Challenged By
Brewery Team

H. Johnson, 1904 Tacoma av..
manager for the Pacific Brewing
q Mating baseball team, takes ex-
eeption to the claim of the Pits
tiers TO the city semi-pro champion
ship of last year. Johnson in a
letter to the Time sporting editor
states that each team won one
game each last year and that the
Pfistsrs did not play off the tie.
This point seems to be a matter
of discussion. johnson offers to
play the Pfisters for q purse of
$50 to decide the matter and the
suggestion Ia made that the teams
get together and fight It out be-
fore the disbanding of the Pfister
team and the organization of the
Keystones. This would make a
fine. scrappy, close score game
that the public would appreciate,
and besides deciding as to whom
The laurels are due, 1t would prob
ably benefit both teams by gate
receipts.
