Willard Leaves
For Home; Solons
Uphold Rickarel

TOLEDO, July Jess Willard, de-
throned heavyweight champion of the
world, tonight is on his way to his
Lawrence (Kan.) home and permanent
refinement from the ring.
Willard, accompanied by his wife and
two personal friends, began the long
motor trip late this afternoon. The
defeated champion is making the
Journey in car he purchased here
during his training period for his con-
test with Jack Dempsey. The swelling
over Wizards left eye had entirely dis
appeared and the only MARKS he bore
were a slight discoloration over the
eye and a cut lip.
The task Of checking up the gate re-
celpts and attendance of the indie
pendence Day battle proved so stipend
Gus that Promoter Rickard announced
tonight that the official accounting
would not be completed until to-mor-
row. Rickard, however, estimated that
the receipts would not exceed $5O0,0OO.
Allegations made by William G. Ro-
cap, a sporting writer Of Philadelphia,
that there was collusion between Rick
ard and Willard in promoting the
championship match were investigated
to-day by the Toledo Boxing Commis-
sion, under whose license the contest
was staged. The commission gave
Rlckard vote OF confidence and in
vited Recap to present any evidence he
may have.
The commission, of which Mayor
Schneider and c. II. Wall, Director Of
Public Safety, are members, adopted a
resolution declaring that it had been
unable to find any evidence of collu-
sion; that the contest was conducted
squarely and honorably, and that Ro-
cap be notified to present all proofs, ii
he has any, to the commission within a
week or forever hold his peace

Hagen and Brady to Play
in Local Me e t at
North Shore This Week

One Of the biggest entry lists ever
received for the metropolitan open
championship tournament was given
out last night by A. H. Pogson, secre-
tary of the Metropolitan Golf Associa-
ton. The meeting, which will be held
over the North Shore Country Club
links Thursday and Friday Of this
week, is the first since 1916, when Wal
ter Hagen, of Oakland Hills, won after
play-off of tie involving Charlie
Hoffner, of Philmont, and Jim Barnes,
of Sunset Hills.
Hagen, who captured the national
open championship a few weeks ago,
will defend his title. He is scheduled
to play with Gardiner W. White, the
Nassau amateur, at 1910. while five
minutes before that Hoffner and Mike
Brady, of Oakley. will drive off. Brady,
it will be recalled, tied with Hagen at
Brae Burn recently.

Chasseur's terrific pace. Natural

Kelsey was decidedly lucky to win
the mile and sixteenth, the fifth race,
with George w. Lofts John l. Day.
Sunny Hill, 30-to-1 shot, threatened to
spreadedgle the field, but weakened
in the last sixteenth. John /. Day
never could have got up in time if
Quentin Preece had sat still on the
early pacemaker, but he reached for
his whip twenty-five yards from home
and the movement unsettled Sunny Hill
just enough to let the favorite bob his
nose in front bysscant inches.
Kelsey made it two in row by land

with the favorite, Gladiator. This
one was pounds better than Furlough,
the only other one of even ordinary

III was Olt OF hardship Tor those
who backed Ting-a-Ling, the second
choice, for the place to lose then
wagers. Ting-s-Ling interfered with
nothing in the race but the winner; the
others were all beaten off by FIVE or
six lengths. But rules are rules, and
one happens to apply to the case IN
point.
Not murmur was heard from those
affected by the disqualification, as the
offence was perpetrated in the eyes of
those IN the stands and clubhouse.
A Two-Horse Race
This race Of six and a half furlongs
was between Housemaid and Ting-a-
Ling all the way. Housemaid, which
had position far beyond Ting Ling,
was forced to run outside all the way
round the turn. The pair were hooked
up in rs pretty a duel as one could
we'll imagine at the final eighth pole.
Lotus, at this stage, was busy with
the whip and his mount began to bear
out. forcing Housemaid over and in
terferlng at almost every stride.
Housemaid finished right under the
Judges noses up against the fence.
The finish was so close that none
bers We're hung up; indeed, many
thought Lotus got the verdict by
nose. 1t made little difference, how
ever, as a disqualification for Ting-a-
Ling was the only fair ruling under
the circumstances.
Not wishing to alibi or excuse
rough riding, even on the part of our
premier, it must be stated that Johnny
was able to furnish an explanation.
Ting-a-Ling, which before had shown
propensities to run out, had been
rugged with a burr bit so that Lotus
could hold his mount straight and true
The burr, it is said, was lost going to
the post.

