A casual glance at the fIneupa
presented above will serve to show
that there are more OF the present
Athletic team represented than thera
are Of the Morgan A. G. Rather SIM
n~ifieant. Explanation-Mgrs Burden
and his clique OF friends. One
might say THE same team with the
possible exception OF one, repre-
sented the Morgan A. G., In its Arst
clash with South River"-egplana~
ton. Mgr. Burden and his clique Of
friends.
With reference TO the m~unifcent
gift of $500 presented to the play-
ers after the first tilt with the South
River-beg to say that the players
received every cent that Mgr. Bur-
den-according to his statement at
the meeting referred to=Was able
to secure. Ii Is somewhat of d COIN
eidence, however, that Mgr. Burden
was only able to secure a guarantee
OF $500 for the first game and Is
now able TO obtain a guarantee OF
$4,000.
There is d rumor afioat that Mgr.
Burden received $4,000 tor the Mor-
gan's share In the first affair, but
! that ,,,r,, Ms ajseTsait g vs. nsyIsys
that Mgr. Burden f. non6st. OF
course, IT he only received $1,000.
and presented the pitcher with $500,
there wes rot ? iaas iefl 70 ar
dive amongst the players
With reference to that part OF the
article, regarding the legal and
Illegal portion OF the meeting held
! at the Morgan A. c., we would like
to say for the ediicatIon OF those
who are not aware of the conditions.
that the Illegal part of the meeting
was that various persons present,
notM members OF the organization,
tried after much argument to pass
a resolution to the effect that the
team be carried along Independent
of the club. OF course that was IL
legal, as we'll as being ridiculous. as
no such motion could be entered
upon ~the minutes of the meeting.
The legal portion of the meeting was
that part which had reference to
club business, and was participated
In by members. and members only.
With reference to the election a.
Mr., Rehfuss, we would say that the
narrow-mindedness was on the other
side, as he did as was desired by the
clubLhe 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
