rather fortunate on that particular
occasion. is surely the next best man
to Kramer.
This letter will end this contro-
versy. both sides having had an in
ming:
j. r. N
In answer to Fred Muerer's letter
in the Monday Evening Star, | will
say that we are not arguing over the
loan of bats and balls. but over the
padding of a box score The game
/ was not arranged Tor a side bet of
$40 but for S.. This was the sugges-
/ ton of Manager Muerer, as he said
that he had lost few dollars on
! Saturday. Mr. Muerer is right when
he says that we had only half team
on the field but what | would like
to know Is what made him quit? He
SAYS that he was abused and that |
called him names. He knows that
this is not true, for l am not in the
habit of calling anyone out of his
name. The whole story that Mana
ger Muerer had published is false as
he did it to get back at me person
ally.
Ia regard to the question of a ball.
| put a brand new ball in the game
at the start This ball was lost in the
canal in the third inning We then
played with an old ball and Mr..
Muerer was not asked 10 supply a
ball for the game. He Voluntarily
gave ball to Lyons to pitch He
told Lyons that the old ball was soft.
Manager Muerer cannot deny this.
Before the game IL was agreed to
play for a side bet of So, and | PROM
ised him expenses II his team was
defeated. But he tried to be a wise
guy by calling off the side bet and
then asking for guarantee thinking
that | would offer him a guarantee to
finish out the game. But ] was as
wise as he was. This story Manager
Muerer cannot deny, and if he would
write the truth to the papers and not
a pack of lies, he would do justice 10
himself.
Hoping he will write to me in re-
gard to another game. | am.
