me that the law is an imposition on the

harsh is ii on the person who COM
menced teaching after September first.
They, in particular, are forced TO con-
tribute to this pension fund, whether
they will or not, while it is optional with

CLUB TO PAY ITS DEBTS
Mohegan A. G.. Vacates Home
to Save Expenses.

To the Sporting Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Rumors to the effect that the Mo-
hogan Athletic Club has disbanded and
discontinues to- exist, compel me TO write
in order that our friends and the various
athletic clubs may know the real truth OF
the circ instances which made it necessary
for the Mohegan Club to vacate its present
home.
At a meeting Of the board of governors,
after a lengthy discussion and much de-
liberation over this question. motion was
duly made, seconded and carried 10 vaeate
the premises for a period of two months.
within which time We could hold an affair.
and with the profits we hope to realize, and
also with the expenses that we will save
by not having a clubhouse, we will then be
I'm q position to pay all our indebtedness
and start again with a clean slate
| firmly believe that the Mohegan Ath-
letic Club should be complimented for TAX
ing such a step. for IT proves conclusiveiy
that we are acting in good faith with our
creditors and il will be only question OF
less than two months that we viii be N
full bloom again and prosperinS better
than ever. For 10 sacrifice our home and
lis members working for the purpose Of
should receive its just reward TO wit: fut-
ure prosperity and the good wishes OF the
nublic in al, and more particularly the
hest wishes of the athletic world.
Trusting that YOU will find II convenien,
IN insert this letter in your paper at your
earliest convenience. for the good OF ath,
letics 10 show the athletic world the true
reason for temporarily sacrificing our home
and assuring you OF our appreciation OF
any future courtesies which you may be In
