NEW LEAGUE PROPOSED AS LOCAL
BASEBALLERS GO INTO COURT TO
KEEP WESTERN ASSN FRANCHISE

fball association will be really 10 go
20 bat" with the case Mon1ay. II
was announced today.
The questions involved In the law
suit are: Was chickasha legally ad'
ylsed Of the board meetings whereai
the vote TO oust this city from the
league was taken: Is the contract
Ray Winder alleges he made with
the Chlckasha Baseball association
legal and binding? Was the failure
of this city to support WIpder's team
due to winder's management Did
the Western association moguls have
cause or provocation to expel Chick
asha from the league?
About The Proposed League.
But back to the proposed South
western Oklahoma" league All cities
Included in the proposed circuit are
ON the Rock Island railroad and
within short distance OF each other.
The territory is compact. which
means that the cost OF operating the
league would be small; that the
cities mentioned could maintain a
team In the league almost as cheap
" as they could maintain an average
semipro team.
The sentiment expressed here Is
that II such circuit should be
formed. the league should adopt a
IL or 13 men PLAYER limit and a
salary limit in accordance. IL is
pointed out by local fans who are in
sympathy with the movement that
the proposed circuit represents as
much or more population than did
the West Texas league which has
stood the test OF three seasons and
Is now ready to start the 1922
season stronger than ever"
Last year, Duncan, Anadakro, I'll
Reno, Lawton and Hobart main
tanned fast semi-pro teams which, in
all probability, entailed as much ex-
pense as would be necessary to
finance the proposed league.
The optimists also point out that
there probably will be an abundance
OF young material available for SER
vice in such a league; that 1t would
be a rich farming district for some
of the larger clubs who own mex
perienced youngsters who are not
yet ready for faster company but
who have promise of developing into
real material
If Chickasha loses in its fight
against the Western association
powers, there's little doubt that the
movement to organize a new league
in this part OF the state will be given
warm reception here, one promi-
nent fan declared today.

Rains fell over practically the en-
tire state during the middle Of me
week followed by colder weather
the latter half. The heaviest pre-
clpilation was recorded in TIE north
ern and eastern counties. where
more than an inch Of rain was re-
ported In various places. The
drought was broken IN the south.
western part; Altus Repeating 81 Of
an inch. Points throughout the
heaviest wioat producing sections
IN the western part OF the state
have reported rainfall from .25 to
.75 Of an inch.
When the weather becomes more
moderate In the western counties
the farmers In those sections will
be able to resume their plowlng, for
spring crops. which has been held
up for some time due TO lack of
moisture. Farm work IN these parts
Is below normal for this time Of
the year and considerably behind as
compared with other parts OF the
state.
Wreat shows slight improve
ment throughout the importert pro
ducing sections having be, ! ma
terially benefited by the recent
rains. The 1922 crop will probably
show one Of the heaviest abandon
ment figures ever reported for the
state. u
The sowing Of oats continued
northward In the state during the
week. Those farmers who wers
holding off on account Of moisture
conditions will be able to finish
tlacir plowing and seeding in the
very near future.
More than Si,oO0,O0O in applica-
tions have been approved to date by
the War Finance Corporation and
the money distributed to the vari--
ous banks and other organizations
in the state. An increased interest
is shown by the number Of appli-
cations which are rapidly being
passed upon.
The OKLAHOMA National Bank of
Skiatook, Oklahoma has, in the
making, very interesting and sub
stantial proposition designated to
the farmers of that community.
With the cooperation of the other
business men, they are contemplate
ing hiring an experienced man on a
yearly salary, whose duty qwill ba
similar to the county agent but the
real object in view is to better
marketing conditions. They are
anxious to establish q good year
round market for their products
and to decrease the size of the
farms. Instead of having the aver
age farm of 1873 acres, they desire
to split these farms into tracts of
40 and GO acres, in order that each
farmer will be ablt to farm profit
ably an dget the best returns per
acre from the acreage in cultivation.

