President Albert L. johnson on Satur-
day evening officially denied that Kelly or
any other players had beentreleased. He
said the team, with the exception of Kelly,
had been playing good ball and the loss OF
at least three games last week was due to
Kelly's grotesque actions, which discon-
certed the rest Of the players and made
them Indifferent. Mr.. johnson said that
he had photographed and written to Kelly
that il he pitches another inning he will
be bounced forthwith, and what Mr..
johnson says he means. Better results
from the home team are expected this
week, and Mr.. johnson believes that by
the Fourth OF July the Allentown team
will have practically won the champion
ship.-Allentown Chronicle.
