The Cincinnati fighter fell heavily to

Referee Edward w. Cochrane.

battle with both hands. Heretofore
his work with his left hand had been

Schreck made a poor showing. He

really didn't care whether II hit the
batter in the head or not. The use
OF such a delivery was simply to in
timidate the batsmen, who fearing
they might be hit, would back away
from the plate. Having got them the
proper distance from the plate,
Hughes would proceed to break his
sweeping curve over the outside cor
ner, and make them look foolish.
Such methods OF course helped him
largely in establishing the strikeout
record for the league, 222, an average
OF better than a game. II was also
largely responsible for his 129 bases
on balls, which was the high water
mark for complimentary passes, and
IA wild pitches, the high figure In that
respect. Only as to hit batsmen did
Hughes fail to set the record, many
of the pitchers averaging more than
seven hit-by- pitcher balls. Tom GER

As night came on he became so be-

Pitcher With Unique Career
Joins McAleer'S Statesmen

Pitcher Tom Hughes, who will try
to help Jimmy McAleer finish up
around the top of the second division
this summer, had a decidedly unique
season last year in the American as
ISOLATION. His record would make 1t
appear as II he was still some pitcher,
and would prove OF much benefit to
Mr.. McAleer.
AS Is wellknown, Hughes led the
association pitchers with an average
OF .721, winning 80 and losing IL
games. His great work was largely
instrumental in Minneapolis, winning
the pennant. Besides leading the
league in victories won, Hughes also
finished on top In the three other
ORANGES of the pitching game.
Batters who have faced Hughes are
not a bit backward In saying that one
OF his most successful balls is the

MORRIS WILL MEET

Tulsa, Okla, April 3.--With chal-
lenges before him from Sandy Fergu-

ner Moir, Arthur Felkey, Jim Barry,
Jim Flynn and others, which have
come since Morris knocked out Mike
Schreek at Sapulpa last Tuesday,
Frank Ufer, millionaire manager Of
Carl Morris, today issued the follow
ing signed statement
Carl Morris will engage in no box
ing contests at present. 1t is impos-
sible to accept all of the challenges
now before him. If they will but await
their turn, all of these challenging
pugilists, with a record, will be ac-
commodated. | am confident that
each and every one of them will re-.
ceiye the treatment Marvin Hart and
Mike Schreck got, and by waiting they
will get it in less time than at pres
ent.
"The performance of Morris in the
bout with Schreck was very satisfac-
tory to myself and to his trainer, Con
Riley. Such criticisms as have been
hurled at him by disappointed pro-
moters and certain sporting writer's
does not affect or disturb Carl Morris
or the plans l have for him.
ut is fact that in the seven bat
ties in which he has engaged all of
his opponents have gone the knock
out route, as shown by the following
record:
Tim Burley, Muskogee, rounds,
Ed Anderson, Tulsa, 5 rounds; Bait
ling Britt, Sapulpa, round; Jim Har-
per, Tulsa, 8 rounds; Marvin Hart, Sa-
pulpa, 8 rounds; Spike Kennedy, Bart
lesville, 2 rounds; Mike Schreck, Sa-
pulpa rounds.

gave Carl Morris even a tryout"

ELECTION BOARD DELAY
COUNTY APPOINTMENTS

Oklahoma City, April 3.-The state
election board has temporarily sus-
pended the appointment of county cleo
ton boards pending the holding of city
elections in most of the cities of the
state which have not adopted the
commission form of government.
These elections will be held generally
throughout the state on April 4. The
municipal authorities of several cities
have requested the state board not to
appoint new boards until after the
municipal elections ON the ground that
this action might result in confusion.
In appointing election boards for the
various counties the state election
board is adhering to the policy of Sc
lecting two of the members of the
board from the nominations submitted
by the chairmen of the county demo-
cratic and republican organizations.
The third member, the secretary of
the board, is selected by the state
board upon recommendation of the
various county democratic organiza-
tions except where a factional fight
exists which makes it impossible for
local democrats to agree upon man.

First GulIy-Washer in Months And
Will Be of Great Benefit TO Pas

From Mondays Daily

For six hours today the whole north
eastern portion of Oklahoma was treat
ed to the first real gully-washer in sew
eral months. Rain first began falling
at o'clock this morning but then only
showers fell. About 6 o'clock it be-
came steady downpour that continu-
ed until noon. The rain this forenoon
was of untold value to the farmers of
Craig and surrounding counties. The
greatest benefit will be to the hay and
pasture lands, where the exceeding
dry weather has greatly retarded the
grass.
Many farmers have planted their
corn and if warm weather follows this
rain, it will be greatly benefited The
greatest benefit to Vinita, directly, is
the washing out of Bull creek, whose
waters had become so stagnant that
they were a menace to the health of
the town
The indications are that the rain is
not yet over.

THEIR VISIONS GOOD
President Lynch Puts National League
Umpires' Eyes to Severe Test.

New York, April President T. j.
Inch of the National League has
complied with the wishes of the club
owners of his organization and has
made an investigation as to the pow
ers of vision of his umpires. Not
long ago | issued orders to the nine
men of my umpire staff to have their
eyesight thoroughly tested" said Mr..
Lynch today, and l fell more than
gratified with the outcome. Good eyes
alone, | know, do not make good UNI
pires; but they are good umpires
first and best asset The result of
theseexaminations should atisfy the
public, club owners and players that,
if umpires make mistakes-as they
are bound to do-they are the result
mostly of giving their decisions too
quickly or from bad angles on the
playing field
Il have not taken it upon myself to
pass judgment on these certificates of
eye tests with their technical terms.
but have submitted them to DR.. Royal
S. Copeland, one of the most eminent
oculists of New York City. He is
noted authority on eye diseases, and
VISA for many years professor of
ophthalmology at the University of
Michigan, and is now dean of the med
ical college of Flower Hospital and
oculist-in-chief at this institution AT
my request Dr. Copeland has care
fully studied the various tests and
has summed them up in the following
authoritative and interesting report,
which give to you verbatim
DIR. COPELAND'S REPORT.
Doctors differ about many things,
but they are all agreed on the meth
DDS of determining the seeing power
of the human eye. Test cards are uni
formly constructed and everywhere
employed in one way. Instruments of
precision make it possible to examine
the vital parts of the visual apparatus,
and the system of recording the re-
suits of eye examinations is univer-
sally employed
The oculists examining the um-
pires of the National League are wide
ly separated geographically, but their
reports are written in a language in
telligible to every specialist in eye
diseases. These reports indicate nor
NAL vision in every case, and, in sew
eral instances, vision far above the
average.
