It's up to Umpire Jupiter Pluvus
to say whether Tulsa baseball fans
will have this afternoon the greatest
entertainment of the spring training
season. Last night the skies were
murky and an occasional spatter of
rain tended to legislate against the
probability of game today with the
Detroit Tigers. but this morning the
sun may come up in front of the
clouds that have hidden all Old Sol
for the last three days-and again il
may not.
However, the game will be played.
though the skies are overcast, provid-
ing of course, that the moisture con-
tainers do not drop any of their fluid.
Yesterday both the infield and out
field were in first class condition and
only heavy rain this morning or
shortly after noon can prevent the
game.
In order to clear Association park
for the big boxing bout tonight owner
J. p. Scott and Manager Norman
Price have decided to call the game at
2:30 o'clock.

S35, 100000 IN TEN YEARS
SPENT FOR CHEWING GUN
Normal Import of Chicle to
United States is 7,ooo,-
900 Pounds An
nualiy

Washington, April 43th. - The
chewing gum habit has cost the
American people for chicle alone
nearly $85, 100000 in the last ten
years, or almost five times as much
as we paid Russia for Alaska, ac-
cording to figures furnished today by
the Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce Of the Department Of
Commerce. Normally our annual
imports of chicIe amount to 1000.
600 pounds, for which we pay about
So, 100000 in the countries of origin,
and to which must be added customs
duties in our own ports of about
$4,000.
Imports of chicle gum during the
fiscal year 1915 were as follows:
from Mexico, 2,197, 900 lbs; from
Canada, 2.1St, 900 lbs; from British
Honduras, i,i39 600 lbs; from Ven
ezuela, 952, coo lbs, from the Gen.
trail American Republics, $4,000 lbs;
from all other countries, 5000 lbs.
Chicle is not produced in Canada,
but large quantities from other Brit
ish possessions are handled thru the
Dominion. In 1918 the total i'm
ports of the gum amounted to 49,
$50, 900 lbs, and that is the record
importation for any one year. In
1915 the total was 6, 100000.
Chicle is the dried milky juice of
the sapodilla tree, which is one of a
large family of tropical trees known
as bully trees. Some of the gum is
used as a substitute for gutta percha,
but the bulk of it is used in the man
ufacture of chewing gum.
