cations for the grandstand and play
Ing field Of the ball park which is
TO be the home of the Chicks and
the battle ground OF the main ath.
letic events OF Grady county. After a
conference here with winder, II Is
expected that the erection OF the
ball yard plant will start. Haste will
be necessary, as the first Little
Rock men are slated to start report
ing on March and those to be
chosen for Chickasha will be headed
this way around the middle OF
March to April, it is expected.
Drap Hayes has been vested with
the authority to mail contracts to
the Chicks OF last year who will be
given a chance to show their wares
against the men Winder will bring
from Little Rock. Drap Is today mail.
ing contracts to the men OF last
years roster. Among these will b.
JalVubick, Neusel. Maroney. Poolaw,
Pettlgrew and Kraft.
Bugs Speake may get contract
for another tryout. II Is doubtful If
Shirley will be sent an invitation to
join the Chicks as his showing last
year was not looked upon with de-
cided favor. The chances are that
the veteran Ned Pettlgrew will be
given a chance to make a deal out

not, but IL Is believed that he would
Ike to seek other pastures adm the
disposition is to let him go If he
wants to. Winde rhas been quiet as
to the men he will bring from Little
Rock, though it is rumored that
Jimmy Johnson, the hard-hitting
third sacker of last years Henryet-
ia club will be among those present.
A letter from Jakubick who is now
in Chicago, stated that he is on the
trail of two demon infielders who
want to come south. They are both
highly recommended by Jake who
vouches for their ability to handle
the hot ones and lay the willow
against the horsehide. Hayes is
sleuthing after pitcher who stands
about II hands high and has hop
on his fast one. Even our old friend
and well wisher Vic Ruedy Graves
to get backNin in the Chickasha span
giles. In recent letter, Ruedy
wrote from Pasadena, Calf, that if
he did not make the grade in Gal
weston, he wanted to come back to
Chickasha.
The Hot Stovers are to put on ex-
ira steam this week and finish up
the loose ends of the "Buy-a-PlaDk
campaign in order to be ready to
step when Mogul Winder shows up
next Sunday.
