PICKED TEAMS
WILL PERFORM
With Cake and Wier as Captains
"Athletics" and Braves
Will Put on Some Show
for the Fans
(By "oscar,")


With the safety valve of enthusiasm
popping off. the players and fans met
last night at the city hall, adopted the
constitution and bylaws of the City
League, elected permanent Officers
and transacted other business that
will, within a limited number of days,
get the four teams away in what
promises to be the best race ever wit
messed in the city.
The proposition of securing the suits
for the players came in for more dis
cussion than any other topic and sew
eral plans were adopted by which uni
forms may be secured The load will
be lifted entirely from the shoulders
of the business men and merchants,
for the baseball men think that the
customary rule Of asking the mer-
chants for donations should be elm
mated. All that will be asked of the
merchants will be their support as
baseball fans.
The first method of raising funds
for uniforms will be an exhibition
game to be played at University park
next Sunday, the two teams to be se-
lected from the best baseball talent In
the city. The president appointed T.
E. Jacobs and Bobby Weir as the
rival captains. They will get together
as to players and pick two teams OF
as even strength as possible in order
to put on jam up show
Jake" will captain the Athletics"
with Weir as pilot of the Braves"
Whether or not Bobby can come across
with the wonder team of baseball"
rs did our mutual friend George Stall
ings last fall, or whether Jacobs, with
his crew can run true to form, remains
to be seen. Tickets for the game will
be on sale tomorrow and will be at
two bits each. Out OF the rs or more
fans and players assembled at the city
hall last night, practically every one
made application to one manager or
the other for position on one of the
teams to appear Sunday.
Work toward getting the park in
perfect shape will be started early
this week. The grounds will be now
ed, the grandstand cleaned and the
entire plant put in the best possible
shape for the battle Sunday.
Managers Blackstone and Olive Of
the Kozy and Sugg theaters readily
agreed to stage benefit shows, the pro-
ceeds to go to the suit fund of the
| league. Next Monday night, May 81,
has been selected as the date for the
Sugg benefit show, with the Kozy
show coming on one day later, June
/. In addition to the funds to be
raised by the benefit shows and ball
! game, the managers of each team of
the league are raising funds indivii-
ually from the supporters Of the var
| ious clubs.
The adoption OF the constitution
came without hitch, but with few
suggestions which 1t was unanimously
agreed created a stronger document
and one that is more agreeable to all
concerned. In so far as is possible.
the constitution eliminates all possl-
bility of professionalism or players
performing for money in the league.
For the first offense of this nature.
the club forfeits all games in which
the player guilty of receiving money
for his services appeared, and for the
second offense of any one club, that
club forfeits all games won to that
date.
j Every player eligible tosa position
on any team in the league must have

: that time be employed in Chickasha
