Gage vs. Woodward.
Gage, August 18.
A "peacherine!* A «whingdinger!!»
A "lollyhooper!!!* At no game of the
Oklahoma and Texas league has there
been such intense interest manifested
as today. The attendance was large
and about equally divided between the
two competitive towns. The two
teams had been standing at «a tie* in
the percentage column for several
weeks, and that "tie* in the lead, and
only five more games to play to de-
cide «who shall be crowned victor of
the season.* Woodward had gathered
in an aggregation of talent that had
builded their confidence into almost
absolute certainty that the "hon-
ors of the day* would be carried off
jy themselves. Great care had been
exercised by the management of both
teams in securing the very best au-
thority available to umpire «the bat-
tle royal.* Mr. Willis, of Canadian,
and Joe McDonald, a traveling sales-
man for a St. Joseph dry goods store,
officiated with entire satisfaction to
the players and audience and with
unbounded credit to themselves. L.
L. Stine, of the First National Bank
of Woodward, was on the coacher’s
line from beginning to the ending of
the game - a fact illustrating the in-
terest at stake. The "rooter’s* de-
vices were wielded unremittently, fill-
ing the atmotphere with ludicrous
slugs manufactured for the occasion
and well calculated to find the "solar
plexus* of the batter or pitcher un-
less his sensitiveness had long since
been buried beyond the reach of ar-
tistic efforts. Everything passed off
pleasantly, the Woodward delegation
accepting the result with a smiling
"You can’t 3o that again!* The re-
sult of this game places Gage in the
lead. The last three league games
has developed an achievement that
our boys can truly be proud of, viz:
THREE «.HHUT OUT* GAMES IN SUCCES-
SION. The contest was «fast and
furious* from start to finish. Only
two innings were there more than
three men «up»—'twas a 1, 2,3 game.
Garringer made the sensational play
of the day in the 6th inning: Wood-
ward had two men "down,* a man on
third and another on second when
Neitzke «found the pellet* and sent it
ike a shot out of a gun into the air
and toward center field. Garringer
made the run, bounded into the sun-
shine, extending his body in a hori-
zontal position until his long arm car-
ried the grip into the way of the
mmming, buzzing thing and brought
t down to terra lirma mid uproarious
mzzahs of the entire assemblage.
Markle made another phenomenal
catch in seventh innings. The dis-
tance he went into the clouds has
been variously estimated from six to
eighteen feet. Be that as it may, wd
remember seeing him away up yonder-
throwing his left hook into the "fly-
ing object* and saw him return grace-
fully to earth with his aeriel capture.
Garringer scored in the 7th, and that
was the only score made in the game.
Packard «struck out* 10, and they
secured only 3 safe hits. Everybody
played ball, you bet! Tip.
Played, Won, Lost. Per Cent
Gage 19 12 7 632.
Woodward 19 . 11 8 579.
Shattuck 18 9 9 500.
Higgins 18 5 13 2i8.

THE GOBBLER
Catches small boys and girls if they fail to get out of his way. If you
don’t want to be gobbled up by high prices, come in during this big
Mid-Summer Red Tag Sale and take advantage of the best bargains it
will ever be your opportunity to have. This means money to you.
MONEY DON ’T GROW ON TREES.
And most people don’t give it away, but we offer you in this great sale
greatly reduced prices on the kind of stuff you need, not some unneces-
sary luxury, but upon the standard things you use daily and which you
can appreciate, such as the Canton Line of Implements, Vehicles, Farm
Wagons, Harness and Furniture. So we ask you to be honest with
yourselves and us and come in and inspect.
Our Red Tag Sale has already attracted a great deal of attention,
and people who know are saying, “How can they do it,” but we are do-
ing it right along and our old stock is getting smaller every day.
Now, fellows, get right. If you’ve never started right now’s your
chance. In implements we started right by handling “The Canton.”
You'll start right by using them, because, to be brief, they SATISFY!
In the Harness department we have the largest assortment in west-
ern Oklahoma, all of these at about 1-4 off. These harness are guaran-
teed to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year.
In our big circular we failed to mention, for lack of space, any prices on
harness. We have a first class work harness, exquisitely finished, regular
price $38.50 that vve will quote you a price of $33.50. Leather goods
are going up continually in price, so we feel very safe in assuring you
that you won’t have this opportunity again.
TO THE LADIES: We just want to venture a sug-
gestion: If your husband saves money in buying his new wagon, ve-
hicle, harness or farm implement, and gets the best, too, it will leave
you more money to exuip your home with furniture and other necessi-
ties for home. Then we can save YOU money on house furnishings,
furniture and stoves. Consider this! Think it over seriously, then act.
