TIE cHALLENaY WITHDRAW.

Richmond, Va, June -. 1894
To the Editor Of The Times. Relative TO
the alleged challenge sent by Wun Lung
TO Mr. Timothy Tugmutton West captain
Of the Richmond baseball club, 10 play
the Hockey Pokey Juniors a series Of three
games on Shah Koh flats. which appeared
in your paper this morning, allow me
brief space In your valuable columns by
way OF explanation TO the public. Wun
Lung is not marager OF the Hockey POkey
Junior baseball club, as he signs him
self. but simply makes bats and balls and
masks for the use OF the players. He had
authority whatever to send such
challenge. and at a meeting Of the club
to-day II was the unanimous vote Of the
organization that he forfeit his position
for causing the Hockey POlSey juniors to
appear I'm a false light before the public.
l may say. in conclusion that the Hickey
Pokey Juniors are a firmly established
baseball club. They have played the Hop
Alongs. the Easy Fruits and the Punch
Outs. winning each game by scores OF
% 10 IS, e 10 70, and 9S 10 ST. respectively,
and the team has never failed to mike
less than thirty-two base hits. including
eleven home runs. We do not propose
robbing our club Of any OF its well-earned
dignity by sending such challenges as ap-
peared In The Times this morning. but
will consider al our next meeting the adj
visibility of challenging the Stauntons.
Very respectfully,
