Hurrah for the Redsl An even break in the next four games with the Giants will give them the series and tremen- dous bulge in the national eague pennant race. Another doubleheader is scheduled for the Polo grounds this afternoon. Hod Eller and Jimmy Ring will probably work for the Reds, with Fred Toney and Rube Benton doing the hurling duties for the Giants. Moran's crew is now six and a half games ahead-sof the Gothamities and from all indications at least part or the world s series will be played in Ohio.
 We note with pleasure that Moley's men broke their losing streak after II had reached six games and defeated the Lookouts who had won six straights up to yesterday
 Thus far nothing has been heard from Pat Duncan since he bid goodbye to the team in Nashville, but it is probable that Pats name will appear in the box scores as a pinch hitter soon.
 Billy Southworth was the hero of Pitts burgs victory yesterday. His home run broke up long battle.
 Joe Coffindaffer is slated to oppose Herb Kelly in the second game with the Lookouts this afternoon.
 Both New Orleans and Atlanta lost yes terday and are still tied for the leader ship in the Southern. With Torheisot' pitching for New Orleans and Boone in the box for Atlanta today, both these high flying aggregations should win. Little Rock is only 61s games oehino these rivals, but Elberfelds crew will have to win about 25 of the remaining 30 games to get the pennant.
 The Giant-Red series has caused most fans to overlook the fact that the race in the American league is now much closer than that in the National. This morning Detroit is only 3 games behind the White Sox which Cleveland is Tt D games behind. Both the Tigers and the Indians are playing great ball now and have better chanace to beat the sox out than the Giants have to oust the Reds.

Program Prospects

In our wonderful field the percent age of production is very high-SS of every 100I wells drilled being a producer. The minimum average of production is 1000 barrels per day. A majority of the wells run from 1900 to 10000 barrels and there are sev- eral gushers of greater capacity. We are preparing to drill immediately. Our field manager is on the ground making necessary arrangements. We will probably have well down to sand before our entire issue is sold. If so. and if it is producer, no more stock will be sold, as no mdfe financ- ing will be necessary. If the first hole fails, we can drill another well within our issue of $100, 900. % and it will be done at once. Even if the second hole should fail, by the sale of g portion of our eleven choice tracts we could finance several more wells- But we should get oil in the first drilling. There are no dry holes near where we propose to drill. Why should we not be as lucky as others A 1000 barrel oil well is worth 5000 a bar rel, based on days productio or s1, 900, ,000.00. With the release of as little as five acres with the we'll it will bring S1 800, ,000.00. We will sell our first well. pay an immediate cash dividend of several hundred per cent, retain a portion for further develop ment, and proceed to drill other wells immediately.

CHAMBERLAIN IS HEARD AT LONDON
 COURTS MARITAL
American Cross Examined British Flyers to Sub
 stantiate His Story.

London, March 31.-Captain Ed mund G. Chamberlain of San An
 tonic, Texas, on trial before a court
 martial in connection with his claims
 to having performed series of mo-
 table aerial feats while on the Brit ish front last summer, personally took
 a hand in today's proceedings, cross examining Captain V. s. Bennett, a
 Royal Air Force flight commander who took part in scores of combats during the war and who wears the war cross. Captain Chamberlain drew from the witness testimony tending to substantiate the feasibility of var
 ious air maneuvers attributed to the
 American in the flights he claimed to
 have made. Captain Bennett, for in
 stance, admitted the possibility of a
 visiting pilot acting in collision with
 a regular squadron pilot to take
 part in an offensive patrol, but the British officer said he was sure that detection would follow such a step. The alleged report of Captain Chamberlain's feats stated that when he was forced to land between the lnies he tore off the compass from the airplane and by banishing it, succeeding in putting to flight three Germans and capturing that the com~ pass resembled hand grenade, but
 thought, as did a previous witness who
 had testified on this point, it would be impossible to. wrench the compass from it's fastenings.
 Following Captain Bettin, Leuten-
 ant T. F. Mitchell, of the Royal Air
 Force testified that he once tried to
 wrench a compass from wrecked /! Camel.
 1 Records of the Royal Air Forces were introduced to show that Major Vancoursf whose squadron Chamber
 lainw was reported to have said he
 visited was killed in action in Italy a
 fortnight previous to Chamberlain s
 exploits.

 DEBATE WITH TAFT

Missouri Senator Will De bate Any Senator Should
 Taft Refuse.

 In the event Mir. Taft is unable to accept, Senator Reed said he would be willing to debate the subject with Senator Hitchcock, or any Senator, republican of democrat.
 Friends of Senator Reed said to- night it was hoped to hold the de- bate here.
 The letter, written in response to ian invitation Of the committee that Senator Reed debate the question with Charles M. Hay, an attorney of St. ILouis., follows in part:
 Tt occurs to me, that, as MT. Taft so eminently presents the League to Enforce Peace, anG as he has seen fit on numerous occasions to reply to my arguments and to criticise my posi- tion, that a meeting on the same plat form might serve to clear up cer- tain points of difference. These con alterations together, with what I un derstand to be the fact, namely; That Mr. Taft has been invited to speak in the near future at Kansas City and other points in Missouri, lead me to suggest that arrangements be made for point discussion. My friends will be pleased to share the expense.

 The Knocks Elm -Quicks had plenty of speed, but were lacking in con- trol They could put the ball every where from the spectators gallery to the scoreboard, they were unable to stop up the hole in the basket with it. Otherwise their work was rough enough to suit the most fastidious Irishman.
