70 fhc Editor of Sporting Times:
DEAR SIE-In relation 20 the published
statement OF Mr.. A. a. Zimmerman as to
his reasons for ~resigning from the New
JERSEY A. c., of Bayonue, n. j.. the latter
organization desires 70 state that Mr..
Zimmerman was alwas treated fairly by
the club. The Board Of Directors never
agreed to nav all nf Mr.. Zimmerman eX-
penses. Mr.. Zimmerman decided to make
the circuit last summer, anil did so, as
the Board thought, mt his own expense,
as the question Of his expenses never
came up IN any shape Whatever.
1t will be remembered that last II Mr..
Zimmerman and Others were suspended
by Chairman Davol for having received
their expenses. The cldb officials Mt once
came 10 Mr.. Z,mmerman's rescue and
stated to Mr.. DayOi th It the club never
paid Mr.. Z~hnmernian's expenses. 1t was
on the strength of such statements from
the trustees OF the club that Zimmerman
was reinstgted to the anat suf ranks. It
was then tlat Zimmerman's bill OF u
hundred and some odd dollars was pre-
| sented TO the trustees, aus as such an ex-
| penditure was not authorized the Board
at once refused to pay. Mr.. Zimmerman
did not sasm to MUD that much, and
| asked the Board to state at once what
| they proposed to do for hext year. ASthe
club could not afford TO send Mr.. Zim-
herman around the country, they de-
| cided TO so inform him. and let him re-
| sign and seek new quarters,
The members of the cluD and its officers
have the highest regard for Mr.. Zimmer-
man, aud trust that he will have a sue
| cessful season.
