 aid:
 Dear Sir--I notice in your issues of April 30 and May l on your sport ing page articles severely criticizing the promoters of the wrestling bout to be staged at the Jefferson theatre Monday night, May 1. As manager of one of the participants of this bout (Fred Pilakof) and director of the Moose Amusement club, it Is my pleas ure to correct these statements and uncompromisingly repudiate the state ments made in the above mentioned articles.
 I do not care to criticize the pre- vious wrestling bouts held under the auspices of the B. A. C., because, in my opinion, their committee was con scientious in making contracts that they felt would he commendable and worthy of the public's patronage. still there are expressions in the above mentioned articles that reflect anything but credit upon the R. A. C. and the individual who signed them lC. w. c.
 In behalf of the promoters of our wrestling bout to be staged Monday night, May 1, the public can feel as- sured there is no frame-ur or fake to filch the lucre. but the bout will be between two wrestlers whose financial conditions have never made it neces- sary for them to resort to the kitchen sink for the fattening subsistence as mentioned by MT.

With the path to the pennant clear and all Instructions tending to cause friction eliminated, the 12 teams form ing the 1914 City Baseball league will start down the stretch this afternoon and inaugurate activities that will con- tinue uninterrupted to August 29. For several weeks officers of the league have been earnestly. at work mapping out plans for the coming season and overcoming all of the hard feling which arose over unpleasant incidents that featured the 1913 season and for a time threatened to break up the league.
 A schedule that is considered fair to oil of the teams in the league have been drafted and new set of bylaws remedying the poorly drafted one of last season, has been prepared and adopted by the league. The aid of the Young Mems Christian association has also been obtained and all signs point to a harmonious season.
 .ats Details Complete
 All of the details pertaining to the Forthcoming campaign have been care fully attended to and the officials. managers and players of the league are fully cognizant of what is ex- pected of them during the 1914 season and what specific rules must be strict ly adhered to.
 The league is composed of two divis- Ions, northern and western. of six clubs each. At the end of the season the clubs finishing first Tn each sec tion will meet in a series to decide the league championship.
 The northern division is composed of Oster Brothers, Progressive Palmer Publishing company. Southern Bell Telephone company, Postal Telegraph company, Frisco and Standard Oil com pany. The teams forming the western division are the Ensley disvision of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, Ris- ing Grocery company, West End, West Woodlawn, Moore & Handley Hardware company and the American Bakery company.
 Officials Unattached
 The officials of the league this year are not affiliated with any of the teams and this should help to keep down in ternal dissension. H. c. Vance is pres ident and w. D. Graham is vice presi- dent
 A pleasing feature of the preseason arrangements was the feeling mani fested against any kind of rowdyism on the field by the various managers and the appeal issued by them to their players against indulgfng in any rowdy tactics during the coming race.
 There is a probability of the local league becoming a member of the na- tional organization of amateur base ball clubs in the next year or so and matters now depend upon the way the players conduct themselves and the brand of ball they put up in the future
