Baseball enthusiasts of the town
 will be interested to note the follow
 ing challenge from the Walnut Tree
 son by both teams representing The
 Hill, a good wlndup would surely be shown if 8 three game series were played by both teams, to decide the championship of Newtown. The Walnut Tree Hill team is ready to play any Saturday afternoon, satis- first game to be played on their home grounds, and the second at Walnut Park. The third game to be played on ground determined later if a third game will be necessary. Owing to the fact that some are playing on both teams the Walnut Tree HilPs S manager will be satisfied to have these players say on which team they wish to- play during the series. In the matter of officials A. E. Brinton will be perfectly satisfactory as "um- pire." This series will not only prove interesting but would give the fol- lowers of each team an opportunity to see classy exhibitions, as both teams are now playing very fast and clean ball. The manager of the Fed eration team can get in communica- ton with the Hill team manager
 
 ments and the schedule for the games.
