Deadly Combat
of Competitive
Teams Is Near

BY means of the cleverest bit cf
sleuthing ever known in valley his
tory, Press representatives were able
to track down q letter sent late
Yesterday afternoon to Secretary
James Coyle at Chamber of Com
morce headquarters by prominent
business man in FL Centre.
The letter which referred TO y
controversy which is taxing on serl-
Gus proportions is quoted in part
below:
"'We understand that tMajor Kel-
Ter accepted the Blues challenge
sight unseen, no quarter asked or
given. The challenge is given in
the same spirit, and will be carried
out by the Blues for any benefit
named by the Chamber of Com
meree, prize to be money, marbles or
chalk.
1t is our understanding that the
Reds expect to be fortified with
the Telephone Company First Aid
Team,' q member of which is a
Red. No doubt that's all right. We
just want to say that Wen have
our team and will be out for blood. -
The letter was finally found to
have been sent by Major J. d. Foss,
"Blues," per Charles Matlin.
The date set for this deadly com
bat in which baseball bats and balls
will feature, is March 30, at $3.50
