NO. 7
For Superintendent
Of Public Schools
Prof. C.H. McCracken, of Cash-
ion, announces his candidacy for
the office of Super itendent of
Public Instruction of Kingfisher
county.
He hails from Missouri, but
has been in this county long
enough to get 'climated. He is a
graduate of the Springfield State
Normal of Missouri, where he
taught two years in rural schools,
and was then engaged to teach,
as principal, in Cashrorv Public
Schools the terms of 1910-11 and
19x1-12, during which time he
has built up a school which the
town and vicinity are proud of.
He is again engaged to teach the
term of 1912-13. He has been
faithful and has received the con-
fidence of the pupils under his
instruction, and the encourage-
ment enmasse of the school
patrons.
He is well qualified for the
position sought. He has studied
at the Oklahoma State and Chica
go Universities. He has great ex-
ecutive ability, and if elected
will make a good County Super-
intendent.
The Leans Won
Worthy of mention is the game
of ball played between the "fats
and leans" of Cashion last Thurs-
day. Those who saw it will re-
call the many exciting features
of the game; and those who who
were not there certainly missed
it. There were no eligibility of
the players. The teams selected
played throughout with but few
changes. First to bat came the
stalwart '-fats," and the way they
swiped the mysterious sphere
made the "leans" tremble for
fear of defeat. They ran around
the diamond several times before
they gsve the leans a chance at
the bat. When the leans did
come they couldn't do much be-
cause of confusion. For several
innings the fats were ahead and
it looked like it was going to be
a one-sided game; but somehow
the leans got started after Wight j
made a clean home-run and they I
held on and presently tied the |
score which did not satisfy them, j
The fats protested some of the j
umpire's decisions and started a
little discussion; but the leans
went right on adding runs until
they won the game 12 to 15.
This score is exactly as that made
by the fats and leans of Lockridge
in which the leans also won. Dr.
Pollock was captain of the leans
and Horace Smith captain of the
fats. Both cheered their men on
j heroically and both made some
I good plays. Doctor made a nota-
I ble catch when a batted ball came
buzzing in a bee-line past the
pitcher toward second base. It
was a stinger but he held on.
Such plays with good hitting and ,
base-running won the game for
the leans. Mr. Ilogan made a
