keeping the appointment. Tom is a
business manager. and he wouldn't
allow such soft match as the one
you suggest slip by for the world.
Think 1t over.
o
Dispute as to the use of the name
Westinghouse by employees of that
concern for baseball teams seems to
have become a settled matter with
the following letter:
j. P. NJ:
Several letters have appeared in
your columns regarding the use of
the name WESTINGHOUSE" by teams
representing the Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Company, of
Newark, and the Westinghouse Lamp
Company, of Bloomfield.
A recent letter by "A Westinghouse
Supporter" would make 1t appear
that there is some unfriendliness be-
tween the two clubs. In order to set
tie any questions, we would like to
state that abe original protest was
made through a misunderstanding;
| that there is not, nor will there be,
any dispute over the name, and that
in the event of the lamp company
putting a team in the field, arrange
ments will be made to distinguish
between the ball clubs of both organ
izations.
This should close the incident. Very
truly, ]. T. METZGER,
Chairman Westinghouse Lamp Base
ball Club.
The other side of the Wrestling
house" controversy contained in the
following letter:
We have read the article in
Wednesday evenings Star signed "A
Westinghouse Supporter" and 1t Is
evident there is some misunderstand
| ing. Although the writer makes no
| mention of it there Is no doubt but
that he Is employed by and probably
| used Westinghouse Lamp Company
| stationery. Great care seems to have
been exercised in the omission OF the
name lamp company, as sufffX to
| the name Westinghouse. Our arti-
Gle, that none of the names given are
employed by the w. E. 81 M. Co., New
ark and our request that you disre-
gard correspondence under this name
| unless signed as stated still stands.
| They must have known that the
name Westinghouse as applying to
! baseball referred to the Newark
| works, since we have had a team in
| the field for the last three years, and
| that in using the name as they did
/ they would only confuse all inter-
/ ested But If we had known pre-
viously that the interested parties
were employees of the lamp company
| we would have taken the matter UP
| through other sources, but all our in
| quiries led us to believe that 1t was
an organization which had no right to
/ = cd hA fnN
whatever benefit they might obtain
| from it.
We have taken the matter up with
| the proper party, at the lamp COM
pany, who advises that they had in
| tended organizing a high class team,
| capable of doing the name credit, and
even yet may be able to accomplish
their purpose, but 1t will not be the
| lineup announced in last Saturdays
! Star
Should their expectations be realized
we will be one of the first to know
| IL, and they will have the first open
! date on our schedule, for game such
as this will create the best of friendly
| rivalry
Furthermore, they assure us that
should they be able to organize 1T will
be a very easy matter to designate a
name for the team that will avoid
confusion with ours Should the
same team as previously mentioned
continue in the field they will be fair
not only to the public but to them
selves and followers If they will use
the name Westinghouse Lamp Com
pany or otherwise designate them
selves, so that there will be no con-
fusion with the team representing
the Employees Athletic Association
of the w. e. & M. c., Newark works.
With the above this matter is closed
as far as we are concerned as the
other implications in their letter are
entirely baseless. Yours very truly,
Board of Managers,
c. H. LINDSAY,
Recording Secretary.

An explanation:
]. P. NJ:
In the statement made in your col
umn by Manager w. Simms. former
ly of the Newark Whirlwinds, we
wish to give an answer. Though we
are youngsters and are supposed to
be lacking in ability In ball playing,
we wish to say we never had any in
tention of taking Manager Simms' s
name, but through the mistake of our
corresponding secretary the name was
mixed with the Newark Windwhirls,
and Manager Simms, without noti-
flying us, changed his club to the
| Newark Star B. B. G. We left the
mistake as it was and took the name
OF Newark Whirlwinds. We hope
