last Sunday has always been known as
the bull-head nine. Two OF Brule's
men played with this club q couple OF
times, but that wouldn't give them any
right to style themselves as the Brule
nine, consequently it was not Brule
that abused Garland or refused to
play; as they never do either of that,
but it was the bull-head nine.
