Chicks to be an There"

Comment was made last night on
story printed in a national sport.
ing magazine to the general effect
that Chickasha and Drumright would
probably be dropped from the West
crn association roster next year
Just who had the authority to PED
die such a line of chatter over these
broad United States, or how they
figured the dropping process would
he brought about, was the question
that appeared to be uppermost in
the minds OF the local baseball men.
In short, they failed to figure out
just how the author of that story
got that way
1t was pointed out that Chickasha
has never had an idea of getting
out of the Western association and
has always maintained the idea that
some bird would hub a considerable
scrap in the event an attempt was
made to eject this city from the cir
cles of Western association baseball

The Chickasha delegation will set
sail for Kansas City with no idea OF
what is to take place, but with the
belief that there will be large
"doings," owing to the tangle that
baseball has gotten itself into with
the split in the ranks of the biz
leagues, the organization of y
club league and the leaving out u
five American league clubs. How
this is to effect the minors is the
problem that the Western association
owners will have to meet, according
to the belief of the representatives
of the local baseball interests.
The fight on the Lasker plan being
made by the minors is food for re
Election when viewed through the
same specks as the news that the
organization of the u club major
league was based on the Lasker plan,
with the clubs represented in favor
OF the idea.
May Make w. A. Farm.
Clint c. Steinberger, president OF
the local association and who, BE-
cause of business detail cannot at
tend the Kansas City meeting, stated
last night that Jack c. Letcher,
president of the Western association
is authority for the statement thai
some of the major league clubs were
after certain clubs in the Western
association as farming ground for
young players.
Letcher, according to the local
proxy stated that he has been ap-
preached by some of the big boys
with a view to purchasing at least
two Western association clubs. 1t is
the view of the w. A president that
unless all Western association clubs
can be taken under the wings of as
many major league outfits, he Is
against the plan. for the reason that
the major league hirelings farmer
to two or three Western association
clubs would put those clubs in Glass
u or even class A ball, as playing
goes. while the remainder of the cir
cult towns would be playing rockies
from the Cross Roads and sand lots,

American Tractors to
Pull Sleds Of Arctic
EXPLORER in Greenland

Official information has been re-
ceived from Denmark that the
young Danish scientist, Lauge
Koch. who is to start in August on
a new polar expedition, will try to
reach the northernmost end OF
Greenland by American tractors.
This. it is declared, will be the first
time in the history of polar research
when tractors have replaced Eski-
mo dogs.
Koch, who was member OF hnud
Rasmusscn's expedition to Northern
Greenland two years ago. is UNDER
taking the expedition in commemo-
ration of the two hundredth ami
versary of the first Danish explora-
tion of Greenland. Koch plans to
proceed from 1nglefeld Fiord. on
tho west coast of Greenland, by
slcds, drawn by tractors, to Warm
ing's Land. In the summer of 1921
he will explore the interior OF
Pcary's Land. where no white man
has set foot and which has never
been mapped.
Koch is reported to have said he
feels certain the tractors will be of
the greatest value because OF the
fairly level and solidly packed con-
dition of the Greenland ice.
