Miss Blanche Oborn. Last winter his
health, never strong, gave way under
a persistent attack of consumption,
and he began making preparations to
leave Vinita. One delay after another
prevented him from leaving, however,
and when be went to San Angelo,
Texas, only few weeks ago, it was
already too late, and after being there
but week he came back to be with
his home folks to the end.

A long step forward ia the history
Of the Vinita Commercial club was
taken this morning when the board Of
directors employed John A. Wise as
permanent secretary Of the club.
Walter M. Charlesworth, the former
secretary, handed in his resignation
this morning. He has been contem-
plating this move for some time. He
has other business, being now assistant
cashier of theICherokee National bank
and has been unable to devote sufflc-
lent of his time to the work Of the
club, which i requiring more and
more work.
Mr.. CharleSworth has been secretary
for almost two years, and in that time
the clun has made great advances.
Many new members have been added,
club rooms have been secured, and in
every way the work is In better shape
than it has ever been before. But the
business Of the club has increased at
such rate that secretary is abso-
lutely necessary who shall devote his
entire time to the work.
In Mr.. Wise the directors have
chosen man than whom no better
could be found. He has been resi-
dent Of Vinita for about two years,
and In that time has been acriye in
every good work for the betterment
Of che town. He now isinactive chargeof

Angel faced M. Finn has asked for waiv- CTS on Bill IIoffer and Dusty" Miller not our old Dusty the striker, but another.
 The ways of Finn, like the "heathen Chinese are peculiar. Now, if he re- leases Miller, he can use Pearson, whom he prevented signing with Montgomery. But why he runs the risk of losing Hoffer cannot be fathomed The rules of the league declare that any manager asking waivers on a player must turn him over within three days to whichever of the remaining managers refuses to waive his right, and gives notification of that refusal first.
 Therefore, will Hoffer remain in the Southern League, or will he disappear, leaving Finn with three pitchers, Eyler. Keith and Hart?
 The san who swallowed that story about New York offering a house and corner lot for Pete Lister, Is gullible enough to buy a gold brick.
 Now Pete is a good fellow, a splendid fielder, and is hitting the ball furiously. but he cannot believe that McGraw wants him s4J00 worth.
 Even if we believed that. you could not stuff 1t down our throats that Nash vile turned down the money.
 Cleveland did want Lister Concerning

BASEBALL CAUGHT
 ON THE SIDE

J. A Wilson of Russellville one of the dyed in the woor fans, writes the sporting editor a most consoling letter.
 Mir. Wilson thinks the sporting editor s judgment in predicting an entrance into the first division by August 1 was good, and cannot imagine why It happens that he will have to eat those hats of which there has been much discussion.
 He doesn't think it fair to make the sporting editor eat them all, and for reason offers to aid in the good work He will devour all on which we pay express.
 The best phrase in MT. Wilson's clever letter is:
 q have not lost hope. but somehow I expect nothing"
 How excellently he expresses what the fans have felt and left unsad for SO long
 In the same vein Mir Wilson continues concerning one of the local pitchers: And am disappointed in Ginger Clark but still believe him to be the best pitcher in the league"
 MT. Wilson remarks that Philadelphia has used Bartley but twice, and sug- gests that Vaughn try for him. He won ders, however, if the Barons would sup port Brown, Mathewson, Waddell or the like.
 The letter was very clever expression of what the true fans feel.
 The bugs have been picking an All Southern team. Here Is suggestion from Ashville, Ala, with no signature at tached:
 Pitchers. Bills, Eyler, Manuel, Will helm; catchers, Hardy, Seabaugh in- flelders, Meek, Jordan, Cross, Babb; out fielders, Rickert. Manning, Paskert; util- ity. Spade. Manager, Bill AK.
 A much better team could be chosen in Dixie than the one above.
 R. J. Kiefe, proprietor of ''The Hat Box" is a smart advertiser. He writes the sporting editor that 1t would be to his advantage if he would ask the fans to send him on august the hats which he Oliefe). sells for g. no more, no less Mir Kiefe declares that these are the most digestble hats on the market.

that deal. a clipping in What Others Say" gives information.
 Connie Mack has walked up, good ana stout. What do you think of that quar- tette of defeaters handed out to the cham pions of the world, the Chicago --ite Sox
 The Athletics. incidentally. will be right behind the pennant winners, even if they do not again land the gaudy rag of bat tle Chicago still leads, but Cleveland, after taking double-header yesterday from New York, renders the leaders very uncomfortable. Then Detroit is camping around the topmost boughs and things are getting mirthful and rosy. If our own race wasn't more entertaining, the fans in Dixie would do well to move a little north.
 There is absolutely nothing that could convince us that Birmingham will Tall to land the flag next season.
 All of which reminds that a manager under the Alabama child labor law can use a player of the tenderest age In the hottest sun. The said manager might know that the child is too young. but he who proves that the manager knows is going fast enough to land the rag in any old company
