Folks, just as well get out on the
back lot and practice up ON your bot.
tie throwing, so you can bean the
umpire; better go to taking breath
ing exercises and voice culture to
develop lungs and vocal chords so
you won't get a charley horse in
the pipes at the first game, cause
Chickasha is going to have league
baseball this season.
Also, when the jumps yells Play
Ball. at the opener, credit the
Chickasha fans with putting the
thing across. Not that the business
men are falling down. They're not
as was demonstrated at the meeting
held at the city hall last night, but
it's the fans who are buying the bulk
of the season tickets that will make
the proposition possible.
McGaha After Franchise.
Here's where the business men
come in and it's a cinch that with
out them the thing would have gone
up the. flue for want of a playing
field. The question of playing at
University park was run onto the
side track when the general opin
ion was expressed that the old play
ing field is located too far out. Fol
lowing this decision the business
men present got their heads togeth
er for a few minutes and straight
way cheered the fans by announc-
ing that 10 men would build the park
on a suitable location close in, which
announcement was greeted by
cheers.
f. r. McGahh left last night for
Drumright and Tulsa to wind up
the necessary business with the
league officials. Mr. McGaha owns
the Drumright franchise. He stated
to the fans that he would stop at
Drumrght and tell his people there
that the franchise would be turned
over to another party. He will go
into the league meeting at Tulsa
Sunday, ask that the Drumright
franchise be turned over to another
and that he be given the Chickasha
franchise.
'I'll be back here Monday or Tues
day with the Chicklsha franchise
in MY pocket" said Mr.. McGata.
