WITH
WORK Of PLANT
OF COUNTY FAIR
Hindered by Dry Weather; Stock
Pavilion Nearing Completion;
Plans Go Forward.

While the amusement committee
of the Grady county fair is busily
booking attractions for the fair here,
Septmber 202122-23, workmen are
getting the plant in shape to take
care of the exhibits and amusement
features.
Under the direction of Ben Bur-
CESS, horseman, the building of the
race track is going steadily forward.
The north turn has been practically
finished and the teams are now
working on the south bank. The
dry weather is hindering this work
greatly, the ground being so hard
that it is with difficulty that the
plows and scrapers move the dirt.
Mr. Burgess stated this morning that
if the weather man didn't send a
soaking rain by the end of the pres
ent week, work on the race track
might be stopped entirely. With a
rain, however, the job could be
finished in fine shape, he declared.
The stock pavilion, just southwest
OF the exposition building is also
nearing completion. The roofing was
finished several days ago and the
workmen are now busy putting down
the concret floors. The east and
west wings of the building will be
used to exhibit fine Grady county
hogs, while the center section will
be used as show place for the
cattle.
There is every indication that the
entire plant will be in readiness
some days before the openilg of the

fair program for the reason that the
saces and other amusement stunts
will be staged in the ball park. An
effort was made to get the fair Of
ficials to allow the games to be
played in the park here, after the
racing program every day, but the
effort was fruitless.
The fair officials have agreed that
the teams can use the ball park and
grandstand, starting on Friday, Sep
.ember 49, which is the last day of
the fair. A suggestion was made to
Mr.. Winder that he start the games
on that date here, giving him the
benefit of one day at the fair plus
Saturday and Sunday crowd
He was of the opinion that the hold
ing the two ball clubs here for four
days or from September 10 to Sep
tember 22, inclusive, would be too
great TO JUSTIFY Une emu.
1t is the idea of both moguls,
Schmidt and Winder, that the cham-
pionship series should start on Sep
tember 20. Wherefore, it seems that
if the series does start on that date,
the Chickasha fans will not see the
first three games.
While no decision has been made
to date, it seems hat the first three
battles will be staged in Ft. Smith
providing of course hat the Twins
win the second half championship
The series is scheduled sever

first four games being declared win

What about the championship
series of the Western association,
where is it to be played and when?
Those questions are today upper
most in the minds of the Chickasla
fans as Chickasha and Fort Smith,
probable contenders in the champ
series, are playing off their final
series of the year here. The lead OF
the Twins virtually gives them a
cinch on the winning Of the last
half of the pennant chase and as the
Chicks topped the first half, there
is little left for speculation as to
what teams will contend for honors
when the post-season battles open.
This morning, Ray Winder, mogul
of the Chickasha team was unable
to throw any light on the dates OF
the hig series and was undecided
as to where the first games would
be played. He pointed out that ne
was faced by peculiar situation
in that the ball park here will not
be available for the games until af
ter the close of the Grady County
fair, September 2O-21-22-23.
