RAY BRINGS WIFE
 TO EASTERN MEET
And Professional Charges Are Lodged Against Him for
 so Doing.

Chicago, Dec 5O.--The investigation of charges of professionalism against several noted middle west athletes, di- rected by the National A. A. U. officials, has disclosed that in at least one case, the alleged excessive expense accounts of amateur athletics included the cost of bringing an athletes wife along.
 The Central A. A. U., which was ord cred to search the records of Joie Ray, Jo and Frank Loomis, and others, for warded its report today, citing the case of Ray Ill particular.
 When invited to big eastern meet, Ray let it be known that he wished to take his wife, and that the maximum all lowance of $7 day permitted amateur athletes would be insufficient for both. The club promptly allowed additional ex- penses for Rays wife and from this in- cident chiefly, the charges arose.

RED" SMITH PLANS
 BASEBALL COMEBACK

Red" Smith, formerly of the Brooklyn Superbas and Boston Braves, one of the brightest prospects in all baseball before he broke an ankle early in 1920, is going to at tempt comeback with Milwaukee in 1922. His broken ankle was not set properly, and he seemed crippled for life but more capable surgeons took the case in hand with the result that he is again standing on both feet. Anyway, the Milwaukee club taking the doctors word for it, has signed Smith to a 1922 contract, and he will test himself out in the spring. He 300 batting eye has not been dimmed.

Col. Charles H. Ebbetts, president of the Brooklyn National League team, announces that the Robins would take their spring training for the 1922 campaign at Jacksonville, Fla.
 There will be 45 players in the par ty and two baseball parks will be used, the regulars working out on the South Jacksonville grounds occupied by the Yankees in 1919 and 1920, while the rockies will hold forth at Barr Field on the other side of the St. John's river. The latter park was used by the Superbas when Huggins' men trained at Jacksonville

NEWCOMER ON MACK'S TEAM MAY BE
 SECOND FRlSCH
A second Frisch?

Henry Scheer, of 14s4 Wilkins ave- nue. New York, who is expected to look the part on the baseball dia- mond, must resemble the Fordhan Flash in more than that he is an in- fielder and comes from the Bronx. He must have shown lot of "Frisch' in action to Connie Mack, who gave one look and paid $5,ooo for what he saw. The Athletics leader expects considerable in the ball playing line for that amount of money.
 And Scheer is only 2I years of age and has played ball professionally but one year. Within two months after he reported to Hartford, of the Eastern Association, which was this spring, the Detroit Tigers tried to fasten a string on him. Also the Tanks all most got him, although they don't know about this, neither does Scheer. Then along came Mack on the advice of his scouts.
 Gene McCann, former Cincinnati Reds scout and present manager of the Bridgeport club, said the other day that Scheer is sure to stick in the big show. McCann liked the Bronx boy so well the first day he played against Bridgeport he tried to buy him from Hartford. Tt would have been a fine bargain,' says Gene. q am sure I could have persuaded the Tanks to take the boy and I would have had his services for a year on what could have been made on his purchase price,
 But getting away from this sordid business stuff and back to Henry Scheer. He first attracted attention while playing with Public School ?, the Bronx, and as an amateur with the Fremont Triangles. His first big semi-pro engagements was with the Bronx Giants.
 Strange to say, Scheer is not 300 batter; hit only about .275 last year. Of course he is fast, though his base running record may not indicate ex- NNPtAO1dA SpSCu 11C uOCS, 11OWCVCl {, play ball with his head. Appar ent1y gray matter in professional ball player is something to make a fuss over.
 Anyway Connie Mack dropped into Hartford one day last summer osten- sibly to look over an outfe1der But he was watching a kid second-sacker, and this was one of the plays that made Connie sit up and take notice
 With man on first batter smashes a grass burner few feet to the right of the keystone sack. Scheer flashes over and somehow manages to dig up the ball for a marvel of a stop but is completely turned around by the drive, and off balance in such a posi- ton it is not possible to toss to sec ond or get the leather marble to first in time.
 But he does manage by a back hand stab to tag the baserunner behind him as he is cutting for second.

CUBS WOULD TRADE $
 BIG I'M VAUGHN

If big Jim Vaughn is reinstated by Judge Landis he will be traded by the Chicago Cubs, according to word from an official source in the Windy City. Vaughn was suspended by Johnny Evers before the Trojan gave up the reins of the Cub machine. The charge made against the big hur1er was that he refused to keep in con dition. The report brings to light the fact that Manager Evers tried to trade Vaughn before he left the Cubs, but that other National League magnates refused to deal for the hurler.

BOGASH-DELANEY
 BOUT IS LIKELY
Two Bridgeport Battlers May Meet in Park City Next
 February.

