E. MUELLER ANSWERS
MOHAWK GRIDIRONERS

Sporting Editor Of The Washington
Herald: In reference to the article pub
lished in this mornings Herald I wish to
have the pleasure to state that I have
called on Mr.. White, of the Mohawk A.:
C.. OF your city, on two different occas-
ions asking him to give US a game. but
each time refused stating that his team
would not play in Alexandria. Mr.. White
gives his reason that his men received
unfair treatment from the members of
the Virginia "A. c. last year. which I can
positively say is untrue, as I had charge
Of the said team last year as we'll as this,
and can also state that there is not a
member on the Virginia team who would
attempt to play unfair football unless a
member of the opposing team did SOY for
fear he would lose his position on the
team. Unfair play is something am very
much opposed to. 1 can further state
that have referred the charges to the
referee Of the game which was played in
Alexandria last fall, who says:
Mr.. White is very much in the wrong.
wish to call attention TO the sporting
element of Washington and Alexandria
of the unsportsmanlike manner in which
Mr.. White. of the Indians. has misrepre-
scented the Virginia A. c. TO other teams
of Washington who I have games with
Mr.. White represented the Virginia A. c.
know Of as a dirty lot of football play
ers. for which statement have positive
proof.
/ can refer Mr.. White to all of the foot
ball teams the Virginia A c. has played
since il has been organized in the fall of
1914 up to the present date and can safely
say that they will all consider his charges
without any foundation whatever II the
Mohawk a. c. considers the Virginia A.
e. such team as they have, I cannot
understand why they want to play US at
this date. Maybe they need some foot
warmers. We will play the Mohawk A.
[. in Alexandria on December 4, and will
also see that they will be well taken care
OF. also have officials OF the game to
please them.

circles, and known in the days of I'M
restricted race track betting as the Pool
King" died in a hospital. Saturday
night, at the age of seventy-one years,
from pneumonia, which developed after
an operation for gallstones.
After growing rich as a pool room
keeper, DeLacy waged war against
jockey clubs when they tried to restrict
betting to tracks and, his efforts led to
the adoption of the New Jersey anti
racing law in 1894. which closed all New
Jersey tracks permanently. Later he
resorted to legal proceedings to close
race tracks in this State, and went 10
Albsny to help the Hughes anti-bettinG
bills. In recent years DeLacy turned
his attention to real estate.

pOnent for his team in the next couple
of days. owing to the condition OF the
weather sunday, the game with the
Ewing A A. of Philadelphia, was called
off. but IT is possible that these two
teams will meet in the main attraction
on Turkey Day.
Nothing but a long blackboard talk

BAN EXHIBITION GAMES.
Pacific Coast League VIII Not Allow
Use of Parks.

San Francisco, Nov. l5.-Directors
of the Pacific Coast League voted at
their annual meeting to close the gates
OF all Coast League parks against all
exhibition games. II was announced that
major league clubs no longer would be
welcomed in Coast League cities for
such contests.
President Allan 7. Baum, character
lied exhibition games as a menace to the
life Of the goose that lays the golden
egg" He said the leagues action was due
to the fact that President Comiskey, of
the Chicago Americans. when he had the
White Sox to the coast, divided his play
ers into two squads, neither Of which
represented the best material on the
team.
The league placed 1t self on record as
against the playing of winter baseball
by men under contract or reservation
as detrimental to summer playing abil-
