Helen CHIEF TOPIC II iS VYOMING LEAGUE TEAMS AHGE SERIES SCHEDULE Editor GaseMe have, repeatedly read in your oftball column of the abuse' to which Charles McCarthy has been subjected. When, Where and how he waa abused mystifies me. After a careful perusal of all the controversial statements submitted to your paper both by the Blandina team and myself. can find no terms more abusive than 'surprising' and. Surely Mr.

McCarthy's' quivering sensibilities can withstand such mild excoriation. In truth, the Merchants' League can justly claim for, though we have been most considerate In verbal duels with Mr. McCarthy, hi remarks have been saturated with, an acidulous, un sportsmanlike derision. Retaliation would only engender a bitterness that should be foreign to amateur sports; ergo, we have confined ourselves al ways to a clear cut statement of facts. There have been no scurrilous remarks, no 'veiled no pussy footing' on our part.

Blandina's will play the league leading team in the Industrial League. No others. Allardyce's et al. can prove their vaunted superiority by calling any of the following: Cameo Club 873 Kllmavich Fairlawn 271; Jake's Barber Shop 872; Stanley's Cafe 9012 or Glennon's 77. May I ask, in closing, that should any games be arranged, that the vet eran Industrial League, athletes refrain from ridiculing such 'promising youngsters' as Frank Redington, BUI Da vies, Jake Kllmavich, 'Sandy' Sa dusky, Joe Pilkonls or John Kishkis to mention a few.

Their tender years and lack of competitive experience might lead to nervousness and a consequent 'blowing Remember men you are playing boys and no one well versed in Postlana will abuse an Inferior. Yours very truly, MICHAEL MILLER, President, Merchants' League. Triangles Maligned Editor Gazette: An article in your paper yesterday stated that a team from the Merchants' League had been successful in beating our softball team. Just to keep the records straight I wish to inform you that this is our first year in the. Indus tnai League and we have not played any games with outside teams.

It seems to me that the letter writer must have had a dream or else he has a vivid imagination. However, if they want to play ball, instead of levelling uncalled for attacks on our president, Charles A. McCarthy, they can easily arrange a game by replying through the Gazette columns. MDXE D1MAGGIO, Mgr. Triangle Shoe Store Team.

Another Nation Heard From Editor Gazette: We have read the softball stories appearing in your paper and are Interested in the possibility of a game between Blandina's of the Merchants' League and our team, which is in the West Park League. We feel that our league Is on a par with the Merchants' League and, after we dispose of Blandina's, we should then go on and play the giants of softball, namely, the Industrial Soft Ball League leaders. We go in a large way for "Big Horssflys" and "Jack The Giant Killers." In addition our dads always teH us bedtime stories when it is time to retire. Come on you fellows from the Soft Ball Talkathon, lets have a game. Yours for better and harder soft ball.

JUNIOR McGUIRE, Mgr. West Park League Champs. P. 8. Some of the members of our team are wondering if, when Presi dent McCarthy related about th noraeiiy ne reierrea to tne genus Taoanus Lineola, of the brachycerous dipterous sualn or the more annoy ing Hippobosca Equina, commonly known as horse tick.

We would an predate if he were a little more ex pilcit in the future. We are making notes on the Talkathon Derby for use in our school work this fall and win ter. Editor Gaaette: We are now thor oughly convince! that our fellow soft bailers, of the Industrial League, do not concentrate enough on their new6' paper reading to get the full mean ing out of the articles. We say tfiis because, we are having challenges thrown at us left and right by the cellarites of this said loop. If we aren't badly mistaken our article stated that we will play the teams up near the attic and not the big bad strong teams that are holding the league up such as the Baldinl and Bachelor club out fits.

We noticed that the Bachelor club stated in your reliable paper that all this talk the Blandina team has been putting into circulation is getting them nowhere. Well we. We Blandina team, retaliate upon that statement, Mr. Bachelor Club, by stating: "the reason, we are not going to play you is that your playing got you nowhere fast." As for our good friend Nelson Robertson, we don't know what to make out of his recent article, saying (now that we have won the lead in this Industrial League he would appreciate our arrangement of a game with his team namely iMcGarry, so as to get them in trim for the play offs). Dear Nelson, are sorry to inform you, as long at you don't know yourself, that you are far, far away from the league lead whio'i still belongs to Moran Walsh's Cigar Store.

We also want to retaliate on that statement thrown at us about all our newspaper bragging. Dear Industrial League Managers, we are only answering your challenges as a. matter of courtesy. Hoping we will hear from no team the Industrial organization below second place. Yours with lots of Sportsmanship, BLANDINA'S TEAM.
