The Ironsides claim the Bay View
Wheelnen want to crimp their Sunday
morning games, while the Wheeimen
declare all they want is a share of the
morning games on the Sabbath.
The Wheelmen control certain parts
OF the West Side oval tract. If the
Wheelmen persist in their stand not to
allow the Ironsides to trespass on this
property, it's hard to say how any base
bali a be played there with any de-
gree of comfort.
KS o as the Ironsides found the
Wheelmen's on hand last
Saturday and saw what was up they
pulled the men off and since have be-
gun work on the northern section.
& There is ground enough there for a
field, but it is understood that the
n Wheelmen own four lots in that sec
ton so situated that they make that
plot almost useless for a decent field.
81 We understand that the Wheelmen
Il have employed a lawyer to care for
their interests, and hat he has warned
81 the Ironsides not to remove the present
bleachers, which are now in what will
be the old part, and that there must be
no trespassing on the property owned
by the Wheelmen. To prevent tres
passing the Wheelmen may fence this
property.
Here is a letter the Wheelmen sent in
today:
10 the Sporting Editor of the Evening star;
In reply to the letter of the Ironside
Ia. C. published in last nights STAR
1--we beg to take exception to statements
& of their baseball committee.
In the first place we do not say that
the Ironside A. c.. cannot play ball on
ri .-l-- -z---t---f A.A --- Il 500, shat
they cannot play en- property controlled
by our organization unless they gre
willing to divide the dates equally.
Secondly, the Bay View Wheelmen
&never nae to ask permission from the
Ironside A. c. to play baseball on va
can't lots now known as West Side
Park grounds, as We have now n
have held leases on portions of said
grounds before the site was available
for baseball purposes.
The Ironside A. C. committee states
that they received a communication
from our organization five years ago
asking their permission to play on
these grounds.
The baseball public is well aware
that this statement is incorrect, mas
much as the grounds were only filled
in and available for a gam of base
BAH on April 8, 1909, less than two
years ago, and can bear out our asser-
ton by presenting to you a statement
rendered to the baseball committee of
both Organizations. The communlca-
ton the Ironside A. c.. refers to is in
reference to the old grounds, and has
nothing to do with the present site.
Again the Ironside A. C. fail to re-
member that the first money procured
n - - - H. l.. -
raised through a dance held at our club
to the amount of $141.6S. This money
was paid out to members of the Iron
side. AZ c. who performed the work,
and we hold receipts from them to
prove this statement.
That we AVE paid half of the ground
preparation since then Is shown by
the following itemized list of bills pre-
scented by H. .Glassen, manager of the
Ironside A. c. We hold this check for
s23.43, Endorsed by him:
Lumber, $1.80; wire screens, $4.15;
piping for backstop, $2.85; rolling
ground, IS: rope, 25 CENTS; refresh
ments, $3.50; n load dirt, 25 cents;
four rakes, 81. 20, and for labor paid to
members of the Ironside A. c., $55.
Total, $71.05, less $24.2O for lumber paid
by our organization for benches, maxi
Ang our share paid to Mr.. Glassen
f23.43, which makes our share for pre-
pairing grounds for year 1910 $47.6S.
We do not think we are contemplate
or unsportsmanlike in this action, but
think that this version of the affair
can be better applied to the Ironside
A. c.. as they are putting statements
before the public which are Incorrect
10 gain sympathy in an affair In which
n u-- --I- ~-kLs.- $500 H. -
Break.
We will On application show all our
proofs to the above, which is now in
the hands of our attorney. Trusting
&$his will be found In the issue of the
9Th inst. we remain, respectfully,
THOMAS ]. DAILY.
