CINCINNATI DEFEATS
CHICAGO 10 To 5 AND
WINS CHAMPIONSHIP

Today's game was won by the Gin
cinnati Nationals at Chicago by the
decisive score of 10 to 8. This gave
Cincinnati games to Chicago's 3,
and the worlds championship. This
series upset the dope" put out by the
experts and many thousands of dol
lars changed hands as Chicago was
the favorte of nearly every baseball
fan in the country. Ii also upset the
dope that the American League is too
fast for the National although the
worlds series in the past would make
it appear that they were. The win,
ming of the series by Cincinnati will
have n good effect in baseballdom.
Wednesdays Game at Cincinnati
Redland Field, Cincinnati, Oct. s.
Chicago took the seventh game Of the
worlds series Of 1919 here today by
a score OF to /. The first two runs
scored by the American leaguers were
the result of clean hitting, while
the second two resulted from two er-
rors by the Reds intermingled with
two hits.
Cicotte pitched his first winner"
in the series after dropping two to
the National leaguers. The Cincin-
natl club fielded wretchedly, although
with Cicotte's pitching it cannot be
said this cost them the game. The
Sox hit Sallee hard but could do little
with the offerings of Fisher and Luque
The Reds caused some excitement
in their half of the ninth by getting
two clean hits after two men were
out but at this juncture Cicotte tight
ened up and after getting three balls
and two strikes on Rath, forced him
to fly out to Felsch, thus ending the
game.
The series Wednesday stood four
for the Reds and three for the White
Sox.

of the play would be to spoil half the

liable new information is available.
None Of the rigs now at work de-
pend on financing through sale Of
stock. These interests have there
fore little concern in attracting the
attention of the public to what they
are doing. Publicity is Of no ad-
vantage in any way. But what these
interests are doing Is of most in
terest to New Mexico, not so much
from speculative point of view as
from point of advancing develop
ment of this latent resource.
II may be worth bearing in mind
that il takes money to investigate
probable new field. New Mexico is
fortunate in having already num-
Der of strong companies at work or
getting ready to drill. At least a
dozen wells are being sunk in various
parts of the state by this class of
companies. More are getting ready TO

WELL FINANCED OIL
COMPANIES In n. VI. FIELD

No big oil well will be brought in
except by accident in New Mexico for
some time to come. This may be
very disappointing to those who be-
lleyed that commercial oil could be
developed with rush when the oil
exploration fever struck the state
nearly year ago.
Should a gusher he brought in by
accident in any location where drill
ing is now in progress, the oil could
not he taken care Of. In no place has
any preparation been made for such
a contingency. 1t is well known that
tank cars are not plentiful and the
oil could not be taken care of by the
railroad In fact no dependable com
pany low drilling or getting ready
to drill is, endeavoring to bring IN
"gusher."
What the companies now ut work
really are doing is to test out prom
ising structures located by their ge-
oligists. The biologists can locate
structures that are favorable and also
determine that they carry oil, but he
can not say if the oil is present in
commercial quantities. That must be
determined by the drill. While this
test drilling is in progress, no arrange
ments are likely to be made for hand
ling possible product. Arrangements
for this can be made after production
il assured.
Deep drilling is never very speedy
but during Investigations of some
prospect, il is likely that drilling will
not he rushed. The formation as the
drill goes down has to be studied
carefully and compared with the data
of the geologits. Really the drilling
is for information. Whenever com
mercial oil is struck, the characte.
of the whole thing changes from ex
ploration to drilling for production.
The progress of oil exploration IL
New Mexico is most encouraging a
the present time. More actual in
vestigation is going forward by geo
logists, investors, and drillers thar
ut any time heretofore. Reports tha
come direct from drilling outfits in
dicate that they are fnoing encour
aging formation. But very little re

l6 ARMY FLYERS OFF
AT SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, Calf, Oct. Six
teen regular army flyers are to "hop
off" here, beginning at & o'clock to-
morrow morning, on transconti-
mental race. They expect to land at
Mineola field, \. Y, seventy-two hours
later.
The race will be on when Lieut.. j.
p. Reichter of Rockwell field, San
Diego, takes the Jump" in his de Hav-
iland. Then will follow a galaxy Of
dc Havland "blue birds" Sopwith
experimental, and, according to the
plans announced tonight, two cap
tured German Fokkers found by the
Americans in the St. Mihiel drive.
The de HaviandS will predominate
in the race, but there is two spunky
Sopwths entered. Army interests
seemed to center about the expected
performance of the Fokkers, which
were built for seventy-iive hours com.
bat service and whose engines of 1870
horse power each drive through the
air AT giddy speed. The Fokkers
carry little or nothing in the way of
requirements, so if Lieutenant Reich
ter and Cadet J. A. Cardiff, both of
Rockwell Field, are STALLED on the
way, in Cardiif's own words they will
he "up against it," The Teuton ma
chimes still bear the original markings
and the German black cross. They
were brought direct to America from
st. Mihiel.
There will be twenty control sta
tions, identical with the ones to he
used by the flyers from Mineola field,
who will start Il like flight tomorrow.

Well is still hanging fire. II is re-
ported that this well will he put down
by the Union Petroleum Company of
California; probably in Township IA.
Range 81, and that the contract will
be signed at an early date.

ready to ship in as soon a. the spur
is completed.
N Guadalupe county the A. c. Frost
Company Of Chicago has contracted to
drill about six miles down the Pecos
from Santa Rosa, the location being
about one mile east of the river. 1t is
said cash forfeit has been placed
in the Santa Rosa Bank that the well
will spud in before December 20. They
have about 10000 acres under lease.
Across the line in Texas, the Boise

the Benedum-T ees location, is drill

MONTANA MINE OUTPUT
60 PER CENT NORMAL

Helena, Mont, May .26.-In sew
eral phases, there are startling con-
trasts in labor conditions and in the
cost OF living, in Montana today,
compared with the era preceding
this country's entrance into the
great war.
While no authentic figures for the
pay so days are available, it was
stated in March, by committee Of
the state assembly which investigat-
ed the cost of necessities in the state
that prices had risen, on an average,
about 80 per cent, in thi state, since
the world struggle began.
The mining industry is the only
basic industry in the state running
on a sub-normal basis. The latest
figures available for the Anaconda
Copper Mining company, the largest
employer in Butte, and in the state,
is for March. 1t shows a production
of about so per cent normal It is a
rule that the production OF other
Butte mines will, on an average,
hold on level with that of Anacon-
da. 1t is hoped the mines, not later
than July. will return to a normal
basis.
