We note, in the issue of the Hum
bOldt Standard of date the Sth inst,
under the caption, Challenge to the
LOvelock Club" what purports to be
an offer to play against US for $1,000
a side '4-e article referred to is un-
signed either by yourself or anyone
else as captain of the nine, by your
manager or by anyone as authorized
by your club, and we therefore have
no assurance that it is authentic. AS
a matetr of fact we take it to be either
pipe-dream of Windle's or a rare
and juicy bluff-for such an offer
seems too good TO be true. IL 1T is
one of Windle's pipe-dreams, of course
it does not merit our attention. and
the matter will doubles fall through.
II it is a bluff. it had better be MADE
good for we are there with the
dough" to cover any such move on
the part of the Winnemucca~ nine. Or
course it is not our habit TO take up
as serious the idle talk of every Idle
newspaper in the country, but, II TINS
is official and on the square, you VIII
find us ready, wnIlng and even anx-
iOus TO do busines with your team,
and that without delay.
If you. or Ewing, or whoever your
captain may now be, or your secretary
or manager or someone officially EN-
powered to arrange the game and the
oets, will promulgate the challenge |
and over a signature that will |
give it authority, we will call it with
ou' looking at the buried card" and |
