The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-11-30
LOCAL FOOTBALL

These are busy days for the Sport ing Editor attempting to make an in terpretation of the many communica- tions sent to him sfrom the junior football eleyens about the city rela- tive to their ratings and the petty scraps among themselves which should be settled on the football field and not in the news columns. A few teams fighting it out. The commun- icatfons began showing them up with the result that all of sudden the clubs jumped up to 120 and 125 pounds. Starting this week the scrap is on be- tween the Tigers and Seasides over an alleged arranged game for last Sunday. The Seasides had their inn ing Monday evening; the Tigers came back with two screeches last evening and now the Seaside team as a whole is on deck with a few briefs this ev- ening. Wade through them. t'The Seaside football team is rather sore over the knock put in the Farmer yesterday by a certain member of the Tigers. We would not bother answer ing a mere knock, but last evenings s piece was rather strong, but what is more every word in 1t is untrue. Ev- cry: member of the Tiger Club was aware Of the fact that they were booked to play the Seasides Sunday at the Lumber Lot. The game was arranged with their manager. At the last moment they called 1t off being unwilling to play lat the Lumber Lot. The members of our team then con- scented to play ati the Circus grounds, they were broken up and would not play any more games this season. Then they hustled to the West End, arranged a game with the Edgewood Jrs. and played them Sunday It does appear that the Tigers want no of nI, ,r1fn
 The Tigers must be admired for their nerve in roasting us as they do. The stories emanating from the Tiger camp can be traced to one source from an ex-member of our team from the youth who made himself modestly hands a few bouquets to himself. The seasides admit that in losing Player Boyne, they parted with a star and a gentleman, but they did not lose the other. This other is very mouthy but otherwise harmless player
 Do the Tigers forget that they were beaten by the Columbia Stars 11-0 in 33 minutes of play. yet they say they have not lost a game this season.
 The Seasides have lost but one game, have won five and tied one. We challenged every team of our weight and played them as they came.''
 THE SEASIDE FOOTBALL TEAM
 Bridgeporters who attended the An nex-Thunderbo1t game Sunday are not the only ones of the belief that the result of the game was brought about by the unfair decisions of the referee and head linesman. There is at least one New Havener who thinks in the same way. His communication to the Farmer. though brief, clearly states his position. He may be a dis gusted one, perhaps 8 member of the Washington G1ee team who rooted for the local lads during the fray. Here goes anyway-I am New Haven man and wish to state that the Thur derbolt team was robbed out of vic- tory Sunday. If the Annex team dis bands they show cold feet in very advanced stage, the championship really belonging to the Bridgeport team. The Annex men were played off their feet every time. It seems too bad to see a visiting team get such a raw deal through the fault of the referee and linesmen.'
