out Ned Egan when he
took over the Ottumwa franchise was
that they were giving the money to
Egan for the good of the league.
They argued that it was up to Hay
den to stand his share of this ex-
pense as much as it was for any 9TH
er club to pay share of the $1,000
given Egan.
The loss of hayden will in no way
injure the Central association, as
Burlington will remain in the cir
cult. An effort will be made at once
to secure another man to replace Hay
den at Burlington. AS the Rurling-
be necessary for the new Burlington
whoever is selected, to build
up an entirely new club.

HAYDEN SORE, :
QUITS CIRCUIT
Owner Of Burlington Baseball Club
is Angry over Action Of Di-
rectors at League
Meeting.
CALLS THEM ROBBERS
Trouble Starts When Hayden is
Assessed His Share of Support
Given by League to
Egan.


Tom Hayden and Central associa
ton base ball are from this time
forth strangers. Hayden will not be
in Burlington for the 1915 season,
and emphatically declares he will
never again have anything to do with
base ball under the Central associa
ton management and directorate.
The Burlington Gazette says:
1t took Big Tom but a very few
minutes to state the reason for his
action in leaving the Central associa-
ton. He declared in language that
would leave no doubt as to his sin
cerity that, although he had been
born and raised in Missouri among
the very haunts of Jesse James, Cole
Younger and others OF that Tx, he
had never had anything to do with
such a band of robbers as the direc-
tors OF the Central association.
They declared at the Clinton
meeting. when the none was voted
to Ned Egan, for him to use in TAX.
ing his club into Rock Island, that
would be exempt from payment" he
said. when Egan was chased out
of Rock Island and forced to go to
Ga1esburg, Justice was authorized to
make arrangements, and I am per-
fectly willing to pay my share of the
additional $500.

quiries We're made he gave the fore
going statement. He did not at first
say that he was not going to be in
Burlington and IT was not until he
was requested to make public who
the man would be who would have
the management OF this club that he
unlimbered his big guns of speech.

Questions Their RIGHTS.

What business have the directors
Of the Central association to exempt
me from making payment, and then
order me to pay the money? That's
what I'd like to know. What do they
think they are running? If the
Burlington club had cost me $4,000
last year do you think for one little
minute that the directors of the
league would reach into their pockets
and dig out the money to help me
pay the loss?
You know mighty we'll that they
wouldn't, and why it is then that l
am asked to pay for Ned Egan's

he took
