ELIMINATE petroleum
- from the world and modern
industry would come to dead
stop.
Lacking that tiny film of min
eral oil, continuously applied,
and the machinery Of the world
would groan to a stand-still.
From air compressors to textile
spindles, from sewing machines
to power house engines, all the
machinery of modern life, the
machinery which clothes and
feeds, and transports mankind,
is dependent upon petroleum.
Animal fats and vegetable oils
sufficed for fabrication in the
era which preceded the indus
trial age, but only petroleum
could supply lubricants in suffi-
Gent quantities to keep pace
with the development of mod
ern machinery.
In the development of our modern sys-
tenn of lubricating machinery, the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
performed an essential service in produc-
ing vast number of highest grade lubri-
eating oils and greases from petroleum.
Another vital service of the Company
is the maintenance of distribution
system which delivers its lubricants
wherever, and whenever, the need occurs
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
manufactures lubricating oils and greases
varying in type and consistency to meet
the requirements of the innumerable ma
chimes which our commercial age requires.
Only highly specialized and intensively
developed organization could give to the
people of the Middle West the service
rendered by the Standard Oil Company
Ondiana).
The customer who buys a pound of
grease, a quart of oil, or gallon of gas
oline, is getting the result of the best
effort Of %, 900 loyal. efficient, highly
trained men and women who make up

Gap" Wells Gives His Views.
w. D. Cap Wells, manager of the
Santa Fe baseball club of Topeka
seems to feel that Topeka would not
stand the expense of professional
pasenalI team. Wells argues that the
santa F'e team has satisfied the local
1ans, and further points out that he
mas some men on his nine who have
been IN pretty fast company, viz: the
western League. Three l., and the
Coast League. Wells doubts the sin
cerity of Harper Rigby, who has been
attempting to promote a club in To-
peka for membership in the South
western League. According to the
Santa F'e manager. Rigby called him
up and made him a proposition to the
ERECT that percentage of the pro-
ceeds should go to the Santa Fe boys,
as well as a cash payment. if they
gave up the lease. Wells didn't like
the idea and teld Rfgby that if the
Santa Fe club was to give up the lease.
they wanted an immediate settlement.
Wells asked for a cash price offer, ac-
cording to his statement, and was told
by Rigby that he would have to think
1t over and C ompile a few figures.
Wells further says that he has never
talked with Rigby about the matter
except over the phone. Since the
phone call. Wells has heard nothing
4 III tHer dtout the pfOpOSltlOfl, ne says
II Topeka is 70 have a professional
baseball club fair and good, but will
the town support the team? The
Santa Fe boys had good crowds at
their games last summer. and if the
umpires could have satisfied the crowd
and the players, they would have had
better crowds. There seems to be 81
doubt in the minds of Topeka business
men, as to how long a pro team in
Topeka, could last. Never sporting
town, Topeka did herself proud last
summer by even supporting semi
pro outfit. The subject would bear
lot of thought and discussion before
the entrance into the Southwestern
league is applied for.

head coach and athletic director at

cIared by the United States. Pixley was

PURDUE EXPECTS
REAL BATTLE

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. n.-Ward
Iambert's Boilermakers and Pete
Vaughan's Little Giants will tangle be
fore a record crowd that will be expect
ing a basket ball battle de luxe here to-
night.
Both Vaughan and Lambert are direct
ing strong teams this year. In fact. their
clubs have been the sensation of Hoosier
basket ball to date, and the work of pick
ing tonight's winner is simply matter
Wabash has it's Goldsberry and Pur-
due has its White so there you are for
starlights. Both these men are demons
at basket shooting, but their play is al
together different. White VIII shoot his
baskets from any angle of the floor, from
the distance or from short range. On
the other hand. Goldsberry likes to take
the close shots, which means that he Is
going to have to hustle tonight, because
White and Miller are en- the books as
two Of the best guards In the Western
Conference.
Otherwise, there is little difference to
notice between the two teams and the
dope leaves the fans with nothing to DO
but stick around and wait for the fun.
Wabash is coming here with a small
army of rooters from Charlottesville and
sideline business should be rushing.

