When our estimable friend "W.
A. 50 in last weeks News Item re-
ferred to the ball game between
NOrdmOnt and SonestOwn, he suc-
ceeded nearly as well in explaining
the reason Nordmont was defeated
as he did in showing his own par
tisanship, misapprehension and ig-
nOrance. SonestOwn did not have a
''padded" team-bnt had she done
so, it would have been justifiable in
view of the fact that those pitted
against her comprised the pick of
two teams at Nordmont, that many
of the so called Nordmont players
are merely temporary workmen for
the summer, who have no more
right to vote at NOrdmont polls
than has the one man whose home
is i'm Picture Rocks, but who that
day played with Sonestown because
IA Sonestown man dropped out of the
game and somebody had to be found
to make ninth. And even grant
ing this man from the neighbOring
town, SonestOwn has as much right
to invite her friends from Picture
Rocks to participate as Nordmont
has to depend on man from Ber-
nice. Had the writ r been careful
as to his source of information he
would have seen that the Muncy
Valley boys spoken of have been a
part of the SonestOwn team for years
during their residence here and saw
no reason for resigning because their
father moved to Muncy Valley,
when the boys themselves spend
more time here than there, and one
holds his residence here. Add to
few facts the additional one that
Sonestown played three games that
day and Nordmont one. Also that
a Nordmont man lost $50 that day
because his home team failed to
win, and we have a pretty good con
clusion why the score was not great
er in favor of SOnestown, and like
wise why Nordmont feels SO sore
and shows it in so public manner.
