Total,

The Humboldt club was defeated
by the Milan club a few days ago,
and the Milan boys claim that they
"downed' club that had heretofore
been successful in every contest in
West Tennessee. They seem to for
get that the Jackson Blues heat the
Humboldt club in a game this sea-
son, and hence their boast of heing
the "crack" club is premature
Whenever the Milan club defeats
Union City, Jackson and Grand
Junction, il will then be ample time
to wear laurel wreath of victory,
and claim high merits. Il Tribune and
San.
Suppose you send mp a challenge
to our boys. if you think the Blues
can beat them. Then we will prove
that your club has the right name.
