in this valloy to sit tamely by and lot this pass unnoticed whioh would amount to admitting tbo correct noss of tbo assertion made in the Bolt 1 tmvojust written denial to the Rolt but dont think they will publish it I omphntically deny having changed any decision and am pro pared to moot any person on tins proposition and I clinllongo tho Bolt thoEanles or anybody eo to piovo tho raw decision to bu incorrect according to the offlaial baso ball guide Tho gamo was a hard fought one thiougbout and tho Valloy boys won on thoir merits It is pretty tough I know to tako drubbing tioin a town that
