Kept us from it. as two Of our players

amount last year and without these
two there would have been no team i'll

A third reason why we join at the
time we did is to forestall any quibble
as to that point AS Il matter of fact.
Superintendent Davenport never rails
ed the question Of our membership till
In our last talk when ! called him up
last Tuesday night in last effort to
have the game played as scheduled.
He told ME then he had investigated
the matter that day and found we
were not u member of the league.
replied that our dues had been sent
and we would have receipt tOmor-
row. and that he could not quibble ov-
er that matter.
AS a matter of fact Superintendent
Davenport did not notify us that they
would not play the game till after
had told him cn the night of the 7th
or 8th that our team was entirely
qualified under the rules and that we
expected them on Nov. IA as they had
scheduled. Not till Monday afternoon,
Nov. 8. did we have any hint Of that
when the Park River coach called me.
then took 1t up with Mr.. Davenport
that night. He said that they claimed
the championship without playing us.
that their scores against their oppo-
.nents had been higher than ours, and
that on this showing they did not have
to play us. Their contention was that
they had" ':everything to lose ana

He Anally' said that if they played
us at all it would have to be OH neu-
trail ground. While we did not con-
cede his right to cancel the game we
did press him to promise that II they
refused to- play here they would play
US on neutral ground. He refused alb
solutely to agree to that at that time
as they might have to play Kenmare
or some other team more entitled than
,,e would be. to claim a game for

/ to complete his schedule in this dis

to claim the championship in this dis
trict. thenwe might have the better
light to play Kenmare or some other
cam for the championship, especially
;ince Park River and Cavalier thus
ar had won 100 per cent of games
played. Then, on his failing to say by

Monday night he would let me know
