Manager Snulski of Falcons Comes Back With Hot Shots in Answer to Holy Gross Letter.

Sport Editor:
 In last nights paper on your page appeared a reply to me from the executive board of the Holy Cross A. c. whose objective was to clarify completing situation buN after reading it my mind Is more com- plex than it has been previously.
 The fans will not support com mercialized baseball team, yet it was by popular fan requests. that our team was commercialized and was supported we'll.
 The New Britain baseball fans who will think back several years certainly must admit that lew Britain has a baseball history If we use the word in the sense of its meaning. And in years to come oIr anticipation is that we will have tho baseball history of the Holy Cross A. C.
 This season the fans are not sup- porting a commercialixed team pro- perly which indicates to us that they would rather zee amateur baseball. This is another popular fan request to which we must adjust ourselves. It is surprising to hear that your club has six teams. was well aware of the number Of teams In your club, but I must have been misinformed or only the executive board of your club is aware of such 8 number. If this is true you de- serve commendation and l take this opportunity to express my hearty ap- preciation of your wonderful work in developing our national game. Your teams represent about 1000 people and I am among those 1000 and l feel we'll represented by six baseball teams.
 We do not deny your club proper representation but we cannot deny the Burritts the same privilege.
 Last season the Burritts were supported as well as your club is this season. In view of this fact, the Holy Cross this season is being supported by the same fans as the Burritts have been during the pre- ceding season.
 Ia all probability you may no, seek monopoly upon the baseball ground but you do want the use ot this for the entire season for your club only.
 Politics may be an obsolete word in your club yet you must use some other word in place of it. Person ally l know of two city representa- tives who have helped your club in acquiring your permit. And in my opinion the board of park commis- sioners did favor your club in grant ing the permit due to the fact tha, last season when the Burritts ap- piled for season permit they were definitely told that they could have it together with any other team in the city. It seems reasonab ble to think that no team was favored at that time but now the situation looks entirely different.
 In reference to financial encour- agement to the Burritts We do no, advertise such things to the public Furthermore it is only recently tha, they were in need of such support It is with regret that I must answer the first part of your last paragraph relative to spending hundreds of dollars on other than local talent. You have accidentally cast a reflec- ton on very good character I1 your club who at the present time is performing the managerial dutie. of your club.
 Since your last paragraph was the only one which consisted Of sarcasm to a limited degree and did not re- fer to me. thank you for your other wise honest opinion in the form of your reply.
 Yours very truly.
 JOSEPH SMULSKI.
