Bureau has received formal .chal-
enge to mortal combat on one of the
baseball diamonds in Detroit, Septem-
ber z. The opposing nine is to be
made up of members of the Detroit

latent pitching talent in the Upper
Peninsula Development bureau, now is
the time for the owners to come out
from their places of concealment and
get their wings in shape for twirling a
no-hit game on that occasion. The
Detroiters will furnish the implements
of war in the way of bats, masks and
pads and physicians will be on hand
with lubricants and adhesive plaster.
Ambulances will also be within call.

Jennings and Tyrus Cobb, asking them
to act as coaches for the upper penin-
sula ball tossers on that occasion and
Sam Crawford and 'tWild Bill'' Dono-

$50. The steamer will be moored at
the foot of First street and everybody
