BANKERS LOSE IN
OPENING CLASH
BY Hard Hitting the High School Team
Wins First Game in the City
League.

The High School baseball team in
the City League romped home with a
victory in their first clash of the sea-
son yesterday evening, when they de-
feated the Bankers by a score of IS
to 6. The school boys started right
after the game in the first inning, four
of their counts being made in this
round In hitting and base-running
the high school team clearly out-class-
ed their opponents. However the field
ing the Bankers shows better record
than that of the high school.
While the score indicates rather
one-sided ( ntest, the game was not
won until the sixth inning, when the
school boys added four to their lead
of two and cinched the game in the
next inning with three more tallies. E.
Bennett started the toiling for the
Bankers but found the going hard and
was relieved by Bill little, who had
even more trouble.
The interest of the crowd Of bugs
is growing and the attendance yester
day was little better than on the
opening day. These games are well
worth the ten cents admission and the
games are called late enough to allow
all to see them. The game was over
at $3.50 last night
The score.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRIVATE

a progressive citizen living in a

effort in behalf of municipal cleanli-

he writes to the editor making the
following suggestions which will apply
to any town that it not as clean as it
should be.
His argument is worth reading by
every citizen of Texas who is interest

town.
Help convince your aldermen that

away prospective buyers of homes from
their wards. They will locate where
conditions are most favorable for clean
liness. They will not drive stakes in
an unsettled, unsanitary location to
rear families. They are looking for
the healthiest wards where the atmos-

Retailers Association Passes Resolu
tion Strongly condemnino
Project.

Oklahoma City, May 3.-Resolutions
condemning free papers as being de-
moralizing to business interests and
detrimental to the legitimate dailies,
were unanimously adopted by the Re
tailers' association in special meet
ing at the Lee-duckins Thursday noon.
The organization has membership of
more than three hundred and is repre-
sentative Of every class of retail bust.
ness in Oklahoma City.
The special meeting was called by
President j. NJ. Phillips, following a
conference with the board Of directors
and other merchants identified with
the organization. Rumors had been
current for several days that another
free paper will be launched here soon.
and that the project might be discour-
aged in its incipiency, the retailers
met to declare themselves as being
unalterably opposed to the project. It
was pointed out that the community
recently had passed through a news
paper controversy brought about by a
free circulation publication, and any
similar controversy would be consist
emily and unanimously frowned upon
by the association of retail merchants.
The resolutions follow:
The Resolution.
Whereas, It is rumored that there
is about to be published. for free dis
tribution in this city, paper to be de-
voted especially to the printing of ad-
vertising. and
Whereas, our recent experience in
the fight for existence between free
publications and the legitimate daily
press, conyinces us that such condi-
tion is demoralizing to business, and
detrimental to the best interests of
the public, in. that it lowers the tone
and lessons the possibilities for good
of the regular daily papers by depriv-
ing them Of revenue-producing
agency legitimately theirs, and neces-
'sary to their success as business in
|stitutiols and as gatherers and dis
tributors of legitimate and reliable
news, and
Whereas, the interests of the busi-
ness institutions of this city are so
closely allied and responsively SYM
pathetic in their character that SER
ious injury to so important a branch
would be detrimental to the interests
of the whole, and
Whereas, the postofiice department
refuses to publications not having a
paid circulation, the use of the mails
on an equal basis with regular news
papers. thereby placing them outside
the bounds of the legitimate news
paper field.
Be It, therefore, resolved by the
Oklahoma City Retailers association
that we deplore and condemn as being
detrimental to the best interests Of
iall parties concerned, the entry into
this field of so disturbing an element as
