...article was in very bad taste, and everyone was glad to learn through a letter by Conneff, which appeared in the Clipper, that the article was ficticious, Conneff disclaiming all knowledge of it. In his letter to the Clipper, Conneff says he is willing to meet Dohm in a scratch half mile invitation race at the Berkeley Athletic club games on June 8, or in a similar race given under the auspice of the Manhattan Athletic club, or Princeton college.
