THE FAKlR
TOOK THE BAIT
 IN NICE STYLE
" Tippy" Fay the Self Styled Fight Promoter Exposed to the
 Lime Light.

has just been unearthed in the per son of one "Tippy' Fay, who signs his address 137 Hartford avenue, New Britain, Conn. And he has been unearthed mostly through his own efforts to keep his name in the papers and through his mesmerlzing of certain sporting writers through out the, state. "Tippy' has pro- pensity to write letters about him self to certain papers and while many of those effusions have been tossed in with other waste paper some have been framed up by the aforesaid sporting writers and pub lished as the original contributions of the said 'Tippy." Waterbury has been happily free from any of the literary efforts of this now self confessed fakir. But there is a lit tie story connected with the revela- tions, which have been made in the last few days, which will be very 1n- teresting and the parallel column can be used with deadly effect, to expose Mir "Tippy" and also to make some of the sporting writers look pretty cheap, if not disgusted with themselves.
 Yesterday morning the New Ha- ven Palladium acknowledged the re- ceipt of letter from Fay and pub lished the same. It preceded the let ter, however, by this preamble: Last night the sporting department of the Palladium received a letter from "Tippy" Fay, the young New Britain sporting man and match maker, who we have always found on the level and good sport"
 It is presumed that MT Robinson of the Palladium was the recipient of the letter, and, if so, it proves conclusively what the Democrat has claimed on other occasions, that the Palladium writer lacks consistency and fairness. He has already posted himself as the critic of the writers on the Democrat and the Bridge port Telegram and in publishing the letter from Fay yesterday morning, he slaps another writer over in New Britain. Truly MT Robinson can eat his own words which he published of the writer of this paper, He must be sore at the whole world y The letter of Fay's was mass of abuse of George Mulligan and Kid Shea of this city and MT McDer- mott. the sporting writer of the New Britain Herald. One portion of the letter is quoted below in order that Mir Tippy can also be compelled to eat his own words, with his New Haven friend and voucher. It is as follows:
 Another thing I would like MT Mulligan or the local scribbler, that calls himself a sporting editor, to produce or show me, is where any paper in the country outside the New Britain Herald ever called ne four fiusher or a hot air merchant. Now, if MT Mulligan wants to accept chal- lenge so bad here is a chance for him or the local scribbler, if either of the above challengers can produce or show me where any New York paper or any other paper in the country barring the New Britain Herald, ever called me four-husher, l will make them present of $100 for their trouble, and I have another $100 that I will post with your paper or the Hartford Times, which ever is satisfactory to them, that no paper outside the New Britain Herald ever called me a four-fusher or a stiff. My money as stated two months ago in the challenge is real stuff and will stand the acid and I will post it as soon as Mir Mulligan or the local scribbler says the word.'
 By the "local scribbler" mentioned in the above is meant the sporting writer of the New Britain Herald. And now MT Tippy must begin that digesting of his epistle, for as a four flusher he has them all beaten a block and as a proof of this the par allel column can be brought into play. In the first part of his letter to the Palladium in his abuse of George Mulligan, he calls the latter four-fusher because he did not write him to make match for his man, Kid Schuman, but the whole meat of the situation comes out in another letter to Mir Mulligan him. self and from the much abused 'Tippy" Fay. This letter is a gem by the way. not only because of the style in which it is written but be- cause of the beautiful words of praise that adorn the head. all fin thorough accord with Pays opinion of himself. In the upper left hand corner is a picture of the renowned Fay. At the top of the cut is the word "In- troducing" and below are the words. "Tippy Fay. the worlds youngest fight promoter" At the right is the following taffy tablet that must make even a schoolboy smile:
 Acknowledged by such experts as T. s. Andrews. Tim McGrath. Spider Kelley. Billy Delaney. Tom O'Rourke. John l.. Sullivan. George SIier. Ma laehy Hogan. Jack Michigan and others. to be the youngest fight pro- moter the world ever had. Manager, matchmaker and owner of the Young Mems Pleasure club. Picture principal feature of T. s. Andrcws's 1908 Sporting Annual. Address all mail to Thomas W. Fay. 13T Hart ford avenue. New Britain. conn"
 And now comes the letter to George MulliEan. which -yhcn placed in the parallel column by the side of the abusive epistle in the Palladium. shows the master hand Hf the fakir and must make the nam,. uf four a-ah.-s= ak.. -rsF.ga-. E
