GREAT is OKLAHOMA
reat country, this

Great state OF Ohldhohldt
II has been called the best state In
the union, and justly so.
At the same time II has been called
the most pestiferous in the union.
Sometimes the latter seems TO be
the likely expression Oklahoma has
been known to have hotwinds, green
bugs, floods. chiatzbugs, hail, cyclones,
boil weeviI. drouths and every other
sort OF calamity fetchers, all in the
same season, and then come out with
a higher average of cotton, corn,
wheat oats, alfalfa milo maize, Kaffir
corn, cane. potatoes, etc, than any
other state in the union.
There is no state In the union
where crops of so wide a diversified
nature can be successfully grown as
in Oklahoma, and successfully grown
amid the worst of drawbacks.
Oklahoma is not only the greatest
crop state in the union. and not only
the most pestiferous state in the union,
but Il Is the most recuperative com-
monwealth in the world
A week ago. experts sent out tie
report that Oklahoma's corn crop
would be double in acreage production
than any previous year in its history
Wednesday a report was sent out that
unless a rain fell in four days, half
the crop would be ruined wednes.
day night and Thursday morning
brought a rain that fairly soaked the
state from Missouri to New Mexico
and from Kansas to Texas, and the
corn crop was saved-it will surprise
the world In amount Of average to tie
acre.
Great Is Oklahoma.
Show us another state in the union.
or show us another section of couh-
try IN the universe, where wheat, cot
ton, alfalfa, corn, oats, milo maize.
Kafir corn cane, barley potatoes. and
every kind Of fruit and vegetables can
be successfully grown in the same
season on the Same ground
In Oklahoma there is no such
thing as failure OF crop,
A farmer can put out crop OF
wheat. and II per chance II is ruined
by hall or the greenbug, he has ample
time to plow the ground and raise a
bumper cotton crop # the ground is
too dry for wheat II viii raise cotton.
II II is too wet for cotton It viii raise
alfalfa, corn or potatoes
Crop failures are unknown in Okla
homa. A farmer may lose one crop
but before the season is over he has
an opportunity to get even on another
crop or something else
Great is Oklahoma
Ok.ahoma's land. no matter in what
section of the state at an average Of
$50 and $40 per acre. will produce
more marketable products In year

NEW B. B. LEAGUE
To Consist of 8 Clubs and to De Known
 as Com. Valley League.
"POP" MORAN, PROMOTER

The Connecticut Valley League.
 What do you know? Eight amateur clubs. one in this city. are about to band together and form a league which will book games for every Sat urday and Sunday during the summer Of 1910. Perhaps you may think that such a thing. though probable, will never pan out. It will if the young than sincere in their efforts, work to- gether for the good of all. Pop" Moran, manager of the St. Charles of this city and who. fathered the Park City League, one of the best little or ganizations ever put forth in this city, is the local promoter, which means that Bridgeport will be looked after as it should be.
 The idea is this: Bridgeport, Fair field, Southport. Stratford, Shelton, Milford, Ansonia and Derby all have amateur teams, all at various times playing with one another. Get a club from each of these towns, forming a baseball league which will open the eyes of the professions. Expenses will be nothing, the greatest being that of Southport to Ansonia, which will be something like 25 cents each way a man.
 Some cranks may shout and yell out that the boys would play few games and then quit. Probably so if they were playing every day in the week. buI nere IL IS OnIy .Saturday ana sun day, and as the boys play baseball on those days only, it can be seen that there'll be something doing next sea- son. Then watch the other clubs about town envy the St. Charles. It's their idea, has been advanced for some time, has had careful thought over, not the thought of a moment, and is about to be put into tangible form. It is the intention of representatives of all the, towns named to get together in A.nsonia within a few weeks and take the preliminary steps for the for nation. It's a big jump to next sea- son., all winter is ahead, but during that time the boys will have been ar ranging their plans, fitting out their clubs, and be in readiness when the curtain rings up. Here's hoping them success.

No Arrangement for Playing /" City Championship '' Reached by Managers Ritchel and O'Brien.

Manager Ritchel of the West Ends and Manager OBrien of the South Ends, with their advance agents and war correspondents, met last evening and discussed plans for the play off of the supposed City championship. The result of the whole meeting was that terms could not be agreed upon that were satisfactory to both clubs, the matter now standing as before it was preached. Manager Ritchel present. ed his line up to Manager O'Brien. O'Brien did the same to Manager Ritchel. Nineteen men were includ- ed in the roster of the West Ends while only twelve were with the South Ends. Of the nineteen with the West Ends, nine were out of town men, who came to this city to play ball on Sun- days. These men Manager Ritchel de- sires to contest for the City champion ship if such thing is to be played. But the West Ends, it seems do not wish to play for the City Champion sihp, rather having it that if any team desires to play the West Ends a ser ies, they will have to play the West Ends and not any part of it. It is probable that both managers will again get together and settle affairs, and put their teams right with the sporting public.
