new LEAGUE
PROPOSED

Ardmore, Olda, Jan. 1S.-Mr. Gus
Wehying, former star pitcher for the
Philadelphia league team, representing
the Oklahoma Sporting Goods com
pany is in the citg today in the in
terest of baseball and the new league,
and he speaks very fayorably Of H..
He has Travelled extensively over the
state and says there is no doubt what
ever but that the league will make
good jas there is quite good deal Of
interest worked up in all the different
towns Of the state, and all that is
needed now is for the different towns
to get together, call a meeting and
organize as the season is coming on
and it will soon be time to make ar
rangements for exhibition games, as
there are several American and Ma
tional league clubs that are anxious
to arrange dates on their way back
north.
The promoters of the new league
are still getting letters of inquiry
from towns, both in this state and in
Texas, in which they express them
selves as very favorable to 'the Or
ganization Of this league and ask that
the meeting be called as soon as pos
sible. A letter has been received from
F. p st. Clair, general superintendent
of the Wichita Falls Traction com
pany, in which he says that Wichita
Falls is ready to attend the meeting
with the proper credentials and back
ing to enter the league. So the out
look now is for one of the best leagues
of its class in the Southwest.
The interest being manifested in
this proposed new league by every
town proposed is very pronounced.
The fans have the assurance chat the
franchises will only be granted to
men who possess experience in base
ball, as one fan expressed it, in a let
ter received: "We are tired Of bunch
OF transformers and are anxious for
organized baseball If you can deliver
the goods, we are anxious to cooper
ate with you" Ardmore has given the
assurance that nothing but first
class league will be organized and
will be under the protection Of the
national agreement in class d. !" which
In itself assures the patrons Of the
game that they will see real base
ball.

MEETING
ISCALLED


AT a meeting Of representatives Of
the Trades Council, carpenters, paint-
ers and teamsters unions and the so
cialistic local, held at the City hall
last night, it was decided to call a
meeting to protest against the impris-
onment OF Fred d. Warren, editor Of
the Appeal to Reason, under the order
OF federal court.
BY order Of a committee the meeting
was called for Wednesday evening,
Jan. 25. at which time arrangements
for big protest meeting on February
u Will be perfected. All the labor or
ganizations in the city are invited and
urged to send delegates to the pre-
meeting.
A statement issued by the commit
tee says: I'VE believe Warren IS made
to suffer because Of his interest and
loyal devotion to the cause of organ
lied labor. Leaders and represents-
tives Of labor organizations all over
the United States are being imprison-
ed and if labor is to retain its right
of free speech and free press in this
land of the free and the home of the
brave. we must cease to be like dumb,
driven cattle and become heroes in
the strife, proclaiming open revolt
against the usurpation Of power by des-
Dotic courts, used relentlessly against
those who perform the useful labor
Of our country"
