WON GAME IN FIRST INNING
Sluggers Defeat Fast Medford
Team By playing an
Errorless Game
The fast Medford team went down
to defeat before the Sluggers last
Friday afternoon at Sportsman Park
by a score of 5 to 3. The Medford
boys went up in the air the first
inning and allowed the Sluggers to
win the game then by running in
five scores.
The first three men up for Med-
ford were quickly retired. Neal
came to the bat first for the Sluggers
and walked, Leddy singled and then
they smothly worked the double
steal, Neal going to third and Leddy
to second, Smith flied out to Brown,
Cashion hit for three bases scoring
Neal and Leddy, Shepherd repeated
Cashion' stunt sending him across
the plate, Vaughan went to first
and Shepherd came home on Strand-
berg's error. Vaughan stole second
Sutton struck out, Liston singled
scoring Vaughan, Shoop went out at
first retiring the side.
From then until the ninth inning
neither team scored and it looked
like a shut out game for Medford.
All through the seven "goose-egg"
innings the Sluggers played excellent
ball making fast double plays,
giving Shoop errorless support and
only 25 men faced him the first
eight innings. Crooch pitched a
good game for the visitors but his
support was weak at times.
In the ninth inning Medford went
to the bat for her last time, Strand-
berg was hit by pitcher and went to
second on a wild pitch, Crooch flied
NO. 10
to Vaughan, C. Pouron singled
advancing Strandberg to third, L.
Pouron hit scoring Strandberg. Al-
ford fouled out to Liston, Cobb hit
to the out field C. Pouron scored
from third, Leddy sent the ball in to
Liston to catch L. Pouron but was
to late. Cobb tried to take second
on the throw but Liston pegged the
ball to Cashion who put him out.
Following is the official score.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK, Hennessey, Okla.
The amendment to the consti-
tution commonly known as "The
Grandfather Clause," suggested
to the people by the legislature
at the recent special session as a
part of the democratic scheme to
disfranchise the negroes of the
state and to be voted upon under
the infamous provision of Senate
Bill No. 226 is as follows:
No person shall be registered
as an elector of this state, or be
allowed to vote in any election
held herein, unless he be able to
read and write any section of
the constitution of the state of
Oklahoma; but no person who
was on January 1st, 1866, or at
any time prior thereto entitled
to vote under any form of gov-
ernment or who at that time re-
sided in some foreign nation and
no linea) descendant of such per
son shall be denied the right to
register and vote because of his
inability to so read and write
sections of such construction.
Precinct election inspectors
having in charge the registration
of electors shall enforce the pro-
visions of this section. Should
registration be dispensed with
the provisions of this section
shall be enforced by the precinct
election officers when the elec-
tors apply for ballots to vote."
This, it will be readily seen
provides for an educational test
which shall apply only to the
negro who was in 1866 a slave or
his descendants, but it does not
specify the white man, Indian,
Japanese, Chinese or Malay and
these may vote irrespective of
whether they can read or write.
how to vote
This amendment will be sub-
mitted to the people as State
Question No. 9. Initiative Peti-
tion No. 10, and the ballot title
of the same will appear upon the
state ballot of each political par-
ty at the primaries, immediately
following the list of candidates
and, following the title in small
type will appear the words:
"FOR THE AMENDMENT"
Every voter who desires to
vote against the amendment
must strike out the words
"for the amendment" with a
pencil. if he does not do
this his vote will in every
case he counted for the
amendment.
Voters are given no opportuni-
ty of voting yes or no, every bal-
lot cast on that day being in
favor of the amendment auto-
matically unless the voter marks
out the words "For the Amend
ment," which, under the special
law passed by the legislature at
the recent special session, to in
sure the carrying of this amend-
ment, are printed upon the bal
lot for the purpose of taking ad
vantage of all ignorant and care
less voters.
The amendment itself will not
appear on the ballot but the bal-
lot title will be at the bottom of
the ballot and following it the
words "For the Amendment"
which must be marked out with
a lead pencil so that they will
appear exactly as they do at the
bottom of this article.
Remember too, that you must
use a lead pencil to mark your
vote on this amendment and the
regular stamp to vote for your
choice of candidates.
Be srre and have your lead
pencil with you and the first
thing when you get in the booth
look for the words "For the
Amendment" and mark them
out with a heavy line so they will
look like this:
Fur the Amendment.
In the good old days of the
square rigged man o'wa'-, the
days of boarding and hand to
hand tights and the days of the
boarding pike and cutlass, a hard
head and a strong arm were the
qualifications of a sailor second
only to courage. In those days
ships came along side each other
and fought hand to hand, man to
man. The llaming rigging and
the heavy pall of smoke from the
burning ship served as a fitting
back ground of the desperate
conflict waging on her blood
stained decks. The dead and
dying lay thick on the slippery
and gory decks; the moans of
the wounded, the yells and
curses of the swerving contest-
ants mingled with the roar of
the musketry making a fearful
and werid scene of the battle of
yesterday. The sailing ship has
produced many naval heros both
for the United States and other
countries. The American citi-
zen will never forget the memor-
able words of John Paul Jones,
"I have just begun to tight."
Was it because he felt that he
stood a show of winning that
caused John Paul Jones toanswer
as he did* No! It was only the
indomitable courage and "never
say die'' spirit of the American
seaman. Was it because the
mortally wounded Lawrence
thought he was winning the bat-
tic caused him to say "Don't give
up the ship?" No! If he had
thought so what would have
caused him to give utterance to
such an expression? It was
simply the spirit of the great
Paul Jones embodied in the ma-
terial of Lawrence.
With the coming of the iron
clad came the expression, "The
old navy was composed of iron
men and wooden ships; the new
of iron ships but wooden men."
If that be so give the govern-
ment more wooden men like
Rear Admiral (Gimpy) Bob
Evans. It might be will to tell
the incident which proved to the
world that iron ships produce
iron men.
A few years ago when the lit-
tle ironclad gunboat, Yorktown,
was one of our first class ships,
a serious trouble arose with
Chile over the unprovoked kill
ing of a few of the U. S. S.
Brooklyn sailors in Valgaraiso,
Chile, and the gunboat Yorktown
was sent to the scene of action
as a protection of American in-
terests during the time neces-
sary for diplomatic action. At
this time as a naval power, the
the United States did not stand
very high and the confident
Chileno-Spainard wasn't verv
particular as to how the matter
was settled by war or arbitra-
tion. The Norktown, as our
representative, lay all alone in
Valparaiso harbor surrounded
by a quarter of a hundred
Cliileon men o-war all of them
more or less anxious for a chance
to attack the small United States
gunboat. Old "Gimpy" Evans
(as he is affectionately called),
however, lost not a particle of
sleep, and judging from his pri-
vate log, which we have had the
pleasure of reading, he wasn't
particular himself how affairs
turned out. At last, on the
afte.noon of which this story is
written, the Chileno navy in
manouvering about the harbor,
came so close to running the
Yorktown down that Captain
Evans warned them saying they
were endangering his vessel.
To Captain Evan9' civil message
came the arrogant reply, "This

is our harbor and I propose to
sail in it when 1 d—11 please."
The average American doesn't
take very well to such talk and
Captain Evans was at least an
average American. Immediate-
ly the patriotic Captain signaled
back, en, the harbor is yours,
and this ship is mine. You mar
the paint on her sides, in the
least, and I'll blow your d—n
navy out of the sea." Whether
or not they were afraid Captain
Evans would do as he said or not,
I cannot say, however, his ship
was never again approached.
(To be continued next week)
