, no doubt. for his unpopularity. Your
reference to the one clean player on
the team is a big concession on your
! part, we take It, Your ideas
ever they are-fail in this respect.
Judging your letter, which wasn't
written by schoolboy, though it may
have been signed by one, you are so
fair and honest that you are not long
for this cruel and vicious world. AS
bit of advice, have a few moments
conversation with Paddy McGuigan
and become real man.

More trouble this. and over bas-

You will confer great favor on the
members of the Vailsburg Triangles II
you will kindly reply to the criticisms
by the National Field Club against
the Triangles. We wish to say that
their statements are untrue and un-
sportsmanlil1e, and that they were
due to their defeat. We wish to say
further that we are willing to meet
them in a match game, on any court
they may choose, for side bet. But
they must not have married men play
for them as juniors. Yours truly,
| A. CALLAHAN,
Manager Vailsburg Triangles.
Now. Mr. Field Club, will you have
horseradish on your ice cream? felt
sure that the Triangles would come
back at the Nationals. However, the
ashes, which were referred to so un-
| kindly by the Field Club, should be
removed from the Triangles dressing
room and married men should be
eliminated on Junior teams. Now that
both have had a say, why not play
another game-and "let the best team
win"

Wagers like the following should

]. P. N:
Please decide the following bet. A
bets that Verri and Brocco will hnlsh
ahead of Goullet and Grenda in the
Paris six-day race. B bets that
Goullet and Grenda will beat Verri and
Brocco. A bets on Verri and Brocco
as a team. Now, Verri and Brocco
do not team up together, but Goullet
and Grenda beat Verri and his part
ner and Brocco and his partner. A
says that the bet isn't valid. b says
that he wins. A BIKE FAN.
Both of you should be given fog
ging for sleeping all this time and
not knowing that Verri and Brocco
were not a team. OF course, the bet
is a draw; but A, we presume. would
have put up big kick IL either Verri
or Brocco had won. However, there
wasn't any action in the bet, as the
conditions named therein didn't ma
terialize. 1t is tough luck for B, and
for betting on Verri and Brocco
against Goullet and Grenda should
lose on the general principle of poor
display of judgment.

Harry Coates, who is looking after
the interests of Willie Kelly, the rum
ner is taken to task because he re-
fuses to allow his protege to compete
at the Central High School games,
in the following breezy letter:
J. P. NJ:
1 read with much interest the COM
munication of Mr.. Harry Coates, who
prides himself as the trainer of Kelly.
1t seems to me that Coates is a quit
ter of the first order He knows very
we'll that Kelly couldn't come within
ten yards of Frank Lagay. Time the
men have made proves it. Kelly has
never been credited with better than
3d. Lagay is doing so flat.
All hail to Carl Anderson, who Is
willing to pay Lagays travelling ex-
penses to have him meet Kelly. He
we'll realizes what card it would be.
And now comes Coates, who gives us
a lot of fencing stuff about why
Kelly can't run.
! Speaking of his alibi, who ever heard
| of a man that needed more than two
weeks rest between races? 1t is
| foolish!
With hopes that l may see these
two men toe the mark at the armory
on the 31st.
Sincerely,
ALBERT JACQUES.
Kelly as a starter in the games
would surely increase interest in the
meet, and 1t is to be regretted that
Coates is unable to see his way clear
to allow the boy to run.
