Dear Doc,

I am sorry that we were unable to play our double-header in
Kansas City with the service schools. I think that I am
going to play one of the service bases on my way home from
the east, but I certainly would have liked to have been in
the double-header with you in Kansas City.

Who do you think we should use as officials in our games at
Lawrence and Stillwater next year? As I understand it, a
good many of the officials in this section are moving out
because of the service, and it is going to be a lot harder
to find them. Artie Eilers gave me this information at

st. Louis last weekend. I believe we should have two well-
known men in our ball games, instead of working some young
man into this particular series. I think you know about
the group of men that I mean: Parke, Ted, Ab Curtis, These
are the ones that come to my mind right now. Of course,
Gibbs from Springfield is good, but the expense would be a
great deal. I think he is as good an official as you can
get. Should we agree on these officials, or turn our lists
to Artie and Reeves?

Wishing you a happy summer, I am
Sincerely yours,

A fe
