was of the same lineage as Mary. Queen

en- Mr.. Slaughter and he will be
sworn in and will make bond at
once.
Mr. lizard, when asked this morn
ing if any legal proceedings would
be resorted to to prevent Mr.. Slaugh-
ter from assuming office he stated
that he did not know. Attorney Will
Cruce said he had not been con-
suited about bringing any proceed
ings and w. B. Johnson made the
same statement. These men have
heretofore represented Mr.. Ikard in
legal matters and if any work in
this line was done it was expected
that they would be employed.
Chief Slaughter has made no
statement as to whom he would name
chief of police in case the police
department was given him. It has
been stated that there was like
lihood that the police department
would be placed under the super
vision of Commissioner Burnitt
Mr.. Burnitt, when seen about the
matter said no such agreement had
been entered into, that he was do
ing very well with the department
he had and would not care to be
disturbed in his work by being placed
in charge of other departments of
the city.

Ikard Police Judqe,

Police Judge Len G. Shelton is alb
sent from the city and ayor Dawson
appointed Police Commissioner lkard
to serve in his stead. Mr.. Ikard con-
vened court this morning. Sears Roe
buck Russell was one of the Offend
ers before his honor. The defendant
had been especially active against Mr..
IIkard and hil enthusiasm got the
better or him and it is alleged that
he drank too freely of bug juice
and was cared for by the police force
Russell asked for continuance. The
judge asked for how long. The de-
fendant replied until the Judge was
clear out of office. The case was con-
tinued.

Commis ssioner Slaughter Now.

l.. C. Slaughter, after receiving his
certificate of election from the county
election board, filed his bond and took
the oath of office promptly at 10:30
this morning The bond was filed
with City Clerk George Henry Bruce
and the oath of office was admins
tered by that official. Mr.. Slaughter

the fourth ward at 1920 this morn
ing.

the moral right to contest the cleo
tion,' said citizen this morning,
and this sentiment seems to prevail
throughout the city.
Mr.. lizard was elected on what was
termed a moral wave that swept
the city at the last general election.
The people now seem to have tired
of the moral wave" government
and they want a change. Frequent
assertions were made yesterday that
the mayor would be recalled next.
While there are some citizens who
would welcome such procedure as
the recall Of the mayor yet it Is be-
lieved they are in the minority and
such a petition is hardly expected.
Talk of seeking a candidate to op-
pose Mayor Dawson next spring was
heard this morning on the streets
and there were many expressions OF
dissatisfaction with the commission
form of government.
L. c. Slaughter, who was chosen
yesterday by popular vote OF the
people as member of the board
of city commissioners is one of
the most popular men in Ardmore.
He is pioneer citizen and an
owner of business and residence pro-
perty. He served on the board of
aldermen in an early day and made
most excellent official. Ten years
ago he was placed at the head OF
the fire department and he has serV-
ed there in a manner that has CIV
en- universal satisfaction. He has
built the department to one of the
very best in the state and his rec
ord as a fire chief IS well known
all over the state and with all the
insurance companies in the United
States. Mr.. Slaughter goes into
office without having made prom
ise to any individual. Whom he
will appoint chief of police no one
knows and the probabilities are that
he himself does not know. That
there will be general shake-up
in the police department goes with
out saying. There are several ap-
pl!cants for chief and Mr.. Slaughter
stated that he wanted to give the
people what they want and that he
would not he unmindful OF their
demands. d. E. Booker, Fred Will
liams, Lee Mccoy and Dan Blackburn
are spoken of as being applicants
for the place. Chief Slaughter made
his bond early this morning and IS
ready 70 take the oath of office at
any time.

Total vote cast 1,036.

Mr.. lizard was elected about
year and half ago to serve for four
years. He was placed in charge of
the police and fire departments.
General dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed against his management
from time to time and the dissatis-
faction finally resulted in a recall
election. 1t may be said to the cred

Many a scribe misses a prediction, ana
1t is evident that some will this year.
When the American league race was be-
gum the scribes were nearly unanimous
in the prediction that the Athletics would
make a runaway race for the American
League pennant. However, the nearer
October draws the more evident 1t Is
that the Red Sox of Boston will cop the
pennant.
The Red Sox are now leading Mack d
Co. by nearly IL games. Although the
Athletics made a miserable start last
season, the Mackmen started to hit their
stride at the half way mark of the sea-
son-July 4. However. this year the Ath-
letics have passed the half way station
and have shown no inclination to pass
the Red Sox and the Red Sox have shown
no inclination to allow the Athletics to
pass them.
Not only are the Red Sox In the way,
hut the pesky tossers of the Washington
club are going finely. Every pitcher OF
the Beaneaters is young. Hall, Joe
Wood, Bedient, and Buck O'Brien are
Youngsters and are working in sensational
style. On the other hand, the Athletics
have a pitching crew of older and less
aggressive pitchers.
None of the Athletics twirlers who was
strong last season has been unbeatable
this season. The batting record of the
Philadelphia Mackmen is puny. The out
field is in wretched and deplorable shape.

not hitting hard enough to win a pen

There is little doubt but that Almeida
is the hardest hitter in the Southern
league. Not only is the Cuban leading
in percentage. but he slams the ball hard
er than any other man in the circuit.
When Almeida connects with the ball it
usually goes like a rifle bullet. Yester-
day he raped out two of the hardest
hit balls that have been seen this sea-
son, one of which was a three Dagger
and the other a sacrifice fly.
The Cuban has been hitting In ill-luck
Although he has been lining the ball to
the outfielders, he has been unable TO hit
1t safely. Sunday in the city of the Tur-
ties, the Barons declare that the Cuban
lined out to the Memphis gardeners twice
and that If the ball had been any other
place. 1t would have been good for a
triple at least.
However. Almeida is not discouraged
and says that he will go after them and
that the luck is bound to change. With
out a doubt. the Barons agree that the
Cuban has been robbed of more safe
hits than any other individual in the
league.
