4 most drastic ordinance regulating
the jitney along the Los Angeles

The Portland Railway Light &
Power Co, feeling the effect Of the

the competitor in a decidedly novel
and effective way 1t published full

that reported jitney accidents and
transgressiOns.
In san Francisco the jitney bus has
become an important factor in solv-
ing the problem Of transporting the
crowds to and from the exposition
grounds. II is significant that the
jitney owners raised their charges for
a single fare to and from the eXposi-
ton to 10 cents and even higher They
are beginning to realize that the or
d!nary five passenger touring car has
too small a carrying capacity to pay
expenses on scent fare. And An
enlargement of the capacity must Of
necessity reduce the frequency Of
sailing, the one feature that has en-
abled the jitney TO compete SUCCESS

MARRIED FOR SEVENTY YEARS
Iowa Couple Prize Winners in Many
Ways.

In the Interesting People depart
ment of the March American Maga-
zine appears an account of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. r. West OF Caldwell, Idaho,
who have been married seventy years.
Both are past ninety. They are typical
of the rugged stock that went out from
the East TO build our Western country.
Many Of us had, or have, grandparents
like them-strong, hardy and self-re-
liant people. Following is an extract
from the article:
Mr.. West is still great reader. He
writes often for the press, and his pen
manship tsometimes he writes without
glasses) eXcels that Of most young
people. He is splendid story-teller
and fond Of a joke, laughingly attrib-
uting his good health and long life to
the habit of not cultivatlng a bay
window
Two years ago Mrs. West won a
prize at the county fair for the best
patchwork quilt made and quilted
when eighty-eight years of age At
tlro county fair last fall Mrs. West won
another prize, as did also a daughter
granddaughter and a great grand
daughter. thus making the four gem
erations Of the family win prizes The
tiny one was /adjudged the most per-
feet baby i'm the 'WOman's Home Com
panion' Better Babies Contest on
November 4, 1914. Mr.. and Mrs. West
walked to the polls and cast their bal
lots.
Mr. West was thrown on his own
resources very early in life by the
death OF his father. and has climbed
many rounds Of the business ladder.
His later years were spent nj the bank
ing business. He has held offices Of
honor in the Masonic lodpo
while he and Mrs. West have no
particular rule for growing old grace
fully II may he said that they have
lived active, temperate, helpful lives,
accepting joyfully or submissively
what crossed their paths"

ton. There is a good deal Of oil yet
produced in the north end, but the
decline will probably ne faster than
normal because of the heavy body of
water under the oil
The central part of the field, first
developed, is holding good, with a
normal decline, excepting a few scat
tered wells drilled clear through the
sand and making some water, al
though not in quantities like the north
end. In this part of the field more
glycerine has been used, some wells
having been shot or squbbed four
times, the last shots doing no good,
showing the complete exhaustion Of
the pressure and heavy volume of oil
one 120-acre lease in section 9-17-7,
pushed up to 2,160 barrels from 1900
barrels by extra glycerine, has drop
ped back to 1,600 barrels, but will
hold fairly steady around that figure
by attention. This lease Is a fair ex-
ample, its high initial production,
with half the number Of wells now
producing, having been 5000 barrels
But no great water trouble may be
expected in the central and southern
parts of the Gushing field.
In the southern end of the field the
area has been thoroughly defined as
to Bartlesville sand but Layton sand
spurs may crop out. With less drilling
the south end has declined faster than
the immediate territory to the north,
because of a much narrower area be
hind it to support the pressure and
body of oil, there having been very
heavy gas to hasten the flow Of the
oil.
The Mc-Man production, which has
stood as the record individual pro-
duction of the world for some months,
is now declining, while the White &
Sinclair production, at one time 10000
barrels and among the first proper
ties to be rapidly developed, is hold
ing pretty steady. and puts that firm
now up close TO the Mc-Man company
as top producers, with indications of
holding better than many other prop
critics. being outside Of the water belt.
The enormous volume of gas in the
Cushing field has gone off very fast
until its absence is beginning to be
noticed and felt. There are 81 wells
at the sand, ready to be drilled in:
there are 145 wells drilling. As rigs
up a little less work than has been I'm
evidence for months, and 1t is reason

considered. These facts are worth
considering at this time. as one con-
dition leads toward and influences the
succeeding one, all combining TO mark
the beginning of the period when
Cushing is really starting TO 20 down
and to cause renewed hope i'm outside
fields. However, Cushing has not
"blowed up" and must still be con-
sidered as a very important factor
controlling the general situation In
Oklahoma and TO some extent other
fields; but every little bit off the top

