KEARNEY,. Nsb.,-July s1.-.To the Editor
of The, Bee, During, the last week have
noticed in your paper a few. casual COM
lnents on our recent base ball troubles and
each one Of .thAqs sasem TO convey, the Inn
preston, that thisa Sity Is a bad place for
! an umpire and that We are not true sports
: men. - u no. iapi .es as $780,.
F. You quote Umpire Nelson IN today'l
paper as stating that this trouble started
4 because our fans lost money on our ball
team. This lis very unjust and behoovea
only a man OF Mr., Nelson's caliber tc
make such statements. There is not 90
much betting going on as he would like
to have you believe. What money there
is placed on a game ia, done outside OF the
grounds and Is wagared merely. to display
4 little loyalty TO our home team Betting
is prohibited ON the grounds.
And further there Is not 4 hard loseS
among the bunch. have known OF money
being bet after the game was lost, even
money, just because we have confidence II
our manager and the team
Mr.. Nelson has never suffered any VIC
lence on the Kearney diamond nor has any
! other umpire, Mr.. Boswell, who umpirec
the game at Shelton on the Path. was struol
by spectator who lived in Shelton. Mr.
Murphy aid not strike Boswell. even after
that person called him o liar and had dare<
him to strike him,
: Kearnsy is IN America and there is M
. difference between the fans here and else
where. We don't believe in beating up al
umpire because he makes some rank de
cision, But when he makes rank de
! cision and then boasts OF 1t, he not onl,
deserves humping. but should be ban
ished from the game.
Mr.. Nelson still has the loyal support o
! Kearney fans because they believe he 4
J just. The first series OF games umpire'
: by Nelson were won mostly by outsid
: teams and yet the fans here declared Mel
son to be the best umpire working for tn
1 league. rFSs
desire to ask you on behalf Of our fan
here II the president OF the league has tn
right to suspend Mr. Murphy under thes
! circumstances as have set forth. All tn
q fans ask for In this city is square deal
! When you talk of degrading the game An
8 dragging II down, may ask you hoy
; much lower or dirtier sport could there b
than what we have to contend with at tn
I hands OF President sievers and what ap
Z pears 20 be frameup to keep Kearne
4 down to the bottom OF the list.
4 II we are 70 have a Nebraska Stat
: league, let It be headed by q man who's
reputation is clean and why not make tha
< man a president Of either Omaha or Lin
. coin. or some disinterested point Nigh
: suggest that this proposed new presiden
4 be some college professor or some on
: whose, vocation is not associated with
2 business that Is so subject to disreput,
4. Then we can have clean base ball playe
z by young men OF standing and we ca
z pick umpires from colleges instead OF fror
9 pool halls and grog shops. This woul
men absolutely clean base ball Very trul,
