Crescent Meets
Her Waterloo
"Cotton Choppers" Get in Fast
Company on Cashion Field
Last Sunday Afternoon
SCORE 7 to 0
On July 4th Cashion boys lost
to Crescent, at Crescent, in a 10
inning game, 6 to 7. Some of
the main standbys of the local
team failed to put in appearance
at Crescent the 4th, but with a
bad line-up the game went fo
ten innings. "Whirlwind" How-
ard struck out fourteen men and
a lowed only three hits.
In the game Sunday afternoon
at the Hessler field Howard
struck out ten men and allowed
four hits. Considerable good
headwork was used by owr boys
in the Sunday game. One double
and one triple p ay was made
and Crescent went home carry-
ing a zero mark while Cashion
had seven scores to their credit.
We have a fast team this year
and if local fans will give them
support and show appreciation
of the good work the boys are
doing no doubt but that Cash-
ion will come out with a reputa-
tion as ball players at the close
of the 1919 season.
Raise $167.00
r
S. A. Funds
Cashion liked but little the
first of the week raising its
quota for the, Salvation Army.
The quota was $200.00 and Mes-
sers Hogan and Carter, who sol-
icited the funds, report $167.00
contributed. According to in-
formation from J. M. Spiece,
Secretary-Treasurer, of King-
fisher, Cashion has raised a larg-
or per cent of its quota than any
other town in Kingfisher county.
Base Ball Ai Guthrie
Cashion will play Crescent at
Guthrie at the ball park Sunday
July 13, at 3:00 p. ra.
Owing to the extreme rivalry
existing between the two teams
the contest will be a hot one
from start to finish. Go see
Cashion wollop them again.

Threshing Season On
Every threshing machine in
this section is busy hulling out
the golden kernels of Oklahoma's
bumper wheat crop and elevator
men are working long hours car-
ing for wheat being marketed.
A number of farmers are hauling
grain direct to market. The
local elevators bought about 2,-
700 bushels of wheat last week
and only a few mr.chineS were
and several local showers during
the week kept some of them
from running full time. The
best yield on any one farm that
has been reported to us is from
the farm of Wm. Derr, five miles
south of town. Mr Derr says
his wheat averaged almost 22
bushels per acre and that his
oats averaged 53 bushels per acre
Of course all wheat through this
section will not make this aver-
age as considerable of it was
damaged by worms and wet
weather. The test is, in most
cases, about 56. With just a few
weeks of good weather the 1919
wheat crop will be threshed and
marketed.
