Now, Dunn, if Windel and the
Standard is your spokesman, here is
your chance to ferret out those "sev-
eral business men" and give them ac-
tion on their money. II you or your
captain have not the time to spare
to hunt up the men with the money
and make the arrangements for the
game perhaps you could get Windel
to do it for you, having your club
him SO that we can recog-
nize his authority to proceed. In any
event, We are willing and anxious to
get on this game. We have heard
that you propose having a celebration
there on the Fourth. but we feel that
your people can afford to spare nine
men out of that celebration to come
down here and pack on $1,000 with
out hurting the effect of their eelebra-
ton, and more especially since, as
Windle and the Standard has II, II
would be such easy money for you.
We mean business in this matter and
have our money ready to cover either
your $500 forfeit or the whole $1,000
whenever you may post same with
the Lovelock Commercial company.
II you are not now captain and
manager of the Winnemueca club,
kindly turn this communication over
10 whoever may be in authority. You
may permit either the Silver State or
The Standard to publish the letter.
Let us get down 10 business and
make the game in compliance with |
he wishes of the several business men |
1f winnemucca mentioned in the
Standard, and let US as soon as pos
sible have a reply from some one
authorized to pledge your team and
70 enter into the above stipulated con-
.raet and bind you team and cut out
.hese sweeping and intangible ehal-
enges through the newspapers. that
cannot be run to earth. In other
words. let us have from you as soon
Is possible something authentic In
stead of newspaper squib with no au-
.borized name attached.
We trust that this game can De ar
-anged and await a reply from your
,lub. Yours Very Truly