LOWEST MONEY IN YEARS
ENLIvENS WEEKS STOCKS

NEW YORK, May 20.-Stock market
trading this week was enlivened by
the lowest money rates in five wears
and rumors which dealt more or less
clrcumstantially with mergers of con-
soiidations of various Industrial in
terests. especially steels and coppers
Buying of those shares, mostly at
material gains, was out of all proS
portion to the demand for other is
sues. although sugars and related
specialties later were heavily traded
In. Rails and shippings. aside from
coalerS, were comparatively neglected
at nominal changes.
Speculative enthusiasm in steels and
coppers was reused at times to the
pitch where threats of federal or
state Intervention and regard for in
trinsic values were ignored Upward
revision of price schedules accom-
panied the buying of steels. the baser
metals and raw and refined sugars
Advices respecting general business
conditions were not wholly salts
factory and reduced car 1oadings
foreshadowed smaller railroad earn
ings. Nevertheless. the recent high rate
OF production in steel and motor trades
was maintained. with increased in
quiries for textiles. feathers and the
more essential merchandising wares
The investment demand for bonds
continued brisk, new undertakings
being readily absorbed. International
currencies were unsettled in conse-
Quence of latest developments in Eu-
rope. the British rate. however, hold
ing strong.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, May 90. -Dun's re-
view of trade says: PHASES which
usually mark periods of business ex-
panston now stand out more clearly.
Recovery from previous depression,
proceeding slowly and irregularly
for many months, is steadily gath
ering momentum, and sentiment. re-
fleets the changed conditions. Diff
ferent lines that had Jagged while
buyers waited are beginning to dis
play renewed activity as revival of
demand develops, and reversal of
the price trend has been witnessed.
Without exception, each week this
month has disclosed an excess of ad-
vances in Dun's comprehensive list
of wholesale quotations.. and premf-
ums on prompt shipments of certain
commodities demonstrate that some
needs are becoming urgent.
Conspicuous among the favorable
features is the decisive turn for the
better in the automobile industry.
where sales and output have in
creased substantially, Red building
operations of magnitude have con-
tinued. With improvement also oc-
curing in other leading branches of
business despite labor troubles, the
general outlook is distinctly of
brighter promise, although not with
out elements of uncertainty.

new HIGH RECORDS MADE
IN WEEKS COTTON MART

NEW YORK, May 20.-Reports of
further rains and additional overfiows
in the southwest led to sharp ad-
vances in the cotton market during
the earlier part of the week. All de-
liveries made new high records for
the movement, with May selling up to
2150 and October to 20.61, making adj
vances of $50 to 431 points, or APP
proximately 1000 per bale, as COM
pared with the low prices of early
last March. Realizing checked the ad-
vance at around these figures, and
there were reactions later in the week
owing to reports of improving weather
conditions in the south and continued
profit taking or scattering llquloa-
ton. The early week buying on the
weather news was encouraged by re-
ports of an increased spot demand
and more favorable reports from cot
ton goods trade. Sales of spot cot
ton officially reported in leading
southern markets were heavier. and
there were also larger spot sales in
Liverpool, accompanied by reports of
a good business in cotton goods at
Manchester.
Reports from domestic markets for
cotton goods suggested buying had
been checked by recent advances, but
that large inquiries were being re-
ceived which would result in BUSH
ness in the advance in raw cotton
being maintained. Southern advices
attributed the better spot demand
partly to the buying of exports, but
also reported some inquiry from east
ern mills. Foreign trade interests
were said to be buyers of futures in
the market here. but demand was re-
ported less active toward end of week.
The latter were regarded by local
brokers as pointing to low end May
condition figures, but there was scat
tered selling toward the end of the
week, accompanied by reports that
some traders regarded the market as
having discounted delays in the new
crop start. Cotton has continued to
reach here for May delivery, and no.
tees representing about 107, 900 bales
are said to have. been issued SO far
on May contracts.

DRY GOODS CLOSE FIRM.
Weekend Trading Is Light, Prints
Fairly Active.

NEW YORK. May 20 (SpeciaD.-
The market for cotton cloths wound
up the week with the recent advances
in prices well maintained. but without
any extraordinary amount of trading.
Staple wide print cloths were fairly
active at prevailing quotations. and
sheetings. especially those sought by
the bag trade, were in good demand
at firm prices. The inquiries for to-
bacco cloths continued, and there was
a renewal of buying of tire fabrics
and goods for shoe Innings. Some
business was done in sateens and fine
count goods.
The raw silk market reflected the
firmness in oriental markets, but
activity was lacking, business being
confined largely to flling-in orders.
