BASEBALL is THE
oNL YHoNEST GAME
BY Bozeman Buleer.


Baseball Is the one great American
el. Its success Is due chiefly 10 the
fact that the American fans worship
at the shrine of a winner. 1t would
be impossible 10 jockey with the game
or fix them. The PLAYERS realize
that their bread and butter depends
upon their individual records. On the
other hand, the clubs which win are
the ones which draw the big crowds.
The gate receipts furnish all the
money that Is turned into baseball.
The clubs do not gamble on the re-
suit. The receipts are divided equally,
no matter where the games are play
ed. The only advantage to the home
club is that 1t gets the extra rs cents
charged for the seats in the grand.
stand. In other words. the gate re-
ceipts are placed on basis of 30 cents
for every spectator. and of this the
visiting club gets rs cents.
The baseball player of today is an
honorable sportsman. He is such
from a matter of pride, as well as the
fact that he has TO be. TIE big

of ball player on the field is ten
years. Many star players have dis

some wonderful fielding.
Those things have bobbed up In
Wagner's baseball career many times
during the last twelve years. But he

slstently and the consistency with
which he does things is what has kept
the name of Wagner on the tongues Of
the men who play and the men and

JURY ACQUITS
THE WYCKL|FFES
Defense Entered Plea That Evidence
Did Not Identity The Accused
as cilstrap's Slayers.

Tahlequah, Okla, Mar II. - The
Wyckliffe brothers, picturesque char
acters or territorial days, alleged out
laws, were yesterday adjudged inno-
cent of the murder of Deputy Marshall
Ike Gilstrap, by the order of Judge
Pitchford of the district court
The trial of the Wyckliffes on charge
of murder was instituted here Monday
under change of venue from the dist
rict court of Delaware county, before
district Judge j. H. Pitchford.
Wyciffes' counsel entered demur-
rer to the states evidence, setting up
the plea that the evidence outlined
failed to adduce sufficient indentifica-
tion CT the Wycliffes to serve as a
basis for prosecution.
Sustaining the demurrer, Judge
Pitchford, ordered the jury to return
a verdict of not guilty in the case of
Tom Wyckliffe
AT this iuncture, County Attorney
Coppedge Of Delaware county, con
ducting the prosecution, moved that
the indictment against John Wyck-
life be quashed, and the defendant
dismissed.
The court room was crowded with
friends of the defendants, who upon
the favorable turn of affairs, gave
decided demonstration Of the popu-
larity of the verdict.
The two men, charged with the
killing of Marshall GiIstrap are full
blood Cherokees, sons Of John Wyck-
life, who for many years served as
a Justice of the Cherokee supreme
court
Following the killing of Gilstrap
two years ago the Wyckliffes were
pursued for two months by United
States Marshall Darrough and As dep
uties who we're considered the best
marksmen in the territory The man
hunt continued for three months and
the deputies were paid $3.50 per day
but the quest proved unsuccessful.
After statehood Charles Wyckliffe,
one Of the brothers, was killed, where
upon the other boys agreed to sur
render to Gov Haskell if they were
given fair trial. The proposition
was accepted and eight months ago
they surrendered to Sheriff Sanders
of Cherokee county and Sheriff Ho-
gan of Hayes county.

BALL TEAM AT CLAREMORE

The Vinita high school basket bali
team goes to Claremore this evening
to play the team of that town in
post-season game. The Vinita boys
beat Claremore two games during the
regular season, which closed two
weeks ago, but it seems the Clare
more bunch is not Wiling to let it go
at that. The locals have done no
practicing since their last game at
Chelsea, two weeks ago, but they are
always willing to oblige competing
teams, hence this game with Tulsa
Since going out of practice in basket
ball the Vinita highs have organized
a base ball team, with Bert Belew as
captain. in which they expect to main
tain the same standard of efficiency
that has marked their efforts in foot
ball and basket ball To do this the
boys realize they wlh have to hustle,
as other high schools in eastern Okla
homa will have good teams with which
they expect to cross bats. The foot
ball team lost only one game during
the season. while the basket ball team
beat hat record by winning all their
games. The base ball team will be
composed of the same kind of timber.
