J. B. RENoIT ON
 BASKETBALL SITUATION.
Airs His Sentiments in Letter to The
 Bulletin.
To Norwich Bulletin:

To Norwich Bulletin:
 At the request of several of the bas- ketball fans and a deep feeling have for the sport myself. compels me to ask you for a. little space in your val uable paper.
 On Christmas afternoon more than 300 fans gathered in Parish hall to witness the game between TaftvilIe and. Torrington, and after waiting un- til nearly , o'clock in a cold hall the management announced that two teams would play an exhibition game. After playing a few minutes an inter mission of five minutes was called and the disgusting way in which the play CTS carried on drove everybody away in anger, swearing they would never wit team.
 When there were about 20 or 30 fans left in the hall the manager. of fered tickets to them for another game the other 300 or more were allowed to go away, and dream about the 20 cents they had been stung for.
 In the evening the team goes to Westerly and after getting on the floor with uniforms on, changed their mind and dressed up and came home.
 It is too bad that a town like Taft vile should allow a man who has no business ability or knows nothing about the game to come all the way from Montville to give the good old loyal fans of Taftville such a black eye
 Between $50 and $75 was taken at the door and pocketed by the team and the good old loyal fans were stung
 Their greed for money, poor man agement and other tricks handed to the public will surely kill the only sport we have in Taftville during the winter if things don't change.
