The following communication reach
ed the Democrat Office too late for pub
LEGATION last week, and so 1t is published
in this issue. This paper takes no sides
in discussions of this kind, and the fol.
lowing article is published at the earnest
request of the writer's.
NORWAY, Me-, July 6, 1908.
Editor Democrat.
DEAR SIR:-This open letter, which
we sincerely hope will be published in
your valued columns, is written in be-
half of several Norway fans-base- ball
cranks, in the true sense of the word.
In the last issue July 3rd) of the Nor
way Advertiser, there appeared state.
ment made by the Norway baseball
team. This article stated that "t the ma
jority" (note the majority of Norway
fans, were willing that South Paris
should have Mr.. Rich. To state what
the authors of that article did not dare
to say in plain English, 1--WE, the sup
porters of the team, did not want him"
That statement is false, and the above
mentioned fans say so. We only say in
support of our remarks, to look at the
loyal Norway rooters" who cheered
our "Old Dell Rich in his two games
last Saturday. We also call the atten-
ton of the Norway team to the cries of
derision and the choice pieces of sarcasm
that were hurled at them by the Nor
way fans, who witnessed their clean
sportsmanlike spirit on July 4th. Every
body on that field and stand, almost to a
man, were disguised at their "clean
playing" Does not this prove our re-
marks?
Another fact. Last 4th of July, Nor
way won both their games. Who pitched?
Why, Odel Rich! This year the clean
(note that adjective) Norway players
hire New England league pitcher of
renown, who 10 his greatness allows the
so-called weak batting South Paris team
to hit him up to the tune OF eight safe
hits, while Rich in the same game al
lowed those men OF valor and might,
only four. Who did the best work Do
we need to say? True, the game was
lost, but unlike the Norway team, the
South Paris boys are men enough to say,
cit was not Rich, but the bad support
we gave him that lost the game"
the writers of the statement we have al
ready mentioned, that Norway fans, and
a mighty big majority of them at that,
did want Rich on the local team /; but
now, IL after that dirty writeup and
your contemplate treatment of him in
several other ways, he does return and
play with you, we will brand him as an
"easy mark" We hope that before the
season is over you will have faced Old
Della" several times, and that smile will
change and the tears of regret and bit
terness that will be shed by your clean
sport lovers will remind you of the fact,
that with the majority your baseball
principles are not upheld by
A BUNCH OF NORWAY FANS.
