j. P. Davis, the manager of the Cata-
odulutt DdSc Dail CliD, luulSlldHJly re-
sents the claim of the Blue Stockings of
Slatington to the championship of the
Lehigh Valley and says his club twice
defeated the latter this summer. To
settle the matter Mr.. Davis challenges
the Slatington team to play game either
in Lehighton, Catasauqua, Allentown,
or at any other place they may name for
a purse of $25 to S50O.-Allentown
Chronicle.
Manager Jones of the Blue Stockings
has accepted the challenge for $500 and
