outlaw league in Idaho.
Lefty Cummings. from Amherst

Brooklyn and Detroit in the big show,

Charlie Dresser, who made nofsc
like a hrstsacker in Detroit three
years aga, is playing a humdinger of

Buzz Murphy. the outfielder who
performed for while with the Griffs
last season. has jumped the Mime
apolis Millers. Murphy is not in good
health, but was expected to finish the
season With Cantollon.
Though the natives of France didn't
pick up baseball rapidly, more than
half the players in the Louisiana
state League carry old French names
and chatter to each other IN the
Creole dialect on the field.
The first thing Lee Fohl noticed
when he Joined the st. Louis Browns
was that Burkes' players were not
running bases properly. Now Fohl is
conducting a daily school in getting
leads on opposing pitchers.
Chick Gandil recently announced
his retirement from the Idaho outlaw

rumors are coming East that Gandil
was constantly lighting with the play

WIMBLEDON. England. July l.
Today's challenge round for the Eng
land English tennis championship,
Justly called the worlds tennis sin
giles championship. is the fortieth re-
newal OF the historic event. Gerald
Patterson, the brilliant Australian
winner last year, is defending his title
against William T. Tilden, the youth
ful American. who has fought his way
up through 12S players for a crack
at the champion.
Seven attempts in all have been
made by America to take the title.
But once before in 1913, when Maurice
Mclaughlin won the all-comer's
event, has an American won the right
to challenge. In this historic match
the fiery American fell victim TO the
prowess OF the late Anthony +. Wild
ing.
In doubles II appears as though
Tilden and Johnston Will have
chance to compete for the champion
ship. The present champions are H.
". Thomas and O'Hara Wood, who
may not defend their title.
In doubles the same story holds
true. France with Decugis and Go
bert won in 1911. but in all other
tournaments British players have
superiority.
II is in today's singles champion
ship that the tennis world is cen
tered. Tilden has played well within
himself throughout the weeks bat
thing. He has disposed OF Parke, Gar
land and Shimidzu, the Jap. in i'm
pressive style.

terson. At the fag end OF the tennis

advantage in starting in any one OF
them.
From now on the value OF a strong
pitching staff becomes more and more
important down to the worlds series
itself in which the pitching is the
principal thing. Last season the Chi
cago White Sox won with practically
three pitchers, Cicotte, Williams and
Kerr. This year they have Faber to
aid this trio. This explains why the
White Sox are feared greatly. for
the team is the smoothest- playing
organization in the league, bar none.
The Cleveland Indians have been

ers, Coveleskie, Bagbie and Caldwell.

When a man is properly anchored
he will find wealth Of happiness
whether he achieves great riches or
not. But Charles 3. Goddard of the
Humble Oil and Refining Company
has found both happiness and wealth.
If you ever find Charley when he
has time to talk and he becomes the
least bit reminiscent he does not talk
of the million he has made or some
fine home he has planned but he will
tell you of tent down in the Bat
son field in the Texas coast country
where he and his wife made their
first home. He was down in those
fields at work and went back to his
former home in Ohio and married
at Batson while Charley was back
On his wedding trip and his company
wired him 10 come. The fled was
new, not a house was built and this
Sx10 tent was put up and the young
couple moved in and set up house
put the young wife to but she stood
II and never complained and they
I've been full partners from that day
to this. That tent was not so equip
ped that it would keep out the mos
quitoss and they grow as big as June
bugs and as numerous as the the
sands of the sea down in that coun-
try. And besides the country is low
and when the rains came the tent was
flooded and sometimes the water
backed up in the tent even with the
bed
Mr.. Goddard did his first work in
the oil fields in Ohio when he was
II and came to Texas before he reach
ed his majority. He did any kind OF
oil field work and with the money he
saved purchassd some small tracts in
the Humble field. Owners OF these
small tracts met to pool their hold
ings so they would not have so much
drilling TO do and out of the merg-
ing OF these tracs grew the organi-
zation of the Humble Oh and Refining
Company. Mr.. Goddard had charge
of the production in that field for the
company. He is now superintendent
of the Oklahoma Division and a men,
ber of the board of directors. He de-
votes his entire time TO his company
and was in the Oil City field In Car
ter county before Healdton was dis
covered. He built up a nice produc-
ton at Healdton and has done the
same thing at Hewitt. He Is ac-
ouainted with every phase of oil field
work. He builds good homes for his
men and gives them every conven-
ence possible. The Humble Company
has been under a wise and conser-
vative management, since its organi'
zatjon. 1t has made a meteoric
growth and the sock that Mr.. God
dard holds has provided him and his
family with a handsome fortune. What
he has done in these fields alone
would have built gigantic COM
pany.
He has never found time to hunt
or fish but he spends his spare time
In his home garden. He raises the
finest potatoes that are grown in the
county and he does the work himself.
He owns one home in the city and ne
has purchased site for the con-
struction of possibly the handsomes,
home in Ardmore and expects to build
during the coming year.

To the genius and enterprising spirit
Of d. J. Childs, Ardmore owes one Of
its principal industries, the Chicka-
saw Refining Company. Mr.. Childs
is a native of St. Louis. and in 1913
moved to Sapulpa, Okla. He built
an ice and cold storage plant in
Sapulpa and sold it out to Dallas
parties. He bought some production
near his home town and became in
terested in oil, and in 1917 came to
Ardmore for the purpose Of building
a refinery. He afterward sold out
his interests in that company to S.
A. Apple. He has purchased property
in Ardmore and has made this city
his home.
Since disposing of the refinery he
established the Southland Petroleum
Sales Company in Fort Worth. He
had some friends who desired to make
purchase OF refinery or to build
one. and after looking the north

out refinery at Dublin, Texas. which
he considered the best built and most
modernly equipped plant in that part
Of the state, and after negotiating
for a period of three months. finally
closed the deal.
Mr.. Childs was married nj 1915 in
the city of Sapulpa TO Miss Elizabeth
Watson. They have three children in
their home, two boys and girl.
f. r. McGhee, who built the Cam
eron refining plant in this city, and
started its successful operation, also
butt the Dublin plant and was its
manager up to the time the sale
was consummated. The purchaser Of
the Duoln plant was the Virginia
Company, Incorporated, and is COM
prised of Nashville, Tenn, parties.
Mr.. Chids is man who in his
young manhood equipped himself for
useful occupation. He was a builder
of ice ard cold storage plants, and
was successful in his work, but he
could not resist the lure of Oklahoma
oil, and he Is now in the game. He
proved his executive ability in this
city while he was vice president and
general manager Of the Chickasaw
Refining Company, and since he has
entered the ti okerage end of the
game ne has received many compli-
mentary letters from New York
people who axe delighted with the
class of WORK he has been able to do.
He is still & young man with all
his vitality, and power, and with
q nice fortune at his command, coup
led with his wide acquaintance and
high standing in the oil work there
are many greater achievements ahead
OF him. Ardmore is proud to have
him as citizen Of this city. He is
man who is capable Of bringing
to this portion OF the state many
valuable assets in the way Of indus
trial plants.
