Right on top Of the announcement
THAT P. T. Powers and Billy Murray
were after the Boston National League
club comes the announcement that a
Boston banker, James J. Phelan, had
purchased the Doves for New York
capitalists. 1t looks as though Powers
and Murray were successful In the
deal and that Powers is ready to step
out Of the Eastern League presidency
after all. 1t was probably at his sug-
gestion that Barrow has announced
himself Is a candidate. W prob

plain to you as clearly as possible the
sentiment of the club in regard to an
indoor meet to be held Friday at Hill
side Park. This meet will be held under
the auspices of the Essex County a a.
and the entire proceeds will be given TO
the fire fund. Tho sentiment of the
club was to divide the proceeds II an
amicable agreement with you could not
be reached. But as a sporting SUD
scription is being conducted and as the
proceeds from both your paper n
that are for the n cause, we DECIDED
to give the entire fund to the sporting
fund. You know the old saying. Those
that are not with III are agin u.s. ana
we do not wish you to feel in any way
sighted, for the boys, one and all, cor
daily appreciate the aid given to them
by you and your paper.
Knowing o to be a sportsman at
heart and in every act, and not alone
when your paper is the beneficiary, we
are sure you will take the proper at
titude and not feel as If the club
thought the fund could be given to bet
ter hands than yours.
We do not believe anyone more cap

the support from you in this venture at
your disposal. Sincerely yours.
