rain HALTS BATTLE
FOR 3RD POSITION:
PHILLIPSDUE TODAY
Milan Declares Team Will
Deliver, if Pitchers
Hold Up.

PHILADELPHIA. June The
FIST all-day rain that Philadeiphia
has enjoyed for nearly two weeks
today ruined the opening fracas the
Griffs had with the climbing Macks
this afternoon and delayed for
twenty four hours at least the
titanic struggle the clubs are hav-
ing to hold third place In the Ameri-
can League ratings. This three
game series really means much to
the Milans and the Macks. Clyde
is anxious to take his charges on
the Western trek safely entrenched
in third place. and Mack feels the
same way about his surprising Ath-
letics. Two victories out of three
for either team will send that club
toward the Middle West on the heels
of the st. Louis Brownies.
The postponement today will be
played off as a twin bill on Satur-
day. Only one contest will be staged
tomorrow afternoon. which is to be
for the public schools health fund.
Half Of the receipts of the game are
to be turned over to this worthy
cause. Griffith and Mack consenting
to this generous act for sweet char
ity.
May Pitch Phillips Today.
Phillips will probably face the
Athletics tomorrow. He only worked
along a few frames against the
Red Sox Monday. and is due to face
the locals when the belated series
opens tomorrow Against Phillips

with four out of six games from
the Red Sox and the team hitting

have at last found their stride and
have bid good-by to second division
for the season.
IF the pitchers hold up. the rest
Of the team will deliver. feel
sure said Milan tonight. This
seems to be the prevailing spirit
among the players, and they all feel
sure the club has arrived" and Is
due to shove into the present scram-

having for first place.
The successor to George Mcbride.
however, Is not overly confident as
to this three-game series here The
Macks have caused all kinds of
trouble for the Senators this spring,
having the best of the series-five
out of nine-and are actually a hard
ball club to conquer this season.
DriseoII Joins Team.
But these nine games were played
when the Senators were not per-
forming to expected form. They
now see daylight" ahead. and there
is a confident feeling within the
team that they are going to climb
higher from now on.
Mike Driscoll. star slugger Of the
Catholic University baseball team.
Joined the camp of the Nationals
here today. Driscoll had been play
ing first base for C. u. but his nat
ural place is behind the bat. and 1t
Is as a catcher that he Is being
considered by the Griffmen. Dris-
coll has proved a heavy hitter for
the past three years with the
Brookland team. and has played
third base as well as the initial sack
and back of the bat. He has 4
particularly strong throwing arm.
II Driscoll measures up to expecta-
tions in his try-out he will be signed

BUILDING
I'm SUNBU RST
Than HERE, SAYS
DR.. Beaupre Visits Great Falls
After Trip Through
Vimy Ridge.

There is more building under way
in Sunburst at this time than there is
in the city of Great Falls, according to
DR.. Henry Beaupre of the Sunburst
Oil & Gas. who returned Tuesday from
a trip through the field.
OF the many buildings going up in
Sunburst. the most popular are the
eating places. he said. Quite evidently
the most important part of an oil man
in the field is his stomach. for every
other building in the new oil towns of
the northern fields. houses. eating
places and restaurants. Soft drink
parlors are the other principal estab-
lishments. he said. and reported that
the new town is insuring that these
places be kept orderly and within the
law.
In the field, DR.. Beaupre said. there
is no letting up of activity with drilling
operations being carried on with dis
patch.
On his return to Great Falls. DIR.
Beaupre came by way of Fort Benton
and Nimy Ridge. He said that the
pump system for water TO Vimy Ridge
from the Marias river is installed and
the pipe is laid out, although not yet
connected up. The derrick is up and
the rig completed with the exception
of some of the finishing work.

OIL SH0WINCS
IN DEEP TEST
AT 1903 FEET
Troy-Sweetgrass Finds Promise
of Big Production in
DevOnian Sands.

The Troy-Sweetgrass Oil & Gas
company is now apparently either
through the Madison lime or nearing
it's edge with a steadily softer forma-
ton and good oil showing. according
to reports received by Great Falls oil
men and verified through the Shelby
offices of the company.
The we'll is now showing quantities
of oil in assures of the black shale-like
lime through which it is drilling and
leads the members of the company to
believe that the oil is in sands below
and has been forced up by great pres
sure. Should this prove to be the
case, they feel that there is possibility
for big production in the lower fOrma-
ton.
Expect Production
According to the Shelby office of the
the we'll was down 1903 feet
Wednesday. The white lime Of the
Madison was found to be about 100
feet thick when the drill passed into
a blue lime with the heavy oil show
ings. Somewhere below this, the oil
sand is expected and the expectation
is that production will be reached
The Shelby offices of the company
reported that the showings in the pres
ent drilling were not regarded as of
commercial size.
Oil men of Great Falls viewed the
announcement with considerable elation
since the Troy-Sweetgrass company
and other oil men regard the well as
probable commercial production if
bridged back to the 1876 level where
the horizon of CampbelIs well was en-
countered.
May Be Significant
With the diamond drill carrying a
two-inch core and with a water pres
sure in drilling at this depth that forces
the oil back somewhat when ncoun
tered. they saw the showings as en-
couraging. The softness of the pres
ent drilling was demonstrated by the
fact that the drillers made IA feet in
two hours drilling Tuesday. The chief
loss of time is in the five hours needed
to pull the tools on each core.
The test of the Devonian formation
by the Troy-Sweetgrass will be the
first time this strata has been laid
open by oil men in the state, and pro-
duction here, if found. is interpreted
BY oil men TO be of tremendous sig
ni~ficance in operations throughout the
state with probable tests of the forma-
ton in other fields of the state to fol-
low. VI
