Meyers with the Giants kept him
from a regular job. Block can hit
hard enough, but is no whirlwind
otherwise. McDonoHgh, who was
with the Feds last season, acted like
a ballplayer Killifer is star, but he
must first be landed.
The pitching staff is the strongest
point of the whole team.
Two positions in the infieId, third
base and shortstop, are taken care
of in big league style. The other two
places appear trifle weak.
At best, the outfieId is a guess.
Wickland during the short while he
was with Cincinnati last year acted
like ballplayer, and Coles has made
an excellent record with several
minor league teams. The other two
lads are unknowns.
Additions may be made to this list
from day to day. In an effort to
strengthen the lineup President
Weeghman is hiking eastward to
meet the world-touring Sox and
Giants. He will bid for the services
of Sam Crawford and Iris Speaker
for his own team, and President Gil
more of the league will try to secure
some of the other stars to parcel out

The tourists are due in New York
tomorrow night, but they may not be

will be right on the dock with con-

camp. If he does not obey, imme-
date court action will be begun, and
the legality of the reserve clause will
be settled at once.
If the reserve clause is knocked out
the Feds will make offers to any
players they want, whether under
contract or not, and a fine little row
will ensue, the players securing fat
contracts for term of years.
This warfare will result in the
recognition of the Feds within short
time, and they will be admitted to
organized ball if they want to come
in. Then the players will have their
salaries chopped when time comes to
sign new contracts.
But the terms will not be lower
than those they are at present signed
for. Any way this mess develops, the
players will get the benefits, and some
of the good things will fall to the
fans.
Kid Gleason split the White Sox
into two squads today preparatory to
departing from Paso Robes for two

MORE LAND TO BE SOLD.
Plans Are Being Drawn for Eleventh
Sales District

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 20.-At
recent meeting of the Oklahoma
school land commission the secretary
was instructed to prepare plans for
the eleventh sales district and sub
NIT them to the board. This district
will probably be in the northwestern
part of the state. 1t has not yet been
outlined and there will doubtless be
some time before the appraisement
can begin
The department has just finished
a sale in four counties. Out of the
S9,2S2 acres offered 3,1O1 acres were
sold. The total price the lands were
sold for was $1,O76,432.4O. The land
sold had been appraised at $1,O59,.
1924 The price agreed TO be paid
was a little more than $17 an acre.
improvements ON the land were ap-
praised at $5O2,777. The average
value of the improvements on each
quarter section of land was $1,275.
The Improvements belonged to the
lessees and as the lessees were the
purchasers in most instances no pay
ment was made for the improvements.

WHO OWNS BED
Of RED RIVER

MANY TEXANS ARE ANXIOUS

Oklahoma City, Aug. 20.-Since the
investigation by J. II. Chambers, at
torney for the school land office, be-
gan as to title to the bed of Red
into other complicated matters with
reference to that stream. There are
Texas men who want some of the
islands in Red river. They have
heard of the investigations that Mr.
Chambers is making and are writing
TO him for advice or assistance. One
letter came from Gus Shaw of Tex.
arkana. Farmer Shaw owns a plant
alton on the Texas side of the river
and a tract of land opposite it on
the Oklahoma side in McCurtain
county There is an island between
the tracts, and Mr.. Shaw wants TO ac.
quire title to that island. He has
been endeavoring to buy it from the
government or from the Choctaws or
from anybody who could make title
Much correspondence has not brought
about the desired result. The letter
from Mr. Shaw to Mr.. Chambers out
lines the situation and refers to an
item to the Journal, saying:

newspaper on Saturday night, to know

to make a mistake"
Mr.. Shaw is hoping that Mr.. Cham
bers will extend his researches to in,
clude the islands as well as the bed
OF the stream. In this connection
however, it was ruled by the govern.
ment last April that all lands in navi
gable streams should be withdrawn

lies between Bowie county and the
state of Arkansas. ]. B. Manning OF
New Boston, an attorney, has written
to Mr.. Chambers regarding the law
and decided cases that may bear on
this question.
Mr.. Chambers is still delving into
ancient treaties and court decisions
regarding the Red river with a view
of discovering whether the potential
oil field of the river bed belongs to
Oklahoma or whether this state can
get any of the profits from producing
the oil therefrom.
