Mr. Ray Noble
Box 214 ~~
Ottawa, Kansas

I received your special delivery letter this morning, in which you requested
that I do all I could in securing e job for you in this Company.

I am sorry not to have answered your first letter, but I have been out of
town and have not had the opportunity to do so.

Pralle and I had a long telk with Schmitty this morning and he called Mr. Adams
with reference to you. It was very favorable for you to come with this Com-
pany, but as we have hired five new ball players and hed to retire Browning
about two weeks ago, because we had too many ball players, it made it imposs-
ible for them to consider airing you this year.

I do wish that I could do something for you, but this year, ‘otipianaday at this
time, it is more impossible to help you in securing the job. Pralle and I
had hoped that we could get you down here because we have all had so much fun

playing ball together.

We start our practice next Tuesday, and I think that we are going to have a
good team this year. With the men gone, we should have lots more hustles
