He Is now lOOhGu ny -
sore head American fans as the Vii
liam of the Velodrome, including you,
Mr.. J. p. N, in the bunch; and
must confess you are the worst of
them all. 1t don't take you long to
make a whole story of the least little
thing Moretti does out of the way
and then, again, cut it short when
some of your favorites perform one
of the so-called involuntary
switches, as, for example, in the
qualifying heat of the "World Der
by" in which Kramer met Grenda
and another rider which | do not re-
member the name Just now. In the
final lap of the home curve Kramer
switched Grenda, but the referee,
Ross, failed to see it, and things wenl
nice and smooth. 1t was an "unvol-
untary SWITCH as you call it, but 1t
was a switch just the same, and 1t
killed Grenda's chances to be factor
in the final, but you know as well as
| do, if that switch did not happen,
Kramer would never be in the final
and that would not have satisfied
kramer's favorites, and you are one
of them.
In regards to sending Moretti back
to Italy, if there should then be an
American fans are to blame, for if
they only give credit to the man who
really deserves it, such an outbreak
never would happen; but they don't
like to see Moretti win all the time
and that is all. Why does the man
agement of the Velodrome not en-
gage Messori, Ellegaard, and others
that did not make good at the Velo-
drome? That's the kind of riders
the American fans like to see 10
amuse themselves. They can't get
any pleasure to see Moretti win, ow
ing to the speed and brains. After
this, no more Velodrome for mine
and about fifty other friends of mine
feel the same way. The promoters
don't lose much, of course, but every
little ~ helps; and another thing
want to mention is, that if Moretti
would go back to his home town, the
Velodrome would lose a crowd Of
three or four thousand Italian fans,
and that is not figuring high.
Yours truly,
RALPH BURILLARI.
Moretti is a very excellent rider.
and just now he seems to be the next
best man to Kramer. He would have
beaten Goullet if he had not
switched and General mcfarland
was very sore over Cesars action.
for Mac was pulling for him to
win. However, Moretti Switched"
Goullet and he was punished, al
though | maintain that the disquali-
fication was not the proper thing in
such race. A fine and the re-run-
ming of the heat would have been
much better. Don't worry about Mo-
retti. He is delighted with his treat
ment here and he never wants to go
nome. The fans have been kind to
him, the management has been kind
to him, and the press has been fair
to him. A few of his enthusiastic
countrymen, like yourself, have be-
come "peeved'' on occasions. but YOU
and all your friends will be up to the
Velodrome as long as Moretti races
there and shows the form he is now
displaying. But always remember
that these are the United States of
America.
