NEW YORK. Sept. 11-Philadel-
phia and Boston, leaders respectively
In the National and American
Leagues. maintained their advantage
BY winning their games today. The
most important development was IN
the National League, where Brook.
Ign, by losing, changed places again

now has one point advantage over
Brooklyn.
In the American League both
Boston and Detroit won their games.
By defeating Pittsburg In Its In
vasion Of the western camps, Phila-
delphia apparently Justified the con-
fidence OF Manager Moran that his
team would give a good account OF
itself while on the road. Its success
today made five straight victories.

half games over the Braves and
four and half games over the SUI

Louis in the first game OF its west
ern series. seemed to prove the con-
tention Of close followers Of the
game that it was not so good on the
road, while the Braves, true to fore
casts. showed that the West had no
terrors for them. They easily down
ed Chicago.
The Boston Americans, playing at
home. came dangerously close to
shortening their lead when they al
lowed Chicago to gain big early
advantage and were forced to play
an uphill struggle. succeeding in
turning the tables In their favor in
eleven innings. and thereby holding
their advantage. The Tigers made a
successful invasion Of the Yankees
camp. but were forced to extend
themselves to down the New York
team. which was always threatening.

thirty-tiye West Virginia football
men have been started towards the
perfection Of plays to be used by

Coach Metzger, former Pennsyl-
vania coach and captain, is guiding
the destinies Of what promises to be
the greatest football machine turned
out at West Virginia since the days
of "Hurry-Up" Yost. Coach Metzger
Is being assisted by Ex-Captain Elzie
Tobin Of Penn State who has charge
OF the backfleld men and ends and
Mont M. McIntire, ex-West Virginia
captain, and who deserved the dis
tinction Of coaching the first football
team in the state to beat West Vir-
GINA. Mc1nttre is looking after the
line and he has two men for every
position. The line Will average close
up to $50 pounds while the backfield
will average at least IT'S pounds and
possibly more.
Two practice sessions are being
held daily at the training camp and
strict training rules went into effect

is going to Philadelphia with the in
tentions to even up old scores with
Penn and expect to return with a
we'll earned victory. Permits expect
ed to be stronger in all departments
the coming season but West Virginia
expects to be stronger in the same
proportions. Only two men were lost
from last years team so 1t will prac-
tically be an old team that meets
Pennsylvania September rs. The
coaches and players alike are conf
dent of great year here and are
working hard to reach that end.

Prominent Capitalists From All Over
Nation Are Attending Meeting
in Seattle.

Numbering among its delegates the
leading business men of every impor-
tant city in the United States. what
is considered to be the most important
event OF recent years, so far as it bears
on the future of the state of Washing
ton, is the annual convention of the
American Bankers association which
is taking place this week in Seattle.
The most prominent bankers of
the United States, representing mon
ey to the amount of billions, are in
attendance and without exception all
are taking careful note of the in
vestment opportunities afforded by
the Pacific Northwest. With I'm
counted millions or money looking
forward to investment in this coun-
try, it is expected that within a short
time much of this will be used for
the development of the vast re-
sources of this state.
The visiting bankers have not only
been pleased with the climatic and
scenic features of this section, but
they are also realizing the tremen-
dous opportunities this portion of
the nation affords for the profitable
investment of money. That their
visit will almost Immediately result
in the quickening of the industrial
pulse of the Northwest is the opin-
ion expressed by the local as we'll

bankers and business

as follows:
Taking the country as whole, 1t
is in a prosperous condition. It looks
as though we will continue gradually
into better times. People in all parts
of the country must share in the
profits derived from our export trade.
The railroad situation is improved
and the outlook for the future Is
much brighter. The federal reserve
system has exercised quieting In
fuence and the fact that the people
understand the banking system better
than ever before has been largely in
strumental in maintaining confidence
in our .bility to successfully solve the

SPRUCE MILLS RECEIVE
MANY BIG WAR ORDERS
This Branch of Lumber Industry Is
Working at Capacity-Csed
in AerOplanes.

While there is an improvement
shown in the general lumber condi-
lions in the Pacific Northwest it is
the dozen or more mills in Washing
ton and Oregon which manufacture
spruce timber that have really felt the
effects of this improvement. The de-
mand for spruce, which comes chiefly
from abroad, has been extremely
heavy, and the mills manufacturing
this wood are nearly all working at
capacity. Prices have also advanced
considerably, which has not been the
case on other grades of timber, and
the spruce manufacturers are prac
tically the only lumbermen to benefit
because of the war.
The spruce is used in large quaint
ties in the manufacture of aeroplanes,
being especially adapted for this form
of work. AS long, fine grain pieces
are required, it necessitates a large
quantity of the wood for each con-
signment. Heavy orders from the
British government for these aero
plane parts are chiefly responsible for
the rise in prices and the large bust
ness being done.

TOMMY M'G|NN SAYS he
WILL DRILL n BuC0DL
Scatter Creek Rig to Be Used -
Tenino People Have Faith
in Him.

Undaunted by the mishaps and
failure of the Crescent we'll, residents
of Tenino are putting a good deal OF
faith and hope in the announcement
made during the past week by
Tommy McGinn that he would soon
be ready to drill a test we'll in an
effort to find oil in paying quantities
in this section of the state.
The first we'll is to be drilled near
Bucoda, where McGinn has lao
acres of land under contract. For
the drilling of the initial we'll he has
secured possession of the Scatter
Crek company's rig and equipment,
that company having finally been
compelled to abandon its we'll near
the Crescent, after putting it down
500 feet, because of lack Of money.
McGinn came to this section after
the announcement last fall that oil
had been found in the Crescent. Since
then he has inspected acres of land
to find the best surface indications of
oil, and the site of his first well is
the result of months of search. Nc
Ginn's we'll will not be financed by
the sale Of stock, but by private cap
ital.
Albert Cannady, who has had
charge of the drilling operations OF
the United Oil & Land company on
the farm of John Yantis near Tenino,
has leased the holdings of the COM
pany and will undertake to finish the
we'll. which is down 200 feet. A few
days ago the United people surren-
dered their lease to Mr.. Yantis and
Cannady will finance operations.
