But t he article in last night’s Atom has put a damper on the affair, and it in now more than likely that Delphi peoplen | will stay home.The chief complaint of the Nrws isprofessionalism* Now of all the foot* ball teams in Indiana Attica should t bo the last to complain on this score. lt;Last year they played Deardorf all e season, and paid him well for his ser* 4 vices. When they played here Del-r phi raised a vigorous protest against him, but Attica refused to play with-I out him, and the Delphi management0 gave in. The home team was de-s feat.*1 by a score of 16 to 0, This t year thjy brought the sorrel-topbully agaiu aud paid him to come, and aside from this they had another outside player. Since the first of the season on account of accidents Del-1 phi has lost Milroy, Rhine, Wason, r Roach, Dee ter, Polleys, Cartwright, f Arnott aud Rhinehart. After the f* game at Rensselaer the team v\;»sbadly crippled, but decided to go a ahead with the advertised Attica / game. Disappointed in some of their r players, the home team were com*11 pel lei 1 to secure outsiders, ami when they went on the field Thursday, like ^ | Attica, they had one player who did not belong to the team.I | The News also stated that they were not properly entertained and could not get enough to eat. We areI | not so positive as to the latter proposition: one Miing is certain, however, some of them got enough to drink.II As to their entertainment, some of them went to a dance given in their honor, while others went to tin* band recital in th opera house. They were acco npanied to the depot, and Delphi was not aware when they left but that Attica would still remember Delphi for her sociable features.For the benefit of the A Vic* werI will hay that as its editor left at 7 o’clock it is more than likely hi* usual good nature was imposed upon f and riled up by misinformation re-I ceiled from some of the kickers who remained later.Manager Wason has written to Manager llihleorand asking if the Attica team endorses the News article. But, as the small boys sang in the streets“They lout the Kmne mul it mu le em »iik! Attieu. Attiou, run homeU V*The Att ica News made a very decided mistake in its assaults on our people. Our lioys had just coiuplet * ed arrange meats for a special t rain to Attica on Tuesday when Frankfort played with Attica, but their indignation at the misrepresentation of the News caused them to cancel all arrangements and onr oue hundred people remained at home. It would have been far better if they had accepted their drubbing like men.The terms of the congressman recently elected do not begin till next March. The first regular session of the new congress will not convene ’till December, 1897. This is called the long session and unusually lasts from five to six months. The second or short session begins in December 1898 and lasts less than three months, ending March 4, 1899. The question of a special session being called shortly after thej inauguration of President Me-e Kinley is still inyOiVed in doubt.e Frankfort could ouly beat Attica 4 to 0. Delphi did the same thing on their grounds. On our grounds we put it over them 12 to 0. This puts Delphi aud Frankfort on equal terms, each huving defeated AtticafluFIw I lie t*»ex Itieheofamdieed00!A |Fa ihoiMn«SboT|,i*I 11mOutCuehissOuihi-.lt; liltA InrtiiTheMuf l3 «iM1lilt* . l IKforiuseas i11)01thait wrnoiiuAircurdr«as iforinbwincar me wai kot to Iofbillriii,thrpin a in wil BefillChwh“\\is roftioiter;Be,1meElllariamll HIThCO IpalIa vatwitThpatjnbwo I forIy by the same score.
