of New Jersey, today confirmed re-
ports from Mexico City that confer
ence between heads of important oil
companies in this country and MeAi-
can officials would be held in an effort
to settle the petroleum questions ami
cably.
Mr.. Teagle issued the following
statement:
THE government officials of Mexico
have indicated a willingness to con-
fer with representatives. of the oil
companies with view of discussing
and, if possible, adjusting the differ
ences growing out of recent tax de-
crees and the oil companies have APP

&c. Teagle. president. Standard Oil Co.
(New Jersey: z. l.. Doheny. president,
Mexican Petroleum Co; j. w. Van
Dyke. president. Atlantic Refining Co.;
H. F. Sinclair, chairman Sinclair Con-
solidated Oil Corporations; Amos l..
Beatty. president, the Texas Com
pany."
Washington. Aug. 22-American
to Mexico City to confer with Next
can government officials on the pc
troleum question have been inform
ed by the State department that the
American government would be
gratified If the question of the re-
Gently imposed tax on oil could be
settled amicably by the two parties
to the controversy.
The attitude of the de partment Is
understood to have been set forth
several days ago to representatives
Of some of the American oil COM
panies who communicated to the de-
partment a decision to confer direct
ly with Mexican officials with view
to reduction in the recently imposed
petroleum export tax. Other Amer
lean companies operating properties
/ in Mexico have not adhered to the
decision to conduct direct negotia-
, TONS it was learned, suggesting that
such a matter be left to the state
department.
Protest against the increased tax
was placed before Secretary Hughes
in the form of a brief several weeks
ago and at about the same time the
suggestion was made by the depart
ment that treaty of commerce and
amity be concluded between the two
nations 1t is understood that ze-
cause of the negotiations for the
proposed treaty that no representa-
tions have been made to Mexico
with respect to the tax.
The protest made by oil men as
serted that the tax not only was
illegal but was tantamount to con-
fiscation.

MOBILE CLUB FIELDS WlERDLY AND
LOCALS RUN BASES UNTIL TIRED
Kent Hts-Ryan Runs in Utility Men and
Piles Up Nine Hits for Eight Runs.

If the Creamdales are the best semi
pro team which Mobile can produce
and we doubt it-then Mobile is sorely
in need of baseball talent. The visiting
club fielded as weirdly yesterday as
they did on Friday, and allowed run af-
ter run to count which wouldn't have
counted had they fielded as well as the
Jelly Beans or Seveille Square boys.
Baker, who started in the box for the
Creamdales, retired at the end of the
seventh, although only three runs had
come in through any fault of his.
Feeney, left handler, relieved him and
got away hitless for the next inning
Harry Scarritt was in the game two
innings, one in left and the other in
right field, being relievd because of a
bad leg. Wentworth was sent in to bat
for Harry in the third inning. Scarritt
was at bat but once, and on that ap-
pearance made a beautiful double to
center. He scored from third when
Sanchez laid down a perfect bunt for
the squeeze play, and was safe at first
when the ball was handled slowly.
In the field, Pensacola played ex-
cellent ball. Each had only two chances
but both of them were hard and well
played. Sanchez, at second, had the
best day of any of the locals. His six
put outs and two assists were well
handled. Lars also beat out two infield
hits, thereby boosting his batting aver
age.
John Showers displayed his usual
fielding ability when he came in after
Phillips fly and doubled passenger at
second in the second inning. Long John
also poked out a double in the seventh,
scoring Ellis. The hit was clean drive
past third base.
The Creamda1es started nicely. After
Yost had grounded to the box, Diamond
doubled to left and went to third on
Jackson's infield out. Therrill then
singled clearly past the keystone sack
Diamond counting. Feeney flied to left
and that was the end Of Mobiles scor-
ing for the day.
The same teams will play today. The
game is called at $3.50 o'clock, and it is
expected that good crowd will be out
to watch the boys perform.

CREA NDALES AGAIN LOSE TO RYAN,
TIGER CATCHER IS MIND READER
Has Urcanny Ability to Out
guess Batters and Runners
By DEAN SNYDER.

Johnny Bassler rookie catcher Of Ty
Cobb's Tigers, uses mental telepathy
in his baseball.
His uncanny ability to outguess bat
tiers and base-runners and cross them
up has stamped him as a genuine
California jewel.
Already he Is being mentioned In
the same class with Ray Schalk of the
dams and Ralph Perkins of the Ath-
letics.
And that is the most select class OF
catchers in the majors today.
While Georges Carpenter was cred
tied with the hypnotic eye to win
him knockouts Bassler uses his inher-
ent cunning to assist in piling up
strikeouts.
Nips Base Runners.
In a recent game against the White
Sox the Tiger rookie cut down four OF
Kid Gleason's runners on the paths.
Three Of these were the result of
Bassler outguessing Chicago on the
hit-and-run play.
The hit-and-run play Is always the
thorn In the catcher's path.
When properly executed this play
is figured to be almost invincible.
It is the catcher's job to- prevent It.
But in order to block it he must
sense that it is coming and cross the
batter.
This is just what Bassler has shown
he is able to cope with.
Cobb watched Bassler work on the
Los Angeles club in the Coast league
He sized Bassler up as a rare strate-
gist and picked him off.
His throw to the bases is called the
sling shot" peg. He throws from any
position where he happens to trap the
ball. .e...
Also Bassler knows how to handle
pitchers. All the Tiger hurlers want
to work with him because he not only
holds them but he helps them pick the
batters' weaknesses.
On top of this the Tiger backstop
can hit.
