Many of the boxers. who today
won't go on for less than a tempta-

of that amount. They even used to

Bagdad, Fla, Sept. %, 1920

Editor Pensacola Journal:
In your issue OF the 21st inst, ap-
pears a communication signed Milton
Baseball Boosters in which they at
tempt to show that the article in Sun
day Journal giving a summary of the
games played between the Milton and
Bagdad clubs was incorrect.
The following are the facts: Milton
played five or six games with a scrub
team of Bagdad boys prior to the or
ganization OF the regular Bagdad team
and we understand won all of the
games. This took place in May and
possibly early June.
The organization of the Bagdad team
took place in June after the return Of
John Shepard from college (Mr. Shep-
ard being captain of the Bagdad tean.)
From the date of organization to the
close of the season a total of twelve
or thirteen games were played be-
tween Milton and Bagdfd and Milton
managed to win only one game from
Bagdad during the season.
AS to the tie game on August Z, we
(modestly )refrain from comment, but
if Milton Boosters find any consola-
ton in that game all we have to say
is welcome.
Yours very truly,
