Dear Glen:

Rotary Club to game of baseball
to be played at the baseball park at
6 o'clock Friday August IL, 1921.
We not only accept your defy, we
welcome it with all its stipulatiOns,
conditions and limitations.
It is difficult for an intelligent
man to understand why you should
labor under the mistaken belief that
any of your members even know
how the great American game
should be played, and if you don't
hack out between now and the time
set, this belief is due for rude
jolt.
If you will trOt out on Friday
evening, your collection of cr0ckery,
glass and ivory exhibitors, we will
demonstrate to the entire satisfac.
tiOn of yourself, your members and
the public at large that your belief
is but deluded dream.
1t will be your painful duty, at
your regular Monday luncheon next
week, to break the sad news (men-
toned in your challenge) to your
members that Rotary" means
''rOut".
We will proceed with the slaugh-
ter at 6 sharp Friday, as per sched-
ule. Don't weaken!
Most sincerely and m0destly
yours,
Sam Morgan, President.
