Justice Suprised at Waterloo Stand in Baseball Rule
Keokuk Iowa December 16 President Justice discussed the Central association four man rule limiting players from higher class baseball. He noted Waterloo's opposition to the rule, while Burlington directors had unanimously supported it. The Rockford club did not face a similar rule last year. Justice said the rule may be challenged as unconstitutional but remains a beneficial move for the league. Directors meet January 13 at Waterloo to decide on possible changes.
