Local baseball teams that are affili-
ated with the Allied Athletic AssOCia

The managers have also agreed to n
snlarr limit and II is said by President
Jim Bonner that next year will see one
of the strongest baseball leagues in the

Home-Run Hitters
in Games Yesterday

Leonard's weight has been the cause
of lot of comment by local fans. They
believe that Benny cannot make the
lightweight limit, 1876 pounds at 2
o'clock. and be able to do himself JUS
tice In the ring. As far as can be learn
ed, no one other than his manager and
trainer, Billy Gibson and Nanny Sea-
mon, have seen Leonard on the scales.
They say that Benny was down to 137
pounds the dpy that he hurt his hand.
Still Leonards avoirdupois continues to
be matter of much doubt.
Weighs Publicly
On the other glove, Tender has never
been secretive with his weight. lie
never locked himself behind doors when
he stepped on the scales. For instance,
last Sunday, before Tenders rub
down, half dozen people, including
newspapermen, happened to be in his
dressing room when something about
weight was mentioned.
Just u second" said Tender, walk
ing into an adjoining room where set
Of scales were erected. He motioned
every one to follow, had his aide,
'Scoodles,' balance the machine and
stepped on the platform.
What does the Indicator show, about
'36'?' ked Tender, as the beam
stopped. Every one craned their necks
and each saw for himself that 135 n
pounds was the stopping point Of the
lever.

HOW D'YA GET THAT WAY?
Boston Wants No Aid to Beat PHIL
delphla llnksmen

Boston. Mass, Aug. 1O.-"IIow do
they get that way"
Such was the expression of opinion
by members Of Boston's municipal links
golf team when 1t read that Philadel-
lflia would be willing to play Boston
and allow the Hub city to use municipal
links players from other New England
cities to strengthen it's team. Boston
players feel that they can give Phila-
dclphia a beating with the team con-
fined to its own men, and would not
under any consideration seek strength
outside.
The Boston team is ready to listen to
n proposition for five man team
match. 1t is felt here that the match
should be played either in Philadelphia
or Boston. with each municipal links
club contributing one-half of the cx-
pcnSes of the team which does the trav-
cling.

LEW SAYS BENNY

Declares Tender
CHALLENGER AT THE SHORE
By LOUIS TT, JAFFF

"There ain't no Santa Claus,
mourned Lew Tender at Atlantic
City today. Benny I.eonard's near foe
for Friday night here is pceved. grouchy
and feels just plain terrible with him
self, the world at large-and mostly
with the champion.
Tender has broken training--he has
quit his palatial quarters at Delanco,
n. j., where he suffered the usual
strain of hard conditioning and now Is
with his family at the shore. Lew
hasn't given up the hope of meeting
Leonard. He says he Is going to keep
up the battle of getting Benny In the
riag so that he can win the lightweight
crown. The southpaw is confident that
he Is to be the next champion-and the
only thing separating him from the
throne is a tilt with the Gotham glove
man. he believes.
Something tells me Leonard doesn't
want to box me-" exclaimed Tender.
Yes, / have feeling that the champ
fears me and doesn't want to defend
his title against me. Not that l think
hurt his left hand on Monday. Nothing
like that at all.
BacIted Out
II have no doubt about the injury
suffered by Leonard" Lew continued.
II feel satisfied about that all right,
but no one can convince me that Benny
isn't tickled that the accident occurred
so that he would have an out why
couldn't he have gone on anyway
despite the injury? He was so sure that
he would have knocked me out. Had
been hurt you can bet l wouldn t
have called off the contest.
Benny just naturally crawlcd out of
the bout. He kept shouting from the
rooftops how he would tOpple me with
right hand punch. Then why the
postponement because of damaged
left?
Honestly Leonard haG no legiti-
mate grounds on which to call of that
bout He just naturally backed out
that's the whole thing in nutshell.
Tender further said that he had ne
idea what plans his manager. Phi!
Glassman, was making for future
matches. "It seems as II have lost all
interest in the world groancd Lew.
Glassnan was in New York last night
to find out whether it was possible ia
get an ex-ray of Lconard's left hand.
So were Promoters Hcrman Taylor and
Bob Gunnis. "Personally." said Glass
man last night, ~ think it's all the
bunk. And you can take II or leave. II
can get sufficient evidence to prove
that Benny's hand was not hurt bad
enough to postpone the match 7 will
come out with claim for the light

States can not continue long to de- pend on domestic petroleum produc- tion to supply completely the de- mand for petroleum products, and that sooner or later our oil shales will have to be used to help sup ply the deficit
 The oil shale industry can not hope to supplant the petroleum industry in a large way for many years, but will probably grow up from local industries la favorable places.
 Costs of oil shale operations can not be reliably estimated until com mercial practice in this country furnishes the necessary basic data
 The quantity, quality and value of products and by-products to be ob- tained from oil shale in this coun. try are not known with any de- gree of certainty.
 The oil shale industry is a large shale, lowgrade raw materials manu- featuring enterprise. requiring large capital, high technical and business ability, and probably making slow re- turn on the investment. Once eco. homie conditions become favorable for the development of the oil-shale industry and satisfactory mining, re- torting and refining processes worked out and markets established. there should be only ordinary business risk connected with the industry

CAN'T DEVELOP OIL INDUSTRY
 IN ONE NIGHT
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Recent investigations by the U. S. geologi- cal survey are held by it's experts
 Q indicate that in the rocky noun tain states there are enormous quantities of oil shales which can be made to yield hydrocarbon oils can hope to obtain from our oil wells"
 The shales are said to constitute a tremendous potential oil reserve. The oil shales of this country" says the report, contains enormous quantities of oil. but large amounts of money will have to be invested before the oil shale industry becomes of commercial importance. Esti- mates by various engineers of the cost of a complete retorting plant, handling 1000 tons daily, are be- tween S4.000,00O and s5,0O0 900.
 Tn this country the oil-shale in. dustry can not be developed over night and probably can not attain success until large sums of money have been spent in perfecting min ing, retorting and refining methods. A company to be successful, when ever oil-shale operations become commercially feasible, must be able to employ the best technical. busi- ness and engineering skill available, be prepared to operate on a large scale, and be financially strong enough to wait several years for any large return on the money invested" !" The report declares that it is unfortunate that large number of the many companies organized to deal with oil shale are devoting their efforts to stock selling rather than assisting in building a firm basis for the industry"
 A summary of the report follows:
 There are no commercial oil-shale plants operating in this country at the present time. although there is well established industry in Scot land
 Many American shale deposits are richer in recoverable oil than Scotch shales now being worked, and prob ably nearly equal in nitrogen con tent, which is a measure of recover able ammonia.
 Market conditions for shale pro ducts are less favorable in this country than in Scotland.
 Great quantities of American shales are of greater thickness and better suited for mining than Scotch shales.
 As yet no process for obtaining oil from oil shale has been used in ac- tual commercial practice in this country.
 Indications are that the United
