Cosden Looking This Way.

Parties here from Tulsa state that
reports are circulated there to the ef-
feet that the Cosden Oil Gas COM
pany will enter the NHealdton field.
This company purchased for about
$650,OOO the e. T. Richards royalty oil
and these reports might be based upon
facts. The statement is that the Cos
den people will either build a rein
cry here or will make arrangements
60 run oil from Healdton to its re-
finery at Cushing The latter arrange
ment might be made with the Roxana
Healdton field producers would of
course be glad to see as many COM
panies as possible arrange to take
care of their own production. This
would leave the lines in the field to
take care of the remaining properties
and a greater per cent would be run.

WHO MADE OIL PURCHASE?
Reported that Charles M. Schwab Pur.
chased Hill Oil COMPANY.

Tulsa, Okla, June 1S.--P. Il. Magee.
vice president of the Hill Oil and
Gas company, received a telegram
Monday night from William Carnill,
president of the company, to the effect
that the Hill property had been sold.
The purchasers name or the amount
paid for the property were not men
toned.
1t was thought that j. S. Cosden
would take over the property mas
much as he has been figuring with
Mr.. Carnill, offering S12,OOO,OOO. How
ever, it was learned that Charles NJ.
Schwab, steel magnate of Pittsburgh,
and associates, who several weeks
ago had considered the purchase of
the property but who had apparently
let the matter drop, had offered Mr..
Carnill $13,O00,000 for the property
as late as Monday morning. Advices
to Mr.. Schwab's representatives in
Tulsa were to the effect that he would
buy the property. In the absence of
anything definite, it is not known
who really purchased the property,
although it is believed that Mr..
Schwab is the purchaser.
In the list of properties considered
a few weeks ago by Mr.. Schwab,
were the Hill property, that of Guns
burg and Southwestern Petroleum
and b. b. Jones as well as
several -efneries. 1t is now learned
shat Mr.. Jones withdrew his property.
and that Gunsburg and Southwestern
Petroleum companys property was in
the hands of an estate and could not
be bought and it was understood that
Mr.. Schwab had practically dropped
the consideration of Hill property. Mr..
Schwab also was considering the pur-
chase of refinery at Cushing, Okla,
md it is likely if he has purchased
he. Hill interest the purchase of the |
'efiner will naturally follow.

CARDS MAY PURCHASE
BODIE FROM COAST
Former White Sox 0utfielder,
Let Go BY Callahan, Is
Busting the Fences.

Francisco Pizzali. known to the base
ball world as Ping Bodie. will become
member of the Cardinals. II suitable ar
rangements can be made for his trans
fer from the San Francisco Pacific
Coast League) team to st. Louis.
Ping served with the White Sox OF
Chicago for a couple of years. but was
shunted back to the coast. Since re-
turning there two seasons ago he has
fairly burned up the league with his
hitting. Right now he Is topping the
sluggers with something like a $50 aver
age and at any time he may become the
property Of the Cardinals.
The smuggling italian seemed to be hit
ing everything when Scout Eddie Herr.
of the Cardinals. recently toured the
Western country. In Heirs opinion. he
seemed to be the best hitter in the
league and despite the fact that he was
turned back by the Sox. Herr couldn't
refrain from recommending him to Man
ager Higgins.
Bodie himself believes that he Is ca
pable of hitting major league pitching.
He attributes his failure with the White
Sox to inismanagement by Jimmy Gala
han, who was leader OF the South Side
crew when Bodie was in the big show.
Callahan. a fiery Irishmen,'was rather
severe IN the language he used towards
Bodie, when Ping would pull one Of his
customary bone head plays. AS a re-
suit Bodie and Callahan were at logger
heads during the latter portion OF Ping 3
stay in Chicago and II affected his work.
He naturally drifted back to the minors.
