the opinion Of league officials. this
Is to be the only change In the pei 4
sonnel of the league for the coming
sepson.
All the meeting. according to re-
ports, President II. A. Daniels ex-
pressed the belief that Chickasha
would come through with the cash
to guarantee the club here for the
season of 1922. There was some
talk at the meeting of the Chick
asha franchise being transferred to
Joplin In case that town drops its
Western League berth. Baseball
inen here were not considering this
angle with any seriousness, as 1t Is
believed that Chickasha will be
able to meet the requirement that
I,aniels has agreed to, that is, the
selling of $4,000 worth OF tickets.
Meeting This Week.
1t is probable that meeting OF
the business and professional men
and the fans OF Chlckasha In gen.
eral would be called for some time
thic week. The exact date Of this
was not known this morn
ing, however.
Clint G. Steinberger, president Of
the Chickasha Baseball association
was out Of the city today, but It is
known that he expected to get tn
touch with President Daniels imne-
diately after the Tulsa meeting to
lay plans for general meeting
aere, at which time the league presi-
dert could tell Chickasha fans the
plans for the 1922 Western associa-
tion season in general and the plans
with reference to Chickasha in par
ticular.
In telephone conversation held
last week, President Daniels as
sured Mr.. Steinberger that he would
be glad to come to Chickasha at
any time meeting was scheduled.
Pot Is Still Boiling.
While there is not great deal
of baseball excitement on the sur
face here. there is an undercurrent
here for the movement that is strong
and growing. 1t seems that every
fan in Chickasha is a selfappointed
booster for the proposition and 10
OIL the job.
Not a day passes that encourage
ment from a new and unexpected
source comes to light and there are
those who now predict that the sale
Of the full amount OF tickets can be
put over in couple Of days, once
the campaign starts. The whole
proposition hinges on the visit Of
the league president here.
Various clubs Of the city are
planning to take active parts in the
campaign and the "fannettes" are
beginning to come to the front. Sew
