! You ask If we know how far
reaching this protest is? Yes we
know. Il was because we knew it
would be far reaching that we we're
constrained to make it even ut the
eleventh hour, with the fact before
us, that because OF our position in the
pennant race. our motives would be
doubted and our good faith question
ed. 1t seems from the tone of your
letter that we were entirely right in
our Judgment in this particular
Some club had to protest against
the pennant going to the club having
the largest bank account, or to be
more accurate to the club having a
man at its head who was willing to
go the limit in every way without
regard to rules and totally blind to
baseball ideals. We are sorry, in
deed, If our protest has caused you
to lose interest in the eapue, but VIC
believe, that in fling our protest al
this time we are doing a good thing
for baseball in the Blue Ridge League
This rule was made for the best
interest of baseball It was made for
the protection of organized baseball
II you allow II TO be broken, what
protection has the small towns? The
towns that have a large attendance
or where the official organization is
composed OF men who are willing to
spend large amount of money te
win the pennant viii always be sue
cessful just as II has worked out IN
the Blue Ridge League. If actions
of this kind are allowed to go OF
without a protest ii does not take a
prophet to forteH the end OF organ
lied ball in this section.
We hope that you will take broat
view of this matter and believe that
we have acted only after careful con
sideration.
In conclusion we ask and expect
that the protest filed be judged &C
cording to its merits and that the
rules laid down for the government
Of organized baseball be made effec
tive in the Blue Ridge League

RE: Martinsburg4lIage
Protest.
Dear Sir:
am in receipt OF your special de-
livery letter dated Sept LIST, which
/ received yesterday afternoon, same
being postmarked Sept. 3, 1870 a.
m. must confess that l am disap-
pointed. In four Years with the
sporting fraternity of Martinsbure,
this is the first time | have ever
known them to make a claim on a
technicality. And to file a claim in
the eleventh hour which YOU were ia
mifiar with several weeks ago looks
like it was a request for a pen1ant
to be handed to Martin sburg rather
than the high-minded ideal. That
your protest was made on con-
scientious violation of the rules. and
necessary to the .furthera1ce of base
bali n the Blue Ridge League
1t would seem to me that if you
have had this information for such
long time that you would have for
warded it at once But To the con
trary you held it until Martinsburg's
chances of winning the pennant on
the ball field had vanished, and you
then file protest that has been VIC
lated by your club. the Hagerstown
club and by every other club in this
league since the league was organ
lied, in other words on a techni-
cality.
DO you realize how far reaching
this protest is? Do you realize that
the strict adherence to it would cause
this whole seasons ball to be played
over again? There is little doubt in
my mind but what as many games
would have to be thrown out that
Martinsburg has won as any other
club in the league
