What, asked customer recently
"has caused the sharp advance in the
price in gaSoline?" And our answer
was substantially as follows:
The advances in the selling price of
gasoline which have occurred since
January lst, were due primarily to the
incre aSed cost of crude oil. The
market on all grades of crude took an
upward trend during the latter part OF
1919, and has been climbing steadily
since that time.
During 1919 gasoline prices remained
stationary, the refiners absorbing the
increased cost ofcrude as long as it was
possible to do so. In January, 1920,
gasoline prices generally were ad-
vanced to meet the increasing cost
OF raw material.
Another factor was the practical ex-
hauStion of gasoline reserves brought
about by the unprecedented demands
for this fuel. During the first months
of this year the consumption of gsSo-
line greatly exceeded production.
But the primary reason was the con-
otantly increasing price of crude oil.
Still other reasons for the mounting
prices are the greatly increased cost Of
labor, of steel, and of other items used
In manufacture; also the constantly
advancing cost of marketing and dis
tribution. Everything that goes into
the refining of petroleum is very
expensive today.
But the primary and controlling
reason is found In the increasing cost
of crude.
Ia keeping with its well.known policy,
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
has been able to maintain low prices
for gasoline in the face of advancing
prices for crude oil because of its large
scale operation and refining, and its
complete and economical system of
distribution. And, also, because Of
It's advanced facilities for obtaining q
maximum quantity of gasoline from
q given quantity of crude.
The Middle West depends largely
upon gasoline power for producing
food stuffs.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
is straining every fibre of its highly
specialized organization to meet this
demand.

II. F. WHITNEY, u. S.G.A.
rs GOLF DELEGATE on
OIL YlNPIC COMMITTEE
Committee A,Uats Report OF annual Golf Meeting h.
Wires Evidently Crossed Whitney A,Vuits Further
Olympic Committee Instructions
by SANDY McNIBLICK

HOWARD f. WHITNEY, vice pres
i l. ident of the United States Golf As
sociation. has been elected to the Amer
ican Olympic committee.
This interesting news that the golfers
of the country will actually be repre-
sented on the committee leaked out in
advertently at the annual U. s. G. A.
meeting. Since it was announced that
there would be golf at the Olympics
there rave been many queries from local
golfers on the subject, particularly from
those who had a chance of being on the
American team.
1t was felt that all the various angles
of the Olympic golf program--the team
to be sent. the finances and so forth
would be thoroughly aired at the Z. s.
G. A. meeting and everything discussed.
so that the executive committee could
make report to the Olympic commit
tee.
But not so. The Olympics were not
even mentioned at the meeting.
When it was all over and the dele
gates were engaged with the collation.
afterward Mr.. Whitney admitted that
he had been selected for the Olympic
committee to represent the Z. S. G. A,
but was waiting for that committee
meeting before making any suggestions.
Wires Crossed
The wires seemed to have been cross
ed somehow, as Samuel j. Dallas, pres
ident of the A. A. U., said today that
the Olympic committee had asked Mr..
Whitney to bring the matter before the
U. S. G. A. and report accordingly.
The matter was not brought up. as be-
fore stated, and just what the result
will be remains to be seen.
The only reference to foreign invasion
was the announcement by Mr.. Whitney
that the date of the open event would be
arranged so that American players could
enter the British events and the British
could play over here.
Walter Hagen, open champion, will
invade, and Miss Alexa Stirling, woman
champion, MS well as Bobby Jones,
finalist in the amateur, it is said. This

bets, was McAlccr's pitching choice
against Licbhardt in the first game
Of the double header. and Clevcland's s
pcnnant hopes were dashed against the
powerful delivery of this sturdy right
handler.
Even to this day. when Bill umpircs
a game in Cleveland, he is as popular
as the former kaiser, were he to stroll
down Piccadilly. Cleveland never will
forget that Bill is the man who pitched
the city out OF pennant.
Dineen held the Cleveland sluggcrs to
four hits, singles by Bradley, Hinchman
and Bemis, and a double by George
Stovall. The great Lajoie was up four
times in Cleveand's most important
game without getting single hit.

CLEVEL AND KEPT FROM
FLAG BY BILL DLNEEN
Back in 1908, When Ump Vas
a Pitcher, He Ruined Forest
City Pennant Hopes

Cleveland never has known what it
means to hold baseball championship.
Until the 1919 season Ohio was base
balls most conspicuous iinX state. Some
uncHnny power seemed to camp on the
cgattails of the teams from Cincinnati
and Cleveland by which the great Buck
eye state was kept pcrpotuaily in the
baseball background.
After years of torment the Cincin-
matt Reds kicked their jinX into the
Ohio river last season and won base
balls greatest honor, but Cleveland, as
usual. is talking of next year.
It is the tragedy of Laio' $ twenty
one year career in the M -orS that nc
has played on some of haseball's great
est aggrcgations, yet &c never was on
championship team.
The bittcrcst blow TO Iajoir's. as well
as to Clevpland's baseball history. was
the loss of the championship of 1905.
The 1908 race was the closest and most
exciting in American League history.
Al four Of the western clunS were run
ming neck and neck on Labor Day,
when the st. Louis Browns started to
slip, leaving it up TO the other three
clubs. Cleveland. Chicago and Detroit.
The race then tightcned up to such a
degree that on Sunday, October /, two
DAYS before the end of the season. it
was auybody's race. But Cleveland
had one advantage. IF the Maps could
win three straight from the Browns they
would win the pennsnt, regardless of
anything that happened in the closing
Chicago Detroit series in Chicago.
The series started in St. Louis on
Sunday. October 4 and the first game

of the business transacted. The dcls.

down the chairs. The business to h.
done was in printed form on said chair,
when the delegates filed in, and this wa,
the only business done.

intimation of the clubs which had b;d

all three for the amateur, one for tbs
open and one for the womens.
Not Too Close
There was virtually no argument 10
the Engineers Club as the scene Of
the next amateur, until after the meet
ing.
1t was pointed out that the club is
fifty minutes out from New York on
the Long Island Railroad, which runs
one train something like Q a. IN. and
another around IL a. m., according To
our informant, who claims to have
sorry experience with the trains during
the professional championship.
Trains coming back leave at 4 y. m.
twas said, which is lovely and all thai
sort of thing.
1t is hoped the Long Island Railroad
will take n brace. and the troubles Of
