PHILADELPHIA. January 2.-Although
many of the Phillies have signed con-
tracts for the coming season. there are
many men who have not returned their
signed documents to the club, and Presi-
dent Fogel and Manager Doom are likely
to have some trouble getting several of
the veterans and one or two of the
youngsters into line. Pat: Moran. Otto

was secured in the trade with Cincinnati:
Eddie Stack, Luderus and HUMPHREYS are
among those who have not come to terms
with the club.
The one player likely to cause the club
officials some concern is Magee, the
teams star outtielder and batsman. Ma
gee is holding out for big increase in
Sd larry, and says he would rather not play
this year than sign for less than he
thinks he ought to have. OF course there
is no intention on the part of the club to
give Magee what he asks, but the club
has tackled on liberal increase over
what he received last year. and Magee
will have to sign it if he wants to play
ball.
There is no question about Magee's
worth to the Phillies not only for his
DdItlnS, out his dDlntS DIS Iuu-Settei,
base-runner and fielder. Magee led the
National League in batting iast season
with an average of .33l. and it was nat
ural to suppose that the big Outfielder
would hold out for big increase in
salary.
\ contract was sent to Magee by Presi-
dent Fogel. The document has not been
returned, but it is known that Masee is
holding out for a larger increase than
the one named in his contract. Last
Year Magee received an increase over his
salary for 1909, and in addition the club
paid 500 in fines which were imposed by
Manager Murray. Magee promised to
work hard to help Manager Doom land
the Phillies near the top. and succeeded
in leading the National League. For do
ing this he received silver cup, but
thought he should have been presented
with an automobile, the same as Ty Cobb

Magee has informed President FOgel
that he can get a salary of $500 from
the Giants if FoSel will release or trade
him to New York, but there is no chance
of such a trade being made McGraw has

considering all conditions. When Doom
was made manager he satisfied Magee
with the increase In salary. and it will
probably be up. to Manager Doom to
get Magee into line again for this season.
Magee's contract calls for about 5000 less
than lie wants. but there is a bonus at
tached which will add 5000 to his salary
If he bats 800 or over next season. If
Magee puts his heat into the game as
he did last year he should easily earn the
bonus.

in Rochester. al the nome or his wire

duties at the Phillies' headquarters this
week and he will probably take up the

San Antonio, Texas. July 26.-It
is understood that oil prospectors
have recently been giving attention
to a number of places in the Nueces
river valley. Last week company
of three men finished a six weeks
prospecting tour on the headwaters
of the river north of Uvalde. The fact
that these men proceeded at once to
take out oil leases covering a wide
section of territory in that part of
the state is taken to mean that they
are satisfied tina oil exists there in
paying quantities. While il has been
known that this part of the state
contained oil no effort has been
made previous to this to investigate
il scientifically 1t is given out, how
ever, not officially that develop
ment of this field will begin within
the next three months and be push

Deep Body OF Mater.

Spokane, Wash, July 26.-Scien-
tific Investigations conducted for the
federal government by John Free
man Bovard, professor in biology at
the University of Oregon, and DR..
Geor Irving Kemmerer, professor
in chemistry at the University Of
New Mexico, have disclosed the fact
that Lake Pend Oreille, in northern
Idaho, is the deepest body of water
in Spokane county, The work thus
far indicates that the lake has a
much greater depth than 1000 feet
in the center Other lakes range from
) to 200 feet. The experts We're sent
to this district at the request of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce for
the purpose of determining the food
and game fish best adapted to the
numerous waters. They take the tenn
perature of the water at various
depths, analyze it for plant life and
make other tests. 1t is probable that
Pend Oreille lake will be stocked
with deep lake trout. Lake Superior
whitefish and other species not
known to these waters at the present
time. Other lakes in northern Ida
no and eastern Washington will be
investigated at once
