old pal Amos Rusie could have got
hit. And the number OF baseballs
given away allows nearly one for every
two American soldiers in Pershing' $
army when 1t was biggest.
This baseball among the doughboys,
by the way, Is likely to develop some
good big league material. I've seen
some promising kids over here, and I
believe the army training has been a
good thing to help At them for pro-
fessional teams
After the boys go hom---und they
are moving that way pretty fast now
there will be mighty little baseball
in France. and something must be
done to keep up interest II the game
is not TO lose the ground II has gained.
I've thought that over a great deal.
and believe there's only one answer
the ten-cent baseball.
You can't make the older fellows
take up our game to any extent. How
many Americans who are past voting
age ever learn to play ball? Very few
They are too busy, or too stiff. or too
dignihed or too fat We learn to play
when we are kids. Practically every
healthy American learns how TO catch
and throw as soon as he's old enough
to play hockey" from school
Now, IL Americans are going to ia
troduce baseball in France as a gen
eral sport, they will have to start with
the kids.

Mr.. Oeorgs A. Levy. Chief.
Industrial Bureau Of the City and
County af Dcnver.
Denver. Colorado.
Ny dear Sir:
About two weeks ago. found
that important business made Il nee
cssary for me to take . trip to New
York and WaAhington. returned
to this oficc la,t evening and and on
my desk letters from Orand juno
tion. Monte Vista and several other
places in tho State. calling my at
tcntion to the fact that the Indus
trial Bureau. Of which you are Chief.
has At various timcs during the past
year sent out communications and
reports concerning tho reliability Of
the Pan Motor Company. Of ST..
Cloud. Minnesota: and several OF
these parties call especial attention
to the fact that tho reports came
from and are endorsed by the Indus
trial Bureau and by tho members.
These reports are signed. George
A. Levy. Chief OF the Industrial Bu-
reau. Denver" and great pains ap-
pear to have been taken to give the
names Of the members Of the Bu-
reau. namely. Frank Adams. Presi-
dent. Harry X. Brown. w. J. Doran.
J. X. Mullen and w. +. Il. Mills.

Inasmuch as tho writer Is inter
ested In the operation OF . good
many Industrial plants throughout
Colorado. great stress appears to be
laid upon the fact that am . men,

therefore. to n great extent. account
able for tho fact that :. great amount

imply that considerable importance
was placed upon the report that you
scnt out signed ~ above mentioned
by reason Of tho fact that J. X. Null
len. tho writer. was . member Of the
Bureau. And the reports that you
sent out not only indicate and imply
but practically state that the Indus
trial Bureau. and the individual MEM
bers whose names you mention, ap-
prove OF tho report which recon-
mends that the public purchase the
stock Of the Pan Motor Company:
and deaire to say that BY reason OF
your having taken this action you
have not only greatly injured my
reputation in the communities whore
this apparently worthless stock was
sold to innocent people. but you
have. by reason OF the use Of my
name. induced many innocent people
to purchase this stock that otherwise
would not have done so.
I. know nothing whatever about
the stock Of the Pan Motor Com
pany. Don't know whether II II an
industrial. commercial or financial
institution: am not interested In the
company to the extent Of . penny

Of the stock. and don't think that I
ever heard Of the company until yes
terday.
When the late Mayor speer was
considering tho advisability Of pro-
vidins in his Charter for the appoint
mont Of an Industrial Bureau, he
sent for me and we conferred togeth-
er. and I stated to him that I be-
iieved the time had come when less
attention should be paid to bringing
conventions into this State and more
attention paid to tho locating Of
manufacturing plants in this City.
and we both agreed that tho time
had come when a special effort
should be made to increase the din
ner bucket brigade" This was be-
fore the charter was submitted or
approved.
Some time after the election
namely. February 2l. 1sl7.-the
Mayors Secretary advised me that
the Mayor had appointed me men,
ber Of the Industrial Bureau. i'm
mediately called at his ONCE and
told him that I could not possibly
act: that wouldn't be able to at
tend any Of the Meetings because I
would be out Of the City half of the
time. and I further stated that II he
had consulted with me in regard to
my accepting the position would
have told him very plainly that II
would be impossible for me to act.
He agreed that he would substitute
some other name as soon as he could
find the proper party.
Later on. I was requested BY you
to attend Meeting Of the Industrial
Bureau. and also received similar
requests from MIR. Reed. and ad-
vised you both that was not a mem
Der, that I had never accepted the
appointment. and that I did not in
tend to attend . Meeting, for the
