Weber. and producing the evidence
against him:
]. p. NJ:
In reply to Manager weber's an
swer to my letter appearing in last
Tuesdays paper.
l note that in Manager Weber's
reply he tries to make 1t appear that
l am poor sport, starting this con-
troversy because of losing the after
noon game played against Vailsburg
at Athletic Park This is entirely
wrong. l am too good a sport to let
personal feelings interfere in any
way. | merely want to see credit
given where credit is due. Being a
ball player myself, I know what
harm the injustice of a padded box
score can do.
Manager Weber claims that he en-
ploys q competent man to keep his
score. As matter of fact, Manager
Weber, before the Chester Athletic
Vailsburg game, started hunt
through the crowd for a man to take
care of his score, and a personal
friend of mine, Fred Maurer, of the
Madison A. A.. volunteered to keep
1t. As Mr.. Maurer is ready to back
me up In my statements, Manager
Weber can be seen employing some
of his small tactics to cover him.
self. We give him credit for being
a good buffer, and that is about all.
He has been getting away with this
stuff all season, but we have him
with the goods this time.
Mr.. Maurer called my attention to
another score Manager Weber pad
ded, namely, the game between the
Madison A. A. and Vailsburgh, in
nh oh l,aI
for pitching no-hit game. The
Madisons actually got four hits.
Banty Lewis, our promising little
battler, getting two all by himself.
Now, J. p NJ, don't you think
Manager Weber is a good manager
if you are playing for him? He GER
tainly gives Vailsburg all the credit,
even If he has to manufacture 1t.
The Madison A. A. is q team asking
no credit where none is due. yet

trea tment received at Manager We
ber's hands.
out of baseball, don't you? Yours in
sport, ROBERT McNASH.
Baseball managers who pad scores
should be ashamed of themselves.
That's about the severest criticism
can offer.
Betting with fellow who doesn't
like to lose
J. p. N:
l made a bet about a month ago
with a you Know Me, All from
Railway, who is trying to stick one
lover on me. He thinks he is some
slick guy, but I beg to differ. He
bet "2' ironmen that the Giants
would win the pennant | called his
bluff. But now he states that if the
Giants lose the pennant this year
(Which is almost certain) he will not
owe me 49," as he did not state
which year the Giants would win
the pennant While this is true, do
you think any fair minded person
would bet two or one season from
now? In your opinion who would
you call the winner of this bet?
/ also made a bet with him on the
result of a game the other day. We
put our money in the hands of
stakeholder. After making the bet
he demanded his money back, say
ing that he called the bet off. The
stakeholder refused to give him the
money, as was willing to live up to
of calling off bet, or must they
both agree before the bet is void and
money returned? SOCKS.
Men who fail to make good their
bets are known as "squealers." If
the Giants are beaten your friend
will lose his bet. Money. once up.
goes unless both persons agree to
draw it down. What kind of fellow
is your friend from Railway?
