OIL COMPANY TO BE
REPRESENTED HERE

The Bunk Mack Oil company of
Wichita Falls, Tex, through its spe-
cial representative, A. d. Stevens, will
open a temporary office at 211 West
Central avenue, where the people of
Albuquerque and vicinity may drop
in and learn of the methods of pro-
ducing oil and paying dividends from
men who are old in experience in
the oil business. They operate on n
sane and safe basis, eliminating every
possibility of wild-catting and only
operate in proven fields, even pre-.

drilled in the townsite of Burkbur-
nett, where drilling has never failed
to bring in big producers

NEW MEXICO SOLDIERS
QUICK TO LEARN FRENCH

New MeXicans of Spanish descent
learned French rapidly in France
and army Officers recognizing their
linguistic abilities made large num-
Der of them interpreters. A. M. Ber-
gere of Santa Fe, former knights of
Columbus secretary in France, told
the Albuquerque council last night
at st. Mary's hall, The similarity
between Spanish and French enabled
them to become fluent speakers in
remarkably short time.
The Fortieth division,' including
New Mexico national guardsmen,
was stationed not far from the
knights of Columbus hut of which
Mr.. Bergere had charge, and he Wis
tied the New Mexicans frequently,
taking them chocolates and tobacco.
His son, Lieut.. Luna Bergere, was in
the Fortieth. He mentioned others
whom he had met, including Lieut..
Frank Newkirk at Amiens.
BY singular coincidence Lieutenant
Newkirk was in Albuquerque last
night, but did not meet Mr.. Bergere.
He was hurrying to Artesia to visit
his family. He had only a short
leave of absence

AS FIRST ONE GOES
S0SERIES RESULTS

CINCINNATI, Oct. 5.-Probably It
never occurred to the layman fan but
it's gospel that "as the hrst game
goes. 80 the worlds series results. /"
At least that has been the sum and
substance OF balloons blue ribbon
events OF the past. You can run
through the figures from the start Of
modern worlds series and you'll hnd
this to be the rule rather than the ex-
ception.
In 1905 the New York Giants won
the first game from the Philadelphia
Athletics and the series. In 1906 the
Chicago White SOX won the open
ing game and the series from the
Chicago Cubs. In 1907 the Cubs and
Detroit Tigers played a tie game In
the curtain raiser. but the Cubs wen
the first decision game and the honors.
The Cubs repeated az the expense Of
the Tigers IN 1905. while IN 1909 the
Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Tigers.
In 1910 IL was the Athletics turn 20
humble the Cubs in the iiFst game and
series. In 1912 the Boston Red SoN
beat the Giants. In 1913 the Athletics
beat the Giants, while In 1914 the
Boston Braves beat the Mackmen, all
three iu the first game and the series.
In 1918 II was the Red SOX turn TO
make this rule stand up against the
Brooklyn Dodgers, in 1917 the White
SOX made good against the Giants and
last season the Red SOX turned the
trick against the Cubs.
OF course, there are exceptions 70
all rules and Pittsburgh in 1903 won
the first game from the Red SOX. but
lost the series. In 1911 the Giants
beat the Athletics in the first miX-up.
but lost the series, while in 1915 the
Phillies beat the Red SoX in the hrst
game but lost the big prize.
Thus IN twelve out OF fifteen mod
ern worlds series. the team that won
the first game copped the greatest
honors In baseball.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Oakland city,
Ind, and New Britain. Conn. are %

sons jumped into prominence as Gin
cinnatrs heroes OF yesterdays world
series battle.
Oakland City is the home OF Eddie
Roush, who followed up his first days

another crop OF super-playB at the
experience or the White Sox and
clouted In the first run Of he,game.
New Britain 60 the home OF Lar
ruping Larry Kopf, the turn-around
hitter, who plays short for the Reds
and who clinched yesterdays game
with q triple that scored two runs.
He did some fancy fielding also. His
work On the middle Of q double play
that stopped the Chicago bid for q
rally In the ninth was especially
sweet
These two players divided the spot
light OF yesterday's triumph. And TO
add 70 their glory they have the
honor OF both having been turned
down a. n. g. BY American League
clubs. They were not good enough
20 play Ga that circuit, but they, with
the aid Of their teammates, were good
enough 70 down the johnson leagues
best team.
Roush has put In two wonderful
days in the field IN the big series. He
is one Of the rovingest centerfield-
ers that ever Poved. And whisper Il
gently, it was the White SOX that
pronounced him too slow for fast
company when he was IN the clutches
OF the American League. He's one
chicken that has come home TO rOOst
even u he doesn't do another thing in

HALF minute FOR
THIS RING TITLE

"Eddie" Egan, light heavyweight
champion OF the A. z. F., now at Yale,
looks back with mirth at his expert
ence in the interallisd boxing finals
In the space OF q few days he was to
have met three men: Eegri, the Ital-
ian; the Belgian champion and
Thomas, the Frenchman, in the order
named.
Wading into Negri ina Dempseyian
fashion, Egan foored the Italian on
his second blow, and the referee
could have counted a hundred before
the fighter recovered. The knockout
came after thirty seconds OF lighting
and just naturally ruined the morale
OF the Belgian, who was second on
the list He forfeited having watch
ed the disposal Of Negri Thomas,
who would probably have given Egan
q good scrap. was forced to default
because Of a broken bone in his hand.
So Egan won the title in half a min
ute, and he has to smile as he thinks
OF travelling 5000 miles for thirty
seconds lighting.
Disciplined by a course In boxing
he acquired the fine alertness OF GER
tain coordination. He was a marvel
for speed. An amateur middlewelght
champion Of the Rocky Mountain
States was his earliest laurel won
when he was sixteen years old. Later
he added to this record the national
amateur heavyweight title by whip
ping a New York policeman at a BOs-
ton tournament-and he was not yet
twenty-five.
The American declaration OF war
found him engaged in physical work
in Denver as a member OF the Y, M. c.

came an Al soldier.

National Leaguers say that Eller Is
Inclined 20 be erratfc. But he cannot
be any worse than Bill James. On
the other hand. he may turn loose and

team its third straight victory. In ad-

Pat Moran can shove Reuther IN

may be available, though a cold day
will hardly find him pitching. Moran
has too many younger twirlers eager
to show their class to risk putting in
the veteran except under the best ctr
cumstances.
Now Gleason faces his puzzling
