BASEBALL OPENS
HERE april THE
18TH, HEAD SAYS
League Schedule Hinges on
Attitude of Cleburne, Tex.
Team; Durant May
Come In

Deilnlte adoption of the Texas Okla.
homa Baseball league schedule hinges
on the attitude of the Cleburne team.
Whlch' according to an intimation of
~. T.. Hunter, may drop out of the
circuit. Mr.. Hunter represented the
tleburne management at the meeting
ot the TO moguls which was con.
Quoted at Dallas. Texas. Sunday, and
at which Ardmore was represented by
Walter Thompson
Mr. Thompson informed the league
heads at the meeting that, in the
event Cleburne passes up its franchise
in the organization, an experienced
baseball man of Oklahoma is anxious
TO take over the Cleburne papers and
transfer either to Durant or Ada. 1t
T. a'so Understood that Denison, Tex
as, may bid for the franchise. With
'leburne out of the league, another
team would either have to be added
to continue the eight.club circuit, or
one would have TO be dropped to re-
vert back to six members as was the
total last year.
President Roberts of the TO league
was authorized to investigate the Gle
burne situation, and definite decision
VIII be made this week as to it's
status. President Roberts was also
empowered to take on another club or
drop one Of the present seven if Gle.
burne drops out. Any change which
may be made in the membership of
the league will necessitate revision of
the present schedule.
BY unanimous vote, the salary limit
of the league was placed at $4,000,
and the daily guarantee was raised to
$75. Formal ratification of the trans.
fer of the Mineral Wells franchise to
Greenville was effected. This trans.
fer is for a period Of one year and
can be transferred to Mineral Wells
next season if so desird
Accodng TO the present schedule,
ratification of which awaits decision on
the Cleburne Satter. the Ardmore club
will play 70 games at home and 70
games away. The season will open in
this city on April 10, on which day
Clcburne is the opponent Of the locals
Ardmore will play the first game
away from home on April 2l at Gle
hurne.