Bridgeport followers of the fstic art, who have been entertaining hopes of glirnpsing Lou Bogash and Jack Delaney, two of their own contributions to the ring game, battle it out in a melee, will be privileged to see this much sought after session.
 According to word from the Park City the match is almost as good as made Joe Smith, manager of Bogash, has already agreed to terms and signed up with Con- nie Lewis while Al Jennings, who guides the destinies of Delaney, is said to be ready to place his autograph over the dotted line thereby closing the bout.
 It was the plan of the Bridgeport pro- motors to stage the go some time in Jan uary, but this is out of the question be- cause Delaney has contracted for two or three fights between now and February 1. So all signs point to the bout being pulled off on February 13, according to agreements made this week
 Where the fight will be put on is still undetermined. The Bridgeport promoters predict a record gate and consequently are eager to secure a place where all hands can be accommodated. It IS ex- pected that another attempt will be made to secure the State Armory and if efforts are unsuccessful the Casino or Park theatre will be the spot where the two Bridgeporters will have it out. The mat ter of weight has not been taken up but it is expected that they will fight around 16O pounds. This bout will be looked upon by Bridgeport fans as the headliner of the season and one of the most im- portant ever held in the Park City.
 Jack Sharkey, the New York West Side bantamweight, and his manager, Joe Wagner, have parted company. No req son has been given by Wagner for Shar- keys wishes to break away. He said and he knows no reason why the boxer should have become dissatisfied with the manner in which his affairs were hand led. Wagner and Sharkey have worked together for six years. According to Wagner, Sharkey has pocketed $180,00O since he won over Jimmy Wilde, the Britisher.

Oil Market Quotations
UNDERLYING RATHER THAN
OvERPRODUCTION CAUSE OF
: SLUMP, SAYS w. l. MILBURN

That the slump in market conditions
of the petroleum industry has been
caused by underbuytng rather than
overproduction, is the opinion Of ". L.
Milburn OF Abilene, Texas, president
OF the Homaokla Oil Company.
The public Is on strike" stated Mr..
Milburn, and conditions such as are
affecting the oil market, are prevalent
in every other business in this coun-
try today. The principle Of action and
reaction is being demonstrated daily
ana has been during various periods
OF time. Prices are bound to come back
when the reaction which has occurred
since the high point was reached is
over. I do not believe the price will
come back 70 its former level until
about year, but It will come back.
Every business known, cotton.
wheat and rubber, in fact everything
active in the commercial world, has its
high points, its receding period and
then its high point back again. It IS
Ike the tide OF the ocean-it comes
high on shore, receies 10 q lower
level and then comes back again"
Referring 10 the condition Of the oil
market as affected by the Mexican
situation, Mr.. Milburn expressed the
opinion that the import OF the Mexican
crude into this country was one o. the
causes OF the slump but not the chief
cause.

NEW GOVERNOR OF
PORTO RICO WILL
FIND MUCH TO DO
WHEN ASSUMES DUTY

San Juan, P. R., Jnue 22.-When
E. Mont Rely, of Kansas City, ar
rives here to take up his official du-
ties probably in July, he will find an
interesting political situation brought
about by the fact that the legislature,
which was in session at the time Of
the announcement Of his appointment,
Immediately took recess without
passing the government budget for
the year which commences July /.
Neither did 1t pass tax bills which
were under consideration and which
are considered necessary to produce
revenue for the insular government.
The legislature is in control of the
Unionist party. Antonio R. Rarcelo,
president OF that party and of the
senate, has received a letter from
Governor Rely requesting that the
legislature complete its work as
quickly as possible and adjourn.
There is no indication that this re.
quest, the first of the new governor,
will be complied with.
Apparently the legislative recess
was taken with the idea that it
would afford Governor Rely an op-
portunity to come to Porto Rico and
participate in the framing of laws
which will be enforced during the
first two years Of his term Of office.
Although the budget for the next
two years has not been passed this
does not seem TO be particularly
worrying the legislature. If there is
no new budget at the end Of June
the budget now in force will be con-
tinued for another year. The present
budget calls for an annual expendi.
ture of approximately ss,OOo,ooO.
The income tax law which has been
in operation during the past two
years became imperative on July l.
unless q new income tax law is pass
ed, or the present law is re-enacteo
and there will be no income 9ta1
for the year 1920, unquestionably the
most prosperous year in the history
of the island.
The Unionist leaders are far more
concerned regarding the attitude Of
the new governor on appointments
in the departments than they are with
legislation. With the exception Of the
offices OF auditor and commissioner
of education, Unionists are at the
head of every insular government de-
partment. Before proceeding to carry
out a legislative program the Union
ists leaders want to know what treat
ment the party may expect in the

there at the time prevented the extern
sive use of the rotary tools for fear
that sands might be missed. Mr..
Sturm's operations there were very
successful.
In speaking Of the oil sands of In
dia, Mr. Sturm states that there is one
strata which declines on one side at
about 20 feet to the mile while on the
other side it dips 5000 feet to the
mile. The oil sands are found in per-
feet parallel stratas, and wells are
drilled to the upper sand, from which
they produce until the production de-
clines to great extent, and are then
deepened to the second sand, and so
on. The oil is of 40 gravity. Produc.
ton in India states Mr.. Sturn, is
held at about 20, 900 barrels, and wells
are brought in when the production
falls below in sufficient number to
keep it steady.
Mr.. Sturn is of the opinion that the
oil men Of Oklahoma and Texas should
not feel discouraged at the decline in
market quotation, and feels that oil
at 81 can be profitably produced. The
reason which he gives for his deduc-
tions is as follows: Two years ago,
with oil at SO per barrel, he states, a
40-acre tract Of land near production
cost the operator s120, 900 for the lease
and $4,000 as the cost of drilling one
we'll, making a total cost Of s200,o
for the operations, which required pro-
duction Of more than $4,000 barrels
before the lease and initial well would
be paid for. At the present time
states Mr.. Sturn, a lease on a likely
looking 40-acre tract may be had free
for an eighth interest and the cost Of
drilling the we'll is s250OO, which re-
quired production Of but $4,000 barrels
with oil at 81 to pay for the initial
investment
