EAGLE PILOT SAYS
 THOMASTON HAS
 NO KICK COMING
Lynch Trying to ''Run'' League Halpin Claims;
 'OlsOn" Not Paid


 That the Naugatuck Valley Base- ball league is fast becoming filled with more protests in regard to it's games that it could possibly take care of, due to the attitude of Manager Harry Lynch of the Thomaston Kaceys is the point to-. a letter from Manager Thomas "Packy" Halpin, who comes out with few things in his own de- fense, following charges that ho played Johnny Jablonowski under the named of "Olson" which is not denied though Halpin, insists that "Olson" did not get cent for his services.
 Terryville Angle.
 At any rate, here's the Terry vile angle on the blowoff in the Valley league:
 Sports Editor of The Democrat:
 Terryville. July 18th.
 A fast one pulled by Harry Lynch, manager of the Thomaston Kacey's, who remarks if you can not play ball my way, will not play. I will (protest)," new name which he has given the Nau- gatuek Valley league circuit, (pro- test league).
 Manager Lynch has protested the game which his team played in Terryville; the one in which the Terryville Eagles played in Thom- aston. He also caused protest in the game played with the Water- vile nine in Thomaston by telling the umpire or arbiter what decis- sions to call or make which re- a,,I s,. vUatnr- vile. He also played July 18th in Watertown league scheduled game which Watertown has taken on protest for using non-listed players. That makes four protests he has been in up to date.
 From appearances 1t looks like Lynch is endeavoring to run the Valley league, but can not, but can run a Protest league"
 Won But Kicked.
 The game that he protested in Terryville was won by the Kaceys and at the following meeting of the Naugatuck valley officials and managers. which was held three weeks later in Watertown, Mana ger Halpin of the Eagles brought up the protest of Lynchs and it was decided that 1t had not been brought to the league for action, according to the league rules, Terryville would have won the protest that Manager Lynch isuued in Terryville. Lynch had the rules changed to read his way and had them dated back one month to the start of the league.
 In regards to the statement that the league would not grant him the use of Knox for pitcher. he is all wrong. The league could not grant him the use of Knox be- cause his name was on Manager Freddie Frazier's list and he had played in one game with Water vile.
 The Thomaston Kaceys played Washington Hills twice last week and were defeated both times, I wonder. if he protested those games"
 o. K. For "Olson." There was not 8 fast one" put over at all by Manager Halpin. He presented his players names that they played under and was accepted by the league meeting in Watertown. Manager Lynch had his chance. He had the league secretary, Leo Conway present the player that he wanted. As far al double crossing goes and a fast one at that, Lynch had it all arranged for himself on his protest against the Eagles with the Waterville and Oakville managers, who also had a protest to be acted on at the recent meeting. He had seen Man. ager Frazier and had told him that if he would vote with him, (Lynch) against Terryville, that he would vote with Frazier against Oakville. He had made the same arrangement with Oakville, stating that if their manager would vote with him against Terryville that he would vote against Waterville, but before the Thomaston-Terry vile protest came up he left the meeting.
 Manager Lynch in his statement asserted that Terryville used professional player, but his atten- ton is called to the fact that Francis Speed" Conway who play ed with Hartford, Winsted, Bristol he received pay for his services, making him a professional.
 The reason why Conway left the Kacey's was due to the fact tha: he could get more for playing in Waterbury. Olson did not receive one cent for playing with the Eagles, he being a member of the Terryville Aerie of Eagles which is backing the local team in the Naugatuck Valley league. THOMAS HALPIN, Manager.
