Brings Big Discussion.
The discussion OF this proposition
was long and at times heated. There
we're those among the stockholders
who were for holding out to the last
ditch and fighting the Western as
sociation to the ultimate finish. re-
gardless of where the court action
| Terminated. Several offered to do
nate funds at the meeting with
which to continue the legal battle
and volunteered to start subscrip-
ton list TO swell the fighting fund.
Some were for the proposition OF
battling on through with the court
case and In order that the creditors
of Winder here might not lose the
opportunity of getting few dollars
On their accounts. to make up by
popular subscription the $4,000 cash
carried in Daniels proposition. One
or two creditors stated that when
they advanced Ray Whder credit.
they did not expect to collect the
amounts from the Chickasha Base
ball association or anyone In Chicka-
sha. but that they looked at that
time and are still looking to Ray
Winder to settle those accounts.
Propose Team Here.
Several talks were made by base
ball enthusiasts. in which 1t was de-
clared that Chlckasha could raise
enough money to handle team
here this season, when Chickasha
wins the suit against the associa-
ton. Scott Jones was among those
who advocated this theory and VINO
argued strongly for the adoption Oh
this plan. Fred Frey offreed to put
up SIPS with any other men VINO
would go q like amount until the
required figures we're reached.
It was explained, however, that
in conversation, Daniels had inti-
mated that il it came to SHOW
down. after Chickasha had won It's
court case the Western association
would disband, organize another
league and proceed with the schedule
as proposed, leaving Chickasha out.
Another tack the Western associa-
tion could take, 1t was shown, was
that after losing the court case, the
western association could then de-
mand that Chickasha post by April
/. $1,000 to guarantee the payment
of 500 q day to visiting teams 1or
games played in Chickasha. This,
# was shown, is requirement OF
the league and il Chickasha failed to
do this, the local franchise would be
forfeited. 1t was also shown that
in the event Chickasha posted the
required $1,000, after winning the
suit. there would be perhaps another
AZ 600 or more to be raised for the
purpose of hiring a manager, secur-
ing ball players and getting the
season started in such manner
/. that the completion Of the schedule
! would be assured.
! Case Set For Saturday.
II appeared in measure doubtful
that a settlement might be reached
however for the reason that the
creditors of Winder are unable to
agree on the settlement proposed
The proposition was to accept the
! offer of Daniels il the creditors
:, could get together on an agreement
e to receive their proportionate par'
9 of the $4,000.
II up to this morning, the First Ma
d tional Bank had not agreed to sucr
I a proposal and the Lindsey Ice
d Cream company, who furnished
< part of the soda water sold by Win
o der at the park last year, stated TINS
morning that their account was
already in the hands of attorneys
Is and a suit for Judgment against
d. Winder was pending. The bottlinl
m people, therefore would not agree t.
