among the stockholders OF the Louisville club
directors, Larry Cato said tonight: Il do not
know what the future plans of the directors are
they will be determined after MIR. Parsons
returns from New York-but I can say this
much, there is no intention to swindle anybody.
A few OF us have been carrying club right
along, while these small stockholders who are
doing the kicking have never put up a cent.
Their stock cost them S. to SlOa share. while
mine with the different assessments has cost
me $40 say it is fair that one or their shares
should lie of the same value as one of mine.

offered to sell it to him for $4,000 free of debt
up to January l. There are two sides to
this affair. and it will come out after the next

and we will forward our $1,000 guarantee to any
club in days notice. We think we have a
