MdIldScI OIC Lee "A. w.,
West Fort Lee, N. j.
My dear Mr.. Meyer:
Your letter of August 5, 1916, was
duly received, and in reply l wish to
say that the cup was donated by me
to be contested for by the Fort Lee
and Palisade baseball teams in games
to be played at Palisade on July 4,
each year until one team or the other
wins two games out of three. This
was the arrangement and distinct
understanding has remained so and
l prefer not to disturb it. l appre-
ciate your desire for match game
between the two teams for Labor
Day but a game on that day in the
cup competition would disturb the
plans and one of the main purposes
of the donation which was to make
our National patriotic day-July a
one of increased interest in our COM
munity and in the spirit of the day
to bring together the people, and
especially the young men of our bor-
rough. Moreover, the Fort Lee team
has had the privilege of retaining the
cup for one entire year. The same
privilege should be enjoyed by the
Palisade team. Under these circum-
stances l must insist on the original
plan and understanding being carried
out.
I am sending copy of this letter
to Mr.. Charles Lagoon, jr., of the Pail
SADIE team.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. Samuel E. Darby.
The original idea was that the cup
series should be the best three in five
games, out Mrs. Darby later chang Fd
