Dear Phog:

In your last note I noticed that one of the players
is the son of "Boots™ Adams. I have had a very
pleasant relationship with Boots, and it occurred

_ to me that if you would like to make the arrangements,
you might write to Boots, suggesting that if he was
in New York at the time of your game, he would be
on hand to toss up the first ball.

I happen to know that Boots is in New York about

once a month, and it might be possible for him to
time his next trip to coincide with your game here,

I thought the suggestion would be better coming from
you first of all, since it would need your approval,
and secondly that Boots is a very enthusiastic Kansas
man, and as such it might help your situation, and
keep his interest in things at Kansas alive.

Everything looks very favorable for a successful
season here. We opened the Service Tournament last
night, and despite extremely bad weather, andthe

fact that it was a Monday during the football season,
we had: over 7,500 people on hand. The finals will be
played Wednesday, and we should do considerably better
then, if it ever stops raining.

Sincerely

fad