New York, Aug. 30. = If Sammy Mayer, the Kansas City outf1elder' en- Joined from playing with the Brook lyn Feds, wants 8 chance with Wash ington all he, need do is to reply to communications sent him by Manager Griffith, who has obtained Pat Te- beau's consent to sign up the young ster.\ The Old Fox has wired May CTS brother in Brooklyn, seeking the wherea bouts of the former American Association star s1ugger.
 Mayer jumped Kansas City with Pete Compton because of the failure to pay his salary. He signed with the Brooklyn Feds, only to be enjoin- ed by the courts from playing with Wards team. Griffith hopes to get him for a trial in Washington next week.
 In seventeen games with Kansas City this year Mayer hit for .361 and looked like 8 coming star in the field. The Feds were after him for some time before he jumped

DETROIT POUNDS
 YANKEE PITCHERS

t Detroit, g.A3e-New York could not cope with the Tigers long hitting yesterday and lost the final game of the series. making the count out of 5 for Detroit.
 The score this time was z to 4, but the game was not so close as this might indicate, as New York got it's last pair of runs with two out in the ninth Donovan's men led for min ute in the second, when they punched two singles and triple for a couple of runs, but Detroit immediately came back with five, which put the game on. ice.
 A pass, a sacrifice and a, hit of each of the four popular dimensions were grouped in this inning In the course of the sIugging jShawkey retired and Cole came in. After Bush had hit. for a home run, with Witt on third. King settled down and pitched good ball, the only other runs made off him being due to errors.
 The game was featured by an un-. expected exhibition of driving a golf ball. Three eastern athletes stood: behind home plate and hit balls which whizzed over houses more than fifty yards beyond the centre field wall. The young men were Francis Ouimet of Woodland, Mass; Jesse Guilford of Boston and Max Marston of Springfield, N. J., who are com peting in the national championship D tournament at the Detroit Country Club.

KOLEHMAINEN WINNER : OF TWO BIG RACES AT
 BROOKLYN TRACK MEET

New York, Aug. sO.-Despite the heavy downpour and muddy condition of the grounds, the annual track and field championships of the Scandina- vian- American Athletic League of America were held at UImers Park, Brooklyn, yesterday.
 Flames Kolehmafn len, of the Ka- leva A. O., the worlds greatest dis tance runner, who sports the co1ors of the Irish-American A. c. in open competition, was the star of the day. He won two races, the half-miIe and three-nile runs.
 The marvellous Finn scored his first victory in the S80-yard run, which was the~open event of the program. This was his first middle distance race he has competed in since he came to this country more than two years ago. He won it by a scant yard from his clubmate, J. Pietila, the defender of the title.

B BROOKLYN WANTS
 TO GET MARQUARD.

New York Aug. s0.-A1though they waived on him at the time McGraw put Rube Marquard on the market it; is said that the Brooklyn Nationals are willing to take the southpaw now.
 Negotiations whereby the former Giant may become a member of the pennant chasing Superbas were start ed Saturday dght. consequent upon a visit Marquard paid to Charlie Ebbets and WiIbert Robinson at Ebbets Field Robinson and the Rube soon came to terms and Ebbets asserted that they were satisfactory to him.
 However, acordIng to baseball law, Marquard is now the property of To- trouble, not to. say Sinsurmountable obstacles. to the beIated attempt to bring Marquard back into the Ma fionaI league.
 John McGraw several days ago as- serted that if any club were willing to sign Marquard it could have him for the waiver price of $1.50O, even though the pitchers release to the minors had already been made out NcGraw may have changed his mind in the interim. However. as the mat ter now stands, only SA1cGraw s friend ship for Robinson wiH~bring Marquard to Brooklyn, for the leader of the Gi- t ants is exceedingly sore at the meth ods which are being employed regard 1 ing players upon whom his club asks i, waivers.
 John Foster, secretary of the New York club, asserted that he did not know what procedure Harry Hemp stead and McGraw would take in the case, Buh that the baseball law cover l ing it was very clear.
 If the waiver period has not yet ex- pireds and. believe that it has. MT. Esbbets can have Marquard for the { waiver price On the other hand, we could recall A1arquard from Toronto if the Brooklyn club offered us suitable l fnducements,'s z said Foster
 It can be inferred from Fosters re- uarkes that McGraw is not at all sat- 1sffed that Marquard is through as a big leaguer, for the Rube was sent to ] Toronto with a. string affached

 In the Acorn A. c. like in many other clubs, politics may take some part but one thing may be said of this organization that during the past year and a half the political factor has been but a minor matter in this popular club. Members of the club are affiliated with whatever party they may choose and political prejudice is now extinct in the Kossuth street club rooms.
 It is estimated that on Sunday at Forest Grove upwards of 1,20O peo- pie will be on hand to partake of the viands, and refresh nents which will be afforded the members and guests of the club. Arrangements for the outing are now completed and the fol- lowing is the amount of eatables, etc, so far ordered: Six butts of juicy will be served from 10 to 4, each butt weighing 40 pounds; 40 loaves of sandwich bread, weighing 240 pounds; three barrels of potatoes, white and sweets, or nine bushels; ten bushels of tomatoes; large quantities of pota- to salad; 1000 ears of corn or five barrels; 80 pounds of butter, And he la Q nd Mary There will be 500 pounds of tender spring lamb or 20 young lambs all prepared by that compe- tent chef John Dick Mansfield.

