CHANCES ARE SLIM.
Sunday Ball Games Only Ones That
Paw the Profits

Enid. O. T. April 5.-Chances of Enid
having a team in the Southwestern Ball
association are slim. in that the club is
not in favor in Enid. on account of an
absence of Sunday games The manage
o. ment of the club and the chief promoter
is Walter Frantz. who strenuously objects
to playing ball on Sunday. He is busy
today calling on the merchants asking
for support Of his team. and it is hardly
possible ttat he will secure an amount
sufficient to warrant his inaugurating
team here.
Here. as in other cities the Sunday
games are the best for drawing crowds.
Local fans. those who follow the game
throughout the entire season. are men
who are employed six days out Of the
week, and game Of bah is their only
recreation during the seven days. They
want IL TO occur on Sunday.
Frantz Is a clever fellow. well liked
by the citizens and an earnest worker

WHY THE LAW is GOOD.
Oil Inspection Is to Prevent Fataf
Fatal Accidents

Guthrie. o. r, April Some people
were inclined to argue that Attorney Cen
eral Simons had stretched the Oklahoma
law little too much when he gave the
opinion that all of the oil shipped itno
this territory for the use of railroads
must be inspected by the coal oil inspec-
tors before being taken from the original
packages in which it was shipped but
now il seems that some OF the prominten
railroad attorneys have held that the
opinion of the attorney general is good
law.
1t seems that the only object Of the
legislators of Oklahoma was not to secure
good oil for the people but TO protect hu-
man life and property by preventing the
use of oil that is liable to explode 1t is
on this theory that people who move into
Oklahoma and bring a can of coal oil in
their wagons have no right TO use it here
without first having it inspected because
the oil may endanger human life or prop
erty.

Sunday school class throughout the win

is so strong in his convictions that his
contract with the Blues at Kansas City,
where he does stunt on the initial bag,
read that he shall not be called on to
play on the first day of the week. He

ing himself in readiness TO go as soon as
he has demonstrated one way or the
other the chance for local team
