WITH DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC FIELD
CHICKASHA CAN HAVE A BALL CLUB,
WITHOUT vt. THE GOOSE rs COOKED

NllChdSHd can nave pdotDdli
team in the Western Association
next year, and a team that will
make the other moeuls around the
circuit keep a watchful eye on their
hole cards, if Chickasha will pro-
vide a down town ball park.
That was the last word in an ex-
tended conference held yesterday
evening and this morning between
Ray Winder, of Little Rock and
the directors of the Chickasha base
ball association. 1t was in fact Mr.
Winder's ultimatum to the very
pointed effect that at present Chick
asha has nothing to offer any base
ball man, but that with a downtown
next season is as good as assured.
Il don't want it with the park in
the country" said Mr.. Winder, but
with a downtown plant, | can take
the proposition, put in a winning
team and make some money. Meth
er would | be willing to take over
the proposition as it stands and
build park. l figure the money
that | would have to spend in a
jam up ball team here would be all
that Chickasha could expect me to
stand. It's this in a nutshell If
Chickasha builds ball park close
in, the team for next season is as
sured. If Chickasha doesn't build
the downtown park, no baseball man
Will touch the proposition"
Mr.. Winder was for a number of
years secretary of the Little Rock
club of the Southern league ana
closely associated with Bob Allen.
president and owner of the Little
Rock club He stated this morning
that Mr.. Allen has 25 to 80 ball play
ers that he cannot use next year
and that Mr.. Allen stated that he
CWinder could have first call on
any and all Of said players.
This means just one thing" said
Mr. Winder ut means a winning
team in any class d league. can
have those ball players for Chicka-
sha or any other town with which
/ may make deal".
it was pointed out this morning
by athletic fans in the city that
the building of. downtown ball park
and athletic field here means more
than mere baseball team in the
western association next year. If
means it was shown, that by the
building of that park an athletic
field for Chickasha and Grady conn
ty schools will be provided Those
interested in atlehtics emphasized
that such a field and park would
provide place for the Chickasha
high school football and baseball
games, the county track meets and
athletic events in which not only
Grady county schools. but athletic
teams of the gridiron, diamond Gin
der path and field from other towns
over the state would be seen in
competition.
such field would be worth
from $4,000 to 100000 in cash to
Chickasha every year and we've got
to have it some way" said man
who is closely identified with inter,
ests of the city today.

WRAP PARCELS CAREFULLY IS PLEA
TO HELP POST OFFICE CLERKS IN
Il GENERAL RUSH OF CHRISTMAS TINE

wrap your parcels carefully.
This was the plea sent out this
morning from the office OF Wade II.
LaBoon, assistant postmaster of the
Chickasha postoffice
In order to facilitate the handling
of mail the packages should be
wrapped carefully and addresses
written plainly on the letters and
cards, the assistant postmaster says.
Assistant Postmaster La Boon has
the following to say regarding the
necessity of postal service patrons
observing common sense" rules dur
ing the holiday rush:
much has been accomplished in
relieving the congested situation at
the local postoffice during Christ
mas tine by enlisting the co-opera-
tion of the patrons who respond so
satisfactorily to requests that par
cells containing gifts be mailed sew
eral days in advance of Christmas
day marking them if they so desire:
DO not open until Christmas, or
with like expressions. The shop
early and mail early idea as advo.
Gated by the newspapers is now so
generally complied with, that par
cells mailed at the eleventh hour
have been reduced to minimum.
and is matter of pride, with the
postal employees that practically
every package received is delivered
before the close of Christmas day.
1.-The greatest tribute paid to the
United States postoffice is the con
fidence with which citizens enter its
lobbys and deposit mail. Few peo
pie give much attention to the man
ner in which the postal service is
performed, but they seem to have
absolute faith that somehow the
post office will safeguard their letter
or parcel, and carry it to its desti-
nation speedily and deliver it to the
person for whom it was intended
every person in the United States
has a postoffice address which con
sists of his name, postofflce box,
rural route or street and house num-
ber, the postoffice from which he
receives his mail, and the state in
which the postoffice is located.
"On every package mailed tle
sender is required to place in the
upper left-hand corner, the word
from followed by his name and
complete address. No postoffice ad-
dress is complete unless it gives suf-
ficient information for affecting cor
rect and quick handling, dispatch
and delivery of the mail.
"You can Tighten the burden of the
postoffice employees if you will not
ask the clerks to wrap or address
your package for you. Do not come
back after your packages are in the
mail and ask to have them hunted
out and insured. Do not ask the
clerks to accept a package which
you do not yourself think is prop
erly prepared for transmission
through the mails
BY observing these simple rules
we may all enjoy a Happy Christ
mas"