FOOTBALL SEASON LOOMS UP
 AS VERY EXCITING

Never has a football season prom ised so much in the way of interest as the one about to be inaugurated next month. Some teams have been hard at work a greater part Of the summer, and September will see every one of the big and little collegians starting their real active preliminary training campaign for the season.
 Princeton and Pennsylvania are es- tablishing new coaching systems this season. The former will go> from committee supremacy to that of an individual coach and the latter talk ing the final authority from the in dividuaI and placing it in the hands of a committee.
 Holy Cross owing to the fact that its schedule is a much better one in the Purple team played all of the big guns of the football world, expects big things from it's team.
 Harvard and Yale will each carry on their former systems, the former under the peerless Percy Haughton, the latter with Coach Hinkey at the helm. Harvard has lost Brfck1ey, and some other individual stars, but has a tower of strength in Capt. Ed die Mahan, who was the sensation season.
 Yale will lose oorresponding1y, but i has in it's freshmen line of last year the best material of any college. Two minor college teams, Penn State and Washington and Jefferson threaten to make life miserable for the big teams of the country this fall, as both will be represented by strong elevens.
 In the west, Notre Dame, which cast such a scare into the eastern i ranks two seasons ago is expected to ! .I- 1-s 4 IL. Yost, has the nucleus of a, good team in Maulbetsch.

MAX MARSTON OR
 GUlLFORD MAY BE
 NEXT GOLF CHAMP

Detroit, Mich, Aug 3o.-Thomas and SherriI Sherman, of Utica. N. Y., sons of the late Vice-President, yester- day won the play-off for the American Golfer silver trophy. Their score was 72. Max Mafston and c. E. Van VIeck, @Jr., of Springfield, N. J., who tied the Utica pair for low score in the four bali, best ball.. match, Fri day. took T5 strokes.
 Interest in the battle for the Amer ican Amateur golf championship, which is being waged on the Detroit Country Club course, was greatly in creased during the Iayon yesterday.
 The final qualification round of 30 holes, medal play, take place to-day. It will cut the field from "a players to 32.
 Granting that few upsets may oc- cur, students of the sport predicted an extremely we'll ba1an6ed field for the match play which starts Tuesday. The possibility of star being placed star in the drawing which will fol- low the round Monday has frequently been discussed.
 Although many golfers still term the tournament a battle between Oui- met, Travers and Evans on one, side, and the field on the other, there are at least half dozen entrants who have been popular1y granted a good opportunity of surprising the Big Three"
 D. E. Sawyer, of Wheaton, III, al- ways a dangerous opponent in match play, has been going at top speed since he arrived here last week. His games have been consistently fine, and his 73 yesterday was low mark for the preliminary match.
 Jesse Guilford, of Boston and Max Marston of Springfield. N. J.. are fa- vorites at least with the eastern con- tingent Nelson M. Whitney, of New Orleans to whom the south is looking for championship recognition, has shown steady improvement since his arrival here.

KRUEGER, GILHOOLEY AND PALMERO GOOD LOOKING
 RECRUITS FOR NEW YORK

New York, Aug. 3o-Among the promising rockies signed up by the two Manhattan clubs for next season are Frank GiIhooley, a fIeet-footed outfielder; Ernie Krueger, young catcher. and Emilio Palmero, a ju- venile Cuban pitcher. GilhooIey and Krueger have attached themselves to the Yanks, while PaImero will get his third tryout with the Giants
 Giihooley is coming up for the third tirnes and if hessdoesn.t make good this time he'll likely stick in the minor league pond. Gilhooley's first tryout was.with the Cardinals in 1911. when he was a seconod baseman Chance had him in the fall of 1913 and in the spring of 1914 Yet many fans thought Chance never gave "Gil, a fair show here. He hit .341 in A games in 1918, which was proof he deserved a longer trial.
 Krueger is just alkid. who has been service with the Cleveland Indians. Palmero was one of the finest pitch CTS in the minors this season, and by net year he should be able to take his regular place on the Giants firing line.
