Girl" "Torchy" and the fellow who is
leading the brave army OF 5000 hire
a hall and have debate with the
Same Bike Fanness" and rs. o. &
Co. | can just imagine the recepy
tlon "Torchy" and his followers would
receive.
/ | do wish the bicycle season was
here, so that we would hear more
from the "Fanness" and as. D. e. Co
And then no one will have-or, rather,
take-time to read the unkind mis-
sives from "A Grip and "Torchy' and
a few others who think themselves
very clever indeed. Thanking you,
| am, LINNETT, from Wyoming.
Your drawing shows much improve
ment. but your faces lack expression
and beauty. Don't give 1t up. You
may be an artist yet.
O.
A correspondent enjoys the argu-
ments and says 80 in the following
letter:
| ]. P. N:
After much laughter and JOY, I
| have decided to ask you to request
! "Buttercups Inc.," to become regular
contributors to your column. AL
though they are out of season at
present, nevertheless they are pleas
| ing TO the ear. 1t appears to me as
| If some people think your column is
intended to please only few, but
on the contrary, 1t Is evident that
you try to please all Keep up the
good work.
I am glad to see our old friend
Same Bike Fanness'' with us again
Your staff of contributors is excep-
tionally funny just at present, and
as Jake de Barber" would say, let
them fight it out, Yours Truly,
DAISY.
More abuse for rs. o. Ss Coz"
]. P. NJ:
I am submitting my final letter in
the IS. o. g. Co." controversy, and
will endeavor to tell them why their
communications never made a hit
with me. Taking up their letter in
answer to mine, / would like to call
their attention again to the fact that
they do not read other peoples let
'ters correctly. Why suggest that /
find another boarding house, when
indicated clearly that | was not at
present a member? Do you under
stand the past tense of a verb? If
l We're to say ! was in Ireland last
year and you wrote I suggest that
you leave Ireland, wouldn't that
sound foolish? Learn to read cor
reetly.
Your poetry was real good, but as
you were not the author, that prob
ably accounts for 1t. The fact that
you know the author and where to
find 1t readily, indicates that there
was some self-applcation. But why
bring in someone else's views? That
usually indicates that you cannot eX-
press your own. My dislike to your
letters started when, after such ex-
perts as Kramer and MacFarland ex-
pressed their views on cycling, you
followed in q few days with parrot
like repetition of all they said. And
/ call your attention to those letters
and to your views on Jackie Clark
and the anti-cycling newspaper, pre-
Viously written by ]. p. ". We all
remember the cheap holler you made
about the six-day race and 1t was
only few weeks ago you attempted
to convince people that Verri was
good rider by referring to his de-
feats by Kramer and Clark. You
We're unable to point to one victory
that would indicate he was a FIRST
class professional rider.
You deplore the fact that the let
ters are getting stronger than you
relish and that you should not be
blamed in anyway. But you are very
much in the position of q person who
has accepted an invitation to call
and has exceeded the time limit This
person is very polite and soft-spoken,
but won't take a hint. 1t Is then
necessary to talk plain so there won't
be any misunderstanding.
You say that you have written
your final letter, but that would be
too good to be true. You will write
again and tell us that a boxer is
scientific and a fighter is not.

Some harsh words are contained in
the following communication:
]. p. NJ:
On the level, is as. o. & Co. one
or more persons? If more than one,
pity the folks at Overlook. Why,
the poor simps are putting before the
public line of ignorance that could
hardly be equalied by that of
"Frenchy Corporation" Ever since
they took up space in the Evening
Star l have looked forward to rs. o.
& Co." contribute something sub
Notwithstanding of interest-or
most of all, some real stuff. But
have been disappointed Their stuff
Is punk and so confusing that 1 often
wonder If they ever saw a real fight
or a bicycle race. They think there
is no country like Sunny Italy Hear
ing of bicycle riders named Verri and
| Moretti has swelled their heads and
| 'Woops, my deah," they are the best
in the world. Maybe they can beat
Kramer. I have never seen Moretti,
but If he is anything like Verri, good
night
And IS. o. G. CO.. is trying to teach
us something about prize fighting, too.
Acting as judges, they compare Patsy
Kline and Jackie Clark. You would
think rs. o. & Co." We're an au-
thority. Let me state right here that
no argument will deprive Jackie OF
his popularity. The little rider from
the Antipodes is q real genius, pos
sessing all the qualities necessary to
make him the world greatest cyclist.
AS for Patsy, l am not so well ac-
quainted with him. What read about
him is quite favorable.
In Saturday nights issue read IS.
o. & Co. s." important article. That
it was long l will not dispute. But
what did 1t contain? Nothing. rs
o. & Co." should be canned. Others
are amusing. What has become OF
Same Bike Fanness" and her poetry
BLEACHERITE BILL.
