Athietie Mem,
On the front page Of the Manning
ton Evening Telegram, Of Monday the
10th Of November appeared q short
article On Saturdays game between
r. n. S. and n. n. s. The article
seemed to have been written by q close
follower Of the Warrington team, who
took TO heart their defeat last Saturs
day. The article told Of the unsportss
msnlike conduct Of F. H. s. players
and Of the poor officials who knew
nothing Of the game. According to
Fairmonters and many Of the Man
nfngton followers these accusations
refer 70 the Warrington team rather
than the Fairmont players. Every
where the Fafrmont team has played
they have been told that the game
which they put up Is altogether
too clear. Referring to the officials,
they were practically the best that
could be obtained and among them
was 'Red9 Suodgrass, an old Man
