Dear Phog:-

I have been receiving material from your pub-
licity department and have a few pictures, I could use a
few more since we have a great many papers here in the City
proper to service. There are eight daily papers and most
of them will use any pictures that we are able to provide them.

I wonder if you would like to have a practice
court on Friday, December 27th, and if so what time you would
like to practice on the day before the game. There will be
ice in the Garden so it will be outside the Garden, I am
making plans to have the period between the halves of the games
on December 26th available for your team to work out. I ima-
gine that this practice under actual game conditions should
be quite beneficial.

Regarding the inquiry on tickets and other com-
plimentaries. We are in the habit of issuing tickets as re-
quested by the visiting teem. We generally issue ticket re-
quisitions which the players can dispose of so that the tax
is paid by whoever picks up the tickets, On complimentary
tickets for your personal use, we are in the habit of holding
Choice locations and would be glad to accommodate you in the
amount you desire on your arrival. There is no necessity for
your paying for these tickets since it is our custom to do
this with both the local and visiting teams,

In reference to ticket reservations, they will
receive our careful attention and will be glad to hold them
up until 6 o'clock of the day of the game.

If there is any further information we can
furnish, I will be only too giad to send it along.

Would you let us know also the time and station
at which you will arrive.

Sincerely yours,

Bid! Fuck
