OKLAHOMA CITY MAY
GET BASEBALL AGAIN
LEO MEYER HAS PLAN TO GET
A TEXAS OR 4 WESTERN
LEAGUE FRANCHISE.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, July "a.
Leo Meyer. former state auditor,
now conducting cotton agency. will
have oklahoma City in the base
ball world next year, If plans now
developing are successful. A fran
chise either I'm the Texas League or
Western League will be secured,
preferably the Texas League. If pres
ent arrangements can be brought TO
q favorable conclusion.
Mr. Meyer today sent out num-
ber OF circular letters to acquaint-
ances and friends, exploiting his
proposition and asking that stock be
subscribed to the amount of at least
$4,000. He will be sure of the
financial part of the proposition be-
fore taking up anything else, and If
he is successful I'm raising the money
the other part will he go.
The two-cent rate Will be a big fac
tor In the plans for the expense OF
maintaining the team. Heretofore the
three-cent rate has made II too ex-
pensive for big jumps, and that was
what baseball managers had to con-
tend with in the Texas or any other
reputable league. Just what fran
chise In the Texas League Meyer
thinks he can get is problematical,
but there is a possibility that the
Austin franchise may be secured.
But nothing definite will be done un-
Ill he is certain he can raise the
necessary funds

AMERICANS NETT ENGLaND'S

CUP.

WIMBLEDON. Eng. July 24.--Tho
interest of the tennis world will be
focused tomorrow on the champion
ship matches at Wimbledon, where
the Americans will attempt to win the
Dwight +. Davis international tennis
trophy. England will spare no effort
To defend the cup, which is the last
remaining token OF her former ath-
letic supremacy.
The two single matches will be
played tomorrow, Maurice T. Nc
Loughlln Of San Francisco facing ].
G. Park, whose unexpected victory
last year over the noted Australian
Norman +. Brookes, was instrument
al in bringing the cup TO Engia nd,
and II. Norris Williams OF Philadelphia
meeting G, p. Nixon.
Park fell an easy victim TO the
Californian In the open English
championships, but n round OF tourn-
ament play since Is said 10 have great
ly improved his form. England pins
her hope on his ability to defeat his
opponent on the rumoy that Nc
Loughlin Is stale. but the American
declares himself in the pink Of con-
dition. English critics are united IN
declaring there is less than fifteen"
difference between Williams and Nc
Loughlins' play. A greater crowd Is
expected than the crush which at
tended the Wilding Mclaughlin
match.

Contented With u. S.

G. Hillerud one of Sank Centres
we'll known business men returned
Friday of last week from quite an ex-
tended European trip which included
Germany, Denmark, Sweden and
Norway. ~
Mr.. Hillerud left his native home
in Norway % years ago when he was
a lad of IA and this was the first visit
since coming over in 1885. He left
Sank Centre June 10Th and sailed
from New York on the 25th, taking
passage on the F. amburg-American
line steamer Imperator. This is a
new boat and is the largest ship
afoat. She has capacity Of $4,000
tons, is 9l9 feet long and 80 feet
broad, with eight passenger decks.
Going over the Imperator carried
1900 passengers, including first class,
second class and -steerage, besides
crew of over 1900. After delightful
voyage the tourists were landed at
Hamburg on July End. The Sank
Centre man states that he enjoyed
every minute of the trip and did not
miss single meal.
Leaving Hamburg Mr.. Hillerud
went to Copenhagen, Denmark,
thence to Stockholm, Sweden, back to
Frederichawn, Denmark and from
there to his boyhood home at Chris
tiaDsand, Norway.
The aged parents of Mr.. Hillerud
reside at Christiansand and as he had
not seen them in % long years the
reunion must have been most enjoy
able. The gentleman states that he
found the old folks enjoying the best
of health He has one sister and two
brothers still residing there. >.@
Mi. Hilierud says he enjoyed every
minute of his visit; that the old coun-
try is all right to look at; the scenery
is admirable, nevertheless if any Amer
lean is dissatisfied with conditions in
this country trip through the Euro
pean countries will cure him. Every
thing is too far behind the times and
too small to satisfy an American. In
all of his travels he did not find any
section that suits him as we'll IS
Minnesota and particularly that por-
tion of it adjacent to Sank Centre.
Mr.. Hillerud started on his home
ward trip August 9th, sailing from
Christiansand on the Norwegian
American line steamer Christianfjord.
This is also a new boat of 1000 tons
capacity, and 1,030 passengers were
brought over. Like the outgoing
trip the weather was ideal on the
homeward voyage. The Christian
ford locked at New York Sept. 9Th.
The Sank Centre man stopped of
for couple of days visit with Chicago
relatives, but hustled home soon in
order to attend the best county fair
held in Minnesota for a day of two.
The gentleman states tnat he Is en-
joying splendid health and his looks

seed CORN WEEK
Agricultural Instructor Norsen of Sank
Centre Schools Taking Active In
tereSt in Movement

The governor has set aside the
week of Sept. IA to 20 as 'Seed Corn
Week" because he believes that that
time of the year best suited for the
selection of seed which will bring the
largest yield in average years. The
corn this year could have been select
ed trifie earlier but would not have
matured next year unless it happened
to be an exceptionally good corn year.
K. A. Norsen, instructor of agricuI-
ture in the local high school is doing
a lot of work along the line of seed Sc
lection with his classes this week and
gave about forty members of his
Freshman class practical instruction
in proper selection of seed at the
school plat this morning. Following
the idea of most successful farmers
he advocates not necessarily parent
stalk with large number OF inferior
or second rate ears but a healthy
stalk bearing one ear which will
weigh about 10 ounces. At the rate
of three stocks to the hill this would
give yield of over Is bushels to the
acre of good solid corn, and by select
ing ears that are already matured. it
is sure they will mature in any aver
age year.
Mr.. Norsen visited District 100 east
of Sank Centre yesterday afternoon
and spoke on the urgent need of the
selection of good seed corn. This
morning he spoke to the seventh and
eighth grades of the local school in
the assembly room and this afternoon
he expects to talk to the pupils of
District 40 and 26. The Importance
of seed corn selection is shown by the
fact that so many farmers are taking
it up every year and also by the fact
that so many farmers are taking it up
every year and also by the fact that
the gsYernor believes it important
enough to set aside special week for
it and at time when agricultural
experts believe to be best suited to
perform the work.
