linn Crack Outfielder.

There was no blare of trumpets when
the Highlanders bought the release of
Guy linn from the Altoona club Of
the Tristate league last year. Guy
was no high priced, highly touted phe-
nom of the O'Toole- Marquard- Russell
class, but an ordinary garden variety
of green rookie. Guy jimmied his way
into about a dozen games on the hill
top last season-nOt enough to get into
the official averages. He played few
good games. but did not look as If he
possessed big league caliber. Before
going south this year Guy was not
conceded a chance to stick with the
big fellows, as it was thought that
Wilfred Osborn. the former Phillie.
would land the substitute outfield va
cancy.
However. linn not only landed the
job as substitute outfelder. but in
three days clinched a regular position.
The poor showing of the team has
thrown shadow over the good work
he has been doing With New York up
in the race the praise Of this youth
would be sung all over. linn gives
promise of developing into great bat
ter. He hits the ball hard. and. what is
more. does his hitting in the pinches.
Many times this season he has made
good with runners on the trails. linn
is no Ty Cobb on his feet. but he
covers big area of ground in the out
field and is fairly fast on the bases.
He has made more hits than any other
member of the Highlanders this sea-
son. and it looks as if he is in the big
leagues to stay.

Motorboat Handicappinq.

One thing has been settled in the
present controversy as to the system
Of handicapping high speed motorboats.
and that is that from now on hydro
planes of the various types will be
compelled to race in separate classes
from displacement boats. AS to the
handicapping dispute no general basis
has as yet been decided upon. The
rules Of the American Power Boat as

all cruiser. classes in which all the
boats are of the displacement type.

THAT GOOD ROADS MEETING.
Delegation May Attend Atoka Meet
ing From Ardmore.


Tomorrow will be the big day in
good roads circles in southeastern
Oklahoma. Delegates representing
those interested in the movement to
give us good roads which will bring
our fields and gardens to the door
way of the consumer, will be in at
tendance at Atoka, from almost ev-
cry city and town of any prominence
In this section of the state.
No official delegation will go from
this city. but it has been given out
by one or two that they may go.
Had the matter of rates been taken
up with the railroad companies they
would have been glad to have given
a reduced round trip rate between
this city and Atoka ana the proDa-
blities are that large number
comparatively, of representative cit
liens, including quite few who are
interested in the real estate of
rli,s section would have attended.
The question Of gooc roacs is one
of the greatest Importance to all
people OF this state who are inter
ested in the future of the state. No
so much to build up a state, or any
section thereof, as good roads. Once
let the people of other states. thos'
seeking new home, learn that Il
certain other state is one wherein
the issue of good roads Is live
one an issue that is being constant
" agitated and kept before the pub
lie and that is the state that will
be chosen as the one offering the
greatest inducements to both the
investor and the home seeker.
Carter county has some of III
finest farming lands, as well as
