National baseball commission restores Keokuk to good standing
The National Dace ball commission in Cincinnati on August 13 restored Keokuk to good standing in the Central Association after the club paid 1758 to Player R A Madigan. James Vaughn charged Ray Caldwell of the New York Americans with failing to repay a 16 loan from spring 1912. Caldwell offered no defense after a petition copy was sent, and the commission ruled him ineligible to play unless the debt is settled with the New York club within five days of the finding.
