BREHM IS ATTACKED IN LETTER WRITTEN FROM CENTERVILLE

George Brehm. president of the Suburblan Baseball league, is attacked and blamed for the withdrawal of the Centerville team from the league, in a letter received from James W. Morgan, manager of the Centerville team. Mr. Morgan writes : "Our action is based entirely upon the unfair and unwarranted action of President George Brehm. Early In July the Eldorado team was to make a trip to our town for a game but on account of lack of funds, Mr. Sullivan, of the Centerville team oollol tin VAnraAn Ytefftrp thev

left home and notified them that we I could not play them. At the first meet- j fnsr nf tVitt rvfflnlala rt t)iA lenorue. E!dO-t

rado did not claim that the game should be forfeited to them but that Centerville should pay them $15 expense money and the president ruled that they could not hold the new management cf the Centerville club responsible for the money. "Within the next three days the new management of the Centerville club went to the president and explained to him that they were willing to go to Eldorado on Labor Day and play the game which was to have been played at Centerville. He was in accord with this proposition and he himself wrote to Eldorado concerning the proposition and the management of the Centerville team also wrote to Eldorado offering the same thing. No reply was received from them and we knew of no action being taken on the matter until we read in Monday evening's Palladium that he game had been forfeited to Eldorado. We went to Mr. Brehm upon hearing this and demanded an , explanation and he gave us the startling Information that the game had teen awarded to Eldorado at the meeting in July when they had claimed the $15 expense money." "Wat Awarded In July." When' Mr. Brehm was asked If he ari nnvthinr in r&v regarding the

letter and Its accusations, he said that

- he did not know the Centerville ciud was ignorant of the fact that the game referred to had been awarded Eldorado, but that it had been awarded sometime in July. vrn Kikonherrv. manager of the El

dorado club, supported this statement Viv Mr TirphTri. when asked about it.

and produced the letter dated July 21.

As to the standing of tKe league showing the awarding of games, Mr. Brehm said that he did not publish league standings and that if the standing did not show that the game in question was awarded Eldorado, it was probably due to a mistake made by Secretary Kerlln. When asked why he wrote to Eldorado for a game with Centerville on Labor Day, when the game had already been given Eldorado, he said, "It is nothing to me who wins. I have no favorites. But I thought that if Eldorado wished to play that game as an accommodation to Centerville, I would do what I could to bring them together." Wants A New President. Mr. Morgan in concluding his letter writes that the Centerville team will stand ready to stay in the league under a new president and with the disputed game to be played, now, on neutral ground. It is not known what action will be taken.

Retail prices in the opinion of the federal reserve board, will decline slightly during the coming fall and winter months and will slump next spring to still lower levels. Summarizing recent changes in the prices of various commodities, the board in a report last night said that "saving afforded by manufacturers through lessened cost of materials and Increased efficiency of labor must eventually be reflected in a downward movement of retail prices." Although a general slight slump in retail prices during the next few months was forecast the board was of the opinion that in some lines higher

prices were probable, "due to the fact that purchasers for autumn and winter trade had already been contracted for at the eld level of prices. Change To Be Slow One. Changes in the prices of raw materials, which were reported to have been sharp during the past few weeks, will not show their effect, according to the board, in retail prices until early next spring. The board stated that an "important

downward tendency" in prices of all commodities except food has been evidenced throughout the country, the reduction in prices of raw products having been especially marked. This general lowering of the price level, it was believed, indicates a probable drop in food prices during coming months.
