In reference to your correspond
Onts article IN tho last issue of the
Headlight regarding the match game
OF base ball between tho Tnzewell
and Richlands clubs played at .his
place on tho Sth inst. Perhaps u
moro discourteous and uucallcd for
inucndo never before appeared in
your columns and it is regretted
here that you should have given pub
hcation to such an es parte state
ment. Your correspondent speaks
of tho Tazewell team as ''scratch"
team and the Richlands team as com.
posed of gentlemen" The names
OF the young men composing the
Tazewell nine aye published and the
community in which they live is per
haps advised as to their social and
moral standing, your correspondent
to the contrary notwithstanding, and
your willingness to give him room.
Your correspondent distorts the ap.
plause of few young town boys
into bowling mob that prevented
the Richlands nine from securing n
victory which was practically theirs.
when In fact ut the ond of tho 9Th
inning tho scoro was 13 to z in favor
Of TaZowell and Is to II at tho end
of the 9Th, Your correspondent
states that "The Richlands team
rather than spend the night in Tazo-
we'll, wired for n special car and with
their friends returned at 8 O'Clock to
their homes" The fact is tclo-
grnphcd to have tho special train,
which was already coming to this
point from Tip Top, go on as far rs
Richlands. And this was done be
fare the game 'naS 2'iaycd. This
was done to accommodate those of
tho party who wished 10 got back
home before Sunday but number
of the club did stay over.
You would do me and the club n
favor to give tho name of your cor
respondent that his animus may be
understood or his source Of informa.
ton discovered. With this before
us we can determine as to wheter his
standing will warrant us in any fur
thcr notice or whether the matter
should be treated with contempt.
We are at loss to understand
why sucli insiuuations should be
made and are 10th to believe that any
ono against whom we played or his
friends could have been the author.
Yours respectfully,
j. TATE GREEvIR,
Mgr. Tazewell b. b. Team.
