a meeting at their treasn' er's = pm,
81. North (Cplrmbus street. There
will: be a lot of changes made at this
and would like to see Z very
Triangle 3present: Refreshments, viii
De served, after the meeting.
We. noticed in Mondays Gazette
etlf the Virg.iillsia Nlittgets had right
much to say about our club. We
wish ito say that we would rather
have them tell it to US than to- the
editor. I'VE publish our:cEub news in
! the paper fand nothing; else. This
,elu is a club that holds records in
fair play, and we changed the name
Of our club, for. teh reason: not
because NE were beaten by the Vir-
GINA Miagets; with a heavier team,
but that we have different class Of
boys in this club than in any other
club before
:. This club has nothing to do with
the clubs before and We think that
the Triangle Sport Club can hold
the record in every sport they play
which will be shown through the
-sesson.
= Having read in. the Gazette last
:l.giit. take great pleasure in tel
Ting the Virginia iMidgets that they
have never changed our name ard
never will be able to do so.
II the year 1918, l myself, Horace
Edv. Howard, organized the Dread
naroht Juniors.
n. football year 1921, Mr.. l.. E.
Roadhouse offered US his services as
coach, and we accepted.
AS to the victt ry claimed by Viz
pirl Midgets, it is incorrect, for
curing the entire season no game was
scheduled with the Virginia NJ. A.
c., and cannot see how they can
claim it as victory.
What made US change or name
frrrn Dreadnaueht Juniors TO De-
stroyeas' Jr., was because We joined
the Destroyers so we could have a
hau to play basketball in.
When the Virginia M!dgets played
us there wasn't half cur players on
hand. due TO the fact that the Vir-
gil "a Midgets had fooled US three
times about getting the Armory.
Gre of the players absent was
Pill Pe.iitt, one Of the fast junior
amateur basketball guards in Vr-
GINA. julian Dawes who always
plaved with Bill could not show all
his ability as a guard, because he
had been used to playing with Bill
in al games and was not use to any
'oth"r players.
Petit and Davis were only two
rua@aSts snf- ALWAYS sworked 'tala
rethcr and could not play with
other players.
AS TO BASEBALL, I myself, win
write to the Virginia Mkigets and
let them know when we want to play
We play when we please and who
we please, and we are particular
who we play, and may not play
them at all in h:.eball.
As to their world famed batteries,
they are twice as large as our play
ers and are not Virginia Alidsets at
ali but Virginia A. c. players.
l, myself, think they should be
ashamed TO play with such little
kids unless they get money for it,
and we have no players on our team
that play for money.
We not only defeated the Virginia
Nidgets in baseball, basketball and
.scot, all, but we also defeated them
With TIE girls and forced them to
form girls club also. Al girls
who signed the pledge to become
members, are girls whom none Of
our boys would go with, or those
thu never did belong to OR club.
Virginia Midgets we will let you
En1w when we want TO PLAY you as
y have said before, / am, Manager,
ano will give you a game when ]
