| Text | [from a letter by “Umpire”] You don’t read Fitzgerald’s Item, do you? If you do, you must be aware that the Colonel is going it pretty strong on Col. Moore. The fact is, the Athletics have not done the right thing towards the man who built them up, and, consequently, the colonel is “down upon ‘em” for it; but his course of opposition is not as wise or politic a one as he might pursue. Personalities don’t pay. Pitch in all you like, but do it in a way that hurts your opponent without hurting yourself. In my opinion, Fitz does himself more harm than he does Colonel Moore, who is deservedly popular with the fraternity in Philadelphia. I’m sorry Fitz does so, because I like him. He is an enthusiastic, whole-souled fellow, who never does things by halves; and can’t he talk a club up, though. The Athletics certainly made a mess of it when they let him be over-run by new men. |
