PEERLESS CAPTAINS CARD.
ut was with mingled feeling of con
tempt and disgust that I read the ar
ticlc written Ivy DR.. II. Il. Carter and
published in last Fridays Democrat
When bowling desccnds TO such low
level, that persons resort TO such of
fensiyely abusive articles as that,
think the game has commenced to see
its decline. DR.. Carter uses language
that can not be termed gentlemanly.
1t is coarse, brutal and insolent and
shows very poor manners. The Peer
less club is composed of gentlemen as
well as bowlers IT stands ready and
willing to answer all questions person
ally, or through the columns of news
paper, but the members refuse TO pay
attention to such a slanderous article
as that written by DR., Carter.