lie had the leg up on Harwood II,
which by the way finished on three
legs but managed to last just long
enough to nose out Goaler.
Harwood was able to win because of
q "oust" at the barrier, which resulted
in a flying start. Harwood killed OF
King John in the early running; Tapa-
guer, the favorite, never was a corr

Had Dayies been less resentful to-

GREAT DRILLING ACTIVITY
IN STEPHENS COUNTY WITH
THOROUGH TEST BEING MADE

Duncan, Okla, Sept 17.-There is
scarcely township of thirty.six square
miles in stephens county that is not
| producing oil or gas or undergoing tests
for those products of the earth. No
county in Oklahoma lying west of the
| original fields of Creek, Pawnee, Tulsa
and Usage counties is experiencing so
much activity.
There may be other counties of Ok.
lahoma that have as many surface lines
Of apparent mineral content, but none
in this part of the state has had so many
favorable showings or produced so many
wells.
The dry hole section of Stephens coun.
~ lies west and southwest of Duncan
1t was explored in an era of high en-.
thusiasm subsequent to the discovery of
a productive oil sand by the Magnolia
Petroleum Company, and in an inten.
slVe campaign to discover a connection
between that region and the oil and
gas field of Cotton county that lies
Immediately to the west.
a reason why dry holes in that region
COnll-
dence among some small operators was
that many holes We're drilled with rotary
rigs and finished without a change of
tools. Oil men assert that thereby many
a good well has been lost. Other tests
in that region naturally missed the pro.
ducing sand.
Whatever may be the outcome, the
fact remains that the region looks geo.
logically promising, that it contains srv.
eral good oil wells and that drilling pro.
ceedS unobstructed over good many
square miles of country. What appears
to be an important arm of this pool
has been followed in a southeasterly
direction to COmanche, where some good
shallow producers of both oil and gas
have been found. Beyond Comanche
and into jefferson county the line of ex.
plOration runs.
Some recent geological Investigations
have established a theory that there Is
more or less of a structure crossing
stephens county that connects the
Healdton and Walters fields and that
evidences Of this connecting line are
found northeast, north and northwest
Of Duncan. Tests of this structure now
are under way in the vicinity of Cruce
and locations have been made west of
that field
The first natural gas we'll found in
southern oklahoma came from wells in
the vicinity of Loco, an inland village
situated is miles southeast of Duncan.
So important were the first wells drill
ed there that the Lone Star Gas Com
pany Of Texas which drilled some Of
the wells and had acquired much of the
acreage, laid a pipe line to the field
from Texas and for several years Loco
gas has been piped out of the state.
In the vicinity of Loco is one of the
largest deposits Of asphalt found in
Oklahoma. \ wildcatter drilling there
several years before oil and gas were
discovered, one day found his tools
soaking in a pool Of liquid asphalt. A
plant for treating the product was es.
tablished there and it would have done
a profitable business but for the handi
cap Of being so far from a railroad.

1t is probably not making more than
90 barrels per day, average.
All the figures in the estimate of the
fields production are below the top rec.
ords that have been made by the va.
rious wells. The Kechi, shortly after
it was brought in, made record flow
Of 600 barrels in "a hours, putting that
amount in tankage. The Caddo No.

Hawkeye did better than 100 barrels
in Il day on several different occasions
and, in its initial state, the Gala Belle
flowed at the rate of several hundred

In addition to the oil producers, the
field has several good gas wells. The

Gorton No. ?, Wade farm, has from
100000 600 to 12,OOO,OOO feet of gas and
the Betty G, Lackey farm, had flow of
around 100000 feet Of gas. The VIII
well is also making several million feet
of gas OF the millions of feet being
produced in the field, not a majority
per cent is being utilized. Apparently,
it is the policy Of the operators to mud
off the gas flows where possible and
deepen the wells for oil.
The east side of the field is complete.
ly tied up as to production. Every
barrel and tank is full and the produc.
ers are doing everything possible to
get relief.
On the Cyril side, many of the wells
have their tanks full and the small per.

is full and the well is flowing into the
