The game with Bishee for $3.50 side
has been declared OFF The Reds claim
to have lost several of their crack-a-
lacks, and therefore do not want to
take the risk. However. they made a
proposition to play the Grays here on
August 10 for glory providing that
they were guaranteed 60 per cent OF the
gate receipts and expenses besides.
The locals are inclined to think that
anv team would play on a proposition
of that kind. ''Rube" Armstrong an
swered the challenge this morning:
He told Bisbee that the Grays would
be willing to give them 65 per cent OF
.tha net proceeds, but would not play
under the conditions named in the
challenge. The demands Of Bisbee
seem most unreasonable. and on"e
more the question of game Is in their
hands.
