purchase one Of these tickets.
In view Of the fact that the local
association has not called on or both
cred the business men of Tulsa for
financial help the exceeding bad
weather which has prevailed, causing
lack of attendance and financial
losses as well, the heavy expense of
handling a ball team on which the
city receives so much free advertising,
il is up to everyone in Tulsa to boost
this project and not only buy the
tickets but attend the games.
Any one that al sell any tickets
for this occasion will be given a lib
eral commission and can reach Pres

The Umpire

Written by the sporting editor after a fut
deavor to procure "two-bits' ~ worth of dope
with profuse apologies to Mr.. KiplingD
A fan there was, and he made this prayer,
Even as you and i
Only to murder that robber there
We called him the umpire who did not care
But the fan-Wow! Didn't he rave and swear,
Even as you and L.
Oh, the hits we made and the way we played,
And the work of our mfield band,
All spoiled by an umpire who did not know,
Twas the widest kind Of a rotten throw
And did not understand.
A fan there was and his goods he spent,
Even as you and J.
For "a sun-baked, uncuShioned, 25-cent,
Little bleacher seat, but, at that, it meant
Seeing a bali game and so he went,
Even as you and ~
Oh. the game we lost and the fame we lost,
And the way those fellows famed!
But, alas! for the umpire who cannot state
When a players safe on the old home plate,
And cannot understand.
The fan yelled, "Slde, you rabbit, slide!''
Even as you and L.
There were two men out and the score was tied,
And the throw from center field was wide
And the owl could have seen it if he had tried,
Even as your and L.
And it isn't defeat nor the being beat
That stingS like a red-hOt brand,
But it's being robbed by a man like that,
q. Who never did know where he was at,
And could not understand.

cause Jurors had been discussing the case.
The trial abruptly halted today was de-
c.ded upon by the court on the ground
that inAammatory and biased accounts Of
the first trial in the News-Post, news

was wheeled into the court room in an
lnvalid's chair at both the first trial and
the one halted today. Miss Rogers as
serte that she Is in helpless condition
as the result of a collision between SUBJ
way cars in November, 1911, .
Attorneys for the Transit Company have
contended all along that the womans
present condition is not wholly attribut-
able to the accident. They admit liability
her in the collision.
william NJ, Eubele of o5O South 5ith
street, a member of the panel of so
jurors summoned for service in the court,
but not himself serving on the IL hear
ing the Rogers case, was called to the
bar today and questioned by Judge Stake
relative to reports that he had been talk
ing to other members of the panel about
the case. He said he had intended no
wrong.
Layton NJ. Schoch. representing the
transit company. then said that the talk
was not restricted to jurors not serving
In the 12 hearing the case, and Judge
Stake questioned the jurymen. Two OF
them. William Gessner, the foreman and
Arthur r. Garren Sr,, admitted having
spoken to Uebele in the corridor outside
the court room, Nothing was said, So
far as could be learned to any member
of the II men hearing the case about
the probable disposition of ii. but Judge
Stake decided to continue the case for
another jury.

lIeved TO have been implicated in a recent

club man and a member OF the publishing
firm of Lea & Febiger 7O6-lO SAMSON
street notified Detective Captain Cam
eron last Monday that he had re-
ceived a threatening letter with a black
hand marked out on it. This told him
that unless he met the writer at 18th and
Marnet streets at 1850 o'clock this morn
ing with $500 his home would be dyna-
mited.
Detective William Callahan donned a
wig early this morning, powdered his
mustache and dressed himself otherwise
to impersonate Lea. Then he waited at
the corner designated, with Detective Will
liam Mahoney lurking nearby.
At o'clock. the detectives say Miller
approached and said TO Callahan:
''Are YOU Mr.. Leaf"
Yes" said the detective.
"WclI, I'm here after that money"
Miller said.
Callahan said he wanted his secretary
to witness the transaction. and sum
moned Mahoney. Then Miller was ar
rested.
When the man was questioned by the
detectives about the clippings OF the taxi
cab hold-up he said he had been TO a
theatre that evening. He could not ac-
count for the time Immediately after
the play, however, and the police believe
he had something to do with the hold-up.
