New Management at Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City. okla, June 9.-The
Oklahoma city base ball club has
passed fro mthe control of Messrs.
Fiaherty and Rogers and is now con-
'trolled by the Oklahoma City Base
Ball association. which has secured
Che Oklahoma City franchise in the
Southwestern league Of the National
ssociation Of BASE Ball clubs.
This change results from the fact
chat the park people. street railway
company and others were not satisfied
with the manner in which base ball
has been conducted in Oklahoma City
this season and the further fact that
Messrs t'laherty and Rogers had not
forwarded the protection fee 20 the ma
tional association for the Oklahoma
City ball club, preventing the promul-
cation Of the new league for one month
after it had been playing league base
ball For this reason also none OF the
players in the Oklahoma City team
were under league contract

There was some trouble about the
child-the child she had by her first
