Mr. Lee Stanford
Attorney at Lew
Concordia, Sansas

Dear Leet

It seens if I can never catch up on
my correspondences the springtime rolls along,
especially if I coach baseball following my basketball
SCASON. %

I was very buey in the Grapefruit and Lettuce
League telling the people why we didn't win the Championship
outerighte

hen your letter came, if we had had available
people, I would have wired you or dropped you @ note. But,
each day I would postpone the letter thinking I would write
you @ letter of greeting as well as the answers to the ques-
tions that you desired.

We had only one real good baseball player and
that was Knute Forrest. He is playing with the Iola Ban
Johnson League Team.

I coached the baseball team this year after it
had been held by two other football coaches, neither of .
whom had ever played baseball before and naturally it had
run down considerably. And, although we won more games ~
. than we have in the last five years, we had a week tean,
never-the-liess, comparatively speaking.

Lee, I promise to do better if you write me again.
And if you are in need again, I'll endavor to help you out
more then 1 was able to this time.

With all good wishes, I an,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Bducation
5 and Recreation-Varsity Basketball
FOArre and Baseball Coach.
