' 4 VI WIZ
DEAR SIR on Sunday. August %.
1915. the morning SUS prints what pur-
ports 10 be an interview from you. the
substance of which. as far as the Irish
American Athletic Club is concerned,
is that criticisms have .manated from
the club rejecting on the character of
two Of the decisions rendered at the
national championships recently held in
San Francisco, namely, the 100 yard
dash II So pound weight.
To quote your own words. YOU say :
"All these criticisms are uusportsman-
like and very unfortunate" Sc. II the
report is correct, permit me officially
to state that II Is without foundation in
fact and far from the truth.
Officially the club is not acquainted
with any Of the facts concerning either
Of the events in question, and as IA mat
ter OF course could not have criticised
the judging of either. Personally |
rave not heard OF any criticism from
any OF the clubs officials. The only
knowledge the club has Of the entire
matter has been gathered from the
newspaper reports and comments.
Since this interview has been given
great publicity adverse to the clubs in
~terest, II is considered a matter Of fair
ness. now that you are officially &C
quainted with the clubs position, that II
be repudiated.
1t might not be amiss to suggest that
In the future any matter in connection
with this club which might call for
"A confirmation or reputation before II
is rushed into public print might bo
submitted to the clubs officials so that
they at least might enjoy the opportun-
ity and the courtesy of passing on it and
thereby save the embarrassment and in
convenience OF being compelled to seek
a rctraction. Very truly yours.
II. q. BANNoN. Secretary.
