By “Noiey"
It seams to be right in tune
with the times to take a crack at
Nosey through letters being writ
ten nearly every day now. I
guess I’ll have to take It, after
all of the ‘preaching” I’ve been
doing. Some people get the idea
I’va been writing some of these
letters into myeelf—that's where
they’re wrong because I have the
letters to prove they were sub
mitted by other persons.
Apparently there was an aw
ful bail-up in arrangements yes
terday, when it became known
the Commercials were seeking a
postponement of their game with
the Alaskans due to injuries to
their players. Now it’s all agreed
for two women’s games to be
played tonight, and I hear re
ports some of the women play
ers don’t seem to like this latest
arrangement any too well.
I got a letter today signed

“A Woman Player” which threat-:
ened “disciplining" if Nosey got
as gay with the women’s games
as he does with the men’s ser
ies. The letter went on to stay
numerous things which could not
be included in this column with
i
out the identity of the writer of
the letter being known. ‘Take a
tip from me", it read, "don’t try
to pull off any of those sarcast
ic remarks about the women
players which have appeared at
different times about numerous
players in the men’s league. I’m
almost certain who Nosey is, and
I’ll take a chance on my judg
ment being right, if I’m forced to
pay you a "social" call, to furth
er inform you that you’d better
go easy on the women—they are
a tough lot to ’monkey’ around
with when you get them mad,"
as ever "A Woman Player."
Lady you have my greatest re
spect. Don’t think Im going to
monkey around the women—I
can’t afford to.
I have a nice little tip which
I picked up this morning on to
night’s games. It says the married
women will be snowed under in
tonight’s game, and that the
High School Girls will be victors
in their game. I’m not bettin’ on
it exactly, but from all reports of
