A casual glance at the IIneups
presented above will serve TO show
that there are more Of the present.
Athletic team represented than thara
are OF the Morgan A. G. Rather sin~
nifcant. Explanation-Mgr. Bura81a
and his clique of friends. oaa
might say THE same team with this
possible exception OF one. repre-
sented the Morgan A, G., In its nrst
clash with Sonth Riyer-explana%
ton. Mgr. Burden and his clique of
friends.
With reference TO the munifeent
gift OF s1.0o presented to the play
ers after the first tilt with the South
River-beg to say that the players
received every rent that Mgr. BHr~
den-according to his statement at
the meeting referred tp-was abba;
to secure. 1t Is somewhat OF d celia
cidence, however, that Mgr. Burden
was only able to secure q guarantee
of $500 for the first game and is
now able to obtain a guarantee OF
5000.
There Is a rumor afloat thai Mgr.
Burden received $1,000 for tha @uS
gan's share In the first affair, hut
that We discredits ama haltak6.s
whatever may be said co the contrary
that Mgr. Burden IL honest 9f

and presented the pitcher with - Ga
there was not a great deal left to dit
dive amongst the players.
With reference to that part or tho
article, regarding the legal and
Illegal portion OF the meeting held.
at the Morgan Al. c., we would like
to say for the ~edihcatien OF those
who r not aware OF the conditions,
that the illegal part of the meeting
was that various persons present,
not members of the organization.
tried after much argument to pasa
a resolution to the effect that the
team be carried along independent
Of the club. OF course that was IT,
legal, as well as being ridiculous, "a
nj such motion could he entered
upon the minutes Of the meeting.
The legal portion OF the meeting was
that part which had references to-
club business, and was participated
In by members, and members only.
With reference to the election oa
Mr.. Rehfuss, we would say that the
narrow-mindedness was on the other
side, as he did as was desired BY the
club-he knew nothing OF the
~squabble mentioned, not being pres
ent at the meeting, and we desire TO-
say at this time that 1t was only after
much persuasion on the part of the
members that he would accept the
position.
Yours sincerely.
A MEMBER OF THE MORGAN A. G
