me Warren football teams mem-
Lers and Trends were agitated about
reports printed IN Ches,er papers by
the Upland Clubs supporters charging
the Wilmington team with doing 4hs
dodge act and trying to evade a game
with Upland A. A., the strong football
team CI North Chester.
The story that aroused the Whining
ton boys ire appeared in the form of an
interview with Manager l.. 7. Greaves,
as follows:
Il made the Warren an offer Of $50
to come 10 Chester, and Upland would
give them a return game at the same
figures on a date to be selectd by the
Warren. The Wllmingtonians declined
the offer and refused TO arrange dates.
They evidently fear Upiands superior
ability, and are afraid to so up against
team that knows the game.
To this Manager Selak replied thus:
Il have endeavored ever since the
season opened to arrange a game with
the Upland team Every effort failed
so far. Whilst it is true that the man
ager of the Upland team was in Will
mington and offered the guarantee us
stated, he does not give all the facts.
They insist that we pay the first game
in Upland, which l am satisfied to do,
but as an evidence of good faith / de-
manded that forfeit for a return game
be posted. / agreed 10 put up $50 for
felt, that we would give them return
game if they played here first, and ask
ed the same Of them If they wanted the
| first game in Chester. This the mana
ger OF the Upland team refused to do
Il will agree to any fair proposition
and would be pleased to have game
with Upland, but l don't propose tC
knowingly take the worst end OF q
business deal in which the Warren
would be the star attraction. We have
the same trouble with the West Ches'
ter team. They make all manner o.
/ boasts as to their superior ability, bu
won't accept any fair proposition for
series Of games"
Yesterday. however, the manager
got together and arranged two games
i one to be played at Chester next Sat
/ urday. and the other. the return game
to be played in this city. at Front an'
Union streets, on November 49,. 1t j
expected that large following of WI
mingtOn sports will go up to Cheste
on Saturday to save Warren from los
ing it's first game Of the season.
