19STRA|GHT WILL
STAND FOR ACE,
SAYS OVERALL
By Orval Overall.

w THlLE the baseball fans of
w the country will readily
admit that the recent
pitching feat of RUDE Vanguard. Of
the New York Giants, was a Won
derful performance, l am inclined
to believe that the real merit of his
reat is not so thoroughly under
STOOD. In my opinion, Marquard
has performed not only in record
breaking style, but has set a record
that will stand for many. manv
years to come. 1t is doubtful if his
record will be duplicated in a gen
CREATION by any major league pitch
er, where the rules are strictly en-
forced and where the task of win
ming a game is made just as diff
cult as science and class can ac-
complish.
May Never Be Beaten,
There is a possibility that the
feat may be equaled in some minor
league, which | seriously doubt. but
for any man to win nineteen
straight games in a major league
championship season, where the
pitcher is opposed by the cream of
the baseball world and where class
meets class and the ablest generals
of the diamond are plotting for
your downfall, is an achievement
that must go down in history as A
record to be shot at by the fu-
ture greats Of the big bruch heav-
ing department. Instances NAV be
cited where in the early DAYS of
baseball some pitchers have won
more consecutive games than did
Marquard but the fact must not be
overlooked that baseball then and
baseball now are 80 widely differ
ent in style of play, rules of play
and pitching, and in the science of
the game, that comparisons of rec
ords made then and now would be
ridiculous.
Naturally, some will say that
Marquard was lucky to hang IN
such a great record. Granted. Base
SNA'A iN'NN - u pa VI IIit same ana
it is one of the biggest factors in
the success of the championship
teams. But luck must be strongly
backed up with class before it can
become an effective feature in anv
performance upon the diamond.
When class enters into a Competi-
ton, the element of luck is bound
to crop out at some stages and
probably turn the tide of battle one
way or the other. Pitching sue
cess depends almost as much upon
the luck of the game" as upon the
ability of the pitcher, for no pitcher
can win a game unaided.
Had Good Support.
Marquard was surrounded bv
players of the highest class and he
was pitching to batters Of the same
ranking. He got high-class support
to make his pitching effective. and
in two or three of his winning
games he was favored by the luck
Of the game that permitted him to
win. although hit harder than his
opponent on the mound. Yet there
was nothing of the sensa tonal ia
voritism of fortune in his perform
ance that would rob him of the
highest praise for achieving what
no other major league pitcher has
been able to do since baseball be-
came the organized, scientific sport
that II is today.

ABE ATTELL GETS
CHANCE To WIN
TITLE BACK
"Bud'' Fisher
By Ed. W. Smith.

CEPTEMBER is to be the dandy
y little fighting month. from the
looks of things this middle of
August.
And there's one battle in sight
that hasn't been mentioned at all
in this part OF the country that is
apt to go through if the persua-
siveness of Jim Coffroth can bring
it about, and Jim is some per-
suader.
The proposition calls for a second
meeting between Johnny Kilbane.
featherweight champion. and Abe
Attell. former champion Of the 1872
Founders.
Coffroth is trying to schedule the
affair for his chief attraction of the
month, the date being September
D. which is Admission day and one
of the fighting days on the coast
klIbane Is BaIky.
hlIoane is the one who is maxi
ing the objections to the match
He is trying to have it put off nm
III october or even later than that.
Cotfroth. knowing the value Of tho
day he has in mind, is forcing mat
lers, and 1t has got down to the
stage now where a matter Of more
ly $1,000 for expense money that
kilbane demands alone stands in
the way of the affair being con-
summated.
Cotfroth isn't man to be baked
by a tr1tle like that. and the men
are reasonably assured of seeing
the affair go through as he has
planned it. 1t will be interesting to
note what they will make the
weight if the financial end Of tho
thlng is adjusted. Only recentrv
there have been stories about how
Attell took on so much weight that
ne now scales 1876 pounds.
Question in Last Match.
Whether this is weight that IA
susceptible of removal or not is
entirely another matter. Evident
~ it is, for Attell knows that Kill
oahe wouldn't meet him excepting
at the real featherweight limit as
recognized in this country.
There was so much oues+{o,
about the last meeting between
these stars that the fans ought r.
welcome return meeting he+veer
them There wasn't any question
about which had won after tbev
had gone tho tu.or,,. ,,

QUARTER MILLION ACRES
WATERED BY IRRIGATION

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 5.-State Engineer
S. II. Lea, since the first of July, has
Issued or received applications for per-
mits to water 81 ,091 acres from the in
land streams in western South Da-
kota. This does not include several
thousand acres along the Missouri for
which the government issues permits.
Water is taken from the different
streams as follows:
White, 1896; Cheyenne, 4.477; Bad,
1.773; Grand, AIS; Moreau, 339; Castle
creek, $4,000; Rapid creek. 4,453: other

PIERRE THE CENTER OF
COAL OIL AND GAS BELT


Pierre, S. D., Feb. 5.-That there are
powerful reasons why Pierre is in the
center of or near a great petroleum
or gas field is shown in bulletin 40l by
George f. Becker, of the United States
geological survey in Il pamphlet on
Local Magnetic Disturbances and the
Genesis of Petroleum" Mr.. Becker has
prepared n map Of the United States
Owl the relation OF variations of
the magnetic needle to petroleum de-
posts and has found that Invariably
there is a marked declination of the
magnetic needle in oil or gas fields.
On this point he avs Study of
Inc map accompanying this paper JUS
times the statement that the coincl-
denca between the occurrence Of petro-
leum and local disturbances of the
compass needle are too numerous to be
attributed to mere accident or chance.
There must therefore be a direct or
an Indirect historical connection be-
tween the two phenomena in the re-
gions of coincidence" There Is a vari-
alton of 10 degrees at Pierre.
Mr.. Becker mentions the presence of
sedimentary rocks and the presence
of marsh gas in hot springs as indica-
lions of petroleum. The Pierre gas,
coming to the surface in hot artesian
wells Is this same gas. y He names
the presence of water, preferably salt,
the exclusion of air and the existence
OF an fmpervious protecting stratum of
clay seem to be essential conditions
toward rendering the transformation
possible. Seaweeds, mollusks, crusta-
ceans, fishes and even microscopic or
ganisms of many kinds may contribute
material to the change" All these ma
terials and conditions are to be found
along the Cheyenne to the north of
Pierre. These scientific notifications of
the statements of oil experts that
Pierre is the center of a petroleum
field. only confirm the belief OF the citi-
zens of Pierre in this proposition, who
are working for a 3,000-foot well to
finally settle the question.

MYSTERIOUS STRANGER IN

Edwards, whose dead body was found
shot through the head on a driveway

S. D.. Sunday left that place with a
stranger to come here to close a land
deal. This information was contained
in a telegram by a local fraternal or
~ganization today from the officials of
the lodge in Yankton.
The message say the stranger was
not known In Yankton and that friends
of Edwards believe that he was mur-
dered. The location Of the bullet wound
tends to support this theory, officials
here say.
The police can find no record of the
land deal, nor of the mar with whom
the former county commissioner OF
