TOWNE is RELEASED
Turseon Arrives in City Again to Take
Management of Fort Dodge Club
Dodger Management to Retrench.

Paul Turgeon, former manager OF
the Fort Dodge baseball team, arrived
in the city Monday evening and today
again took charge of the team, replac-
been released. Turgeon stated today
that the Fort Dodge management had
determined upon a policy Of retrench-
ment and had recalled him.
When Turgeon was recently relieved
Of the management of the club, be-
cause of the poor showing of the team,
Towne was signed as manager, and
Turgeon retained as first baseman.
Saturday, after the loss Of three
straight games at Waterloo Manager
Towne gave Turgeon his release, and
signed Hanson for first base. Towne
has made many changes in the team
which have tended to make it a much
stronger organization, but it is pre-
sumed that these changes have like
wise added to the cost of the team.
The Dodgers look like much
stronger team now than at any time
this season, and Towne is credited
with building up an organization
which might be capable Of pulling out
of the eighth position.
TONNES excuse for releasing Tur-
geon was that the former manager
was responsible for the loss Of two
of the three games played at Water
loo.
Manager Turgeon said today that
while some changes were contemplated
none would be made at once, except
that Catcher ellis would be succeeded
by Erloff formerly of the Dodgers,
on the return of the club to Fort
Dodge.
Towne left this morning for
Spencer, where he will spend the sum
rner on his farm near that place.

question, was presented to the Com
mission asking that the lot not be

try teams. A counter-petition signed
by 26 property owners and business
men in the city asked that the Com
mission reject the other petition and
use the lot for the purpose for which
t was purchased.
