NO WONDER ED COT
 SLIGHTLY PEEVED
His Team Won at the Civic Chamber Outing, But
 Lost in Newspapers

Ed Wilcox captain of the Blue team at the Chamber of Commerce outing at Edgewood Thursday. let out an awful "hoiler" when he discovered yesterday that all the unofficial scorers had awarded the palm of victory in the all q letic contests at the Chamber of Com merce outing to the Red team explained by George Blinn, Jr.
 Mr. Wilcox made for Hill Ferguson, referee, with blood in his eye, and it was all that Hill could do to pacify him with the promise that he would issue an official statement and set the mattei in issue at rest. Accordingly MT. Fer guson's statement follows;
 '"rhe athletic events at the Chambel of Commerce outing were really won by the Blue team of which Ed Wilcox vas captain despite the fact that all three papers published to the contrary as result of the unofficial scorers ac- tivity.
 There were Ave events with a possi- ble 3s points. Out Of this number the Blues got 21, while the Reds were only able to come across with IT. The de- tailed results of the events were as fol lows:
 Running high jump. Thornton Estes Red. first. points; Frank Hammond Blue second, 3 points, Douglas Me Queen, Red third, l point Runnins broad jump, l.. II. Hall, Blue, first, points; Frank Hammond Blue. secohd 3 points; J. G. Wright, Red, third. point. There were two relay races. one for the fats and one for the leans. both of which were won by the Blues. giving them 10 points on those two events l alone. The tug of war. worth 10 points was won by the Reds. There were ?: Rods against 20 Blues but the former were assisted by some very. very sub 1 stantial men.
 Ed Wilcox is a fine fellow, but don't blame him bit for getting sors 'at being so unjustly deprived of ths
 need of victory"
