CITY and the very credible rumor,
based upon assertions made by Presi-
dent Shiveley, that the Oklahoma City
and Guthrie teams would not figure
in the consist of the Western ASSOC
citation next season.
All these disgusting rumors, COM
ing at time Immediately after en-
thusiastic local fans had raised a fund
TO pull the team out of financial

allay the interest that had been Gre
ated in the game here.
Concerning the report that Captain
Risley was negotiating to tie up with

Topeka franchise with q view to re-
moving the Oklahoma City team to
the Kansas capital, came denials, fol-
the management at Topeka that such
negotiations were in progress.
Then came the confirmed reports
| from Joplin that the Oklahoma City
team had actually laid down" in the
mining town. The weakest teams in
the league apparently played rings
around the Nets and games were for
| feited at time when such action
seemed suicidal.
In view of all these conditions it is
not incorrect to say that the Okla
homa City team has returned home
under a cloud, and not one breath of
enlightenment has been forthcoming
to sweep away the mist of dubious
ness.
That there has been discredita BILE
jOckeying in progress in the Western
association during the past month
there is every reason to believe, and
it looks as though the baseball inter-
ests Of Oklahoma City have been
toasting on the spittle. This is the
view held by nine-tenths of the fans
in Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoman is willing to admit

that the bad showing of the Nets can

feel that the patrons of the game in
| Oklahoma City are entitled to such
consideration. An analysis of the
teams recent career would certainly

been vainly expecting that the Okla

son of 1905 as champions of the

herbs which was sure to control that

The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there

WORRIED OVER GRAIN RATES.
Men Notice Discrepancies In
Wheat Charges.

Grain dealers and millers of Oklahoma
are attempting to solve proposition
wherein they charge that the railroads
operating in Oklahoma and throughout
the southwest are guilty OF
rate discrimination. They claim
that the discrimination does not
affect them so much as it does the
farmers of the territory, and the farn-
ers are beginning to wake up to the
fact that something is wrong.
A prominent grain dealer of Guthrie
says that while the rate on wheat from
Kansas City to Chicago. a distance of
about 400 miles, is cents per hundred.
the rate from Guthrie to Gainesville,
Tex. a distance of 40 miles, is 2sJk
cents per hundred. The rate on -four
from Guthrie to Denison. Tex. is 3s5k
cents per hundred. from Guthrie to
Shreveport, more than twice as far. %
cents per hundred, from Guthrie to Gall
weston, 40 cents per hundred, and from
Guthrie to Amsterdam, Holland, 375z
