business"
The decision vas reached that,
when all matters pertaining to this
year are wound up, an effort will
be made to give C.ickasha organized
baseball for 1922, ii Chickasha wants
organized baseball, but if it is the
sense of the fans and business men
of the city that Chickaha does not
want organized baseball. then there
will be no efforts made along that
line.
