Jack Holland has secured Dusty Mil
Ter, the former Jobber outhelder and
Miller will report at once to the Wich-

The following wall is from the
Springfield Republican. which paper is
tired of supporting a near tailender
for two years in succession: All, sor-
rowing fan and fannette, 1t begins to
look like you'd be glued to the mourn
er's bench, like house flies to a sheet
of tangle-foot to the close of the sea-
son. There's only one consolation for
local fandom. If that bunch of nave
ricks from Enid stick to the corral the
chances are that Hayden's aggregation
will not be bumped off the last step in

The Enid News is authority for the
statement that Roxey Middleton, the
young outfielder of the Wichita team is
really the property of Enid. According
to the News, Middleton was acquired
by Enid through the transfer of the
