BASEBALL Seems
A HOAX IN TULSA
CRY SEEMS no BE LOSING GRASP
Oh RAlLROADERS.
NO TAKERS FOR The Gift
The way I0oks Dark and StOrmy--A
New BDrn Arrangement May
Result la .---

Tho baeo.nl situation IS getting
Jubcrous" IN so far as Tulsa is con-
ccmcd
Tulsa faua few days ago thought
that c,cryta ng was rosy But those
fans were wrong There is team
commonly sailed the Tulsa Railroad
nrs at Independence playing under
the name OF Tulsa That team play
cd fifteen games In Tulsa. II may
never play ball at this place again
Tom Hayden is the owner OF the
Bailroaders when Sir Thomas left
Tulsa to 20 TO Independence he left
with the words that unless the base
bah cranks Of Tulsa showed that they
really meant business the team would
never remrn, When asked in what
way the faLs could show their spirit
Sir Thoma, 0uoth:
"Soll the rest Of those booster tick
cts."
II was then fixed up to turn tho
lrN'ls ove' to b. b. Leecratt one
of the mos, consistent baseball boost
ers IN the city to finish the sale. Mr.
Lee'faIt mas all OF the tickets That
are IeII' Ihese are 1oo IN number
| and If Mr.. Lcccruft succeeds In get
ung them S0d the team VIII return
to Tulsa. This is the dcrl
beh's are common In the Tulsa
sporting world but the way Hayden
S'ld the word seemed as If he meant
business defiance
Hayden stated to a bunch OF news
paper Wril'rs at the South Main
street park before the team left Iul-
Sa thnt he was willing TO give the Tul-
Sa team to anyone who wanted IT,
and give u away without any strings
attached. Irero Is certain element
of the city that VIII not patronizo
Hayden II Us up To those who make
up TINS part of the Tulsa baseball fans
To come across. Hayden states ne
VIII give th" team away This Is the
chance Tor those who wish no moro
of Hayden
Some people say that Tulsa Is too
large for an prejudice In the matter
OF baseball The prejudice, however
exists. The team has been playing
oall, In the recent series at home
the winning streak OF Fort smith was
stopped Two games out OF three
were won from Muskosce' The Tulsa
team hasnt any lease on the cellar
now 1t Is not matter of punk
baseball u's something else eNld
| IDENTIFY
If Tulsan5 VIII not forget prejudice
and all join in for good or bad IN
baseball something else must be done
Now that baseball has been started II
would Doe "A real black eye to Tulsa to
let the team slip.
Hayden stated that he was willing
TO give the team to any Tulsan; ~
also stated that ne had In mind two
| places whore the team can go ana
make money. How would II be to
let 1t ro2 II It goes, then It viii be
/ one Of two things: Tulsa must make

over az Fort Smith the Scouts, who
| under the direction OF Art RIGGS, are
| Leading In the pcnnont race, are blink
Ing half of the time Fort smith al
ways was. ana possibly always VIII
be, a slow town for baseball Not
/ SO with Tulsa which has lots and lots
/ of citizens who appreciate real base
ball,
How about moving Riggs aegre-

have q winning team? Riggs would
| Ice only too glad to come II Tulsa
/ would give support
Tho team might be moved to Tulsa
ON june 90 Between that date and
/ the end Of the season would be 80
