for the liberty and self-government Of
the United States as II the war of our

again.
Every man In every business in

CHIEF VISITS MAGIC CITY
Anxious for Time to Come
When Baseball Can
Boom Again.

Tulsa cannot hope to get into the
Western league this season, but she
will be given one more opportunity
to land q class A franchise at the
close Of the present pennant race.
This was definitely established yes
terday during short visit here by
Il. w. Dickerson, president of the
Western league.
President Dickerson denied that
1his visit had any special Significance,
saying merely he had dropped of
for "a few hours between trains, en-
route from Oklahoma Clty, Wner
he saw the capital fnducted INTO 'he
western circuits TO wichita, where
he expects to get his first glimpse OF
twilight baseball being tried as an
experiment there. But there is
something significant in the fact that
he should make the trip via Tulsa.
which is far out of his path, instead
Of taking a straight shoot from OK
lahoma City to wichita via the Santa

Admissions Significant
Perhaps he didn't think of that.

questioned he admitted that:
The southern end OF his circuit
looked much stronger than the
northern.
Until Oklahoma City entered the
league. Wichita was leading in at
tendance with Joplin second.

day, rainy day and 500 the sec

town.
Tulsa looks like a better baseball
town than the capital
There Is no chance for Omaha,

of the league at any time.
There is no chance for Wichita,
Joplin or oklahoma City TO quit
since these are leading the league

Hutchinson has put up cash
enough to insure her finishing the

No one ever will lose any money
on baseball in Hutchinson.
Neither will anyone ever make any
money there.
CONCLUSION Single.
From all of which IT is not hard
TO draw the conclusion that Tulsa
can have the Hutchinson franchise

provide a park.
II there is baseball next year, II
can be stated with certainty that
