was interested and important principles were at

the struggle Of the w0rkngmen to obtain place and
power for their better protection, will undoubtedly
create considerable excitement. The leaders Of the

fully alive to the importance Of rolling up such

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUpLIcAN-SIR I
would thank you to correct an erroneous
statement which appeared In your local col
umus this morning under the caption Of
''Base Ball-Nationals vs.. 0lympics,"
wherein am represented as having stated
sat the Kirkwood house on Monday eve
ming" that we were satisfied that the Nation
ais could outplay us with the nine which
they presented on Monday.
This statement Is Incorrect In the follow
ing particulars; First. was not at the Kirk
wood house on Monday evening. Second.
never stated, at the Kirkwood house or else.
phsrs, that either the Olympic club, the nine
could outplay MS with the nine (which they
presented on Monday" neither have heard
any member Of tho club express such an
opinion.
As regards the statement that "tho execu-
tive committee Of the National club have
waited upon the Olymplcs and requested
them to play another series Of home and
home games. which request was denied" I
am informed by member Of our board Of
directors that neither the board nor either Of
It's members has been waited upon by such
committee; consequently such request has
not been declined. regret that your 70.
porter should have been mlsinformed 10 this
matter, as think the question OF playing
another series has not been entertained by
either club. 1t is not customary for clubs TO
play more than one series In season. Our
clubs have played two, and l agree With the
opinion expressed BY old BALL players (among
them members Of the National ninc) that
four successive victories for the Olympics
ought to settle the question so far as this
season Is concerned.
Very respectfully, DAVID FoRcE,
Captain Olympic Nine.
We print the above for the reason that
the REPUBLICAN never desires to do injus.
ticc to any person or any organization. The
statement made yesterday was obtained
from source deemed perfectly reliable. II
was further stated that the language at
tributed to Mr.. Force was made In the pres
ence of twenty witnesses. Tho misundcr
standing Is unfort unate.
