FACE STARTER IN
KENTUCKY CLASSIC
(By Associated PreSsl

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May S.-With 22
thoroughbreds three year old horses
entered for the 10th renewal of the
Kentucky derby at Churchill Downs
this afternoon, it was the unanimous
opinion of turf followers today that
the $4,000 added money classic would
be the greatest and most open race
ever run.
The best the east the west and the
south could offer will face the barrier
all prepared by master hands for the
gruelling mile and a quarter struggle
which it is predicted will be witnessed
by more than $4,000 persons.
Should more than 10 horses go tc
the post. it will be a record for the
derby. The previous largest field was
in 1916 when Regret was recorded the
only fllly ever to win the coveted
classic. Ethel Gray by Hessian-Swee
Marjoriam. and Cleopatra. a chestnu
filly belonging to w. r. Coe, are the
only FLIES among the entries for to

Spiceland Has An Easy
Time With Paramount 9

The Spiceland baseball nine had an
easy time winning a 16 to l game
from the Paramount aggregation at
Reid Field Friday afternoon. The
game was a walkaway from the start
and Spiceland could probably have
amassed a larger score had the oc-
casion warranted. Chew, Spiceland
backstop, led his team in stick work.

five trips TO the plate. Errors gave
Paramount its only tally in the first
inning.
The game was played in conjunc.

posed the Paramount tennis squad
while Besure and King made up the

Oh. would that we could be called a
ham and egg fighter these days-with
ham and eggs what they are.
The wonderful pitching exhibition
of Joe Oeschger and Leon Galore at
Boston recently sort of knocks gal
ley west the claim that pitchers are
mot ready" so early in the season.
While it is true this has been late
spring and all that, Galore and
Oeschger could stand the gaff-and it
was some gaff-for twenty-six in
nings, so why can't the others stand
muster for nine innings every fourth
or fifth day.
That sure was some twirling feat
they put on when you consider the
time and place, May 1 and cold and
chilly Boston
The raw meat of defeat the Tigers
have been eating may make them
dangerous before the seasons over.
Well, that s125,o0o investment of
the Yanks looks better than it did the
first week or so of the campaign.
The minor leagues. the feeding
grounds for the big leagues, are going
full blast again. All of which means
more TO the game than the average
fan-or big league mogul-realizes.
Umpire Bill Byron had a field day
at Los Angeles recently, when he put
five men out of the Vernon-Sacramen
to game, there being four Tigers and
one Sac to arouse his ire. Byron, &C
cording to all accounts, is rapidly ap
proa ching that stage of popularity
with everybody that caused him to be
dropped from the National league
staff.
7 Big league fans regret the sudden
death of Joe Leonard, utility infielde1
of the Washington club. Joe was
practically a youngster in the big
show. The Indians signed him five
or six years ago and in 1916 turned
him over to the Mats in a deal. He
played first, second and third fol-

GAS FLOW AT BELL WELL
Is GROWING STRONGER

| Especial Correspondence TO The JOurnaI)
PeCos, Texas, April 1.-THE
number of drilling wells in the vi
entity of the Bell anticline has in
creased to six and the number Of
locations under contract or with
the rig moving on has increased to
thirty-seven during the past few
days,
This activity has been in part
stimulated by the showing of the
Bell Discovery well on the pump,
where it has lived up to the early
predictions of its owners. Activity
has also resulted from the arrival
of numerous rigs by railroad.
Timbers are now on the ground
for the Bell No. 2. This we'll is To-
Gated three hundred feet south OF
the discovery and the owners plan
to case off the oil sand struck by
the No. at 657 feet.
The DiXieland syndicate has sold
car of its crude oil to f. w.
johnson, of PeCos, who plans to
operate the engines on his irrigated
farm west of Pecos with it. By
use of the topping plant, the Bell
interests believe they will be able
to strike the fifty-four and two
tenths per cent of gasoline, which
chemical analysis shows to be in
the oil and leave two grades of lu-
birants that will find a market in
the local field.
A new pump has been ordered for
the Bell well. The stroke of the
pump now in use has had to be
shortened due to the gas pressure
that has interferred with the opera
ton of the sucker for despite the
valve. The well is now pumping
eight hours a day with a slightly
curtailed production due to the
shortened stroke, but it is now
making about thirty barrels an
hour and flowing about as strong
at the end of the pumping period.
The crude is now pumped to Ira
bell, a new station on the Santa
Fe, through a two inch pipe that
had formerly been used to supply
