Bernstorf Cable.
Very graceful things were said,
of course, at this meeting in regard
to our regrettable absence, and
promises of good behavior were not
lacking, but they were couched in
form that was binding upon no
man and upon no country. 1t SEEM
ed to me that at this meetig an old
policy toward America was revived,
a policy that is illuminatingly de-
scribed in that cable which the Ger
man chancellor received from Bern
storff on January 3, 1917.
your excellency is acquainted
with President Wilson's ideas of
guarantees" it ran. TT can
not yet be stated what steps Presi-
dent Wilson will take IL your ex-
ceilency should authorize me to
open the proposed negotiations. 1t
Is perhaps intended that Col.
House should go to England.
My own opinion is that there will
be no need of admitting the United
States into all the negotiations"
or course, there was no need Of IL.
That would have been the practice
OF common honesty, however, IL is
SO rarely observed in diplomacy. Sad
IL Is to have to relate that the
Bernstorff idea, that il was not nee
essary to admit the United States to
full knowledge of all the negotia-
tons, was not peculiar to him or to
his tribe.

That the defensive work of the

was demonstrated three times in

rallies were broken UP by double
plays and three double plays in one

OKLAHOMA CITY GETS OVER
WITH PAIR VICTORIES
CONTINUED from Page u

1t might have been baseball for
Reudy to play off second and draw
the throw on a chance of Payne
getting home. The fact remains,
however, that the ball game would
have been won by Chickasha in
that frame had Reudy kept out of
the trap. This because Payne was
safely at third with one down. Nc
Mullen poled a long fly to deep cen
ter that Griffith smothered after a
hard run back Payne could easily
have scored on the put-out had he
not been forced off third by Reudy
for the second out.
Griffin's Rough Stuff.
There is a popular belief that days
of roudyism in baseball are at an
end. If such be the case, let the
belief herewith be blasted for Grif-
fin, Oklahoma City center fielder,
pulled some stuff out there in the
second inning that was raw to de-
gree.
1t was his first time up and Payne
plainly had him on the hip He
broke a curve over the plate that
made Griffin look foolish when he
pulled away from it. Two more
came in the same place and Umpire
Perkins allowed it was a strike-out.
Griffin had been grabbing since the
first one was called on him, but
when he was called out he made no
effort to control himself. He grab
bed the jumps by che arm, shook him
and then rocked his head back with
a vicious thrust that landed on the
mask. 1t was an exhibition game
and Griffin knew that Perkin had
no Jurisdiction over him. Otherwise
he would have been elected from
the park to say the least, if not
fined fifty bucks and suspended for
a time.
The game was delayed many times
by the grabbing of the Oklahomr
City players. They were fighting
| for every break. And twice Mana
ger Humphries had to chase a flock
of them into the doglhouse
Good Club at That.
Oklahoma City has a good, hard
| fighting ball club and will cause
| considerable hustling in the Western
league this year, but out there in
the two games, they did not look
as much better than Chickasha as
the difference in the class of the
leagues would indicate.
A turn in the breaks either day
would have spelled victory for Chick
asha and unless the other clubs in
| the Western association are well
heeled, about all they are going to
see of Chickasha is the duct.
