Utica Concerns Start Drill

Almost A Certainty

Utica interests are now plugging

Contractor Gus Bailey began work
on two new wells Monday morning
for the Utica Gas company. One is
No. on the Ed Crawford farm on the
prairie" four miles southeast of
town, and the other is the Utica COM
pany's No. on the Jennie Weiss
farm east of ST. Louisville.
Both these locations are in tested
territory and fair producers are al
most certain.
In the territory east of st. Louis
vile the wells that have previously
been drilled have shown an average
of about 100000 feet per day of gas,
which is small compared with wells
in the Homer field years ago, but
there are advantages in the st. Louis
vile territory which Offset, to some
extent, the difference. East Of St.
Louisville the rock pressure is 800
pounds per square inch, which is
greater than the original pressure
about Homer or Utica, and three
times as great as the present pressure
in the Homer field. Another advan-
tege is that there is no necessity for
long string of casing-nothing be-
low the 300 feet to the limestone. The
depths Of the wells Is about the same
as about Utica.
The Utica company has planned to
drill 12 wells this spring and sum-

company, on the Mills farm former

chine.
The White Sox board Of strategy consists
of three men--Manager Rowland Kid Glea-
son and Eddie Collins.
Rowland hasn'tThad McGraw's world
series experience. But Eddie Collins has.
And Gleason knows as much baseball as
any living man.
Series Strategy
We have always understood that strategy
and tactics played a big part in world
series work. But we have never seen the
idea pan out McGraw has been a mana
ger strong enough to win six pennants. But
he was won only one world series out of
four starts.
The only tactics or strategy Bill Carrigan
had to employ was to start Ruth, Leonard
and Shore in turn.
Something Different
1t must be admitted, howsoever that this
1917 series Is something different, because
the pitching problems are far harder.
Each club has four effective pitchers.
But there will be very little chance TO use
lOur pltcherS.
That extra day of travelling means a day
of rest for the pitchers, Suppose Cicotte
and Schupp open on Saturday and both
pitch well. After Sundays game the third
contest, opening in New York, will not be
played until Tuesday.
II McGraw works Schupp and Perritt in
the first two games he can then either use
Sallee In Tuesdays contest or come back
with Schupp who will have had three
days rest.
If Rowland uses Cicotte and Russell in
the first two games he can either use Faber
or come back with Cicotte.
A three days rest in world series is all
any pitcher needs. With that workless day
Of travelling, two pitchers could easily work
the first four games
1t may be that McGraw will use Schupp
and Perrtt on Saturday and Sunday and
again on Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving
Sallee to pitch Fridays game in Chicago.
But there Is very little chance that more
than three pitchers to the club will ever be
started.
How They Look
The choice of pitchers after the first two
games will depend to great extent upon
how they look under fire. If SChupp and
Perritt the first two choices, are effective

outside of Cicotte, his main bet, Rowland
has an even proposition to select from in
Russell, Faber and Williams.
There is very little choice among these
three save that Russell has the greater eX-
perience. and this is no unmportant factor.
If Rowland uses only three men--and he
will hardly use any more--nO one can say
now just which one of the four he will leave
on the bench for relief summons to arms.
Short Game Spans
1t has been very seldom that more than
three pitchers were ever started in any
world series
In 1905 McGraw used only Mathewson
and McGinnity, who worked all five games
Connie Mack used Coombs, Bender and
Plank. Stalings worked Rudolph, James
and Tyler i'm turn.
In 1915 Carrigan left Babe Ruth on the
bench, as he used Foster, Shore and
Leonard.
Last season was an exception. Although
the melee ended in five games, each club
started four pitchers
The Red Sox worked Shore the first
game, Ruth the second game Mays the
third game, Leonard the fourth game and
Shore the fifth game.
The Dodgers started Marquard the first
game, Smith the second game, Coombs the
third game and Pfeffer the fifth game
Inns is lit ulSl time DOln CLUBS started
four pitchers, although in 1912 the Red
Sox started Wood, Collins, O'Brien and
Bedent.
The Added Day
That extra day added for travelling will
make difference in the selections.
1t will give the first two pitchers n COM
plete rest for their next start, even if they
are called back in turn.
So whether McGraw will use Schupp and
Perritt for the first four games, or Schupp,
Perritt. Sallee and Benton, or only the
hrst three, will depend upon the first two
games. Our gu.Sj is that Schupp, Perritt
and Sallee will work the first three games
for the Giants, while Cicotte Russell and
Faber will work the first three for tho
Sox.
1t is in the proper selection Of pitchers
that the two stategy boards will have most
of their trouble.
The pitching will carry most Of the ad-
vance gossip before each game, as with
elght possibilities the number of combina.
tlons VIII be almost unlimited.
IT we were called upon-which we are
not-to make guess for the first four
games it would be about in this array:
FIRST game-Schupp VS.. Cicotte
Second game-Perritt VS. Russell
Third game-Sallee vs. Faber
Fourth game-Schupp VS.. Cicotte.

 Open Copper Ore at Depth
 A large dyke carrying copper-pyrite and native copper has been encoun- tered at a depth of 700 feet at the property of the Mckinley Mining X Development company. Veins of un- usually high grade copper occur in the dike and prevail therein from a few feet below the surface to the present point Of development. On the 7O0-foot level they appear to be merging into a single ore body of val Be and dimensions.
 A syndicate of Ohioans has started mining operations on an extensive scale at the old Gold King property in the Bradshaw mountains. The mine was first operated in 1904 and as outputted about S500,000 worth of gold-silver ore. On the lower lev. els the ore became so base it could not be treated at profit by the reduc'
