Ned Egan Cleans up Nice
Sum While Managing the
Burlington Baseball Team,

Tho following sketch OF Ned Hgan
published by the Burlington Hawk
Eye, tells OF his financial success
while managing the ball team at Bur
lington. It will be of interest to Keo
kul1 people because Egan managed
the Keokuk ball team for the season
of 1905. If he found any rich pick
lngs here, he never mentioned It,
Ned Egan, Central association man
niger, and for several seasons leader
of the Burlington baseball team, is
now among the men in the limelight,
telling his experience on the diamond.
and. in his case, In the bush leagues.
He has held out in the minors for
about twenty years. In an Interview
with Ed Smith, sporting editor of the
Chicago Evening American, Egan tells
something of his life in baseball, and
the first article in that paper deals
with the season he came to Burling-
ton with 5000 and left with $4,000.
The first article, as told to Ed Smith,
by Ned Egan, is as follows:
1T happened in a game at Mason
City, Ia, one day couple of months
ago, Danny OLeary, vell-known
minor league manager, was handling
gang of nondescripts in the Cen
trail association. This, by the way,
is not the veteran O'Leary who has
been around Chicago for good
many years.
II had the Muscatine team at the
time and we were visitors at Mason
City.
"The game was close and exciting,
but in the ninth inning we had them
tally to the good. Going into their
half they needed one run to tie and
two to win. The situation finally
came to where there were two out
and man on first base. The next
fellow up hit a sharp single to right,
in between the fielders. The fellow
en- first had a good start and made
third without even drawing a throw
to catch him.
Tries to Take Too Much; Caught at
Home.
'But he wasn't satisfied with that.
OLeary was coaching at third and
signaled for him to pull up at that
bag. But the runner had his head
down, tore past third and made for
the plate like an express train. He
pulled a tremendous slide, but was
caught easily, the ball being there at
least twenty feet ahead of him. Nat
urally, that made the third out and
settled the game in our favor
OIeary was, frothing with rage at
this foolish display of bone base
running that even Ty Cobb couldn't
have got away with. He walked over
to his young player, who was brush
ing the dirt off his clotes, and
steadying his voice as much as his
feeling would permit, said quietly:
Young man, let me call your at
tention to something that perhaps
you didn't notice. When you made
that slide into the plate your brain
hadn't reached third base

than any l can think of to illustrate

league managers have to deal with |
In attempting to give the bush league
fans fair article of play on the |
baseball field. 1t serves to illustrate, |
too, why most minor league managers
develop a pretty keen sense of humor
to say nothing Of deep tendency to-
ward sarcasm.
At times it is enough to drive a
manager mad, but if he has a sense
of humor he can get a world of fun /

WASHIN NGTON, oct. 10.-Few dis
