We believe that to accept this chal-
lenge would be an insult to our tall
ent; in fact, the challenge itself is an
insult, and in olden times would be
satisfied at the point of the sword.
The laws of the land, only, prevent
us from using this measure. We are
therefore compelled to accept their
challenge and will vindicate our
honor on the ball field, watching the
fat slobs waddle after our long flies
and go painting after some slow
grounder. Their sweat will turn to
blood and their fat to grease ere
Sundays sun sets in the west.
Be it recorded on the sands Of time
that our team is:
c. v. Fisher, Walter Johnson's un-
derstudy.
d. L. O'Neal, one season with Wa
pello Busters.
B. F. Pennington, saw ping-pong
game once and thinks he can play
base ball.
Pee Knuckle Ike, greatest Jew
base ball player in captivity.
Charles Clarke, intends to use a
plumbers friend" to suck in the
balls.
Max Smith, twister-never had
hit made off his pitching.
Frank Garvin, with Detroit all his
life.
Hartong, world-known paving
catcher.

dler; would-be manager of this team.
Howard Henderson, played with

Alex. Younie reports that some
miscreant stole one wheel and the
nut from his Democrat wagon in the
shed at his sons former home below

for that kind of wagon, Mr.. Younie
has decided that the fellow showed
bad taste or rnisjudged him or he
would have taken the whole wagon.
Since the wagon Is Of no further use
to him, Mr.. Younie does not care
to store it for the further raids Of
this unknown man, and suggests that
he either bring back the wheel and
nut or come and get the rest of it.
