at will be rotten shame to see|
Tulsa lose that cup" said Letcher.|
Here we are with more money thanI
any other city in the league and more|
live fans If we let some of theseI
other towns carry off the cup we will
look like "A bunch of rummies. | want
old Tulsa to make them all look like|
villages I'm comparison"
There is good reason for fearingj
that some OF the others might beat
Tulsa to the trophy. Monday was|
the formal opening at Sherman. when|
one thousand paid admissions wereI
registered. Five thousand persona
were in the parade at Denison ON
opening day but some of these did not
go to the ball game and, since Presi-
dent Bell has not given out the off, \
cial attendance figures, the only thing
that can be done Is to guess Most
guesses range between two thousand
and three thousand.

the effort of the United States to
beg o. compel citizens to serve in

letter reads:
president Woodrow Wilson,
Washington, D.. c.: "A thousand
congratulations. 1 mark your war
message the best OF all state papers.
Please permit me to suggest that
you message congress to pass an
act granting the soldiers fifty dol
lars q month instead OF an insulting
fifteen or eighteen dollars. Under
the constitution, private property of
the citizens may not be taekn for
public use without just compensa-
ton. A mans time is his private
property. 1t is a great shame for a
great and rich country to beg or
force men to rve as soldiers with.
