The plumbers of the city have is
sued public challenge to the print
ers of the city for a baseball game
to be played at the fair grounds Sun
day afternoon. The plumbers say
that they can wallop the sons OF
Horace Greeley alive and defy them
to meet them on the baseball dia-
mond. Everybody knows that the
plumbers wouldn't have a ghost of a
show with the boys from the printing
offices so 1t is quite likely that tho
game will be arranged and the con-
ceit taken out of the pipe filters. IL
a printers team can be gotten to-
