DEAR SIR: Messrs. Sears and Cumnock speaking to the Andover Team last fall, offered any man who would come to Harvard and get on their team, their expenses paid through college. I, myself, was absent, but was told by members of our Team, one of whom is now playing on Harvard's team.

SMITH MOWRY."

Also a written statement of R. S. Ammerman of the University of Penusylvania, dated Nov. 25, 1889, as follows:

"Inducements of the character mentioned, a scholarship and pecuniary compensation, a ticket to Boston, etc, were extended to me by a Harvard man early in November to enter the Law School at Harvard and become a member of the Harvard Nine and Football eleven."

Also an extract from a letter of L. D. Mowry, a former Andover player:

"Upton told me that Sears and Cumnock told him and for that matter the whole Andover team that it would not cost them a cent if they would go to Harvard and get on the Team. Joe Dennison told me that Sears said that if he would try for the Team and get on he would see that it did not cost him (J. D.) anything, if it cost Harvard five hundred dollars ($500) it would be all right. They would stand the cost."

Also in a private letter of Mr. Upton's explaining his not coming to Princeton, he says:

"This particular letter is not on hand at present writing, but can be obtained and forwarded."

Further, without stating the evidence concerning Mr. Dean's trip to Europe on the Spalding base ball team, which is probably as well known to you as it is to us. We recommend his case for your consideration.

In addition to this the following letter was received by Captain Ames last spring from Mr. Stickney, who played on the Harvard Eleven this fall. We understand that the Yale Management was similarly approached by this player:

"CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 11, '89.

Mr. AMES,

DEAR SIR: I have been thinking of late of going to Princeton to College. I am tutoring now at Cambridge, with the idea of entering Harvard, and Cumnock thinks I am going to enter sure next year, but they don't seem to want to do much for me. Now I have to have help wherever I go. I saw Bruny Willard the other day and he wanted me to write you he thinks P. is the place to go I have played fast [foot?] ball at Exeter for two years no doubt you have heard of me while I was there I would like to see you and have a talk with you and I take this way of doing it I sold athletic goods while in Exeter and thought it might pay me to take a line of Tennis and Baseball goods etc., and come down there and see you and perhaps make something. Now I would like to start Monday night and get there Tuesday morning April 16. Now if you could inform me by Te egraph (at my expense) where I could show up my goods at the best advan tage and have a little add in the college paper to this office [effect?] that I would be at such a place next Tuesday and Wednesday with a line of English tennis goods baseball and athletic goods of all kinds-it would be a great help to me; let me hear from you as soon as you get this and oblige,

Resp. Yours, H. O. STICKNEY.

NO. 8 Boylston St., Cambridge, Mass.
