TWO CUB OUTFIELDERS NOT
SIGNED-PROTEST CUTS
BY Mark Shields.

President Weeghman is going right
ahead with plans for the Cub train
ing trip, despite the fact that some
of his star players are still outside
the breastwork and are not evincing
any intention of signing a contract
at the terms offered them.
Two regular outfieIders, Cy Will
liams and Leslie Mann, are unsigned.
Max Flack is the only gardener of
1916 who accepted the salary offered.
Last season Williams received $4,000
and Mann a thousand more. Mann
was sent a new contract calling for
a decisive cut, and promptly turned
it down, with the comment that he
had played good enough ball to earn
his money.
At that time it was indicated there
would be no trouble with the ex-
Brave and little difficulty was anti
cipated in coming to an agreement.
Mann, it is said, told Weeghman what
he would take a sum slightly under
what he was given in 1916. But it
was too much for the new retrench-
ment policy to stand.
So far as can be learned there was
no actual break with Williams. Cy
simply didn't like his new contract
and did not sign. Cy is in good posi-
ton to dictate terms. Throughout
the winter whenever a trade was
talked of by some other manager in
vOIVing Williams, Cub officials threw
up their hands at the mere sugges-
ton, declaring Williams was the big
OUtfeId star of the league and was
one of the last men the North Siders
would allow to go.
Cy pondered these noble senti-
ments and tributes to his prOwess,
then compared his salary to what
some of the dead wood received last
year. Naturally Cy thought if he
was such a valuable man he should
be paid accordingly. Tom Seaton

THE LOCAL OIL ENTERPRISE

Believing that the interests of
Chickasha and the territory immedi-
ately surrounding the city will be sub
served by the drilling of test well in
this vicinity, our citizens have sub
scribed about $4,000 for that purpose
and will proceed to carry out their
plans IL a satisfactory location is OBJ
tanned and the farmers cooperate with
them. The men who are putting up
this money are taking a chance, the
territory being purely Of the wildcat
variety, and they are going to ask the
land owners to take chance with
them by giving them the necessary
leases. If oil is found the stockhold-
ers will stand to realize something
from their investment and the land
owners win come in for the usual roy
atty
In anything like recognized oil terri
tory it would of course be unreasona-
bic to expect the farmers to put their
leases into the deal without payment
but under the conditions existing here
it looks like a perfectly fair PROPOSE
ton and it is to be hoped that the far
,mers will offer all the encouragement
possible to the promoters of it. If the
test proves a success there will be
plenty of opportunities for everybody
to get into the game and make money;
without such test as is proposed,
there is little prospect Of any develop
ment in the near future.
The Chickasha Oil and Gas company
is community enterprise, designed
primarily to promote the development

In our Judgment the legislature Is
making serious mistake by coupling
the woman suffrage and literacy test
proposals In one measure which is to
be submitted to the people. It isn't a
square deal for the women and II isn't
fair to the men There is no possi-
bility OF getting a full expression Of
public opinion on the suffrage cues
tion if the voter is compelled to swal-
low or reject both Of these measures
at the same time. Personally we shall
support both proposals but there may
be other citizens who have different
views and they are entitled to the priv
ilege of registering them otherwise the
referendum will be a farce.

GIVE HARVEY A BIG CROWD

Col Harvey, the Ozark Trail pro-
moter, will visit pay a visit to Chick
asha next Wednesday evening and del
egations Of good roads enthusiasts
from many other towns are expected
1t is up to the citizens of Chickasha to
turn out en- masse on this occasion.
Col. Harvey will have a message that
all of us should hear He has devoted
years to the study of good roads and
on top of that he has had much practi-
cal experience as road builder.
1t will be remembered that we made
quite a mess of it when we tried to
give him crowd the last time he was
here and later it cost us a lot of trou-
BILE. We should take care not to repeat
our mistake this time, This will be
an opportunity to show Col Harvey

Street Commissioner Dan Beets has
done vast amount of excellent work
in various parts of the city. 1t is
doubtful whether any city ever had
a more efficient man in this position
but there are still few streets that
are urgently in need Of attention. One
of these is Idaho avenue from Fourth
street east, about as "chuggy" piece
of roadway as can be found in the coun-
ty. The fact that this street is part Of
the state highway leading east from
the city renders it all the more neces-
sary that it be put in good condition.

Of the section of country contiguous to
Chickasha. The plan is to drill test
5000 or more feet deep if necessary,
such test as we have never had in
this vicinity. Land owners have as
much at stake as the citizens of Chick
asha and they should be ready to do
their part If the farmers will hold
their leases for the local company in
stead Of turning them loose to specu-
lators, they will insure the drilling of
the test well and the opening Of new
field If success attends the venture.

/ The Series is Studebaker is an evo.
luton developed from the broad expe+
rience Of actual service which is the
highest criterion Of automobile design
and any Series is Studebaker you buy
has been refined and improved to

part Of the country, no matter where
you want to use il.
There is greater vaiue, dollar for
dollar, in both the Series IS FOUR
and Six, not only over any other Stu
debaker car ever announced before,
but over any other car ever offered the
public by any other company within
hundreds Of dollars Of the studebaker
price.
The greater value offered by stude-
baker is made possible:
Because OF Studebakers greater fac
tory facilities, more experienced
manufacturing organization, greater
buylhS pVWtit
Because OF Stndebaker's time estab-
lished sales organization and distri-
button facilities built up on wcald-
wide good will;
Because smdebaker manufactures
most Of It's own parts, and therefore.
is able 10 effect a still greater sew
ing FOR its customers, by eliminating
the middlemans profit, and at the
same time It is also able to give the
public higher quality. because it can
manufacture every vital part of ths
car with uniform excellence.
And finally it is the sum OF these aa-
vantages which makes Studebaker the
largest producer Of high grade. medi-
um priced automobiles in the world.
