here's a message concerning tn
state championship which arrive
from Harry Grant, mana
ger of Southside- Eden:
"After reading Johnny Brady's
letter to "The BattleaSe" re-
aardlna championship talk,
can hardly be expected 70 re-
main on the sldelines as Just a
dlsinterested reader. Every one
knows that our team is out for
the title Of State Champions and
we are going along smoothly
without newspaper talk and
winner take a ~ propositions
working In that direction.
know that am we'll supported
by the sporting public Of VIII
mincton In the assertion that we
are making rapid strides toward
attaining this purpose. In addl-
tlon our record speaks for Itself.
We kept on playing after the
Wilmington disbanded, with
the same team that was entered
In that circuit.
BRADY says his team won the
All. Wilmington pennant. Not by
a luqful. OF course he won the
first half. but that Is not win
ming the pennant for that cannot
be won until the full season and
post-season series are played.
"lt looked like a very poor
chance for Mr.. Brady, as at the
time the league disbanded no
more ptayers could be signed by
the teams In the All Wilmington
League. only men that we're al
ready under contract would have
been eligible TO play In the post
season series. From the looks Of
his ciu1 the chances are very
slim for Brady.
~ am not writing this with
the view OF getting into a series
with ParlSslde, for we do not
Include disbanded teams In our
list and I don't think the pub
lie does either.
