any sho wagafnst our spit-bau artist
and invincible gack stop? Look at
their support.
Furthermore. the only grounds OBJ
tainable are not surrounded by tall
board fences or fine mesh screen. and
we doubt if your fielders viii be able
TO 20 the distance in recovering tho
scores Of balls which our Giant slug
gers Will wallop into the distant
marshes and timberlands.
However. if this rumor is authentic
and If July 30 (Which is our only re-
naming open date) should meet with
your convenience. we hereby formally
challenge your team TO play nine in
nings Of regulation base ball on the,
day and date above mentioned at 200
