Dear Sir I suppose you have seen
the article in the e PasO Herald on
the 18th in regards to the fight held
at Central. y n. Wei, that piece was
put in by StrOueT himself, 1 am sure,
and t wish you would write letter 20
The Herald, as StrOuer states that he
was winning the fight from Lopez,
which is not so, and also that you
stopped the fight TO save Lopez. All
you have 10 do is write the truth, ana
state that YOU viii match Lopez with
him again If he so desires. 1 wish TO
state that / had nothing to do with
that article OF StrOuers in The Herald
and am very sorry to have my name
mentioned in IL, as Strouer is a sore
loser sincerely,
Bait Manten.
SAYS NO BAD LANGUAGE Used.
Camp, Fort Bliss, Texas,
April %, 1915.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
In your issue Of Wednesday, April
IS. appeared an article criticizing the
language Of the baseball club Of the
goth infantry on the Las Cruces
grounds during a game played last
Sunday and imputing bad language.
As manager Of that team I was present
on the occasion and know that the
stunts" in the language line referred
to are Inaccurate and unjust. There
was no profane nor obscene language
used by the team in question nor by
any of its members
Request is made that this refutation
Of the statement be given as prominent
a place in your columns as the state
ment itself in order 10 do justice to
all concerned.
Very respectfully,
c. L. McKain,
Captain. goth Infantry Baseball Repre-
sentative
