MR. EtIxoR:—Kind] allow os me space
Y P
in your yaluable paper to correct a
statement made by the Grand Bend
correspondent. He states that our
Captain wrote the Bend Captain
the effect that they should not take
any notice to what had appeared in
the papers, as the correspondent is
alone the fray. This I may say is a
downright falsehood, or if so it was
never sanctioned by the team. We
know he is both Captain and Corres-
pondent, therefore we consider where
the foundation of all the trouble lies.
He surely must have forgotten to read
all the card contained. Of course
some object to a game being played for
money from the fact that.it would
cause hard feelings. But I would re-
mind. our nnfriendly scribe that I
ata not ie rnbbered " and .l think
the phrase alight be more aptly
applied to himself. There appeared in
the Expositor of several weeks ago the
first breeze given by the Bend corres-
pondent,togethei' with a $50 challenge
and a great deal of chewing abort not
being satisfied with our teats having
beaten .the Grand Bend team by one
goal. This we had done fairly rand
squarely, not withstanding, the dis-
advantage a our boys were at in regards
the rough grounds which they were so
unused to and the darkness during the
last half of the game. In all fairness
under those circumstances the game
should have been called off.
