Co. during the latter part of their
stay in this city, so Bowen and Chap
man are not new friends by any
meansA When Bowen stepped out of
the bike game in this city Chapman
stepped into it. But that is, another
story.
The Bay View Separates are back
with a good excuse for their nom
appearance at Bernardsville in a
basketball game, and there is some
fight talk in the controversy. The
answer:
J. P. N.
In defense of the Bay View Sep
arates I am writing this letter [, as
manager, wrote Monday saying we
would be up to play the A. B. c. team,
of Bernardsyille, Wednesday night,
land it was. written in good faith. One
of our men is employed in the vicinity
of Maplewood, and to save any in
convenience to him we decided to
meet at the Maplewood station and
catch the 6:3S train to Bernardsville.
We met at the Firemen's building at
5:15 and waited for a South Orange
car for MapleWood, but on account OF
poor traffic conditions no car came
for Maplewood until $3.50, so we knew
/ we'd miss the 6:38 train, but went up
| anyhow, expecting to catch the 600
train. When we got off the car at
Maplewood the train was in the sta
ton, and when we got in the station
4 the train had just pulled out. The next
| train was at about 10 O'Clock, and we
thought that would be too late, so we
tried to get in communication with
i Steve Corrado, but didn't find his
name in the telephone book, nor that
of the A. B. c. Club, so we tried to
call up the stationmaster at Demands
vile and get him to notify Steve Cor
RADIO that we missed the train, but
| central said no one answered the
phone, taking it for granted no one
was in the station. If Mr.. Corrado
wants any proof of this we can refer
him to the stationmaster at Maple
wood, who saw our predicament, and
he told us the 10 o'clock train would
be too late, and, furthermore, Mr..
Corrado can call up central If he cares
to take the trouble. Central will sure
ly remember that call last Wednes-
day night, because she tried hard to
connect US with Bernardsvflle. And
as far as being afraidFof his team, it
is all foolishness, because | wrote him
in my letter asking for another
game
/ NOW, MI a. T. NJ tllClOSEd Is ltit
letter Steve Corrado sent me, jump
ing at conclusions that we purposely
| played a dirty trick. We wrote him
the following day, so he never waited
| two days to hear from us, as he
| claims in his letter. In the enclosed
| letter he sent me, he says he is going
| to get me good and proper. Is this
meant as a threat? If so, he can see
! me this coming Friday night at the
: MnntpIlip A WhPrn will meet
| the Company K team, of Montclair,
and he'll surely be accommodated If
he feels~that way about it. He also
asks me in his letter if / think he's a
farmer. Well, / certainly do think
| he's a hayseed, because nobody but
! hayseei would jump at conclusions
| the way he does.
Thanking you for Strengthening out
this matter for us. ] am,
JOHN f. DREHER
Manager Bay View Separates.
! Cut out the fight talk-it is bad for
the eyes--but get right down to cases
and arrange another game.
