One Millersburg fan, at least. ap-

reasons of the management for tho
withdrawal of Millersburg team
from the Dauphin-Perry circuit. III
Il letter to the Sports Editor of the
Telegraph, he especially takes eX-
ception to the statement of poor sup
port, denies that there has been an
agitation to enter the Dauphin,
Schuylkill League and maintains
that there are plenty of players of
high caliber about Millersburg to
maintain team.
The Millersburg management, at
the time of withdrawal, wrote to
President Knauss that the Millers-
burg-Newport game receipts of July
20. amounted to a mere SAT-. 1t was
said to be doubtful if even the two
games with Marysville, scheduled
on August 2, would have been suf-
ticient to cover expenses. In refer
ence to the matter of poor support
the fan writes in part:
Il read his letter to the President
of the league and very much resent
his accusing the fans of not support
ing the club. This is a willful false
hood and an injustice to the fan
pupllc who never failed to support
the club in q liberal way. Past
records show that this town has al
ways supported n team. During the
existence of the league before the
war. with u tail-end team, the town
made name for itself by the way it
stood by the club. At the revival
of the league this spring, quite a
nice sum was subscribed by the bust
ness men of the town. I attended
all the games and know that the
attendance was not at fault for the
action taken by the managem ent." -"
No complaint of poor patronage was
made in Millersburg, according to
the fam.
In reference to the injury and de-
sertion of players, the fan writes:
