Ned Egan and the Muscatine fans
are pennant mad With the Muskles
and Ansons neck and neck for the lead
the coming series between the two
teams may so far to determine the re-
suit Boyles lads invade Eganville to-
morrow and the Muscatine populace is
so interested in the result that sus-
pension of business has been an
nounced. The town is to turn out en-
maSSe to help the home faVor!teS trim
the MarshalltOwn aspirants. Next week
the MuSkies invade Marshalltown, and
on these six games between the, Egan
and Boyle teams may hang the cham
pioEship of the Central Association.
Esan May File Protest.
1t had been hoped that the issue
might be settled on its merits, but
Eean now intimates that he will make
bid for the pennant thru the medium
of protests If he can not win it in open
combat. He has been investigating the
status of Paul Des Jardien, and comes
out in a statement in which he de-
clares the Marshalltown pitcher is still
the property of Cleveland. II MuSca-
tine fails to win on the diamond it Is
said protests will be entered against
the MarshalltoWn club for carrying a
"farmed player.
May Lead to Big Fight.
If Egan sees fit to carry out his
| threat, it is likely that a big fight will
| follow. Ecan has been allowed TO get
away with many violations of rules,
| which may come up for investigation
| should he determine to carry his case
| to the league authorities.
The MANAGEMENT oi the local team
| has been content to make its fight or
| the ball lot, and was not inclined II
| protest because OF Egan's irregular
methods However, should Egan enter
| any protest against any Marshalltown
| player the result will De a general pro
| test against the MuSkie3 on several
| counts.
AS far as the local club is concerned
| Des Jarden was purchased for $3Gr
and the cash paid. Cleveland has
| first claim on his services at the end
| of the season should the MANAGEMENT
sec fit to recall him. The Des Jardien
case is trivial compared to the Ellison
case at Muscatine, where the player
| has put in an entire season with the
| mirror league CLUB while the property
OF Detroit.
| Will Eeanism Prevail?
| More than one manager over the cir
cui; is asking how long Esanism is TO
prevail The Musky manager has had
things his own way so Ions tha. he can
no longer give and take. Last Year he
FOUND the veteran rule ideal as it did
not affect him and did hurt his rivals.
This year he upholds the rule until he
is caught violating its provisions and
then he appeals to the national COM
mission for decision finding it in
valid. His method of carrying an over
H plus of pitchers and backstops, by his
hiring one day, firing the next. and
rehiring the third" method, is a greater
crime on baseball rules, as it does not
only violate the agreements of the
i Central Association but those Of the
i national organization. q
