want to commend you on the good
work you are doing. | feel sure II is
appreciated by the people of Tulsa and
if The World can expose and throw
the light of publicity on their methods
IL will be an incentative for some real
laundry concern to locate here and
give the people square deal
In my own case | have had such
experience as having silk shirt cuffs
starched stiff, thereby causing the silk
to crack. ! have had children's cloth
ing returned to me in exchange for
mems clothes and when | have re-
turned the children's clothes and de-
manded my own in return | have been
ignored.

matter up and get some commissioner

getting too big to stand for that class
of stuff. The people are with you. Go
after them. Yours truly, A Subscriber

Although there is a great deal of

better opportunities to develop play

President J. +. Scott has run the
Tulsa club under metropolitan ideas
and unlike many of the other West
ern association cities has not pan
handled the citizens. In appreciation
of this the Chamber of Commerce
and Rotary club has set aside Wednes-
day, August 16. as booster day, when
the various civic organizations will
endeavor to carve a niche in local
baseball circles with an attendance

ter company, started in the Western
association and it is only the pres
t'ye gained by being able to hold
their own in leagues that recruits
starting out look for the best city to
naugutate their careers. Now the
ability to pay larger salaries than
th.air rivals and to be able to nurture
the uyenile who is hardly ripe, by
placing Rim in a minor league comes
through the treasury of the ball CLUB.

While the attackers were being put
to rout, a heavy tropical rain came
up, miring the Virginia contingent
