August 8, 1917.
Dear friend Ed
That was a great idea of yours to
send me TO this here town to look over
that sunday game. You wouldn I be.
hrvc il il somebody else than me told
), 90 YOU but honest, teller, it was al
most like a Twin State contest. | al.
most Thought was At Island park, only
the scenery WASH T SO good, they having
a hath house ont in center and right
Held instead Of mountain like Mike
Moran got.
Looking over the New Haven paper
before the game was glad that was
hvrc. | find that these birds that do
the sport writing in New Haven are
much like the birds that do il in Brattlc-
boro or Bellows Fails. If they think
anything is 50 they just let it 20 at
that. You know what | mean. ed. II was
the Fisk Rcd Tops of Springfield, Mass,
aud the CnlOnials of New Haven that
was scheduled 10 play here sunday and
whom ! read 1t in the paper ! was kinda
anxious 10 20, though YOU know ! was
always strong in my opinion about sun
dr.c baseball
This dope in these here New Haven
papers is full Of dope. seen by it
that Marty Conroy would bring the Red
Tips here and that Marty used to bat
for 100 in the Twin state. If Marty
could lat for 400 in the Twin state he
could bat for ten thousand in any club

The new Haven SpOrtwrltcr put me on

his fielding is a revelation and he sooI
