The Elk City correspondent of
last week, is evidently a "Back
Number" who has no pleasure in
life, and would prevent ad others
from enjoyments if possible. He
seems to exult over the fact of the
boys losing their baseball ground,
and intimates that those favoring
baseball playing are weak minded.
Now I will venture to say that there
are not three persons in Elk City
precinct that will agree with him in
his views, which is proof of who is
"afflicted." In regard to t)w "ex
pert gardner sent to the asylum" it
is possible the people of Elk City
made a mistake and scut the wrong
man io Salem, in which case the
sooner they make the exchange the
better as the base ball season will
soon open, and things would bo
more pleasant for the players. We
all iiope the boys will be able to se
cure ground for another diamond at
Elk aud continue to play bail.
