boys are willing TO back themselves
against any other team of printers, or
as said, any craftsmen. There is talk
of arranging a match with the Press

straightway challenged Prof. Lewis to
a match to occur either IN Duluth or
this city at date that can be mutually
agreed on in the future. The challenge
is for from 500 to $500 a side and the
gate receipts.
