In the first game of the city Ix-ague seusou Friday, along come three players and wallop out home runs! Mort Woods hit one over the left field fence that was reported early this morning having been seen sailing over Proveuce. They say that all the natives in towns east of Ardmore have been warned about the ball coming, and many of them, fearing It may drop on their avoirdupois, have taken to their cyclone cellars. No, Genevieve, Mort Is not working at the Ardmore-Akron even though he does l)ay for them. Anil neither is ho getting paid for playing, however, he has agreed to play with them if they let him catch so that the sign, "Primrose Dairy" which appears on the bnck of his uniform, will be seen by the fans in the grandstand. Guess the T-O league better collect advertising rates from Mort when he plays on its local diamond.

(50-50, Thompson, for the suggestion). TEXAS-OKLAHOMA LEAGUE SCHEDULE A fine exhibition of ping pong was played by the members of the Elks and Ardmore-Akron teams during the baseball game Friday. Unauthentic reports state that Lynn Boyd is going to erect a rig for his personal use in right field. T-O SIDKUC.HTS "Dutch" Behren's work on third placed him in solid with the grandstand bugs. "Dutch" is sure some hustler when It comes to hoppln around the vicinity of third station.

Much good work will be expected of this younger in the pennant race. Joseph at shortstop for the Ardmore team staged a genuine comeback, and showed the fans that he can stop them too. With the exception of a single fumble yesterday, which occurred during a time when the wind was clouding up everything on the diamond with dust, Joseph fielded in perfect style. His fine playing yesterday has greatly strengthened the confidence of the local fans in the Ardmore team. Jones' wallop for a homer In the third to the center field fence netted him a neat little sum from tho boys in tho grandstand.

However, the donation from the fans may be minimized as soon as Young's hand geta well, for Young claims that Jones used his bat without first obtaining Ids consent, and therefore owes him the equivalent of a Jail fine for larceny. Young states that he will contest the hit unless the money Is forthcoming. But we should worry about whose bat it was the hit was there that's all. I We smoke cigars, Jone). Abbott pitched a neat clean game for the Ardmore team, and his work was appreciated by the members of the local team, evidenced by the fine field work which they performed behind him.

The local team suffered a severe temporary hiss When Young's hand came In contact with a pitched ball while he was at bat, and broke one of the bones In his lunch-grabber. Here's hopin we get along without any losses on the score board befuie Young gets back in the harness. "Smiley" Pembertun wants to know who said "A doctor had a heart." 'ine diniunlllve catcher states that the doctor who tried to lance lifle old boil on his right arm, almost made him he wns back iii the old "stockyard whirlwind davs." "Smiley" say that doc slings a wicked knife. 1 in Umpire Doyle is showing up fine his work during the preseason and the fans are all for him. As yet no players In nny of the games lie has umpired this season have disputed his decisions.

We hope to have him with us in the T-O league as long as it lasts. 7 20 9 5 TOTALS 30 3 S'or by inning---: ArJmor- 012 0-ltf 0007 Cleburne 000 201 0003 Summary: Two base hits: Jones, Foi-lb-re Home run: Jones.
