This denial, and the denial of Mr. Corey's letter, was evidently made by the Home-toad management because It preferred to reply upon the Indefinite conversation that had passed between Mr. Church and Dr.

man bus gained mule than 5 yards straight away this fall. As to individual play every one of the VV. Sr J. players came up to expectation. Little Pete Edwards, at left end, was in the play In old time form and Clark Stroniz distinguished himself two or three times by failing on fumbled balls.

McMahon's sore ankle handicapped him somewhat in running but he took the ball from halfback for good distances several time3. Haves was also put back and did as well 'as MeMahon. White and Mc.Mahon on one side of the center and Rose and Hayes oa the other side had little trouble to push tlieir opponents out of the way and that was the reason that W. J. so often re sorted to plunges through the line.

The visiting team was not so well srtt-soned as W. J. and had to lay out opener until it could recover. Cummins, F.dmundson and Witherspoon did the best work for Westminster, but the many fumbles 'prevented any strong ground gaining. Capt.

Edmundson, of Westminster, won tlie toss und chose the west goal, with a slight wind blowing on their backs. Me-Ciure, for V. sent tlie ball spinning to Cameron, the full-back, whom Aiken downed a pretty tackle on the 211-yard line. After some bad fumbling W. J.

Iicdule. a game with V. C. A. C.

on election day. The above are not our only reasons. Karlv in the spring we learned that one of the H. L. A.

C. football committee, through personal Influence, endeavored to induce Die Pittsburg Athletic company to break Its agreement to h-ae Kxpueitlon park to I). C. A. C.

This was also attempted hv the same person in lMHb That injury to W. C. ft A. C. Is contemplated, we have amide proof, boasts being freely made that the disruption of the I).

C. A. C. would be accomplished this season. The same boasts and the same dark-lantern methods were pursued toward P.

A. C. In by the same parties, who were In control of the D. A. C.

football affairs during that season, end were then ex-members of P. A. C. P. A.

C. found to their sorrow that their mistake lay in dcalinrr with this management In any manner whatsoever and with this lesson before us, L. C. A. committee have resolved to avoid them entirely.

In this connection, it might be well to state that the board of directors of IMPS, of which the writer hud the honor of being a member, requested a statement of the status of affairs, and were Informed that the football committee had made the lease for Exposition park In personal terms and also u'l contracts with the players in the same milliner, and that if they', the board of directors, did not like the situation, the team would be run by the members of the committee us an independent oppi nizati' n. Another proof of the Intent to work Injury to D. C. A. regardless of ex-pi use.

was a statement enianaiing from the IJ. 1.. A. published 111 our daily paints some time ago, of the Intention to plav a free name el' football at Sehen-b-y park on Thanksgiving day. It would be hard to credit this intention as one of pure philanthrophy hi the matter of sports, from the gentlemen back of the IL A.

C. It Is fact that the foot ha 1 1 operations of tlie 1). C. and A. C.

have been conducted at, a loss for the past two years, and In spite of this fact the Homestead management, with a high-priced team, has decided to reduce the admission fee to one-half the usual amount, a thing that is hard to reconcile with the declaration of the same people when connected witli 1). C. and A. C. in ISPS und published In the morning papers on Thanksgiving day.

that the rice of admission would be raised to SI for tin; game on that day, as the management would prefer to entertain 4.01 ut eorle at Ifl er head to people at 50 cents. We have maintained that honesty and fair dealings are some of the requisitions for sportsmanlike conduct, and it is lo uphold these -i rinoiplcs that we have taken our position toward Homestead L. A. and not from fear of any defeat. I).

C. and A. C. lias been defeated during Its career, and survived tlie unpleasantness, and no fear of such occurrence I world deter us from meeting any oppo nent. Thanking you for the use of your valuable columns, and trusting that our games will merit the same approval from the public season that they have in the past.

In answer to the general demand for a game between Homestead's all-star team and Duip'esne's crack eleven, Chairman iMiwnes, of 1). C. A. football committee, made the following Mtatement last To tlie Editor of the Press: There has boon a gnat deal of comment on the position taken by the U. C.

A. management in ngard to play-Inji a game with the Homestead L. A. C. team.

It has been the desire of the committee to avoid any newspaper controversy, H8 such a course is one in which cither party may make or deny charges, and the public Pas no way to detirmine tile veracity of Hindi statements. Resides, we have considered that such course is rn iincr interesting to the public or dignified in the participants. W'e have rt-fiained, hereuduro, from such a course, but. there has been so much adverse comment that we now believe some slntement is due the members of the I). C.

A. C. and the general public. We Put fore ask pi imistj.iui to lay a full statement In fore the public through your columns, nrd r.ll'iw it 10 pass judgment upon our position. Pi.irly in the spring a proposal was submit ted to Or.

C. Tiiis letter was written in unison with a number of others to other opus, in the endeavor to make 1111 schedule. Some Manager Church, time after its receipt of Homestead, repeated tne proposition in regard to players and thated that if Information was given him as to what players we hail approached the H. L. A.

C. management would re frain from dealing with them. Poring this conversation Pr. Jackson made a proposition that Homestead receive per cent of tlie gate receipts for a game on election day, which proposition Mr. Church saiii he would place before his committee, hut was convinced they would refti.se to consider it, and with tiie matter resting in this position I'.

C. it A. C. committee carried Homestead L. A.

A. C. team, promising to pay him an ad-' ditionnl sum he signed tiie Homestead 1 contract. This was done in violation of the agreement made by the H. L.

A. C. representatives, they having fail know- edge of our dealings witli Winstein and 1 others. Through this means we found I that is was some disgruntled ex-members of the P. C.

A. C. that were back of I the H. A C. After acquiring this information, a let- tor was received by l'r.

Jackson from Mr. Corey, asking for 4u ptr cent of the receipts for a game between H. L. A. C.

and P. A. C. on election day. Ilr.

Jackson exhibited this letter to the committee, asking what disposition to make of it, ami was Instructed to disregard it entirely, as our negotiations with Homestead were broke:) off. That this letter v. is written has been denied by the H. L. A.

C. and a request was by them, for a copy of same, which our committee untonunntely cannot comidv with at this time, as considerable mail matter was mislaid during the summer and tills letter nas among it. i W'liile these matters were transplrinir. 1 Mr. John Gammons, who had accepted our mis bv letter under date of April 1 wrote Pr.

Jackson asking how strongly we considered him round. I'loti 1 if. 1 Jae'isoii's repivlng to Mr. Gammons lhat he had accepted our terms, and would have the matter ti Mr. Gammons' ideas of honor as to whether he sheuid keep.
