Hello Edd: How is the old boy feeling? Get that arm of
yours into shape and we will clean up in anything in
Michigan. What about coming down here the 29th of this
month? Wish you could. Will show you a good time. Talk to
Rosa and a few of the other Shelby sports and get them
started. just got back from a 2 day trip to Adrian and
Hillsdale so I am all in today. We won from Adrian 5-0. The
game with Hillsdale was called off on account of rain. Hope
to see you on the 29th. Answer.

Hello Hop! Our second team has no game for Sat. Nov. 20,
will you use your influence with Mr. Yost to see if he will
not play us. Our team is not awfully heavy & wouldn't
disable any of his men. I think it wouldn't be a harder
game than the Notre Dame game was. How's biz? Sincerely,
"Bark"
