the row he had that he must have lost
his head in making such a binder.
However, whether the option is exer-

Here is the answer of the Lincoln
Field Club as to the charge that the
latter club treated the Royal A. A. in
an unsportsmanlike manner.
The letter explains itself:
Realizing that you have but little
time and space TO spare for the many
controversies which arise every Satur-
day and Sunday on the many different
diamonds in the city. / am going to
state our side of the Royal A. a. VS..
Lincoln F.. c.. dispute in as few words
as possible, hoping that In Justice to
the sport and to our club you will give
same proper space in your Evening
STAR.
81 have but to refer you to the treat
ment offered by us to the Harrison
A. A, Newark Centres. Magnolias,
South Newarks and many others too
numerous toy mention, to back up my
statement of square deal to all. Mr..
Einhorn seemed perfectly well satisfied
with the treatment given him. there
fore his complaint to you comes as a
surprise.
1.-The instance to which Mr.. Einhorn
refers when he claims that one of his
men was struck for scoring a run is,
I - -A--.. -. --.r $500 L.4 All 49,, -
gression of all fair craftsmanship was
committed by an intoxicated outsider,
not a member of the team. 1t all hap
pened so quickly that the players had
no time to interfere until 1t was too
late.
No one regrets this unfortunate m
cident more than /. and Mr.. Einhorn
should have considered the cireum-
stances and not blame the team Tor
something entirely out of its control
about the money guarantee | will
not trouble you any further han TO
say that Mr.. Einhorn booked with our
manager with the understanding that
he was to receive 40 per can't. of The
collection if he lost. and, as our COZ
lection amounted to $3.50, it is easily
ssen that he received the correct sum
when he obtained SO.
Soreness on Mr.. Einhorn's part over
che defeat handed his team, more SO
than the rough deal he CLAIMS he re-
celved, at the hands of the field club,
no doubt prompts his complaint.
I'm justice to my men and SO we can
put this regrettable case fairly and
squarely before the many managers of
the other teams whose confidence we
highly desire, 1 beg of you to give Ibis
letter as much publicity as possible.
For the fairness and kindness al
ways received at your hands I wish to
sincerely thank you, while l remain,
Most respectfully yours,
"MR. EUGENE MICHEL.
Captain Lincoln 4. c.
"18o Hamburg place, Newark, N. j."

There seems to be much argument
hereabouts as to the way of scoring
