that Ebbets, in taking the three
players to Brooklyn at the time he
did was not doing anything that any
proposition, wouldn't do tomorrow If
the same play came up. Baseball is
business, and it is conducted to
make money just like a newspaper
| is. Mr.. Ebbets took his Newark
players to benefit his Brooklyn team,
which, as a winner. would be worth
many times as much money to him
as would Newark under similar
circumstances. Everything, too,
looked rosy for Newark at the time.
Besides, Ebbets sent other players
over here when things looked blue,
and one of them-Curtis-w the
game that decided the pennant. AS
far as could see Ebbets didn't have
any apology to offer after giving
Newark a championship ball club,
but after all is over he gets faint
heart, sends for the reporters and
weeps q few copious tears to them.
In return, he will get roasted good
and plenty for his pains. Ebbets is
unlike Solomon in one way-George
has never squealed under the lash.

Am in serious trouble, and it's up
to you to get me out of it. Last SUM-
day night, September 81, while / hap
pened to be out at 12:45 p. M,
stated to B, who was not out that
evening that the moon was visible at
that time. B doubts the statement,
because it had been storming all day

the answer in Thursday or Friday
evenings paper it i'll greatly be ap-
preciated. M.
In the first place, you could not
have possibly been out at 12:45 p. m.
at night. Anyone who goes out in a
downpour of rain at 12:45 in the
morning and sees the moon shining
has got something on us. We didn't
see it. This sounds like "moonshine"
to us.
