enthusiastic fighters of the "Frenehy
Corporate who seem to be very
angry at us for our "impertinent re-
marks"
Really, "Frenchy Corporation, we
did not mean to get your goat, and
you will kindly pardon us If we did.
You see, our 'impertinent remarks
were dictated after your unjust re-
marks of few days ago about Verri
and Moretti. You were surprised at
our nerve in placing the two famous
Italian riders among the fifteen stars
of fthe bike game. Well, you should
realize that, after all, our impertinent
remarks were legitimate. Remember,
also, sensible Friendly LIST, !" what the
Latins used to say, which, in
modest English, sounds something
like; Thou dost not fear wars, thou
dost not provoke them" 1t may seem
impossible to you, "Frenchy 1st," but
we still insist that VERT and Moretti
belong in the list of the fifteen celeb
rites of the world in cycling. TO be
true to ourselves, we believe that kra-
mer and Rutt should form a class
apart.
A few words also in regard to what
you say about Moretti and MacFar-
land. You think mcfarland does his
purpose of helping the game along.
We do not believe that to be true, and
you use poor judgment in accusing
Mac of such q thing. The fans ex-
pect Moretti to be up to the promise
made by mcfarland, and he has
never failed to keep his word. | sup
pose you read in your French papers
only the defeats of Moretti, and don
care to look over his splendid vic
tories. Why don't you read all the
defeats up till today of your Hourlier,
Friol, Dupre, Perchicot, etc? What
about the defeats of the cycling cham
pion. Walter Rutt, not by French
rider, but by a poor Italian Splinter
like Moretti? 1t seems almost impes-
sible, but still it is true!
But, please, "Frenchy 1st,' of the
"Frenchy Corporation" listen with us
to what j. p. n. says: He is a good,
fair judge on this matter. He knows
we could never come to an under
standing, so he advises TO watch the
game this coming season at the Velo-
drome and then we shall see what we
shall see
1t takes more than a "F'renchy Cor
poration" to claim what you claim in
cycling, and we could never agree on
this matter. Our controversy looks
noble ancestors. who. to settle "A SUI
periority in swords, came to battle,
the famous "Chalenge of Barletta,
in which the Italian knights had the
better of the brave Frenchmen That
was, if | don't mistake, "Frenchy
! 1st." in 1903 Our personal contro-
versy looks something like It, Doesn't
It? The recollection makes me smile!
We agree with you as to the ten
STARS of the bike game you picked
Why ten and not fifteen? | will add
| the other FIVE: Verri, Moretti, Pou-
lain, Oliveri. Poledri
| Good advice to young "Frenchy
LIST" Before you write, think of what
you write and don't talk of cycling
under the impression you know al
and what you say goes for all Use
the same good judgment you use in
other noble branches of sport. You
know that from the sublime to the
ridiculous there is only a step. AT
