Having noticed iu your paper that the
Dubois sheet that is running missing
letter contest IN its columns with "ln-
dustrial Souvenirs" as prizes has taken
exceptions 10 the article which they
published when Frank Bohren made 1t
famous cighty-yard run around It's left
end for IL touchdown. aud the quill
driving. braggaducio half back later
"kicking" for field goal and failing, is
certainly amusing.
Seems strange that wncn the el, n
trained Indian" gladiaiors went on the
field eight different times Ia seasons
schedule) and crunched canvas artnor
against canvas armor. twisted legs
around logs. and with their arms
clasped in bone-breaking grasps,
writhing. struggling bodies that could
not resist their deadly hugs. that they
are not the rightful champions Of that
section when no one crossed their line.
A number OF teams in this county. on
losing two games to another eleven,
were gridiron idols no more. and even
when the teams were booked for three
games with fine of si00 as II forfeit in
case neither team was on the field. the
victors Of the previous games would
leave the amount go by default
and line up against n stronger eleven.
For the Rcynoldsvilc Titans to again
go to Dubois and play their sixty-pound
team with courtesy TO the four-page
folder). would not be interesting to the
players, aud | am sure the towns en-
tbusiasts would not sit in the chilling
air for two hours courting colds,
rheumatism and pneumonia, as they
would II there was Il possible chance for
the Imperials 10 score.
For the first time since the infant,
now thirteen years old-and infant still
was launched, they look to another
town for superiority to lower the colors
OF the gladiators of the silk-mil town.
Heretofore IL would play II strong game
| Of bluff in all kinds Of sport and II neces-
sary devote almost the whole paper (?)
in misleading the public to think that
failed to score and Reynoldsville made
hundred and eleven.
| The first recollection / have of the
sporting editors "hot air" was when he
defeated Reynoldsville's crack polo
team in his (then) four-column circular,
when in reality they had the Dubois
push faded. He upheld an imaginary
score for couple Of years, and when
one of their goal tenders, just before
called upon to take his lasting sleep,
stated he couldn't peacefully pass out of
this world without a contradiction OF
what had been published regarding the
game, he left him to die as he would, at
the same time inhaling more hot air TO
write up the next defeat that was In
store for them on the ball field.
Having shelved Dubois, BroOkville
and Punxsutawney teams without being
scored against tits "oif-side play" for
him mentioning ST. Marys to retrieve
their losses. This team has shown very
poor form In comparison with the red
men, whose wigwam contains eig ht prize
scalps. The "Indians" cannot raise
too loud war cry and l believe the
government scouts, in place Of following
the western style-subduing them
would join merrily In the war dance OF
the bow and arrow tribe.
