Chamber of Commerce will go to Okla
homa City tonight to participate in the
organization tomorrow Of a State Tlai-
fic Association.
This organization is designed to fill

Tulsa and Muskogee-arc able to main
tain local tariff organizations. In the
other shipping centers, including Ard.
more, the work ordinarily falling to
a traffic association is handled through
the local Chamber of Commerce.
In order to strengthen these smaller
centers and coordinate the traffic in
terests of the entire state, state.
wide organization is necessary. When

will cooperate with similar state or
ganizations in the southwestern region,
which includes oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico

TAN CHILE EVIDENCE
SAYS PROHIBITION IS
EFFECTIVE HERE

Does prohibition prohibit?" Well
ask the chief of police or the sheriff
or the mayor or any other city and
county official who has had to deal
with souses in the past and they will
mighty soon enlighten you ON the sub
ject, taking as their text that prohibi.
ton does prohibit and will pun the
evidence of the records on you as ac
cumulated before and after July first
when nationwide prohibition became
an established fact said a Carter
county law officer in speaking of the
lessening struggle of John Barleycorn
The arrests for drunkenness in this
city has fallen off to such an extent
that when one is made for this offense
he is an object Of curiosity and is con
sidered rather in the nature of a sup.
erman, to be able to get the stuff to
make drunk come.
Since the advent of prohibition Ard
more has entertained some pretty
large crowds and in every instance
the arrests for drunkenness has been
SO small that they really do not count,
according to police court records
During the entire time the county
fair had its gates open, when thous-
ands from this and surrounding coun-
ties We're in attendance, the patrol
wagon might as well have been utl-
lied as u public service car for all the
use the police had for it as there was
not an arrest at the fair grounds for
drunkenness or any other offense.
Ten years ago and with the same
sized crowds assembled in Ardmore,
for the same length of time, and the
police force would have been doubled,
every deputy sheriff in the county
would have been on the job with
few extra deputies sworn in to help
curb the spirits of the drunls who de
sired to and probably would have put
the quietcr ones in high.
Chief of Police Chancellor states
that has men are called upon every
once in a while to make an arrest for
drunkenness, but they are getting
fewer every day. There are a few
who always could and always will get
booze and get drunk, but they are
learning to stay away from Ardmore
with their iags," said the chief land
we are having less trouble with them
now than ever before, as they are
growing fewer i'm numbers which |
think speaks pretty well for prohbi-
ton, you can take it fro1 me that
prohibition does prohibit he con
cluded.

an old ball player, but he saw lit
tie that will prove OF consolation to
one Patricius J. Moran, manager OF
the Cincinnati Reds. for whom he
was probably working.
For one thing, Eyers had chance
to look at some truly brilliant short
stopping by Charlie Risberg. TIE
Swede outdid himself. setting the
small crowd wild by his ground-cov-

took Erounders over toward third,

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Strong opposition to Garry Herr
mann's plan to increase the worlds
series of 1919 from seven to nine
games is cropping up in the Ameri-
can League, three clubs being re-
ported against It. One National
League club, Brooklyn, is on record
as opposing. Last week New York
ana Chicago registered their hostil-
ity to this plan and yesterday Harry
Frazee put Boston in the same class
for the American League.
From a purely sporting angle, the
opposition to Herrmann's lengthening
OF the series is based on the possi-
bility Of stirring up criticism to the
effect that the magnates and players
would grab all the money they can
see. Garry Hermann answers this
by saying that the extra profit
would go to the leagues, not TO the
clubs. But Garry does not say that
the players will not share in five
instead Of four games.
One writer says that If the worlds
series is to become q real classic Of
the diamond, il cannot De changed
from seven to nine games merely be-
cause the contending clubs lack q
PARK with the capacity OF the Polo
Grounds Of Braves Field, the two
largest parks in the country. He
thinks that the series should re-
main at seven games, the winner OF
four TO be hailed as the worlds
champion.
Fron Another Angle.
From a purely baseball angle, there
Ia good reason for the Chicago oppo-
sition. Kid Gleason lacks a large
stan CT capable pitchers. 1t is true
thst Eddie Cicotte and Claud Will
Jams outclass anything in Pat Mo-
rams camp, but the Reds possess q
larger number Of capable fingers.
IN q short series, Cicotte and Will
lizns could come back after one ap-
pssrance, thus doing the bulk OF the
pitching fo- the title The odds
would favor Moran If the series is
stretched out because he has more
twirlcrs Of experience.
Politics in the American League
may interfere with calm, sane res-
soning in this matter. Ban Johnson
is 6RhtinE for his executive existence
ana his three opponents in the courts
OF New York are the same three who
oppose a lengthening OF the series.
One More Contest.
The Chicago White Sox have one
more contest here with the Griffs be-
fore moving on to the next town.
The Detroit Tigers will come here on
Friday and should bring out a large
crowd next Sunday.
Though there is consuming interest
eyerywhere in the coming worlds
series, so-called city championship
series appear TO be on the wane.
Already the indifference Of the play
ers has practically killed the St
L,oufs series. Anybody suggesting a
Naekmen-Phillies series would be
locked up for observation.

eIevens.

wonderful Boston A. A. eleven, which

equally powerful Chicago A. A.,

world Of that day.
Later came those professional
elevens in Ohio and Pennsylvania in
1907 and 1908, reviying again two
or three yearssaso, but amateur foot
ball elevens composed OF college
graduates passed out and are only
now coming back with Gus ZieSler's S

Army Builds Up Football.
The army training camps have done
much to build up a wider interest in
football. Town and gown" spirit had
always served to make footbaA a
game rather for Mr.. Dooley's 'effete
collegiuns" than for anybody who
wanted to engage in a rough outdoor
game.
Jamming young men from all walks
Of life into a training camp and
ordering them to play football
shocked a few here and there, but 1t
served to show them all that football
instead Of being a dangerous sport,
was merely a rugged game that could
be enjoyed.
The outlook this season everywhere
is for increased interest in football.
