Fridays and Saturdays games,
the concensus of opinion seems
to be that the best team won. "
1t was the result of a few errors
on the part of Columbia and not
the high merit of Campbellsville,
and if the concensus of opinion
that the best team won is cor
rect, then said opinion ought to
allow and encourage a meeting
as proposed by Lebanon which
would give Columbia fair show
ing to demonstrate the opposite
and Campbellsville a chance to
prove its claims Of superiority.
The proposition made by Leba-
non to play for $500, each town
putting up 500, was accepted and
the money subscribed in Column
bia in w hours; Campbells-
vile failed to respond. If you
wish to accept, Columbia will
meet you any day on this PROPOSE.
ton, and measure powers again.
The truth is that Campbellsville
was fortunate in finding what
Columbia lost. 1t was the bene-
ficiary of Columbia's' errors and
that said it is all said. The de-
monstration in Campbellsville
on the arrival of the teams,
indicated that som ct h in g
beyond tion had
happened and its length,
breadth and intensity were in
keeping with the occasion, as
we see it. But i n justice to
both teams and their hackers
and admirers we feel safe in
saying that the unexpected hap
pened, that the result, out meas
ured the real winning merits of
the boys who now possess the
cup Of Joy. We reiterate our
statement of last week. The vic
tory belongs to the ball team and
not Campbellsville, while the de-
feat is that of Columbia's and
not the team. From the Enquir-
er's report, from its statement:
"But our boys got revenge and
it was sweet" clearly indicates
that more than the ordinary feel
ing existed and that The Enquir-
er also feels that Columbia, Of
all the teams, was the one to be
defeated. The rivalry between
the two teams has not and will
not warp nor prejudice our mind
against Campbellsville and we
dislike to see evidence in the En-
quirer of finger pointing at the
boys and people of this section.
We recognize the fact that we
are in the arms Of Campbellsville,
that W e contribute largely to
her prosperity and growth, a
condition not of our choosing,
but which has, for many years,
been loyal an d true. While
