STAFFORD FANS HAVE KICK.

Sports Editor of Every Evening has
letter which is self-explanatory:
Sports Editor:

with recent article published on your

Beacon Business College Harrington
High School game. The fans here
are ready to concede the game to the
visitors, at the same time taking into
consideration that this club might be
classed as professionals while our
club is comprised of mere school BOYS.
The reporter laid great emphasis on
the stirling quality of pitching handed
out. for the visitors and that he only
allowed three hits. We wish It to be
known that there were at least eight
hits. / was a spectator at the game
and can count this many offhanded
without consulting the score book.
And then he was unsteady, as he is
sued about five bases on balls. Their
reporter also gives the score as being
II TO 4. II / understand the rules
correctly. when any one inning is not
completed and the game is called on
account OF some uncomfortable cause,
the score reyerts back TO the stand
ing at the expiration of the previous
inning which was s to 4. The local
boys had two on the bases when the
deluge Of rain interfered and nobody
out. We want TO congratulate their
coach and club on the manner in
which they played the game.
Yours in sport,
