London, May 23.--Leaders of 200
Irish soldiers who rioted last night
in the village of Avely were arrested
today and were taken before their
officers for strict examination.

smashed windows of business houses
and held up and searched pedes-
trians.
The reports of the affair gathered
early today stated that SO bold did
the rioters grow that it became nee
essary for other military forces to be
called out to quell the disturbance,
which was gaining followers and mo-
mentum as it progressed. After a
brief clash, the loyal forces which
were called but, succeeded in SUI
pressing the uprising, the rioters

UNIVERSITY PARK WILL PASS ON
THURSDAY WHEN VOLUNTEER CREW
WRECKS IT FOR NEW BALL FIELD

There's going to be al awful wreck
take place here on next Thursday
and when It's over. there will be
nothing left of University park but
the memories of the many hectic bat
ties, including baseball. football
track and in few instances fistlc
encounters.
Some of the fans are in favor of
putting marble slab with an ap-
pirate "On this spot" inscription
Just in front of the giandstand whore
Ned ettigrew and Umpire Eddie
Goes engaged in the memorable
battle last year. II would doubtless
also be fitting to seek out the loca-
tion of the east~goal when Norman
and Chickasha high schools battled
in the most heart breaking game
ever seen in Chickasha. The east
goal In that game was where Jimmie
Matthews staggered over the line for
the only touchdown of the game.
There are other spots within that
field, hallowed by the memory Of
some event in the sporting life of
this city or county.
But it's all going to pass and the
future sporting events will be pulled
off on the new athletic field, east OF
the viaduct where 40 or more men
are working at top speed to get the
stand and field completed by next
Sunday when the Chicks come home
to play the Ft. Smith Twins.
A call for volunteers has been is
sued for Thursday. From 80 to 100
men are wanted to work at Univer-
sity park on the job of tearing the
old stand and fence down. The lum-
Der will be hustled to the site Of the
new park and used there. New ma
terial has been used thus far in the
grandstand. but the old University
park lumber may be used in the
fence and for minor construction.
Captains are to be appointed to-
day or tomorrow to have charge of
various crews at University park
Tuesday. These are to be announced
as soon as possible that the cap,
tains may get their crews in shape.
The entire volunteer force will
work under instruction Of fore
man.
II can't work Thursday myself,
but Iii hire a couple of men as my
proxies" said Bob Human this morn
