Salt Lake Tribune | 1905-06-13 | Page 7 | Margetts Explains Troubles

RGETTS EXPLAINS TROUBLES Had Strenuous Experience in Sunday's Sun-day's Game at Park City Sporting Editor Tribune Referring to tho remarks by some member of the Park City Baseball association and published 1n this morning's Issuo of Tho Tribune, regarding tho unsportsmanlike conduct of ono Bert Margetts, captain of tho Railroad ball team, in the gamo played at Park City yesterday. I think the Park City people do mo an Injustice In Bending out a report of this nature Just because I would not stand for a lot of bad decisions de-cisions made by Park City's str Ci umpire, um-pire, they take it upon themselves, through tiio columns of The Tribune, to show mo up In a false litrbt. Any one of an unprejudiced mind who saw the gamo yesterday will bear out my statement that I kicked for only what was rleht During my baseball experience I have never seen a vtalUng team treated as the Railroaders were treated yesterday. Be-Fldes Be-Fldes the many indignities heaped upon the plavors by a certain element In Park City while the team was nt the ball park, tho team, upon lravlns: tho grounds received re-ceived a shower not of flowers, but clods, rocks of nil sizes, and anything the sma'.l boys could pick up. which was allowed by the bystanders, find ono officer who disappeared dis-appeared n9 soon as the bombardment Started and lasted nearly all tho way to our hotel 1 suppose they WOUld have followed fol-lowed us In there If It hadn't been for two k ntlemen tho only two I saw Interfering In-terfering Tho element who perpetrated this outrago on myself and the boys was not representative of tho people of Park Ity, but a bunch of hoodlums who haven't any bettor sense. T am positive that the good people of Park City, who havo a reputation for their hospitality and good treatment, do not and win not approve of this kind of treatment, and 1 only make this statement to put myself right with tho lovers Of clean sport BERT MARGETTS.
