Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1916-08-16

The weather man has promised
fair skies, the union musicians OF ne
city have promised plenty of free
music and the Is or more ball PLAYERS
have promised to spread lalldpa-
ocsa of a baseball game for those Ia
triotic hundreds who collect at the
bail park this afternoon to celebrate
Baseball Booster day. II is the first
Of It's kind ever held in Tulsa foc the
exceedingly simple reason that no
ether team has ever performed in
such a manner that IT could bc cred
tied with a general celebration.
Indications last night were that the
record crowd of all time would attend
the performance. Those who have
had charge of the ticket sale an
noLnCcd that the pass-in checks were
going ike hot cakes at a missionary
bazaar, and that requests for special
reservations and box seats were nu-
mcrous. OF course all the regulars
will be there. That faithful band of
cohorts which has followed the for
tunes of the local bascbdllcrs through
the checkercd summer have with one
accord signified their intention of
gracing the stands.
The Producers play the Oklahoma
Senators in the second game of the
home series, and aside from the fact
that it is Rooster day, persons who
visit the local meadows are sure to be
amply repaid. Both the home boys
and the visitors are fighting it out for
the bunting and every game at this
Juncture means great deal
Tex Covington is due to arrive for
the Wooley clan while either Liz
Smith or Herbert will work for the
Senators. A parade Will preccde the
game.
The Promoters of the occasion are
the members of the Rotary club and
the Chamber of Commerce and allied
interests. The following proclamation
has hccn issued be Mayor Simmons:
Wherets Tulsa has one of the
