FORTY-FiVE MILLIONS FOR
FLOOD PREVENTION

Washington, March 30.-President
Wilson and Chairman Humphreys of
the house flood committee Wednes-
day agreed on legislation to control
floods on the Mississippi and other
rivers which will be introduced in a
bill the committee will be present
in about ten days and made part
of the administration plan.
The plan calls for federal govern
ment expenditure of $45,OO0,000 in
five years. 1t provides that states
benefited must aid in the work and
pay part of the cost. Mr.. Hamph-
reys estimated the states would have
20 spen~ approximately $2OO0O,000.

HAVE BEEN

Columbus, n. NJ, March 3O.-Amer-
ican troops have been using the Mex
icsn Northwestern railway for a dis
tance of about 40 miles between
Casas Grandes and MADEIRA daily for
about ten days to transport troops
and supplies, according to Walter
Warren, a negro trooper in troop A.,
Tenth cavalry, who reached here

crushed hips and internal injuries.
The train,. he said, was carrying
several cars loaded with horses and

There are four prominent concerns

Ass 'NNE.n.r YEAR
GROWING SENTIMENT IN THIS
CITY IN FAVOR OF ORGANIZED
BASEBALL MAY RESULT IN A
BERTH IN WESTERN.

There is growing sentiment in
this city in favor of organized base
ball, and this may so crystalize that
Ardmore may be in the Western AS.
sociation another year, The South
ern Oklahoma league, just organized,
will serve its purpose this season,
but the real fans want something
better, and this may awaken senti'
ment to such a point that berth
may be secured in real league an
other year.
Ardmore has been without baseball
for two seasons, aside from a few
amateur games. This condition is not
pleasing to a majority of the fans,
who are beginning to show disposi-
ton to finance a team in some ac-
credited league, and maintain high
class team.
The downfall of the old Texas
Oklahoma league was the high salar-
les paid the players. A lesson has
been learned, and is being put into
practice in the Western Association.
with the result that some of the old
has-beens who were drawing topheavy
salaries have been supplanted by a
number of youngsters who want to
break into the game at a greatly re-
duced salary, and for the betterment
of the league as a whole In the
xas-Oklahoma, some "old-head'
would come along with glove and a
prayer and sign up as a ball player
at a salary that would look big in
a class A league. The chances were
better than even that his days of
usefulness were past long since, and
the management would be up against
the proposition of getting another
man after he had lost a few games
for the team. All this has been
eliminated in organized baseball
within the past two years, until it is
now possible to secure the services
of young, ambitious players at sal
aries that the towns in a class II
circuit can afford incidentally, the
"old heads are back on the farm
or driving hack.
Ardmore has grown in population
and financial wealth within the past
two years, and the city officials, head
ed by the mayor are a unit for or
ganized baseball another year, and
unless they back up" on their state
ments, will try hard for a berth in
the Western Association another
year
