ORGANIZERS SEE
GREAT PROSPECTS
IN OKLA. LEAGUE
Travellers "Perk" Up When Ada and
Ponca City Indicate intention
Of Trying for Berth In
New Loop.

The slight chill that was exper.
fenced by the organizers Of the pro-
posed Oklahoma State league when
they we're advised flatly that Ada
and Shawnee we're not candidates
for membership in the loop, turned
to a. decidedly warmer temperature
late yesterday afternoon when a tel
egram came from Ada stating that
the bugs there had changed their
minds and we're going to make an
effort to put the proposition through.
A baseball meeting will be held
in Ada tonight, according to the in
formation, at which time the proposi-
tion of getting into organized base
ball or depending on a weekly game
of semi-pro stuff for entertainment
will be talked. The tone was very
optimistic and indicated that the
faithful in Ada are responding to
the warm days and the mental pic
ture of real league BALL
Another boost was given the pro
position when baseball men here re-
ceived telegram stating that Pom.
ca City is angling for berth. The
telegram flatly denied the statement
that the Marland interests we're
threatening to place team in Guth-
rie instead of Ponca City and stated
that Marland was building one Of
the best athletic fields in the state
with the idea of getting that city
connected with an organized baseball
circuit. Interest is running high in
Ponca City, the dope states. A
meeting is being planned for the
near future at which decision on
Ponca City's entry in the league
will be reached.
Duncan and El Reno are Sitting
there advices say. Duncan, espe-
cially, is 'rearin' to CO. The Ste
phens county oil town will play an
exhibition game with Wichita Falls
week from Sunday, demonstrating
that they have their ball club or,
ganized and waiting for the gongN
El Reno has stated that the bugs
there will put up their required kale
when the time comes.
No definite announcement has been
made concerning LaWton or Waurika,
two OF the proposed tows. The boos
ters for the movement here have
not made known the attitude Of
several towns in southwestern Okla
homa, except that Clinton wants in.
A meeting will be called soon for
the various towns. They will send
representatives. here to discus the
proposition and make some final ar
rangements.

GRADY FRUIT To
co STlNG SAYS
INDICATION NOW
Barring Late Freeze This County
to Be Ace High from Fruit Stand
point Says County Agent;
All o. X. Now.

Unless the unexpected happens.
Grady county will produce bumper
fruit crop this year. A. f. Houston,
county farm agent, believes.
Apricot. cherry and peach bios
SONS are developed and plum, apple
and pear trees will be dressed in
new blossom attire within the next
two or four weeks, Mr. Houston
says. Only severe freeze, frost
or beating hail storm could pre-
vent a fruit crop in the county as
Jar as the weather man is concern
ed, he states. Last year, Mr. Hous-
ton declares, the fruit withstood one
or two mild freezes and severe
frost, but was killed by a severe
cold spell. Whether the 1922 crop
sto meet with the same fate re-
mains to be seen. Indications at
present are that the county will get
much needed fruit CROP the farm
agent said. But you can't tell, 1t
may be killed at the eleventh hour
According to the grounding myth
there is more winter in store for
this section. Another sign of late
spring is the late date of Easter,
April 16, this year. Change in
weather usually comes around East
er, it is said, and if the fruit
escapes death within the next four
weeks, the fruit growers will have
little worry as far as their crops
are concerned.
Orchards Of the county are in fine
shape and if the weather man co
operates, the fruit production OF the
county should be large, it is said.
Warm weather following the re.
cent rains in fast awakening plant
life The grass in tie lawns is be
ginning to grow, leaf buds on the
trees are swelling and the wheat
fields in the farming sections have
the appearance Of rich, green mead
ows. Garden crops planted early
giving the gardens light greenish
appearance.
