Mr.. Meyer accepts Mr.. Padila's
proposition, outlines his amendments
to the offer, and gives a discussion or
the merits and dement's of the re-
spective clubs in the following com

Dear Sir:-No doubt it is up to me
to make q statement or reply to the
seemingly heterogeneous offer which
Manager Dan Padilla oe the Grays
has presented to us in his challenge
of the Albuquerque WhitesoX, which
appeared in yesterday mornings edi-
ton of your paper.
He offers to play us, the White
sox, three games, the winning team
to receive 500, side bet, all the gate
receipts and grand stand receipts,
and the loser To have satisfaction OF
dissatisfaction Of paying all excuses
| connected with the series. / would
like to remind Manager Padilla that
he is not or will not play the old 40
team that his statement claim he.
has beaten five out of eight games,
of which, if am not greatly mis-
taken, four games were won by the
Grays, when such layers as myself
We're representing the team,and can
didly confess / couldn't make good en-
a school boy team. The last game
which the Grays won from the 40
aggregation, with these same ulayers,
he had imorted the great lett handler
Carlos De NeWmyer, from league tai
ent and then only won because the
40 bunch had been pushing trucks
all morning and were tired out.
But. wonder, does Mr.. Daniel re-
member our last game with his fast
bunch Of amateurs. A goodly num-
her of fans will vouch that the after
non was nearly rs damp and promis-
c%uously with moisture as last Sunday
at Traction park. As Dan really did
have one OF his famous grouches and
CRYING spells when he saw his team
go down in honorable defeat at the
| hands Of the opposition 40 team af-
ter they had just finished q fast
game with Belen. | wonder do the
Grays recall that time.
Now Mr.. Manager of the Grays the
above is only a little jolly, yet also n
reminder that Tho 40 Whitesox is
perhaps a little stronger aggregation
OF baseball talent than the 40 team,
which had the pleasure of meeting
YOU Heretofore. So think it over be-
for you reply to this and the little
offer which we would like to present
to you.
We agree emphatically to all the
very satisfactory conditions Of your
unique offer and challenge, and we
would also state that YOU make it
for the teams suits, shoes, %parapher-
MALTA and the ~redoubtable usual col
ored Sox; also car fare to and from
the park and perhaps al ice cream
cone on the way.
Hoping his viii be clear, precise
and acceptable to the opposition, for
| believe tina Mr.. Padilla's aggrega-
ton has shown considerably more OF
thai spirit than the city's new team
/ win rest until the working men and
home boys feel lucky and r%etaliate.
Just a word more. however, for the
benefit Of the ans as well as the
Gray Sox. The Albuquerque White
sox, in any event has tried hard
without the assistance of the business
end Of the city to further the cause
Of good baseball for the fans Of this
city. as Manager Padilla says his team
is composed of home working boys
Perhaps Albuquerque has a good
bunch of ball players in the so-called
working boy class. But so iar we
have been unable to sccure very many
bah players from the native sons.
Perhaps Mr.. Padilla has coppered
them all. SO to speak or nearly so, Yet
/ believe he has overlooked one or
two at least.
Cornish. a home boy and exceed
ingly popular too. is playing with the
Whitcsox and is playing almost
league ball at that position. Lembke
another home boy is also playing fast
ball with as. O'Laughlin also as
we'll as Jaffa are home boys and viii
no doubt be wearing the WhitesoN
uniform. The rest OF the bunch
though perhaps not Of native Albu-
IilfA li' HAi ~ NAAA t'fNf
they are all employed at the Santa
Fe freight depot of this city.
So far we have not been coma
PEELED to import talent for our team
but took the BOYS as they came to us
giving each and every fellow, who
claims baseball ability a good try
ont for any position he desired. We
do our best to hold good bali PLAYERS
placing them in various positions
which we can provide. and l can
candidlv say that the 40 WhitesoN
are also all working men and home
boys. However. 81 these boys cant
deliver tho baseball talent that we
expected to maintain. If % finances
allow. We intend to strengthen each
and every position on the team So
that the city will have first class
baseball and @ team d a they can
afford To support as well as Co he
proud OF.
We are out Tor O. good aggregation
and for the benefit Of good baseball
Tor the Albuquerque fans
Yours truly.
CHARLTON MEYER.
