TATE'S FOE
FAILS TO
SHOW UP
Special to the Express.

Special to the Express.
Ardmore, Okla, Aug. S.-Texas Tate
arrived in the city yesterday to get
ready for his return match with Jack
Hempell next Friday night, but when
he arrived he found that HempeIl had
not put in his appearance but had re-
fused to come and fulfill his date, ac-
cording to previous agreement.
It is apparent that Hempell has a
good reason for this move, From sub
sequent events after the fight of last
Friday night the fans are now more
than convinced that Tate was not only
fouled deliberately in the second
round This statement is borne out
by statement from the physician who
examined Tate Immediately after the
affair occurred as well as by several
who were at the ring side and in close
proximity to where it occurred. Hem
pell was called over the phone this
morning by Manager Edwards Of the
Ardmore Athletic club and he refused
to come back on proposition Of his
own making when Edwards agreed to.
meet his terms. Hempell showed by
his conversation over the phone this
morning that he has no intention of
meeting Tate again if he can run out
of it.
Hempell has not made friend in
this city by his tactics and Tate says
he will have to fight him if they ever
meet.
Tate payed his respects to Corrigan,
who refereed the match and intimated
that it was a frameup to take the
match away from him. Tate said that
at the end Of the first round HempelI
for all his boasted condition, was
winded and he believed that he delib-
erately fouled him to avoid longer
session. Tate says that Hempell will
hare to meet him somewhere as there
is no reason for him to try and side
step. He is willing to meet him any
time, winner to take all, so it seems to
be up to Hempell to make good.

Dear Friend %
You know have a great deal Of adj
miration for the man who keeps his
eyes on the main chance and remem-
bers the promises he makes with him
self. / remember reading d few years
ago Of a country boy who entered one
Of the big universities. The day he
enrolled and was assigned a room he
tackled a large "V'' over his door It
soon attracted the attention of &c
other pupils and some Of the inquisi
tive ones asked him what it meant.
EIe would not tell. Others guyed him
about it and called him Henry the
WITH He bore these taunts patiently
but kept his secret, as he called it,
At the end of the four year term this
boy was made the valedictor1an of his
class and then it was that he took his
class mates into his confidence and
told them the secret of the letter over
his door which had remained there all
the time fIe said it was to remind
him that he had promised himself that
he was to be the yaledictorian Of his
graduating class and he tackled the
letter over the door as a perpetual re-
minder of that promise
4 remember that just about a year
ago you were in the office and a num-
ber of county superintendent, old
timers, had made their report You
said you had been working on yours
but owing to conditions over which
you had no control that you would be
late in making your report remem-
Der you closed your conversation with
these words, Next year will be the
first to make my report.
The point | am making is this: |
have just approved the first annual re-
port for this year and it is the report
of Grady county signed on the back

entv Congratulations but you almost
missed Two other reports have come /
in but like yours they had to be re-
turned for minor corrections.
I know that part of this credit is due (
to your helper, Miss zinn. But it is
to your credit that you have selected
a capable and efficient assistant.
know that both Of you are glad
this job is over This enables you to
give all your time to the schools Of the
county at the beginning of the term,
just when you can be the most help to
them
