ID Isn't it true that Ebbets laid
down. on the first basenlan, after re-
peatedly promising one by the time
the season opened, and (2) isn't 1t
true that ii is understood that he in
tends taking any player he wants
any time? You didn't answer either
(of course you could and simply
come bacl. at me with a little sarcasm
and stated that the Newarks were
leading the league, which is entirely
beside the question. That is your
argument. Well. the Newarks do not
lead the lea que now-so that's the
end of your argument. And that's
| exactly what TO expect with per
lmanently weak hole at first base. Too
| ley can play the bag well. | admit.
but il either he or Move is hurt the
team is disorganized at once, Can't
you see that, or are you afraid TO see

to see? Ebbets and you are a fine
! pair. You are his little publicity
shouter-that's all,
THE TWENTY-YEA L FAN.
You arc right Mr.. Fan, Mr.. 2bbets
is a terrible man. He came to New
ark and gave us championship ball

boast that he will do it again. Why

tend to answer your con1munica ton.
A. far as the Newark team is con-
eerned it looks pretty good to me, ana

Mr.. F.bbets seems to be conducting
his club in high-class manner and
as he knows more about his own
business than | debut less, no
doubt than you do--he will likely be
| able to worry along without the as
sistance of either. For your reference
to the wonderful growth of the Eve
ming Star and its great power in
sports I thank YOU again and again.
