Final Drive Planned.
The final drive of the Hot Stov.
ers will come on a day this week.
probably on Wednesday, according
to plans announced at headquarters
this morning.
The executive committee Is slated
for meeting this evening at
o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms, at which time the decision on
the date and the personnel of the
committees will be determined. The
tentative plan outlined is to bring
into service a committee Of 20 to 30
men, divide this number into conn
mittees of two or three men each
and assign small territory to each
committee. 1t is believed that the
remaining territory can be covered
in short order through operation
under this plan.
Printers Go Strong.
The batting average of the Chick
asha local of the Tyl ographical
union is absolutely 1000 percent. The
printers bought so planks at dol
lar a throw. Other organizations in
the city purchased more planks than
the printers, but the Typos percent
age counts when the number of men,
bers is considered. The local printers
union has 10 members, making S.
a piece representing the $50 purchase
| by the local.
Not only this, but the printers
state that the individual members
will help build fence and grandstand.
The Rock Island shopmen, the car
penters and other organizations, in
addition to that countless army
known only as fans" will also help
build the park, according to tht.r
statements.
Checks BY Mail.
Checks have been coming to the
Hot Stove league by mail. Some in
dividuals and firms, not content to
wait for the soliciting committees,
have mailed their checks.
Among the by-mail purchases came
several from out Of town. One of
these was from e. Brightwell, former
manager Of the Chickasha Star and
rat present city editor of the Drum,
/ TlSnJ Derrlck. Here my check for
some planks,% wrote Mr. Brightwell.
Il am in Drumright and will be root
ing for the Drumright team of the
Western association, but | want to
know that have a five spot invest
ed in the athletic park of the old
home town. Good luck"
These checks by mail are very
satisfactory and encouraging said
DR.. A. B. Leeds, president Of the
Hot Stovers. "It shows that people
are really interested and are giving
absolute endorsement to the propo.
sition. This is voluntary drive
