Inei-| dentally, a little family wrangle is be- | ing injected into the squabble since | the rival managers, who are so keen on hurling defies at each other, are | brothers. This complicates matters somewhat. Today, Samuel, the Pan-| ther manager, replies to his Celtic| | brother in no uncertain terms and, in | | passing casts some grave doubts as to [ the right of the latter to claim any- | thing resembling first honors in bas- | | ketball. However, read what Sam-| | my says: “Dear Sports Ed.:— | “We were all very much surprised to read the paper last night in regard to a Celtic-Panthers game. In the| first place the Panthers, a strictly { Boys' club team, is deserving of all| the moral support that club members can show them, and instead a bunch of these members go out and pick up | a team and challenge the Panthers. Js | | that their idea of sportsmanship? | “Again, about that great out of | town record that the Celties are talk- | |ing about. They have played two games to date—Ilosing both, The Vie- | |tors of South Manchester defeated {them by a big margin, while the Pan- | | thers beat this same team by a com- | fortable margin, while the other game |that the Celtics lost ended up in » | free-for-all in Southington. Is that a great record? On the contrary the Panthers have played 26 games, win- | ning 24 and losing only two. These | defeats were by the New Britain high | | school seconds and the Ramblers o[,,‘ | South Manchester, composed of South | “Manchoator high scbool players, In! addition to these games the Panthers have played 13 contests in the senior basketball league. Although the | smallest and lightest team entered in | the league they came out in second | place, being beaten out by the Har- | mony Quintet in a sensational hair- | raising play-off me, They finished | ahead of the C 'nts, who hold vie- {tories over the Falcons, Rangers, | Swift & Upson, and many other well | known quintets, | “I"urthermor the Orange and| Black have been accused of playing soft teams, Glancing through our | record books reveals the fact that all | teams that we have defeated are out ! of town teams, containing such names as the Broad A. C. of Hartford, Par- nells of New Haven, Waterbury Boys' | I elub, Jennings A. C. of Bristol, Iro- | quois, Mark Twain (twice), Triangles, Resolutes, Majors and St. Anthon (twice), all of Hartford , and more too numerous to mention, Easy pick- Ings, I guess so. “About the Panthers having seven | | uniforms, I want to state that we only use fivé at a time in a game, The | manager of the Celtics and the Pan-| thers manager are brothers, as !h-v’ | name shows, so that the common | scnse that mother gave to the Celtie | manager is also inherited by the management of the Panthers, I would like to say right now, that most of the | rivalry that exists between these two | teams is because of this relationship, | “In elosing, the Panthers arc \\-m.’ ing to play the Celtics Friday or Sat- urday of this k, or any day but Monday next week, These dates have been offered them and they have re- fused to accept. We will also play the Broad A. C. in a return zuru- which they elaim we are ducking. “Yours in sports, “SAMUEL YAHM, “Manager Panthers.” There's nothMg crude about Ameri. | s interest in Obregon except the oil.—~Associated Editors (Chicago).
