Allen, Phys. Ed. Dir. University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Mr. Allen: We are sorry to delay replying to your letter of April 11 so long, but we apparently have the information which was not available a day or two ago. The No. A598, which we furnished you, is not the official plate for softball. This was shown on the bid which we submitted to the University, but perhaps this bid did not come to your attention. During the last year, this particuler plate, which we have always carried as a home plate for softball, was declared unofficial by the Softball Rules Committee. The only official plate, which we have for softball, is our No. A198 or A197; also our official plate for hardball. “We will be glad to accept the return of these plates if you wish to exchange them for official equipment. However, the price on the A198, the lower-priced official plate, is $6.75. Will you please let us know whether you intend to return these to us for exchange or not? Very truly yours, LOWE & CAMPBELL By La see or CM: NRH
