Having been in prophetic mood
this morning Harry Culver, local oil
man, relieved himself OF the follow
ing predictions:
"Chickasha will win the first lap
of the Western association pennant
chase tomorrow at TT, Smith;
Dempsey will knock Carpenter out
at Jersey City tomorrow and on
Monday the price of crude oil will
drop another 20 cents a barrel"
Further, the deponent sayeth not,
nor could any amount of persuasion
induce him to prophesy when the
price of crude oil would take an
advance, in what round Dempsey
would deliver a sleep-producer or
by what margin the Chicks would
cop the first half title.

Now Charlie. don't misunderatand
us. We don't care any more for that
dollar thlrty-six than we do for our
right arms. In otlier words we
spent II freely. the idea being TO put
some pep into you and the rest OF
the Twins and help you get over
with another game or two with the
MIdgeis. but Boss. II seems We did
too good n job OF Il. We figure now
that we gave you too big a dose
and didn't think II would put mffi-
cient fight In you to last You the
remainder OF the season.
II was our idea that the hypo
would lose its effect about the time
he Chicks hit Twinvllle. However
II seems that the needle was too
long as you up and walloped Drap
and his boys in your first start
Therefore we are writing this let
ter to fully enlighten you on our
intentions.
With reference to the mayors job
we promised you. beg to say that In
the light Of your performance yes
terday, we have decided that Mr.. o..
Coffman, our present mayor will
meet all our requirements and after
reconsidering the matter, we deem
Il advisable to say to you that our
city council is also pretty fair
gang. A survey of the city dads has
convinced US that we can get along
pretty well with the present admin
istration. Wherefore we wish to exer-
else the recall on the proposition
made to you and the rest of the
Twins.
In addition and taking full cogni-
zance of the attitude you assumed
in Thursdays game. we have can
celed our instructions with the Grady
county farmers; in re: red corn and
figure that the usual Little Yaller'
variety will suffice. Although the re-
freshment committee had made con
siderable progress in their work, we
have instructed them to lay off until
We get complete returns from the
remaining games of the Clickasha-
TT Smith series. In the event you
duplicate your yesterdays feat or
today and tomorrw, we estimate thai
the entire time Of said committee
will be taken up to meet our owr
dire needs.
We would say in closing that 1
YOU deport. yourself to our satisfac

VETERAN HORSE is
TO RACE ONCE MORE
Bay Gelding Castor Will Compete in
Army Endurance Test Again
This Year

Middlebury, VT, Oct 1.-THE bay
geiding Castor, a registered Morgan
IL years old, veteran of two endur-
ance races of 800 miles, is to COM
pete again this year over the long
trail.
The Morgan horse farm, operated
by the department. of agriculture,
which breed and owns the veteran,
decided to re-enter him for the en-
dIurance contest starting at Camp Vail
n. j., next week so that the Morgan
breed might have worthy representa-
ton in the match with other horses.
IN 1919 Castor finished second in
point of time, carrying 225 pounds for
800 miles in 81 hours 8 minutes. Last
Year he was placed seventh by the
judges.
In those years the test was held in
New England, ending at Camp Dew
ems. This year the race will start Oc-
toher 10th from Camp Vail, extending
through Trenton, N. j., Chester, Pa,
Havre de Grace, Md, Baltimore, Md,
and ending October IA at the horse
show grounds, Washington. D. c.
The test, approved by the War de-
partm ent, the chief of the army re-
mount service and the chief of the
bureau of animal industry of the re-
oartment of agriculture, is designed
primarily to stimulate interest in good
saddle horses possessed of stamina and
hardness and at the same time hav-
ing the necessary quality to render
them suitable for use in the mounted
service OF the United States.
