 ONE GAME OF BALL

Tulsa, Okla. June 5.--Four fist fights, the ejectment from the grounds and jailing of the umpire and the fainting of a ball player, who was in the grand ; stand, served as a prelude to today's game between Tulsa and Okmulgee of the Oklahoma State league. It was ladies' day, too.

At this stage spectators swarmed on the field and Mckee was carried bod fly into the dressing room under the grandstand, where two OlSmulgeeans acted as his opponents in bout num- Der three.
 In the absence of the umpire two spectators were selected as umpires and the game started. It had not pro- gressed far, however, before Mckee was on the field again and exchanging blows with Manager Price of Tulsa. This fray was at It's height when Shortstop Black of Okmulgee tainted.
 Four policemen put an end to hos tilities by arresting Mckee.

Washington, June 5.-The officers of the three German cruisers, the Moltke.

 This function was the center point of the visit to the national capital and as the sojourn of the German vessels in American waters is regarded purely an act of courtesy from the fleet of one nation to that of another, the guests were almost without exception naval men.
 Among those present were the Presi- dent. the German ambassador, the Sec retary of the Navy, Rear Admiral von Rebeur-Paschwitz and other German of ficers and numerous officers of the Uni ted States navy.
 The German naval officers expressed themselves as charmed with their visit to Washington and admired the public buildings which they visited during the day.
 Rear Admiral von Rebeur- -Paschwitz Captain von Mann of the Moltke, Com mander von Krosigk of the Stettin and Commander Seebohm of the Bremen called at the state department early in the day to pay their respects to Secre- tary Knox and thence to the navy de- partment where they were received by Secretary Meyer.
 About noon the two secretaries returned the calls at the visitors hotel Later the German ambassador, Count yon Bern storff, gave the German officers their first opportunity of meeting some of the leading women of Washington society About 100 guests were invited by him to an informal luncheon

 Tennesseans Mississippians and Flori-
 dians now living in Texas, am strongly
 supporting Oscar w. Underwood for
 President of the United States. Had
 Mir. Underwood sought the support of
 Texas voters as did Governor Harmon,
 Texas would not today be in the Wilson
 column, yet I do not believe that this
 will seriously injure MT. Underwood, for when Dr. Wilson has been side- | tracked. Texas will be found among | those rallying around the Underwood | banner along with her other sister
 southern states.
 If the republicans nominate Roose velt which seems very probable at this | time, it would appear to me like demo- | cratic suicide for the democrats to nom | mate a man like pr Wilson, and l sin cerely believe the nomination of Roose- welt on the republican ticket means the nomination and consequent election of MT. Underwood by the democrats In deed. this is the only hope of demo- cratic success. If the democrats fail | and refuse to nominate MT. Underwood | for the presidency. there will be thou sands of young democratic voters of the | south who will vote the republican ticket for no other reason than that the democrats have closed the door of the | White House to a worthy son of the | al ern brain talent and ambition. There i is more in closing the door of the | White House to southern brain. ambl-
 ton and talent than some people think,
 and this offense Is chargeable to the
 democratic party alone. Respectfully. JOHN $. FANNIN. | Dallas, Tex, June 1, 1912.

 American marines have landed on Cuban soil. To the number of 450 under com- mand of Colonel Lucas. they came ashore today at Caimanera and proceeded by train to Guantanamo City.
 While 1t is officially declared that this action was taken solely to protect Amer ioan and other foreign properties, the inn precision became general that it was a preliminary step to American interven- ton. This caused considerable excite ment at the capital. Later 1t became known that the landing was in response to an urgent appeal to the commandant of the United States naval station by the chamber of commerce of Guantanamo to afford protection to the numerous foreign estates in the vicinity which the govern n,ent forces have been unable effectively to guard.
 One hundred and twenty additional marines were dispatched this evening to Guantanamo and the American force will pi cbably be ample to safeguard the for eign properties in that district.
 There was great excitement in Havana this afternoon on the circulation Of re- port that four American battelships were on their way from Key West. Towards evening the rumor was current that the ships had been signalled off Morro Castle and were expected to enter the harpol within an hour. The excitement subsided
