Every once in a while some thought
less baseball aggregation, that really
don't know where it is at takes a pecul
iar notion into its knot that it wants to
measure bats with Wewoka and they are
never postively convinced until they come
over here and tackle the live, up-to date
Seminole capital.
Last Sunday a band of Konawa boys
who styled themselves ball players came
over here, regaled themselves in gaudy
red suits with glaring ads and fooled
several hundred of our people into the
belief that they would witness a game
of ball. But, really, it was the most
one-sided propsition imaginable. It was
so ludicrous in most of its features that
even those not familiar with the game
were convulsed with laughter. Our boys
had such an easy going thing that they
didn't even get warmed up enough to
call for a drink and turned over the icu
water to the Konawa team. The visitors
didn't seem to have but one ball player,
aud it devolved on the Indian, Mike, to
make two unearned scores. 1 he fine,
stalwart Wewoka athletes, in their pre-
liminary diamond manoevers, gave
unmistakable promise of success and
and at once created sympathy for the
visitors. After the opening of the game
the hundreds of spectators realized the
fact that the affair would be one sided,
and interest waned until the finish, which
showed a score of 18 to 2.
But the visitors, expecting to be rein-
forced, promised a better game on Mon
day and made their promise good. Two
men came in from Maud aud the Kona-
was put Mike in the box. A hot game
was reported, the main weakness of the
visitors being a noticeable lack of sup-
port for the pitcher. However, although
a good game partially redeemed the sur-
prised red-suits, showing a score of (i to 4
in favor of Wewoka, the visitors knew
that they were outclassed, and on their
departure for home carried with them
the purchased conviction that no ordinary
ball team can go up against W ewoka s
incomparable athletes and expect to win.

Good Roads Talk.
A meetiug of the good roads commit-
tee was held last Monday niglit, and al-
though all members were not present,
important road matters were looked af-
ter and the work of immediately improv-
ing the highways leading to Wewoka
met due consideration. It was the seuse
of the meeting that a supervisor be ap-
pointed at different places to push the
work, and Committeeman Lane says that
the work which has been trusted to com-
petent and interested citizens will be
prosecuted without delay. The work of
improvement will be donated by the pub-
lic spirited citizens along the different
routes, and all necessary building mate-
rial for bridges, etc., will be paid for out
of the citizens fund. It will be noted
by this wise move that the citizens of
Wewoka and community are thoroughly
alive to the interests of the town and in-
tend to secure and maintain all the trade
that is logically due to this business cen-
ter by the.improvement of all roads lead-
ing to the city. Wewoka is awake.
