Resting up a bit and reading your
columns conservatively, 1 find 1t ev-
ident that IS. o. & Co." wish me to
eliminate the nationality contro-
versy, l will, only under one condi-
ton; that is that I will ever have
the impression that the Smoky
Ookem' bunch are Italians. AS critics
their dope Is absurd. After their de-
bate on the six-day race have
reached the conclusion that they do
not represent the name, good crit
les" | believe that their system is
clogged with prejudice. Their dope
and their other Italian associates
collection of stuff is very ridiculous
and rank. I must use slang to vent
my feelings on what they offered the
public In your columns. Their letters
were met with much disapproval from
the public, and If the thoughts of all
those people could have been read by
the italian element, surely there
would be hostile doings. But l as
sumo the grace and occasion to act
and retaliate in behalf of the united
Americans. must add that the
"Snooky Ookem' bunch and the
other fellows that wear those compli-
Gated cognomens should be fearful of
the opposition confronting them.
Now rs. o. g. c." the consensus of
opinion was that Verri was the first
offender, in the ride off at the Garden
recently. Now, according to that, the
majority ruled the decision. The YER
dict is that Verri was beaten. And
he was beaten after he used offensive
tactics. And he was ultimately beat
en- at his own game. And 1t was
Fred Hill who should be congratu-
lated for beating him. Just because
Verri was the only Italian in the
sprint is no reason why the race
should be given to him. Too much
was expected OF Verri, and that by
one element. Said element showered
sympathy and pity upon him, because
he was opposed by the major part
Americans. In the sprint, though, the
expectancy was not there; he was
minus generalship; lacking altogether
in merit. 1t was then that he re-
sorted to foul tactics, and it was sim
ultaneously that Fred Hill. after be-
ing victim, retaliated in the same
manner, and won good his purpose.
Yes, Verri was good, maybe, but his
opposition was better. If Eerri had
established a precedent as to his en-
durance and ability in six-day races
we could almost tell the weight OF
the results preceding the race; there
fore, l am sure that the men he fol-
lowed won their places on their mer-
it's. Kramer and MacFarland now
admit that their judgment was away
off. In fact they did not see the
light of it. Now IS. o. e. Co." rest
assured that Verri was beaten fairly,
but I actually believe he should have
finished last. in the first string.
suppose that this will meet with your
disapproval. but 1t is o. K.
