an inch The Chryslers feel that their decision to pull out of the league was based on a matter of principle the league ren on a prior MB STEVENSON Dear Bob This letter will confirm the decision of he Georgetown Chrysler I- team to withdraw from the fastball League pending a satisfactory resolution of our dispute with the League This decision was relayed verbally to Mr Bob Fox at the 1owiille ball park on tug 1070 Our withdrawal from the league was not an easy choke but the position taken by yourself and Dob as executive of league has by In fere race to accuse the Georgetown team of blatant fraud Such is not the case Our position was as simply stated it the meeting on Thursday Aug and till Is the following I Ilea manager the Georgetown Chryslers requested permission from to sign two more players after the signing dale June to replace two platers originally signed but who tailed to show up with the team The only reason for the rrquesl was to avoid defaulting gamei during the vacation period stated that pending concurrence with Bob the request would be granted Gord contacted Mr and received concurrence hence the request was VER BALL granted It was never confirmed In J then Ed and Dave to proper certificate and commenced using them on Friday July 1978 in a game against Hornby Hornby not being aware the concession granted by the league protested the game both on the field and to your office This protest was subsequently disqualified as the proper protest procedure was not followed The players continued to participate throughout the Glen Williams tournament on July In league games against Glen Williams and Palermo on July and Aug respectively with no apparent repercussions from the league your league meeting on Aug the matter was not on the agenda but for the first time admitted In the presence of other team representative that there was a understanding and the league has taken the position that the Chryslers decision to drop out of the league was a team decision and therefore not a league problem The following is a text of a letter sent to the County League from the Georgetown Chryslers disagreement between yourself Bob hoi and Gord ilea an to the terms under which piny en could be added to our roster after unanimous agreement that of the dispute should be an executive decision you allowed a motion from Hornby that essentially reversed the decisions of the Hornby and Palermo games awarding them An amendment to this motion reversing the decisions or all teams who did not have their player list submitted to the league by signing dale win ruled out of order and Im pertinent It was further moved and passed that the brothers could no longer piny for the Georgetown team When Georgetown indicated they would default the game on Aug D due to lack of player It was further allowed that the brother could then play night only and then never again Continued discussion produced a multitude of ridiculous suggestions and continued only to show the vacillation of the The main problem appear to have been In the lack of decisive action immediately after the Hornby protest when It should have been obvious to the executive that there might hate been a misunderstanding But to procrastinate and subsequently force the Georgetown team to lose two games In the committee room that had previously been won on the ball field Is Inex I would have thought that your position as convener would have prompted you to uphold their motto of Play the Game Obviously this is not true In subsequent discussions with Bob Vox It became very obvious there was no basis for forced to take action Therefore the Georgetown Chrysler would like to express appreciation to our avid competitors on the Meld and a special note of appreciation to yourself and Bob as your scandalous treatment of the Georgetown team has done roof than anything file to mold the team Into a cohesive unit and In The Georgetown Legion showed m and fibre of which champions and championships
