the realm of sensational sport, will ex-
cite, thrill and entertain the people
of the southwest for four days during

Contracts have just been made for

clean attractions. It completes the
list of big features that will be pre-
sented by the management of the big

hair-raising sports. j
The New York World said: "Dare
devil drivers 'and nervy mallet, wield-
ers in racing autos furnish thrills in
a brand new game introduced in Madi-
son Square Garden, known as Auto
Polo. The drivers and players in this

the country, and displayed several of
the tricks that are found effective."

Thig makes it an exclusive game.
Auto polo has been indorsed by the
leading writers and press of the big
cities of the east. It was a feature at-
traction in Madison Square Garden,
New York, in 19!2, and all the papers
devoted columns to the game. The
game was described as being exciting
beyond comparison with either horse
the square inch than can be found in
any other form of sport. There is a
thrill every instant during a game and
an extra thrill thrown in for good
measure every other instant."

GERMAN NEARLY LOSES BRIDE
SECURED FROM FATHERLAND BY
AD, WHO CANT SPEAK ENGLISH
Claremore.—The issuance of a
marriage license by the clerk of the
county court in this city to John J.
Goertz and Annie Holland, brought
to light an interesting story.
Some two or three months ago
.lohn Goertz, who had been living
alone on the Lewis Allen farm near
the Collinsville oil fields since the
death of his wife, came to the con
elusion that this mode of living was
too lonesome, and that the easiest
manner in which to secure another
companion was to advertise for one,
and being of German descent, natur-
ally wanted a companion of the same
nationality. He, therefore, placed an
advertisement in one of the news-
papers in Berlin, Germany, hoping
thereby to secure the desired results.
In a few weeks Mr. Goertz received
a letter from Miss Annie Holland of
Berlin, stating that she had read the
ad. in the Berlin paper, that she
was 46 years of age, had for a num-
ber of years been living with her
mother in that city, but, as the lat-
ter had died a short time since, she
nas alone, and would appreciate fur-1
ther particulars regarding himself. ,
and was not averse to a proposition
of matrimony.
Goertz immediately wrote to the
young ladv, and the correspondence
quickly led up to the proposal of mar
riage and the date was set for her to
sail to *liis country.
Miss Holland arrived in Claremore !
expecting to meet her intended hus \
band here bnt in some manner the
dates had become mixed and the gen !
tleman did not put in his appear

spoke nor understood the English
Ungu&??. she was at a loss Just what !
to do, but managed through the aid
of signs to secure meals throughout
the day. and when night came went
to the Palace hotel, gave the "sleep
sign" and secured a room for the
night. On coming dowTn stairs next
morning Misqf Holland discovered
three gentlemen of German descent
standing near the hotel and in con-
versation with them, told them of
her predicament, and also gave them
the name of the intended bridegroom.
The gentlemen immediately secured
Goertz over the phone and informed
him of the fact that Miss Holland was
in the city. Goertz came to this city
post haste, met the fair lady, secured
the necessary license, the "knot was
tied," and the newly-weds left for
the home of the groom near Collins-
ville.
