LEAGUE SEASON
OPENS WEDNESDAY
All in Readiness For Opening Game
And Formal Pennant Raising BY
Last Seasons Champs.

All arrangements were completed at
a meeting of the various managers this
morning, for the opening of the City
League of baseball teams. The first
game will be between the Milford-Ber-
gers and the Colts.
The game will be played tomor-
row afternoon at Electric Park, the
grounds selected for all of the league
games this summer, and will be called
at $50 in order to give business men
and those employed in tI& offices Of
the city an opportunity 70 enjoy the
games. -s
The league has been reduced to four
teams and these are about equally
matched, if the dope reads right, and
some warm rivalry may be experienc'
ed in the fight for the coveted pennant
now held by the Jobbers, or Milford
Bergers 1t is impossible to make any
thing like a forecast of the result as
three of the teams this year are un
known quantities. The school team
has had the advantage of considerable
practice and should take the lead al
the start. However the other three
teams have good material and have
been getting in some practice the past
two weeks.
Tomorrow being the opening of the
season all of the players of the City
League will meet at the court house al
o'clock and march to the grounds
where the formal raising of the pen
nant will occur. These teams are al
made up of young men and boys wht
work and live in the city. The admis
sion has been made as small as pos
sible and earn enough to supply balls
and other paraphernalia. Much in
terest has been manifest and a biz
crowd is expected for the openini
game.
Thursday the Bankers and Higl
School meet and Friday the Milford
Bergers and Bankers will clash.

brilliant Mississippian. Nothwith-
standing the fact that he served with
Speaker Clark and Oscar Underwood
while he was the democratic leader
of the house, Senator John Sharp Will
liams, who has often been mentioned
as a presidential possibility, believes
that in the person of the New Jersey
executive lies the opportunity for DEM
ocratic success in the presidential
election this fall

Champ Clark and Mr.. Oscar Under

years in the house of representatives

Williams today, are much closer than
the relations constituted by my ac-
quaintance with Governor Wilson. My
sole reasons, therefore, for advocating
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson

elected, if nominated If elected, he
will make one of the very best presi-
dents we ever had. Hence as demo-
crat and as a citizen, favor him."

ANOTHER HAT
IN THE RING
Colonel Clarence g. Douglas Throws
His War Bonnet into SENATORIAL
Fsinn.

Muskogee, Okla, May 2.ts leap Big
Chief Coming Up -Out-of-the- -East-With.
Whiskers-on-His- Chin is off the reser-
vation on the warpath.
He has thrown mis- war bonnet into
the ring, put on his warpaint, and
hanging the scalps of past political
battles to his belt is on the hunt for
the scalp of still another, one Dyna-
mite Ed Perry of Coalgate, Oklahoma.
1t was yesterday evening that the
Big Chief tossed in his head feathers.
Tuesday morning he read in the
Phoenix that Ed Perry was out for the
senatorship, seeking Robert L. owens
robes of ermine. Heap Big Chief reads
English and writes it too. His Indian
name was given him year or SO ago
by tribe of Red-Men, who thought
him much hot stuff" His real name
lis Col. Clarence B. Douglas.
Long did Col. Douglas ponder upon
the announcement of Ed Perry's de-
but. Before nightfall yesterday he had
come to the conclusion that Ed Perry
must be defeated, he had searched the
field, scanned it high and low and far
and wide for available material and
had failed to find fitting candidate.
There was, is and can be but one
result born from such reasoning and
such conelusions-if no one else will
make the race to defeat Perry he must
do it himself
Col Douglas made his announce
ment last night most informally -he
made it in speaking with reporter OF
the Phoenix. But from what he said
and the way in which he said it these
facts incidental to his casting his hat
into the ring may be accepted.
He will not enter the race with an
Overwhelming desire to become a
United States senator from Oklahoma
He will not make the race pulling any
of the popular call of the people
rought stuff.
He will make it because Ed Perry
must be defeated and because he hon
estly believes he stands a better
chance than the rough-rider of dyna
mite fame and ballon ascension press
notices.
Col. Douglas is sincere in his an
nouncement. There is none of the