Fred Mitchell Back as
Manager of Club He Once
Aided as Battery Coach

Fred Mitchell was battery coach of the
Boston Braves when he left the team
three years ago to become manager OF
the Chicago Cubs. Now he is returning
to the Hub as pilot OF the Braves.
And his return raises an interesting
discussion as to just how important
part he played in the Braves sensational
climb in 1914. You'll recall that the
club was in last place in mid-season and
then climbed to first place and copped
the bunting. George stallings.- manager
then. was called the Miracle Man. be-
cause OF the clubs squirt, but Mitchell
was given various portions of credit.
Mitchell led the Cubs to the National
League pennant in 1915 but lost the
worlds series to the Red Sox.
Mitchell was born in Alton, Mass His
real name was Yapp, but Fred decided
early that q moniker like that wouldn't
do in baseball He broke into baseball
as a pitcher in Concord, N. II. Later he
played with Lawrence, which club sold
him to Boston. He pitched for the Red
Sox, Phillies and Toronto before quitting
the mound In 1908 He turned catcher
then and became such a star for Toronto
that the Yanks bought him. He later
caught for Rochester and Buffalo. Then
Stallings signed him In 1913.

a little consistency would have sent
the Marmon shooters W for plenty Of
honor IN the Manufacturers Leagus.
Pauley, Walton, Haislup and Andrews
each had a whOpper count, but they
mixed em up so that a 938 was the
best they could get. 1t was high.
Pauley got Dos and 215 counts and An
drews was right up there near him with
224 count and other good ones.
Patterson Of the National Autos didn't
miss the double hundred average by a
great distance last night. The Robbins
failed to shine for their National match.
The Woody Machines should donate
their victory over the Zenites to some
worthy cause. seeing as how they won
IL on counts that wouldn't get by In u
league of fair ones.
The Kingans knocked the naples n
terrible belt after they had lost two TO
the Bemis Bags.
The National Refining gave the Lang
senkamps three good scores to shoot at.
Good for the Lahgsenkamps.
Walton and Anacker pounded out the
big scores for the Prest o Lites In their
win over the Midwest Engines.
The Courthouse Ward Heelers gave the
Crooks q good lacing, but the Politicians
had TO dangle n mean foot to grab two
from the Grafters.
Huse put the Politicians over with
good third game score.
Peterson Of the Ward Heelers was
the best shooter in the league.

NEW YORK, Jan. lift you want
my opinion" remarked Leo Flynn, man
ager of Bill Brennan, Jack Dempsey Is
the hardest-hitting heavyweight the ring
ever knew and the greatest lighter l ever
saw.
when Dempsey goes out against some
of the other heavyweights you'll see
what O great champion he is and then
perhaps for the first time you'll all give
Bill Brennan the credit he deserves. /
think Carpenter will be soft for Demp-
sey, and If he ever fights Harry wills
I'll have a goOd-slzed bet on him to win
That's pretty good, isn't it, coming
from the manager of the man he knocked
out 2"
Flynn couldn't have said anything more
fatterng about the worlds heavyweight
champion, but he did add that in his
opinion Dempsey Is not going back.
Taking it by and large Flynn might
have been expected to say just what
he did, for the better Dempsey looks
the better Brennan looks, everything con-
sidered. But Flynn was sincere. He be-
i!eves in Brennan with all his heart and
Dempsey, therefore, made a believer out
Of him.
STILL TALKING
OF CONDITION.
The question Of Dempsey's condition,
which has been the subject of much dis
cussion since the Brennan fight, is still
being argued pro and con, but it will
not be solved to the satisfaction of the
looking public till the champion comes
out and shows himself against Willard
and Carpenter
1t has been stated that 1t was good
business for Dempsey to knock Brennan
out In twelve rounds instead Of finishing
him earlier. Whether or not Dempsey let
Brennan stay that long purposely we do
not know. Manager Jack Kearns ad-
mitted after the fight that the length
Of the bout was good in some respects
for Dempsey, but he added that Jack
was too finely conditioned.
We have known Dempsey since Ions
before he became champion, and II he
was In real condition the night he fought
Brennan then our judgment OF what
condition should be has been wrong al
