Dear Doc:

I returned to my deskthis morning to find your
good letter. It came while I was out on a three-day
trade trip with some of the members of the Jobbers and
Manufacturers League.

It was good to have an account of the team. Yes,
our boys are big from ‘tackle to tackle and plenty dumb,
but this ball club will be in somebody's bowl next year.
They have too much talent on the loose not to click.

You are quite right about Kansas's exceptionally
nice showing.

Doc, I am quite certain you have been given some
unfortunate information with reference to the 0.G.&H.'s
connection with Tucker. These folks are pretty good
boosters, but not in the proselyting business, They
furnish some 0. C. U. boys jobs but do not take care of
any of Tom or Bruce's kids. |

THis company is headed by J. F. Owens, President, and
a former Iola school teacher and their local division
manager is Glenn C. Kiley, one of Doc. Meanwell's boys.
The writer had Kiley at one of our K.U, Luncheons and he
has been a very fine admirer of yours.

I hope we can straighten out this tangle to your
and their satisfaction.
