Newsy Lalonde stated that there was no truth in the story that he was dealing with both Cornwall-and Na- mid, biome 577 tionals, without letting the other know it. According to his story he wag told by one of the directors of the/ Nationals that he would have no trouble in securing his release from the French c¢lub and was ad- vised to go A ig and take charge of the team for the good of the game. On his return' he was] told that he could not get his re-| lease, which killed the Cornwall deal.
