to weigh into the balance against hu

We are making no suggestions. The
matter is before the fathers and
mothers of the children who will at
tend this school They are the ones
to say whether the building is to be
of "ordinary" or fireproof construc-

whether the children of Ardmore will
be subjected to daily danger or
death from the destruction Of this
building from fire or not.
All the fire drills that We're ever
invented and beaten into the heads
of the army of children who will be
in daily attendance during the greater
part of the time within the walls OF
the Atdmore high school structure
can not prevent the most serious of
fatalities in case of fire, nor can any
thing that may be done in future nit
igate the carelessness of the parents
in standing for" any save non

Charles Page one Of Tulsa's best

the sharpers are working, and they

is evidenced by the fact that the game

OKLAHOMA State
LEAGUE FOR TRUE
ONLY OKLAHOMA TOWNS HAVE
BERTHS-FANS ARE INSURED
A FULL SEASON.

The Oklahoma State League now
fulfills its name. With the elimina-
ton of Fort Smith, and the substi-
tuting of Holdenville, the circuit is
made up exclusively of oklahoma
towns.
March goth was the last day on
which the towns could deposit their
$500 guarantee money and retain
their franchise. Late Wednesday
night Bob Crsman, at Fort Smith,
wires President Meyer at Oklahoma
City, that he thought he could have
the $500 raised by Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock. At this hour Thurs
day a representative Of Holdenville
was in President Meyers office at
Oklahoma City. The Fort Smith
money was not forthcoming. In ac-
cordance with the resolution passed
at the McAlester meeting of the
league magnates recently, President
Meyer declared the Fort Smith fran
ohlse forfeited and gave the berth
to Holdenville, at the same time re-
sewing Holdenville's forfeit.
Four thousand dollars now reposes
in Meyers hands, as an insurance to
the public that the Oklahoma State
League will finish the scheduled sea-
son intact. Prospects were never
brighter for any league. The fans
are contributing Loyalty to the sup
port of each club, and within a week
all the players will have reported for
try-outs. The Tulsa players report
to Manager Howard Price at Chel-
sea Monday.
Work on the handsome new Tulsa
park is progressing nicely. A fif-
teen minute car service will be MAIN
talned to and from the park and the
ride from Fourth and Main streets
TO the entrance of the park will con-
sumo just ten minutes of time.
