Dear Mr. Editor: ~ ]. q
lszIfgou viii Kindly allow me spare In
your valuable Paper I will endeaynr
. to reply to those articles of -sIaEIe.''
iIHHshirley" and the "ShlrIeyItr.P e
guess SlaEle comes first. Slasie.
we DO not know who you are but sup
pose you are some relation to Little
Harry" who plays short for Fairmont
and no doubt you're there with the
goods. ~ = J. =
Now rs to some Of your statements.
Slagle So sou have atIlast found out
the req SON why Norwood mas won 1;
games ont OF II that they have played
this season. II is because they are lhi-
ways playing n bunch Of kids" frprnl
the First ward,s4 Say. slagle has cn-
tawbl ever had the honor OF defeat
ing the independents" or the MO
nnnsahcla Club teams OF the Fi:s:
ward? e !
expect the .AE. C.'s" would put tac
"wopgle bug on cata%ba proper.
Now. SlaGlc, / stated In my previous
article that Norwood and Hoult had
two separate teams. The Norwood
Farmers under the leadership. of Fred
steele and the Lishtweights from
HnuIt, n second team. under the man
aErrshin of "Bul" Huffman: =.
So why do you throw the hook into
lis beca use Norwood got beat? nc:
knowledge root n little for the Farnl-
err. hut that Is our own affair and l
don't think, Slugle. YOU should bother
yourself about other peoples business.
Now. slaglc. there Is one thing
cannot understand and that is this.
Why didn't you claim that You defeat
cd The New York Giants or the Pitts
burg Pirates '"-'-'-' :, = -' ., - : :
1t would justEhaya been as easy!tp
have made itGrbfE one.
Because there.halpenFedF to be two
EIoult players in Nnrwootl's line UP
you claimed it was the Hnhlt team 1r
| rather the Giants from lfnnit.
If ION must haYe 1t why you can call
the Norwood team the Giants or AM
other names you wish, but will give
you ull TO understand that the Giants
from Hrult Is Il ,senrate and entirely
,lstInct team from The Farmers from
Norwood.
AL rr,I- ,T,=1r-, tE1 nd In
beating the ltpatana FL team. We'll.
that's goni-
Bull Hufrman's 2d team has been
trying to arrange, game with theta
but we were told that they had brokG:i
up. suppose your left fielder got their
only ball again. ,...5 ,.. 49,.
Why. Slaglc. the Farmers beat tho
Montana LIST team ii to Is on the Mol
wool grounds am! were defeated in
Is Inning game nj, Montana TO G.
So the Farmers are awful weak bat.
tcrs arc they? VIGIL, they piled up Is
runs against Montana anal Is nsainat
Samarin.
or course anyone can gather VI =
bunch of players thrh never played to-
gethcr before and of course they cam
not do much, and l think slaEle th9t
You are too much OF gentleman to
deny this statement, that Cntawha dill
not play the regular Farmers.
Now. IL sou wish the Farmers To
give ynu the return game why please
write TO Fred steele. Route No. .. lie
Is the manager of the Farmers or the
Norwood Giants rs ynlt call them.
heard Steele remark the other day
that he wished Dent Harris had pitch
ctL That game Instead OF Tommy Haun.
say do you remember how long he
lasted in the game he pitched for MIR
ray? Oh. the Ftirmers batted him on:
of the box in the I'd inning And say.
who made thntit"onlY hit that was
made Off Tom Haun that day? We
happen to llnvc n score card of the
game and We wish to see how bad yolI
are of. tlaf go
And you acknowledge that Hess Is
good player. VOL. he Is from Honlt.
so 1t liz wonder ihnt he can plny
ball. will also stnte TINT he will be
the captain of tho II1ult Giants shoull
Caiawhn ever be so unlucky rs To
come UP against them.
or course We would have bet the
ice cream on Norwood hut We coull
not find any takers ',

llava rs get, to see amy back stops
from down the. river towns that rnns
anything on him. Why SlaElc ! nave
