Army and Navy Jottings

The Secretary of War has decided to
send a squadron Of cavalry and bat
tahon of field artillery to the San Fran
cisco Exposition. The headquarters of
Troops {. f. r. C. II. |. and machine
gun troops of the First Cavalry probably
will be selected for this duty and be
moved from Monterey. although the mat
ter will be left largely in the hands of
Maj. Gen. Arthur Murray, command
ing the Western Department.
It is hoped by the military authorities
that there may he an adequate and
crnditable representation of the United
States army in San Francisco during the
period Of the Panama-Pacific Exposition
There are some seventeen companies of
the coast artillery corps in and near that
city. and it is intended that these troops
shall he equipped with the new infantry
equipment in order that they may make
the best possible display of the latest
outfit of the regular army. There is
possibility. the subject being now un-
der consideration. of transferring tempor-
arly a battery of artillery from Homo
lulu. in which event the command will
he brought to San Francisco on board
an army transport. This project may
he st aside. however. owing to the cost
of Transporting the horses.
While stories as to the use in the Eu-
ropean war of some new type Of high
explosive shell are being printed the
ordnance manufacturers of the United
States are working night and day turning
out armor-piercing projectiles for Great
Britain. The American concerns, on aC-
count of the agitation in Congress rela-
tive to the expectation of munitions OF
war to Europe are not advertising their
business but if the Committee on Naval
Affairs has anv doubt as to whether the
European nations still consider armor-
piercing projectiIes effective in naval
warfare they can secure an abundance
OF evidence from a factory which is only
across the Potomac from the Capital
City. II is no secret among officers
OF the navy that an order of 2.OOO Finch
armor-piercing projectiles of the same
type used in the United States navy
has been completed and the projectiles
shortly will be shipped to England. And
this is said to be only a small part or
the large amount being manufactured
by the Washington concern for European
nations. Other concerns have similar
orders andNevery American ordnance fac
tory is being run at its full capacity on
orders for armoT-piercing projectiles.
The Senate military committee last
week completed its draft Of the army
appropriation bill and reported it to the
Senate, shattering the hopes for impOr-
tant army legislation entertained by those
who have been misled into great ex-
pectations. At no time during the pres
ent session of Congress has there been
any chance of special legislation Affect
ing military personnel or organization.
The supposition that something would be
placed on the army bill in the Senate
was based entirely on the theory that
the House conferees would be compla-

GLAD OF
HAVANA OUTCOME
White Mans Victory Gives
Impetus to Other Aspir-
ants Of Crown.

With the heavyweight crown again
resting on the brow of a white man,
Pack Lester and Bob Devere, who both
claim that they will try for the title
should pack the Grand opera house
to its utmost capacity Friday night
when they meet in their scheduled 15-
round bout. The passing OF the title
back to the white race will give
heavyweight boxing q new impetus
and will cause many elimination con-
tests. The Lester-Devere bout at the
Grand may be looked upon as one Of
the first OF these contests as there is
no denying the fact that both men
are among the best.
Lester was all smiles at the out
come of the Havana affair and
worked yesterday afternoon with such
a vengence that one would think that
he was now preparing to meet the
champion.
Deverc is training hard, 1t is re-
ported from Excelsior Springs, Mo.
where he has established a training
camp with frankie Burns, Al Norton
and other Kansas City boxers He
will not arrive in Tulsa Wednesday or
Thursday but will workout at the
local club at least one day. The re.
port comes that he will be in the
condition to put up the battle Of his
life.

M'BIRNEY COACHES
KENDALL BASEBALL
Presbyterians to Meet Pro
ducers at Association
Park Wednesday,

With two days of training under
their new coach. Sam McBrney, Ken
dalls baseball team will be better fit
to meet the Producers in Wednes-
days contest than 1t was last week
when the college athletes dropped two
to the professionals. Young will be
in the box for Kendall and Grady for
the Producers.
Coach McBirney has been playing
baseball ever since he has been big
enough to heave a ball a few yards
During his career he played in class
c with the Emporia club. For years
he has played semi professional ball
around Tulsa. He knows baseball
and he knows college students. Under
his tutorage the Kendallites are GER
tain to improve. Mr.. Rees will con-
tinue coaching, but will devote more
of his attention to the second string
men.
The Producers are improving with
every game. They have lost only two
contests since the opening of their
exhibition series, and are rounding
into championship form.
The local fans have not responded
with the enthusiasm the class of
ball played should warrant. Extremely
popular prices will prevail tomorrow.
Twenty-Five cents will pay for admis
sion, grand stand and boxes.

FINISH WAS PLEASING
Began Gathering at II
O'clock and Stayed
Until Three.
FINISH WAS PLEASING

Four thousand wild fans cheered
and threw their hats I'm the air in
front Of The World office yesterday
afternoon when the announcer yelled
through his big red megaphone;
"Flash Willard Wins"
For fully ten minutes the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed No World
Series baseball game ever produced
similar scene. The crowd was
larger than at any time last fall
when the World entertained great
throngs each afternoon with its
leased wire bulletins on the big
games
The fans began gathering at The
World office by II o'clock At noon
fully 1000 men were in the street
doubled and by l o'clock Fourth
fares in the city, was packed with
automobiles and humanity solid from
Main street to Boulder avenue. Roofs
and porches Of residences across the
streets were covered with fans, while
all the fire escapes on the Majestic
theatre building were similarly oc-
cupied. Fully fifty women were i'm
the crowd, and they remained until
the last bulletin, when they joined
in the cheering with great zest.
About two hundred cOlored fans
had "ringside' seats and did the only
cheering during the early part of the
fight when Johnson had the appar-
ent advantage of nearly every round.
As soon as the result became known
the Jim Crow bunch vanished and
a minute later not one could have
been discovered with a divinng rod
or an offer Of free chickens
Bulletins on the fight were also
announced from the Bliss building
on Third street, and a large crowd
gathered there, but 1t was hardly
half the size Of the mob in front OF
The World office The World bull
letins were given to the crowd fully
ten minutes ahead of the Bliss build
ing service and the fans, quick to
learn this, rushed to Fourth street
as long as they could get within half
a block of The World office.
