But thearticle in last night’s Nmv* haw put adamper on the affair, ami it is now more thati likely that Delphi people will stay home.The chief complaint of the New* is professionalism. Now of all the football teams in Indiana Attica should be the last to cornplaiu 011 this score. Last year they played Deardorf all season, and paid him well for his services. When they played here Delphi raised a vigorous protest against him, but Attica refused to play without him, and the Delphi management gave in. The home team was defeat ad by a score of 16 to 0. This year thay brought the sorrel-top bully again aud paid him to come, and aside from this they bad another outside player. Since the first of the season on account of accidents Delphi has lost Mil roy, Rhine, Wason, Roach, Deeter, Holleys, Cartwright, Aruott and Rhinehart. After the game at Rensselaer the team was badly crippled, but decided to go ahead with the advertised Attica game. Disappointed in some of their players, the home team were compelled to secure outsiders, and when they went on the field Thursday, like Attica, they had one player who did not belong to the team.The News also stated that they were not properly entertaiued and could not get enough to eat. We are not so positive as to the latter proposition: one Uiing is certatu, however, some of them got enough to drink. As to their entertainment, some of them went to a dance given in their honor, while others went to the baud recital in th opera bouse. They were aceo npanied to the depot, anil Delphi was not aware when they left but that Attica would still remember Delphi for her sociable features.For the benefit of the AVirs we will r.ay that as its editor left at 7 o'clock it is more than likely he usual good nature was imposed upon and riled up by misinformation received from some of the kickers who remained later.Manager Wason has written to Manager liildeoraud asking if the Attica team endorses the Nrws article.
