OKOEE FAIR
ANOTHER SUCCESS

The big Okoee fair ended yesterday
by awarding premiums to those who
had brought in the best stuff. There
were plenty of good stock of all kinds
on exhibition, good enough to show at
a fair like Tulsa and Muskogee and
some signified their intention of TAX
ing their stock to the Muskogee fair
in October.
The Okoee fair is owned and oper.
ated exclusively by the farmers of
Mayes and Craig counties, being To-
Gated almost on the line between the
two counties and has been an annual
affair for the past ten of twelve years.
The fair this year was a decided sue
cess and has grown TO be bigger and
better fair every year since it started
and from a financial standpoint the
management has made more money
this year than any time since the fair
started. There were sixty concessions
Of different kinds on the ground most
of whom paid ten dollars for their
stand privilege. This is said to be the
largest concessio nof stand rights ever
known in Oklahoma.
While the crowd yesterday was not
as large as other days OF the fair it
was by far the best day on account of
the awarding of the premiums. Next
years the company will build stock
pens and make barn room for those
who have stock to exhibit which will
add much to the convenience of the
stock owners. Following is a list of
premiums awarded:

LONDON, September ia kindly
correspondent recently wrote to the
effect that he considered | was more
than fair in chronicling the success of
foreign sportsmen over Britishers,' but
often failed to give equal prominence
to the success of our men when the
positions were reversed. The writer
can only accept this as compliment
for he would far rather be over-tair to
our rivals than otherwise.
| There is also another side to the
matter, from point Of view of inter-
est. The success of the Australian
and French oarsmen at Henley regat-
ia, for instance, happened to be the
outstanding feature of. the regatta. 1t
was therefore the proper thing to give
the victors due recognition. Further,
the defeat Of British sportsmen strikes
most Britishers as something more ex-
oeptional than their victories. Until
quite recent times we were top dog"
in so many sports and pastimeS that
cur wins were accepted as matter of
course. The Olympic games move
ment has led to other nations making
big progress, and our supremacy has
been challenged in many directions.
This is all the better for internationl

Why not some cheering at the foot
ball games this year
1t is a big factor in heartening the
boys on the field. Nick thIey High had
a yell leader at the games last year
and he did his best to gdf the students
to boiler, and he got them to deliver
the goods. Now the Question arises
as to whether or not the High will
keep that spirit up frefias year to year;
When Punahou plays "a game of
football, or any other game for that
matter, the school is represented by a
large majority of the classmen who
generally keep up good deal of rack
let throughout the game. Il
A swell-drilled chorus led by a
snappy yell leader is big feature of
any football game, Take into consid-
Grafton any of the large high schools
on the mainland. Just as soon as
school commences in the fall the stu
dent body meets and cheer leader is
chosen. This is one of the first
things that is done. He is not merely
chosen at random, but there are gen.
orally two or. three fellows in line for
the position and the election arouses
keen interest, because what the stu
dents want is a leader-one that can
keep the noise going and keep the
crowd of rooters together. If the
school is exceptionally large, the lead
er generally has from one to two as
sistants, as the case may be. They
begin at once to hold meetings of all
the students, either at noon or after
school.
Every school expects every man to
come out to the games and contribute
his share of the noise. Then when
the first game is played, every student
knows the yells and how to give them.
And they make some noise, too!
Therefore, let's have some cheering
at the football games this year.

.PALzER TO QUIT BOXING
Big IoWan Declares He Is Now
!. Tired of Fight Game; Is Co.
ing Back to the Farm

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-According to
q statement made by Al Palzer, the
foremost white hope of the country
has made UP his mind to retire from
the ring for q time and go back to
the farm. Although the hurley Iowa
farmer has worked his way to the
forefront of all his numerous competi,
tors, he has become thoroughly dis
couraged over his inability to get
bouts. This is due to the fact that
he refuses to box under the manage.
ment of the man who holds a con.
tract on his services.
81 have decided to go back home
said the big fellow in telling his
troubles. IF Tom O'Rourke would
put up a bond guaranteeing to give
me fair treatment l would be willing
to go back to him, but he has repeat
eddy refused to do this. l can't trust
him and l will never fight under his
management again unless 1 know I
am going to get a square deal
81 have been trying to get court
decision on whether my contract will
hold good, but I can't get any action
on it. As the question remains, it is
up to O'Rourke to make the first
move. but he keeps putting it off. l
have been hanging around doing
nothing long enough, and l am tired
of it all. am young yet and l have
lots of time. 1 think I'll go back to
the farm and wait until the contract
runs out. ! am going home anyway,
and unless O'Rourke will come to
terms with me I will not come back
until I am a free agent again"
Palzer is feeling bitter not only to-
ward O'Rourke but the local pro-
motors as well, who he declares are
not treating him fairly. He realizes
that what he needs most of all at
this stage of his career is plenty Of
work in the ring. 1t inks him sadly to
see the other big fellows whom he
characterizes as easy marks" get
ting the money while he is forced to
remain idle
Palzer hints darby of many wheels
within wheels in the local boxing sit
uation and intimates that he could
tell a tale that would cause certain
persons to sit up and take notice ii
he cared to.

baseball game was played yesterday
afternoon between Companies B and
G of Kamehameha school, and Com
pany B came off victorious, winning
over Company C by a score Of 80
The game was splendid, both teams
straining to their utmost to beat each
other. They were both very evenly
matched and, that tended to heighten
the interest in the game. 4
Before this game the standing OF
the Companies was as follows:
Company. A, IL points. =
Company B, Is points. ....- III
Company c, Is points.
Company A dropped out before the
finals and the championship was left
to be fought for by Companies B and
C with the results above mentioned.
Z Companies B and c held together
throughout the whole baseball season
and there was good deal of doubt
as to who would be the winner. Com
pany A was composed of smaller and
less experienced players but they did
well and their efforts are certainly
worthy of commentator.
According to a previous arrange
ment the company that wins the

points and the company which has
