LETTER FROM LITTLE ROCK MAN
If THIS CITY GETS BALL CLUB


II Chickasha wants n baseball
team furnished by Ray Winder o.
Little Rock and composed mainly Of
surplus material from the Littlt
Rock club OF the Southern league
as was tentatively agreed several
weeks ago when Mr.. Wlnder was
here, Chickasha will have to take
prompt action In the matter OF Sc.
curing land for down town base.
ball park.
This was indicated by letter re.
ceived yesterday by DR.. A. b. Leeds,
director of the Clickasha Baseball
association from Mr.. Winder. The
letter asked for immediate informa-
tion on what progress Chickasha
has made toward producing land for
the downtown ball park and athletic
field ad stated that he had been In
conference with Bob Allen, mogul
of the Little Rock Southern league
club, who stated that Muskogee, of
the newly organized Southwestern
league, and Augusta. Ca. OF the
South Atlantic league. were hot on
the trail OF surplus Little Rock ball
players. The letter stated that Mr..
Winder is still in position to get
first call on any and all Little Rock
ball hands not used by the club In
the pennant chase of the Southern
league. but II sounded a warning
that this condition would not prevail
long as Mr.. Allen would want to
know in the very near future where
his surplus material would be farm
ed during the coming season.
The letter, in short was mild !
ultimatum to the general effect that
If Chickasha wants these Little Rock
players. Clickasha baseball men
must act at once and that even a |
temporary delay may bring the ac-
tion too late.
1t was stressed by sundray base
ball men here this morning, that the |
offered by Mr.. Winder |
to put in a baseball team here, pro-
viding a downtown park is availa- |
BILE, is about the only chance that |
this city has Of being represented |
in the Western association during
he coming year
1t was shown that Chickasha can
with considerable effort, possibly |
provide playing field and grand
stand, in short baseball plant but
that to do this and in addition fur
lish finances for the support OF
ball club. would be a task hard to
finish successfully. 1t was shown
'lso that with a downtown park.
Thickashas worries as concerns the
pall club are practically over, as
Mr. Winders tentative proposition
was to furnish ball club and post
, bord that the club would fin
sh not only the season Of 1921, but
also the season of 1922.
"The thing for Chickasaa to do is
o cinch the ground for the bal
park, and cinch it this week" said
prominent fan this morning. "The
Stove Leguers with their buy a
blank project will build the grand
'tand and fence. There's no doubt
rf that. 1t seems assured that Mr.
Winder will furnish not only ball
,lub, but winning ball club to rep
resent ChickashaI leaving the only
hing that stands in the way the Sc
,uring OF the ground for the ball
oark. There's too much at stake to
let the thing fail through. Every :,
thing is lined up and ready to go the
that ground is secured. The
securing OF that ground has been
llaced in the hands of a Chamber
Of Commerce Committee If the |
ground can be secured. it should /
be done this week and not a moment |
later
