LEAGUE MEETING
At DEN|SON
PRESIDENT OWENS SAYS THERE
WILL BE RADICAL SHAkE-UPS
ANOTHER YEAR.

John S. Owens, president of the
Ardmore Baseball association return
ed from Denison last night, where he
attended a meeting of the Texas Ok
lahoma league magnates for the pur-
pose of transferring the Wichita Falls
franchise to Hugo. President Owens
stated that the meeting developed
many things that would have to be
remedied another year if the league
hoped to survive. The principal de-
feet brought out was the question of
salary limit. He stated that it was
an open secret that two or three
towns in the league had cast the
salary limit question to the winds AMI
were paying salaries in excess Of the
Texas league, anything in order-to
get players TO win. This one feature,
he states, has wrecked more minor
organizations than anything else in
organized baseball and it will be
stamped out another season by drastic
measures now under consideration.
Mr.. Owens stated that some of the
towns in the circuit would be brought
to rdalize that they were not the
league another season and that u
more even race would result.

CARTER COUNTY
FAIR ASSOCIATION
CAPTAIN WHlTTlNGTON SAYS HE
WOULD BE PLEASED TO CO.
OPERATE.

Captain Wilmington is one man in
Ardmore who takes just pride in the
appearance of the city park, and he is
a firm advocate of using the park foI
all public entertainme nts, such as pic
MICS, etc.
There has been some talk in the
past of organizing a county fair as
sociation, and Capt. Wilmington sta
ted this morning as a member Of the
park board he would be willing to
grant a long lease to responsible par
ties of the old fair grounds for that
purpose. The old track is still in
pretty good shape and little money
spent on it would make it all right
again for racing purposes.
The city owns ample territory there
for a fair ground that would not in
terfere with the city park proper and
if the county could organize a far
association they would have little diff
ficulty in securing a lease of the old
fair ground site
The question of a county fair, he
stated this morning, would have to be
settled by the citizens of the city
some time in the near future and
he stated that he was one who favor
ed the immediate move to effect a
permanent organization. Every coun-
ty in the state will eventually have a
county fair and it is believed that Car
ter should be among the very first.
Capt. Wilmington, as we'll as others
stated that it was up to the business
men of the city to take the initiative
in this matter and secure the co
operation of the country people.
Friendly competition stimulates farm
ers to better effort in farming and
stock raising and that is what this
section of the state requires above
all things at present.
