POOR CAR SERVICE TO PARK
Oklahomans Blundered and Bourke
Gets a Lemon.
BALL PARK IS INACCESSIBLE

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okl., March 21.
(Special.) Somo one blundered, somo
one In the Chamber of Commerce, one
who should have known better, when
ho referred President llourko to tho
management of Davis park when the
Omaha mnn was In search of n place
fur his team to play. On the eve of tho
rim exhibition game with Lincoln,
Haturdny, Jlourhc has discovered that
the only street tar lino reaching the
vicinity of the base ball park has less
than ono dozon cars ut Its command;
does not tap the center of the city and
even should every one of the 70,000 In
habltantH of Oklahoma City destro to at
tend the Omaha games this spring, not
more than 1,004 of them can be trans
ported by the street -nr company.
There are three base ball diamonds at
the state fair grounds and street car,
facilities to that pluco uro such that
70.000 person could be handled with
ease, but the die has been cast, the con
tract for Davis park la signed and
Itourke must make tho beat of It.
It was eccentricities such ait the locat
Ins of a base ball park at such an out
oMhe-way place that took Oklahoma
City ff tho base ball map. Abner
Davis, w'jho owned tho local franchise In
the TexSjS league, wont broke, sold his
franchise to Austin through spite and
then orgunlxed the Oklahoma State
league, built tho present park In an. In
accessible place merely to spite a large
street railway company which has sixty
miles of track In Oklahoma City, Be
came of this aplto work a universal
transfer system It not In operation here
and In order to reach Davis "park from
praotlcally 03 per cent of the city It takes
two fares.
IluurUn Innocent Victim.
An Innocent victim or these conditions,
the Omaha president has but one chance 1
to get a crowd, and he Is being backed
In hU efforts by many of the leading
clttzena of the city and the Chamber of
Commerce, which la willing to do all It
can to remedy Its original blunder. That
Is to effect n compromso between the
warring factions, or rather a treaty for
ono-month, so that tho rival railway lines
will agreo to honor each other's trim.
feis during the Omaha exhibition games
and possibly the larger company can he
prevailed upon to Man additional cars.
If this should not be effected, the ex
hibition games will be patronized by prob
ably not moro than one-third as many as
would like to attend If tho baso ball park
were- easy of access. However, with
nearly J.000 automobiles owned and
operated In tho city, and with asphalt
paving to the very gate of the park, he
should draw more than an ordinary at
tendance. Klncn the Santa Fo railway
passes within half a block of the park,
hu also Is endeavoring to get that com
pany to run a shuttle train during ho
baso bait rush.

tie I'urthrr Cemented,
BELFAST, Ireland, March 21.-A re
quest waa sent today by cable by tho
Itoyal Ulster Yacht club asking tho New'
York Yacht plub for a reconsideration of
Its refusal of Sir Thomas Upton's chal
lenge for the America's cup. This waa
accompanied by a long statement from
Sir Thomas, with which the committee
of the Irish club signified Its agreement.
The committee hopes that the harmon
ious relations of tho two clubs will bo
cemented further by another successful
series of races, uttu therefore requests
the Now York Yacht club to reconsider
the challenge.
.Sir Thomas Upton's statement Is as fol
lows! "I deeply regret that the New York
Yacht club lias been unable to accept my
challenge. After reading the explanation
given of Its refusal I can only conclude
that the challenge and the Intentions of
the challenge have been misinterpreted.
Tho deed of gift states)
" 'That competing yachts or vessels, If
of one mast, shall not be less than sixty
five feet nor more than ninety feet at
the water line,'
"The deed of gift atso state there shall
be no time allowance.
"It must bo presumed that the f ranters
of the deed of gift Intended that some
reasonable meaning should be attached
to their words and they could never have
contemplated such an absurdity as a
challenger of sixty-flvo feet being mot
by a ninety-foot defender.
"The deed of gift also requires that ten

"I venture to disagree from the state
ment made by the New York Yacnt cluo
that the present challenge does not dif
fer in principle from the challenge I seiit
to America In IW7. The 1907 challenge
asked for a variation from tho deed of
gift In order to permit of & race under
the universal rule. No such variation U
asked for In this case and I fall to .lee
that thero Is any analogy between the
two challenges.
"I fully understood the decision of the
New York Yacht club In 1W7 to permit
no variation from the deed of girt, de
spite mutual agreement on the ciauso,
but I maintain that this has no bearing
whatever upon my present chatleng.
"The New York Yacht club states that
It would have accepted with pleasure an
unconditional challenge. The only con
ditions I ask are those of the deed of
gift, for I cannot conceive that tho
framers of that document, after taking
pains to prohibit all time allowance,
contemplated races between such Tidlo
ulous extremes as yachts of sixty-five and
ninety feet. j
"If upon reconsideration, which I am
sure the New York Yacht club will be J
good enough to give this matter they ac
