Dear"Phog";

Yours of the I5th inst at hend and
you did write me on the 23rd of June relative
to the Texas Univ. and 5.M.U. games and also
concerning the Okla.A.& M. games December 9th
and [Oth at Stillwater and February 9th at Law-
rence.

As to the Texas games "Phog" I did
not discuss them with you for the reason that
I did not know whether or not there would be
a base ball Rules Committe meeting the coming
fall when there will be an annual joint session
of the two Major Leagues.

This meeting will start at noon Dec.
I3th in New York City and in all likelihood I
will be back here at that time. If it so develops
that the part of the work that I will have to do
can be done at another time---previous to that
date----that will not be decided until after the
Worlds Series so you see that the best way for
me to do so as not to disappoint anyone would be
to just let these dates slide even tho you know
that I appreciate your consideration of me in the
matter in a way that words can't express and I want
you to know that I am always mindful of your very
kind thoughts of me in the matter of my work.

I do hope that my not accepting these
dates this winter,in Texas,will not operate against
my serving you when the games are played next winter
at Lawrence. The Rules Committe hasn't met for seven
years and likely will not meet for sometime again
after this year.

In the matter of the Oklahoma Aggie dates
namely; December 9th and 10th at Stillwater I have
been asked by Iba to serve in the two Kansas games
but no date mentioned; I'll be at Lawrence the 9th
of February. Thanks:

I saw the three dates listed somewhere
when I was out west the latter part of May and I
just jotted them down.
