To the Editor of the National Republicans:
SIR-In regard to the meeting that was held by
the Alert Base Ball Club, at the residence Of Mr..
R. Davidge, Monday, August SOth. and the report
made by VIM. d. Kelley, Secretary thereof. his
Of the report, is enormously false. And I have
the honor to submit to you the following: The
Secretary in his report has diverted entirely from
the correct account of the minutes Of the meet
ing. Warran Dents resignation was presented
to the club and motion was made to lay IL on the
table, which was unanimously agreed too. He
goes on TO chastise Toliver for the game which he
played with the Mutusls, his resignation was
presented to the club, or otherwise sent by mail,
which Mr.. Dayidge was the recipient thereof.
At the regular meeting Of the club called for
the resignation, which, Mr.. Davidge said, Mr..
Toliyer had withdrawn, Of which the club was
the resignation before the next regular meeting
of the club, which he failed to do, and the club
should have taken action thereon. The Score
tary upbra1ds Toliver in this manner: He says
he Is better known by "Revolver Toliver," which
the report has no credence therein. II he was
knew him not to be q gentleman, why was he
voted into the club2 William Kelley knew that
Toliver's resignation was before the clab to take
an action thereon, the gentleman would not have
made this report had Toltyer remained in the
nine as an active member, on the other hand, he
upbraids him by calling him Revolver Toliver."
He is gentleman, and has been playing In the
club since the ensuing season, and 1t is utterly
impossible for Mr.. Kelley TO discard his gentle
I am respectfully yours truly,
Active member Of the Alerts.

The receipts Of -four at Washington and

yesterday afternoon on the Olympic grounds, be-
tween the Creighton and National Clubs Both

tedious throughout, each side playing very
poorly, coming far from their average game. The
ninth innings had begun when darkness put
stop to the game. The score at the end Of the
eighth inning stood eight to eight, therefore the
umpire decided 1t tie game.
