"S.B." AND WALLIE INGRAM
Sir,-On Sunday last, September 28, Mr. Ingram used a good part of his broadcasting time at 2ZB to comment on the correspondence about wrestling which has recently brightened your columns. Since I have no time on the Commercial stations and little time for them, may I have another few inches to make public my thanks to Mr. Ingram for so aptly illustrating all I said about him, and some more. And may I point out, further, that Mr, Ingram has not yet, in spite of these several written and vocal attempts, answered any one of my questions. His argument has been that abuse has been my only refrain. In actual fact, I asked a number of interesting questions, which Mr. Ingram, for all his knowledge of wrestling, seems incapable of answering. His only reply has been to try and write me off as a name-caller and "knocker," as he so quaintly put it in his broadcast, and devote all your space, and 2ZB’s time, to nothing other than calling names and making fanciful accusations about my humble self. Withal, he has the nerve to quote some old tag his grandmother taught him about the ethics of criticism. It would seem that the louder we laugh at Mr. Ingram the less hope there is that he should have the sense to laugh at himself -S.B. (Wellington).
