Dear Sir-According to the

. South Side-Eden with whom IL
. has a game on Saturday. What
Is the idea?
Now we are not claiming that
. Parkside is afraid Of us. We are
. acquainted with their record.
. But what makes us sore Is the
. fact that their manager. RED"
Volkman spent a couple OF hours

. lowed us the courtesy TO give us
. notice that he has dropped the
. game What kind OF sportsman
. ship do you call that? Pretty
rotten, we say.
. This sort Of attitude surely Is
. not for the good Of sport.
Outside Of the common
courtesy he failed 70 show us,
he has left US in a hole for a
game on Saturday. And another
thing. we obtained a permit
from the Park Board for the
use Of the field at Fourth and
Church streets for this game,
thereby depriving some other
eleven from playing there. Now.
. no doubt the field will be vacant
II Parkside decided that be-
cause Of our record we would
not be a drawing card. they
should have said so. Even at
that we believe we could draw
as well, if~not better than an
out-of town team. We are not
ashamed Of our club. We can't
