Show I The Challenge is Accepted I Center Street Mugwumps Wilt Play First I North Hoodlumps. The Line-ups. I The "Mugwump" of Center street, H as represented by Honorable Japanese I boys,Harold Lafount and Leo Squires, I hero and now accept the challenge ot I the First North Street "Hoodlums" I to a game of basketball at any time I and place preferably, however, at the I Auditorium and as soon as the Flood- H lums have learned the difference be I twecn a basketball and a pumpkin. I The Mugwumps figure that this last I provision will give them a month for I practice. They also declare that they do not care If the Hoodlums choose to I put In the entire Knowles famlly,Jako I Johnson and Zeph Thomas. The Mug- I wumps aro willing to play anybody of I any name or slzo and the only con- I slderatlon they 'ask is that the First I North Street noodlums attend the H game sober. I The Hoodlums of First North an- H nounce their line-up as follows: Nelly I Peterson, or Bell, center; George Llnd- I qulstand Ole Sonne, forwards; Jos. I Knowles and Alme Sonne, backwards. I No man in this line-up Is less than six I feet five inches high and one is five I. feet six inches through. It is antlcl- I pated that these gentlemen can keep the ball' In the air, far over the heads of the Mugwumps Tl)ey,are expecting expect-ing to have no more strenuous work than to walk over to the basket and drop the ball Into It. This comes by wireless from the President and Cashier Cash-ier ot the First National Bank, Hon. Orval Basketball Adams. Over the Journal's leased wire from Bongabong to Tlmbuctoo, The Republican Re-publican has caught tho probablo lineup line-up ot the Mugwump: George Fere-day Fere-day for center; Augustus Gordon and King David for guards; Charley Burch and Fred Appleman forwards. These are doughty fighters, tried and true, with eyes of red and cheeks of blue. Their plan Is to play tho game on the floor and have It won before the beaq poles representing the Hoodlums can stoop over. The prospect for a great game In the near future grows brighter each minute, min-ute, the basketball heaven being al-readly al-readly overspread with what looks like an aurora boreal Is. An added pleasure comes in the prospect of having hav-ing Gov. John C. Cutler or Carrie Nation Na-tion umpire the game. . |
