Members Be Vendors.
Alexander b. Leeds, president OF
the Rotary club, and Orin Ashton.
president of the Lions club, issued
orders this morning to the effect
that members of the two clubs who
were not actually engaged as players
in the game would be required to act
as pop boys" peanut and cracker
Jack vendors.
So itl be Hey boy, bring me a
coke" said order being given to some
of Chickasha's leading business and
professional men.
In issuing the orders for the non
playing members to act as pop
boys" the two presidents stated that
the vendors of drinks and eats in
the stands would certainly not be
making any larger monkeys of them
selves than would the players actu-
ally engaged in the combat.
From present indications the
amount that will be raised will be
double that which was at first esti-
mated.
A slight change has been made in
the staff of umpires. 1t was learned
that Rev. Father Wilwerding could
not be here, and the managers de-
cided on Thurman and Louthan as
the judges of play. Thurman was
formerly player in the Texas league
and has umpired many ball games.
