will be given to the Cubs and Chicago
will also get piece of money Tor
Evers. The settlement of the en-
tanglement is counted as master
stroke on the part of Governor Tener,
and it is presumed that he will be
able to look after the affairs of the
National League in any arguments
that may arise, whether in organi-
zatiof1 baseball or outside of it.

A protest from Smith, who is in
dignant and who threatens to secure
5, 900 signatures to prove that he is
right and that others are wrong in
regard to the controversy whether
letters should be published in these
columns or not:
J. p. N:
l am just another reader who thinks
this IS. o. Sc Co." junk is punk. L
work in a factory where there are
1000 hands employed. Just to get
other opinions beside my own l can
vassed the factory, and believe me,
80 per cent thought the same as /.
| am getting 5000 names in support of
my opinion. Can IS. o, & Co." get
as many to say that their stuff is
good? Give us a couple of live
wires, not these dead ones who are
trying to boom Italy, the country
they were glad to leave.
SMITH.
The Evening Star is evidently rath-
er popular in your factory.

The following letter takes to task
those who would have IS. o. & Co"
and 1.-THE Frenchy Corporation" elm
mated from these columns, and the
communication also has few kind
words for poor little only me-;
J. p. N:
The controversy in your columns
in reference to IS. o, & Co and
"Frenchy" is really nonsensical.
pity those unfortunates who consider
themselves literary geniuses and can
not enjoy the good things of life, but
those few must not be allowed to stop
those witty and humorous contrlbu-
tors to your much-enjoyed page. Let
them just skip over those letters they
don't like. | for one shall be pleased
to read everything, and as for the
critic who took you to task | would
suggest that he visit the Public LII

what a sporting sheet is. | am forced
to write this letter after hearing so
many favorable comments from my
friends in reference to your page.

There are so many nice things in
the following communication that the
world seems brighter all around:
]. p. N:
In answer to a communication
signed "Torchy" we desire to state
that there are other people who live
on the same earth with "Torchy'
who do not profess to possess the
vast knowledge on various subjects
that he does and are therefore II
need of a little advice at different
times, and your column Is the best
medium to obtain reliable informa-
ton.
We and all our friends and ac'
quaintaneeS-and we have no doub
that all other readers are also inter

inquiries-haVe gained a good dea

would lose its name as the "Bes

have heard many remark.
| If all people knew all that "Torchy
thinks he knows, why then do we nee'
the newspapers? We find that tn
Public Library, high schools an

not take as much interest in "Spor

with the News and now our favorit
paper is The Star.
We are sure that the "Sport Topics
will not become IAN instrument TO
certain prejudiced and ignorant peopl
to air their troubles" and if "Torchy

fully he will readily discover who tn
"prejudieed" one is.
