COMPETITION IN OIL KEEN.
American Company Forces Scots to

EDINBURGH, September ;, 1911.
The competition in the trade i'll oil tor
lamps. etc, is becoming keener than ever,
and is having some startling results.
So difficult are the Scottish mineral oil
companies finding it to dispose of their
output of refined oil that they have been
under the necessity of selling large guam
titles to their most active foreign COM
petitor, the Standard Oil Company, at a
price which is said to represent no more
than 21a cents a gallon net.
This represents Il heavy loss. as it is
considerably below the cost of produc-
ton The sale. however, was rendered
necessary by the rapid accumulation of
surplus stocks.
Not only is the competition of the i'm
porting companies more severe. but the
Scottish companies are ever competing
more keenIy among themselves, one COM
pany being credited with a recent cut in
prices, which makes their quotation for
the best burning oil little better than q
cents a gallon in small quantities.
In other directions the competition is
also increasing, as, for instance. in dis

Hanford, Corcoran, "Bumpus'
Jones, Moeller and DEM
niger Examples.

A little variety now and then is eel
ished by the best Of men, especially
baseball players. For a 4 player
may star in n town, but for some
reason or other he grows tired Of play
ing in the same place and welcomes
with open arms and heart a transfer
to some other city, which means new
surroundings. new faces and a differ
ent atmosphere.
The beneficial results derived by
some baseball players from such
changes can be readily seen at a
glance this year In the Eastern
League.
erhaps the most noticeable form
reversal was that shown by Charley
Hanford, who had outlived his useful
ness as a member Of the Jersey City
team. but the moment he hit Montreal
he recovered his batting eye and ha
been a terror to pitchers in the pinches
ever since. Many of his bangs have
been for extra bases and his fielding
has been sensational ever since. Much
of Montreal's succe can be traced to
Hanford's sensational work.
While Mickey Corcoran played
good game at third for Buffalo last
year his work has been even more
sensational this season at Baltimore,
where he is playing third base. His
hitting is better than eve and his
fielding has also improved.
Bumpus Jones. who was transferred
to Jersey City by Montreal in exchange
for Pitcher Sitton, Is twirling great bal
for the Pests, and is going as good as
he did in his palrnieet days. But Sit
ton has not shown much for the Roy
ais.
Old Sol Lichenhein got the best Of
the deal whereby he traded George
| Winter to Toronto for Pitcher Dici
Carroll. Carroll has been pitching
winning ball and many of his games
were won by shutout scores this sea
son. Last year he was batted hare

and he seldom emerged victorious.
Jake Gettman's transfer to Jersey
City pleased Jake and his work has
helped to boost the Skeeters. Bob
Hall never played a game for Balti-
more last year like he has played at
short for Buffalo this season. Nc
Donald, also of the Bisons. likes his
surroundings In Buffalo better evil
IDENTIFY than at Toronto, where he
played last year.
Bud Sharpe, who used TO be with
Newark. is playing his same old game
at Buffalo at the initial sack. Tonne
man, traded to Jersey City by Toronto,
has been catching better ball than he
did last year.
Both Jersey City and Rochester
profted In the deal whereby Moeller
went to Rochester in exchange for
Delninger. DENY is the better all
around player. but was not satisfied
with his Rochester berth, and Moeller
never gave the Skeeters the service he
has given the Champs" And so on
down the line there is a long list every
year.

NEW YORK. July 1S.-If there Is
anything in persistency, Knockout
Brown, the New York lightweight, will
surely land a match with Champion
Ad Wolgast II of these days.
Despite gthe fact that Wolgast has
agreed to fight Welsh in Los Angeles
on Thanksgiving Day. Browns man
ager has not stopped his efforts for
another battle between Brown and the
titleholder. The New York aspirant
figures that as there Will be a five
months intermission between now and
the Welsh affair, there is plenty of
time for a fight in the Intervening
period.
To make the bout worth the cham.
pion's while, Brown Is ready to post
a side bet of $4,000. wagering that he
can beat Wolgast In a ten-round af-
fair. Meanwhile Browns $1,000 for
felt will remain posted to await the
pleasure of the champion.

1t is up to the official scorer to decide
this question. If he thinks McCarty
was a sure out at first in his crack If
the fielder had elected to throw to first
instead of third. as he did, the young
| Tiger catcher got to first on a fielder's
choice, and a time at bat is recorded
against him. If the scorer figured that
McCarty could have beaten il to first
he would have allowed a hit. Billy

surveys in the territory the work was
done by tying a rag to a spoke in a

reservation say the work was done on
that reserve in the winter, and the
section corners were built OF snow by
the thrifty contractors. While this

some evidence of fact for the reason
that the whites who have made pur-

BREEDING OF POLICE DOGS
Prussian Diet Appropriates $3.50 for
Purpose Of Training Animals
Complete Records Kept.

Berlin.-To equip a breeding and
training establishment for police dogs
the new Prussian budget makes a first
appropriation of $500 The German
opinion is that the most easily edu-
Gated and the most suitable dogs for
police work are the German native
sheep dog and the English Airedale
terrier.
One of the largest and most power
full breeds, and national dog of Ger
many. the Great Dane or German
boarhound, has been tried, but without
success. 1t Is deficient in seeming
abilities, and as It is very excitable
it Is liable to get out of hand, and be-
cause of its size and strength become
more dangerous than useful.
The training Of police dogs is thor
oughly carried out in Germany The
German police officer is supplied with
form in which to record particulars
of the tracking work done by his
charge. Details of the weather, the
nature of the ground and the charac-
