OTHER GAMES ON TAP
Youngsters to Meet Pro
duccrs for 2 Contests;
Also 2 With Kendall.

Tulsa high school baseball team
will open the season at Kiefer. play
ing two games with the high school
team of that city. The first of these
two games will be played on Friday,
March 81. and the other game will
be played on Saturday, April /, ac-
cording to the terms of contracts
signed by the principals of the two
schools last week. The above games
will open the season in this part of
the state. Both teams expect to he
contenders for the state championship
among high schools, which was won
last year by the Purcell team.
Many high school boys and girls
are expected to accompany the local
team to Kiefor to encourage the nine
while they are fighting for the hon
ors Of the Red and White school. The
trip may be easily made in automo-
biles and the roads are in excellent
condition all the time. 1t is \ not
likely. however, that the baseball
team representing Tulsa high will go
in cars because of the tiresomeness
to the athletes to ride in cars.
Kefer high school team will have
an advantage over Tulsa high in that
they are practicing every day, while
the locals have not started training.
This is because no grounds have been
available for them. This inconven-
iencc will last but one week longer.
for Manager Norman Price of the
Producers and James Danbury,
groundk eeper of the local league
grounds. have consented to let the
high school boys use the Western as
sociaticn grounds here after that time.
The grounds are being put into shape
now, and will not be finished before
that time. Arrangements will be
made this week with the Tulsa Y. Nj.
C. A. for the high school team to
dress there. This will be very handy
for it is not out of the way to the
park.
Games have been procured with
several other teams in the city. The
high school team will play the Pro-
ducers two games. the dates to be de-
cided upon later. Kendall college
baseball team has agreed to play two
games with the high school team,
and these dates also will be decided
upon later. Tulsa highs baseball

Clark and Whitney Are
Both Confident of Vic
tory Tomorrow Night.

Kyle Whitney and Jeff Clark, light
heavyweight negro pugilists, who are
scheduled to box 10 rounds at the
Tulsa Athletic club tomorrow night,
finished their training yesterday and
will devote this afternoon and tomor-
row only to light work. Both men
declare they are in perfect condition,
which should be sufficient to insure
an extraordinary bout.
That the fight fans Will respond
literally to this entertainment is a
certainty Clark long has been a
favorite here and. although there are
some who realize that Whitney has
earned "A decision over him, they are
SO confident that he will win this
bout that they are wagering liber-
ally on the outcome. Jeff can see
nothing but victory. lie says he's go
ing in from the tap of the initial
gong, and when Jeff makes such a
determination he generally makes
things interesting for his audience.
Whitney thinks he probably will
take Clark's measure before the half
way post is reached. although he
realizes he's up against a man who
is reputed to be the best of his
weight I'm the business. Whitney
thinks Jeff is going back and in
tends to profit, as a win against the
shifty ghost" will mean much to
him.
Billy McClain. the popular negro
promoter. promises the best little old
entertainment ever seen in this town.
There will he n battle royal and the
Australian "wiz-wiz" and some classy
