NBwBURY Vt, May II, 1894.
Editor Of OpiniO1l-l was much interest.
ed ID the Bradford local referring to the
ball game that was to have been played in
Newbury on ArbOr day. 1 am obliged to
take exceptions to the statements that the
Newbury boys were "afraid" and that
Hawley and Hall are doing "battery" work |
for Bradford.
1t seems to me that the Bradford boys |
were afraid to play their olDn team and |
therefore sent out of town for three PLAYERS
instead of the one they agreed to get; name |
iy John WOrthen.
AS to Hawley and Hall being regular |
players on their team, Hawley has PLAYED |
with them four times not in succession and |
Hall has played with them once
My source of information is pretty good |
as made the preliminary arrangements |
myself and think there was excuse for the |
underhanded way in which the agreements |
were carried out.
Any time the Bradford base ball team
wishes to play they will find the NetCburu
boys ready to meet them In Bradford OF
