The first baseball game In which any
OF the players wore uniforms was played
sixty seven years ago June ., 1851, when
the New York Knickerbockers, the pio-
neer bali club. played the York vile wash
ingtons. The Knickerbockers created n
great sensation by appearing on the field
clad uniformly IN white shirts and blue
trousers, with straw lids covering their
domes. Cheers, boots and cat calls greet 70
% their appearance, for the uniforms
were "A complete surprise, and were pub-
hcly worn for tho first time At that game
The waHhnEtons, like all other clubs un
to that time, were garbed In plain cltl

and within q year ell the important clubs

were worn up TO 1883, when the Cincin-

Railroad Tickets Must Be Sen,
TO ST. Louis,

On or before June 10 thousand, oI
rsilrosd ticket holders of Oklahoma OF
the five or more trunk line railroads
doing business in thi, state, must tur,
IN their different kinds OF uansporta
tion for redemption, for the reason tina
on June 10 brand new tickets, rep.
reseuting q rs percent increase in their
price over the old tickets, will be in
the ticket racks OF the railroad agents.
Ticket agents In this city say they
believe that sooner OF later most OF the
tickets for redemption will show ~
At the office of ]. r, Hannisau, pas.
sengcr agent for the southwestern pas
senger association, whose office is At
St, Louis.
Three Glasses OF Tickets.
Oklahoma travellers have had three
kinds Of tickets which will require re-
demption, mileage, interchangeable
script, and eredentisi books, Mileage
Tor the most part must be returned 10
the general passenger agents OF the
roads which sold them, although In a
few cases II will be found that certain
kinds OF mileage were issued throsgh
HanniRan'S office In 81. Louis.
The credential book form OF trans.
portstion is contract between the pur-
chaser and the railroad that after the
purchaser has travelled 5000 miles I've
may turn in his book cover and rebate
enough is given him 90 that his travel
has cost him two Snd q half cents
mile, A curious turn Of affairs In con.
neotion with the new June 10 rule oc.
ours in relation to this kind OF trans
portation.
A ruling has been made that n pur-
chaser may buy one OF these 6n00-milc
books and after he has travelled lOU
miles, or perhaps used 1000 miles fot
himself and other persons accompany.
ing him, he may turn in his book and
have rebate enough coming TO him so
that the 900 miles cost him only two
and one half cents a mile.
Trouble with Commuters.
Railroad men point out that most of
the trouble connected with railroad
patrons getting their tickets redeemed
comes al big citirs where there are
thousands OF commuters, such cities as
Boston, New York and Chicago. These
commuters, Of course, all have 10 stand
the Is percent increase on their trir
tickets and the big city terminals will
probably be swamped two days before
June 10 by the business OF commutcr,
getting their tickets redeemed. Okla.
Iona City and hardly any other city
in the southwest, has this commute
proposition to contend with.
Railroad men here advise that alLper
sons having tickets TO redeem and in
tend sending them TO J. f. Hsnnigan's
St. Louis office, send their tickets by
registered mail. The railroad ticket
agents here say no kind Of tickets can
be redeemed in this city.

they could not read or anything and
they would always be able 20 think

and the men out OF work given nice easy

clothes TO wear, and he said our presi-
dent ought to do that and he said il was
a disgrace to our country the way he

SALuT|NG HAS GROWN
TO Be BIG PROBLEM
Various English Organizations
Become Confused By Or
ders Issued.

London (by mail)-The eve occur
ring saluing problem has been brought
to the British avy in rather pcrpleXing
form by the growing activities Of the
Woman's Royal Naval Service. Senior
officers in the service desired to be
satuted by those of lower rank. male
or female; the majority of the gil
''prtvates" want to salute someone but
VINO, when and how have not been
definitely fixed even in official orders.
In fact most Of the confusion is at
tributed to recent official orders. 1t
reads that Officers and women Of the
w. r. N. S. Commonly called Wrensl
will not salute their superior officers
(male or female). When addressed by
their superior officers they are. how
ever. to stand at attention and suitable
respect is always to be paid such SUI
pertor officers m ali occasions"
"A very great deal depends of that
word SUITABLE" said a Wren private
when she first read the order. Before
the war she had been accustomed to
very seriously and considers her COM
.mand a unit rather than several in
dividuals. 1.-THE question naturally
arises as to what might be considered
suitable respect toward an officer who
might have been unanimously voted
SoSSy W AN SA4SS SAS
There is too much opportunity for
display ef individualism.'
But the paragraph affecting the men
is causing more confusion. 1t reads;
"Offcers and men of other Royal
Naval Services will salute officers OF
the w. r. N. S. who, by their badges
of rank, n their seniors. when they
meet or pass them, in a similar man
ner to officers of the Royal Navy. Of
icers OF tho w. R N. S. will! ackEowl-
edge such salutes by bowling"
Sailors have been heard to ask why
they should salute a Wren officer when
the Wren privates are not required to
do The same. Then a long standing
order in he British navy requires a
sailor to salute anyone "having tho
general appearance of al officer" pro-
mulgated that an officer might COM
mand respect even though he happened
to be in civilian dress.
A commentator on tho situation re-
marks that taking into consideration
the old and new orders and granting
generous allowances for honest mis-
a Wren and a sailor may salute
each other in about any manner that
the occasion might appeal to them to
require.
"The Waacs,' as the members OF the
Women's Army Auxiliary Corps are
called, are said to salute their officers
in camps and offices, n In France the
practice is carried out among them in
public as well. The girls do not use
the full arm sweep as in the army, but
merely raise the hand to the hat. They
salute officers of the army or
navy, 1t appears. nor do the women
ofncers receive salutes from service
men. Despite their military uniform
and bearing, officers of the women's
organizations are expected, if presented
to the king or queen, to courtesy in the
old fashioned way of their grand
