Tulsa World: With lead at $l0(
a ton and zinc averaging 500 the
Miami district established a ne"
record last week, both foi tonnage
and value OF the product
Lead is at the highest mark
reached since August, 1917, wher
it was $ll0 a ton, while zinc, al
though ia rbelow the highest price
paid for it, brought fair price
considering total tonnage for the
week.
The tonnage for the week was
1922, of which 1894 WAS lead and
632S zinc. The total value was
$539,60 The former high mark
was for the week ending March Is,
1918, when tn ctotal was l4,7792lO
pounds, with the market value OF
$4l7,o6O
This was an almost complete
cleanup of the field. There is lit
tie ore left in the bins, and the
mines are running full time, al
though some Of them are short of
labor, which means that from this
on. the mines must produce lead
and zinc to meet the demands,
which are steadily increasing. The
market, in the face of record
week, was strong, as indicated by
the price of zinc, which was the
same as the previous week-So0 a
ton-and under existing conditions
a higher mark is looked for.
The turn-in for last week brings
the total sales for the year to near
the $100O0000 mark, which is a
little more than $4000,000 below the
total for last year. Wish better
production will be stimu-
lated considerably, and it is only a
question of time, the operators say,
until every mill in the district will
be running full time. thus bringing

Paris, July l9.-It was in fight
ing that Queint Roosevelt, who
three days previously had brought
down his first German, was lost. a
paper reports.
He was flying with patrol OF
five which became separated and
saw two others, which he joined,
believing they belonged to his pa
troll. Discovering that they were
Germans, he attacked and pursued
one to a point fifteen miles within
the German lines, where machine,
believed to be his was seen by broth
er aviators, to fall.
His loss was quickly avenged. The
American aviators believe they de-
stroyed IA machines on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. Some of these
are officially confirmed. Others
were seen to fall within the Ger
man lines. For instance IAN Amer

German lines met patrol OF equal

American troops in the scissors

Philadelphia, June 12.-From time
to time during the last year old
Penn'S track squad has been de-

O'BRIEN IS NAMED
BALTIMORE REFEREE

Baltimore. June 12.-Deputy Mar
shall Sam House announced this
morning that Frank (Pop) O'Brien
of Philadelphia had been appointed
an official referee of boxing in Bal
timore. While the police authori-
ties preferred to get Baltimore men
the fact that none Of them could be
gotten resulted in the appointment
of O'Brien. The Quaker is a we'll
known and capable man and has
given absolute satisfaction in the
several times he has appeared here.
OBrien will act in any bouts that
may be booked for the present, as
Capt. James P. ODonovan has been

In NEED OF EQUIPMENT.
Baseball Supplies Greatly in De,
mand by Americans in France.

New York. June 12.-There is q
great shortage of baseball equip
ment among Uncle Sans fighting
boys in France. George w. A.
Zahn. a well-known local basket
ball magnate. who has entered the
service of the American Y. NJ. C..
A, and who is now over there, writes
to the Inquirer that the great
American game is being played at
every opportunity the soldiers get,
and that the request for diamond
material is inadequate to supply
the demand.
Zahn says 1t is a common sight to
sec twenty ball games going on
at the same time on the vast fields
near the various camps. Whenever
they get the chance. Pershing's
Crusaders play bali, and despite
split bats, sadly misshaped balls
and torn gloves. the Americans play
just as hard and enthusiastically
to win these games as they did
when playing in this country. Base
ball equipment is as eagerly look
ed for by the soldiers as letters
from home. Every red-blooded
American likes baseball, and being
so far from home, it is only nat
ural the great game should appeal
more to him now than ever be-
fore.
