Accept Challenge.

In response to the challenge pub.

day evening by the management OF
the Consolidation Coal Company base.
ball team for a game deciding the
county championship between the
Coal Company team and Grant Town
Manager Kirchner Of Grant Town this
morning called the West Virginian
and asked that his acceptance of the
challege be published.
The Grant Town manager states
that since there Is at this time quite
a dispute over the championship that
the only sure means Of deciding the
real champions Is to have the two
teams meet in series of games. He
further proposes that three games be
played, but in case that they cannot be
arranged, he is willing to play one
more game on neutral field letting
this game decide the championship.
Grant Town is anxious to play off
the deciding game or games before
both teams disorganize for the year,
and suggests that they are played with
in the next few weeks. Manager Nc
Ateer may communicate with Mana
ger Kirchner by calling the No. 2
store at Grant Town.
