Editor Republicans In your issue of
May IA, Mr.. Schott, Of Madison, issues a
challenge to Jim Comstock, and says if
Comstock is not more of a talker than
wrestler he will accept the challenge.
Now, as Mr.. Comst0ck is out of town
training for his match with Evan Lewis,
but as / can find him and am sure he
will wrestle Schott, | will take the re-
sponsibility of answering Mr.. Schott
and depositing forfeit for Mr.. Com
stock to wrestle him in public and to
make it good and public. | propose
that they wrestle on the baseball
grounds on any date that Mr.. Schott
may choose. All | want is Mr.. Schott
to give two or three days. notice in or
der to let Mr. Comstock know. Mr..
Schott cannot find any fault with me
signing articles sfor Mr.. Comstock as
long as forfeit is posted. In regard
to referee we will be satisfied with his
man-Sanford, of Milwaukee, or Kline,
of Beloit. Yours respectfully,
P. FL. MCDONALD.
