BATTLING TODAY
FOR SUPREMACY ON THE LOCAL
DIAMOND THIS AFTERNOON
WEATHER CONDITIONS BAD.

The weather this morning put a
crimp in the ardor of the local fans
who have been living in anticipation
for the past week of the game be
tween the locals and the Grizzlies of
the Western league. but the sun came
out about noon and while the weather
is anything but ideal, it promises to
improve and good crowd will be on
hand to see the Ardmore team per-
form against the Denver aggregation.
From press reports 1t would seem
that the locals will have to hustle to
get a look in, but one of the features
that has made the great American
game so popular is its glorious un-
certainty.
Here's hoping that the locals will
give the visitors a warm reception,
and demonstrate the fact that they
are worthy opponents of any Of the
teams in the new OF league.

TALKS TO STUDENTS.
Roosevelt Tells Them How He Was
Groomed for Presidency.

Missoula, Mont, April lin an
address to the students of the state
university today, Theodore Roosevelt
expressed himself at greater length
than he has before done on his trip on
the Importance of vocational educa-
tion. He declared for the las. so
years the educational institutions Gf
the United States, the common
schools, and the university, has been
tending away from the true object of
education the preparation of students
for their life work. Too great stress
laid upon cultural education and an
almost complete disregard for voca-
tional training he held responsible
for this result.
Mr.. Roosevelt opened his address
with a review of his first visit to Mis-
soula, % years ago.
He referred to his life as a cattle
man on the Little Missouri. and re
peated the assertion that had he never
lived in the Short grass country"
and learned to know and love the
west, he never would have become
president OF the United States.
Senator Dixon interrupted Mr..
Roosevelt to ask that he speak on the
commission form of government. The
ex-president complied at once, saying
that in municipalities not swollen to
great size. where this form of admin
is tratlon of public affairs had been
tried, it had proved successful. The
short ballot, he said, provided the
means by which the average citizen
could take an intelligent part in the
affairs in the community in which he
lived.
