Jefferson County's first game was held July 14, 2000 at Davidson Field in Prineville at 11:00 a.m.. Jefferson County faced off against Sherman County. Sherman County opened up with one run in the first inning, which proved to be the only run they'd score in the entire game. Jefferson County 10-runned Sherman County, 11-1, in the fifth inning. Sherman County had a female pitcher, which noticeably intimidated some Jefferson County batters; She finished with four K's for the game. A 30 minute delay took place when a Jefferson County batter hit the ball up the third base line and with a bad hop, the ball hit a Sherman County player square in the , mouth. Next, the Jefferson County All Stars had to face Crook County All Stars in an 8 a.m. game. Jefferson County lost 6-2, only letting C.C. score all their runs in two innings of play. Crook County eventually went on to sit and wait for a backdoor ' winner in the championship game. The third game was the most drug-out game of the tournament. The scheduled 5 p.m. afternoon game, against The Dalles All-Stars, didn't end until 9 p.m. due to scoring problems. The problems caused delays totaling 4S-60 minutes. Jefferson County became victorious in the middle of the 7 th inning when the home umpire was struck with the ball and called the game, with a 12 8 score, due to visibility problems.

The game started at 1 p.m. A close 7-9 score eliminated Jefferson County from the tournament.

Spilyay Dancing Moccasin Tracks Campaign urges Thorpe's picture on Wheaties box Towns have named schools and parks after Jim Thorpe. Statues of Okahoma's storied Olympic athlete abound. Many have proclaimed him the athlete of the century. One honor, however, has eluded Thorpe. In nearly 70 years that General Mills has been putting athletes on cereal boxes, Thorpe's picture never has been on a box of Wheaties. That's a miscarriage of history that one Oklahoman intends to rectify, Anna McKibben who lives in Quapaw, got the idea shortly after she was crowned National Miss Indian USA inNovember 1998. She hesitated for fear that people think Thorpe was out of fashion. After this years' Super Bowl when a viewer poll on ABC-TV named Thorpe the athlete of the century, McKibben decided to start a campaign. "I thought it was exciting that an Indian had been nominated athlete of the century," said McKibben, who will write her master's theses about Thorpe. McKibben Has joined forces with Thorpe's daughter Grace, who thinks the idea is grand. "I'm pushing 80," Grace Thorpe said, "I don't want to get involved in something that won't happen, I think it's workable. I think this will happen." Thorpe says she has mailed and faxed nearly 1,000 news releases to newspapers and tribal offices. This month, she will be in California to help dedicate a new Jim Thorpe school, and she'll push for support there. Greg Zimprich, the General Mills executive who handles the Wheaties account, doesn't offer encouragement. "We have done legends boxes in the past honoring past great champions and great athletes," he said in telephone interview from company headquarters in Minnesota, "I don't think we're planning on doing and short term. Jim Thorpe certainly would be an appropriate person to feature on the Wheaties box, but we don't have any plans to do that now." McKibben's contact with General Mills has been limited and has met with no success, she said. She sent an e-mail suggesting Thorpe go on a box and received and e-mail saying thanks but thousands suggest favorite athletes, so no thanks. The she wrote a real letter "to whom it may concern." The reply, said McKibben: "Here's a dollar-off coupon, thank you for the suggestion." Please send letters or calls of support to: Greg Zimprich, General Mills, P.O.
