OKLA. LEAGUE
S PROPOSED

Lawlon, Sept. 13.-Efforts are be-
ing made to form an Oklahoma Base
Ball association next year and to make
II class ID association. AT present
Joplin is a member OF the former
Southwestern association but the jump

for greater or less amounts.
II the class d association can be
formed next year there will be an
opportunity for Lawton to get into
the game. B. c. yihson, manager Of
the El Reno team, was in the city yes
terday and in discussing the situation
said that the outlook for the new ar
rangement is good. With the reduc-
ton to class d smaller salaries will
be paid with base ball practically as
good, and with the Joplin trip cut out
the opportunity for Oklahoma teams
10 play on a money-making basis is
good
Next year the teams in the prospec-
tive Oklahoma association will be
Guthrie, Enid, Tulsa, Sapulpa, Musko
gee. Bartlesyille ana either Shawnee
Chickasha or Lawton.
The schedule will include lao
games 10 on each diamond and a

In place of bringing down the prize
We get the bird of care.

The proper kind OF food.
That we can lay our hands upon
A member Of the brood.
Some say It is u mental trick
And we can so engage
Our minds that we may view it there
Before us in a cage.
AT any rate, we find il is

In full and simple fee;
About the best that we can do
Is view it up tree.

|SOOTHES WILD BEASTS.
Music Stops Fighting in Parker Zoo at
LeaVenVOrth

LeavenWorth, Kan, Dec. 21.-The
theory that music has power to soothe
and comfort wild beasts is being given
practical test by G.. w. Parker in his
zoo at Parkerville and is a success ac-
cording to the carnival king.
The animals get restless and tired in
the small cages. There is not enough
room for them to exercise sufficiently.
They get angry and cross and often a
fight results. 1t is dangerous when
the animals get mixed up, especially
when it is dark 1t is almost impossible
to separate them by force.
But there must be a way to quiet
wild animals, the attendants who stay
with the animals nights, thought. They
had been disturbed each night since
the animals became rested after the
long trip. There was no off night. AT
an early hour each morning they be-
| came restless and began growing and
fighting. Often it would take an hour
to get them quoted.
A merry-go-round piano has been re-
ceived to be stored with the show pro-
pertieS. The fight recently among the
young leopards was so fierce that the
| other animals were awakened. There
was trouble in every cage.
Cardona, chief trainer at the Zoo was
called from the sleeping car in which
| the show people live. He was able to
| stop the fighting but not the howls and
growls of the animals. He saw the
piano box and that gave him an idea
"a man acquainted with animals
knows that music will quiet them in a
storm or when they became nervous,
Cardona said. with the help of the
attendants we soon had the piano out
| of the box and making music. One OF
! the men turned the crank. 1t was only
after a few minutes that the music
| could be heard above the horrible
shrieks and cries of the animals. Ir
less than five minutes after the first
| piece was played the ZOO was quiet"

1T IS EXCHANGE DAY.
Patrol Driver Swops Manicure Set for
Curry SOmb.

Chicago. Dec. 27.-This is "Ex-
change Day at the big department
stores-the day on which Christmas
presents that were not appropriate
are exchanged for articles more suit
able.
From past experience the store
managers anticipate rushing BUSH
ness.
About 10 per cent of Christmas
presents are brought back for ex-
change said a State street merchant.
THE reason for this is that many gift
givers do not inquire into the wants
of those to whom they make presents.
The first day of business after
Christmas is a big one at the larger
stores, but the sales do not amount to
much in proportion to the goods that
are taken back.
Hundreds of amusing things take
place on exchange day. A patrol wa
gon driver at the Harrison street sta
ton exchanged a manicure, set that
his best girl gave him, for a curry
comb and brush
