Sporting Editor The Herald:
The following letter explains itself:
THE statement made by President
Deane, Of the Dreadnought A. c. in
yesterday mornings Herald, in regard
to the canceling Of last Sundays game
between the Lincoln A c. and his club
is entirely erroneous.
AS every one knows it rained un-
ceasingly for twenty-four hours until
three hours before the time for calling
the game, rendering our grounds unfit
for play. ] reported this fact TO DR..
Conrad. manager Of the Dreadnoughts.
and he declined my invitation to inspect
the diamond. taking my word as to the
condition OF the same.
Il offered TO play his team on the
Hilltop A. c. diamond-and there is no
better in the northeast-and this he
positively refused to do, claiming II
his team could not play on the Rose
dale grounds they would not play 1T
all. He actually backed out and then
he talks about our team having cold
feet"
AS for his team claiming the independ-
ent championship OF the District Is AL
a huge Joke. w. B. CARTER,

floating and being assisted by the
