Your letter, MT. ION, is Tar lIotn
being fair, and your reference to the
game last year between st. Bene-
diets and Central High is all wrong
I happened to be at that particular
game, which was we'll played, fairly
won and devoid of Objectionable root
ing. You are very prejudiced, Tom
and you ought to take yourself to
task for 1t.
Sad is the state of mind of an East
Orange High School admirer, who de-
clares that East Orange never gets
full credit" and then goes on to say:
East Orange, Feb. 2, 1914.
]. p. NJ:
l read an Honest Sportsman's
article In your paper and take 1t upon
myself to answer 1t. The way our
team has been spoken of, both by you
and Central rooters, is downright
shame. We have no really big news
paper in East Orange, but If we did
our team might have a little justice
done 1t. You never give our team
and its victories full credit.
The writer of this letter Is not a
boy, or an East Orange team member
but a girl, and a very indignant one
at that. If I could meet the Honest
Sportsman" Just once I surely would
let him know what I think Of him.
No real sportsman would crow over a
defeated team as he has done.
To me, the East Orangeites seem q
pretty decent team, and 1t is rather
strange that no one was ever so in
censed before about their ways until
now, when Central, overproud of hav-
ing won a game from us, criticises
the teams ways and tactics. Person
ally, / know none of Centraps play
ers except Max Singer. and while he
is a rather good fellow, l don't know
Of the others.
The Sportsman" need not think
that 1t matters whether Central's
players are Hebrews or not. 1t isn't
caste or creed that counts. but brains
and Drawn are the big things. So
far as / know. our players have one
of the latter. anyway.
am a freshman OF the East Orange
High, but my resentment is as great
as and junior or senior could be.
Yours truly,
LOYAL EAST oRANGEITE.
1t is quite evident that the writer
of the above is a freshman, so let
It go at that.
Tho Same Bike Fanness" is back,
and politely puts a few pertinent
questions UP to IS. o. & Co." and has
other things to say, as follows:
j. P. NJ:
During the summer of 1918 there
was an Australian pursuit race be.
tween Reginald Mcnamara and AL
fred Goullet. Alfred Goullet was
known to the bike world as the pur-
suit king. Reginald Mcnamara won
from Goullet. Does this make Nc
pursuit king, or does Goullet
still retain his title?
1t would be pleasing to all, I am
sure, if IS. o. & Co." would give us
some information as to whom they
think the 1914 champions will be. !
would also like to ask If they think
and McDougall will retain
their titles this Year, Also who the
twenty five-mile champion will be, as
we'll as other races?
There is a sporting paper over In
Paris known as L'Auto. Is there any
way / can send for same, as I wish
very much to have one Of these?
could ask Mcnamara to send it, but
being that he will not be in Paris for
some time. owing to the Berlin and
Brussels six-day races, I would like
to know to whom I could write to
receive this paper. / suppose this
better, for am French.
Trusting to see IS. o. & Co." an
swer to my request, and also your
I am, with best regards
Yours truly,
SAME BIKE FANNEss.
Goullet Is not so much of a pur-
suffer as he used to be. and Reggie
Mcnamara can have the title If nc
one objects. Rest assured, o"s. o. &
Co." will give reply to your questions
Write to L'Auto, Paris, France, and
inclose So for years subscription.

One of the S. o. & Co.'S now IA
nous letters, touching on cycling and
is herewith printed for the
edihcation of the fans who enjoy
their writings:
]. P. NJ:
MacFarlands report of the Paris
six-day race has been read with great
appreciation by all the fans, who
ought to be thankful that he has
signed men like Rutt, Moretti, Hour
lier and Polledri for the local track
We would also like to see francesca
Verri under contract for the coming
season, as we believe Verri has many
friends in this great sporting city
We believe Verri knows the track

go" to the best of them.
We picked Kramer to beat Friol
and we do not limit our guess to this
match, but we feel like giving oui
opinion as to the probable winners
of the Belgian grind. We believe two
Belgian teams will be in for good
money, but will not win the race
The fight for first honors will be
among five sprinters, Rutt, verri
Ban Bever, Comes and our Fogler
This time the Italian Verri will b,
in for first or second houors, barring
accidents. See, 1T comes natural
fifth in New York, fourth in Paris
why not first or second in Brussels
Verri deserves 1t for his good worl
as a rider since 1907, when he wor
amateurs and other important race,
in Paris. Well, we believe, after all
with our experience of the cycling
game, that an italian Splinter will
win the championship of the world il
the near future.
J. P. N, we want to congratulate
you on the few but impressive word.
on the wrestling game. 1t Is certain
ly a great fake, as is also fencing. Il
all these giants, these mastodonit
grappiers, would go to work ant
contribute in better way to tn,
progress of the race. how much bet
ter off everybody would feel. Wrest
ling is not needed. 1t is not a sport
and like fencing, 1t seems ridiculous
