OIL WELL TO BE DRILLED
IN RIGOLETTE SWAMP.

wednesday, OcC. 10, mas the FOL
lowing to say about the prepare
tons being made for drilling ar
oil well in the Rigolette swamp
| The derrick for the first vel
of the Anacoco Oil and Refining
Company Of Louisiana. has been
erected on the site where the
well is to be drilled. This well
will be drilled on the Barrett
tract of land in the Rigolette
swamp about six miles on an air
line from Pineville and ,Alexan-
dria.
A visit by the editor of Town
Talk to the place where prepara-
tions are being made to drill this
well, reveals the fact that an
honest and straightout effort is
going to be made to get oil or
gas or both. The derrick is Of
the standard size, l12 feet high
and "a by "a feet at the base.
The timber Of which it is ccr-
structed is of the best and the
derrick is double braced. The
machinery, which includes a
standard rig, is en- route, and
work Of drilling should CON-
menee 10 the next ten days.
The company is erecting twol
houses near the well, which will
be used for sleeping quarters
and dining quarters for the men
who are employed in the drilling. |
This also is an evidence that the |
attempt is not q puerile one. Mr.. |
B. T. Head. who is q director |
and a stockholder in the COM
pany, stated to-day that the der
rick and rig is of ample size and
to drill FIVE thousand feet,
and that the company will 90
iown four thousand feet in this
pot. if it is necessary to obtain
vi or gas, and that if this fails
several more tests of this field
will be made. The company is
veil satisfied that the site select
d is a good one. owing to the
'urface indications and the gas
mounds found in abundance
throughout the region. There
no comparison between theI
resent equipment Of the Ana
s.co Oil Company and that of
ny other concern that has at
to drill in this section. |
hey also have ample. capital
nth which to operate.
Mr.. H. Avery. the president of
he company, will personally
uperintend the drilling of the
rst test well. He was success
Vi in some of the best wells
rought in in the Edgerly field,
nd other oil fields.
The company has leased al
act of about fifteen thousand I
cres in the Rigolette section. /.

MATA ANNOUNCES
FIGHT TIME HAS
CHANGED TO P. M.
Afternoon Bouts Attract
Larger Group of Fans;
MOha-Flynn Lead

Announcement is made by Sam Mata,
matchmaker of the Mexicali Athletic
Club, changing the time of Sunday 5
bouts from 8, clock at night to 2
clock in the afternoon. The change
is made to allow greater number of
fight fans to take in the fight card,
many having other engagements Sun
day night which would prevent them
from seeing the boxers in action.
"Wop" Flynn, Los Angeles, and Kid
Moha, San Diego, will be the principals
in the main Is round go and from al
accounts this scrap should be hum
dinger as both men have trained faith,
fully for it and when they are right
there are no better scrappers in South
ern California. Flynn comes here from
Hollywood and Vernon where he has
built up good reputation and is out
to take the San Diego boy S scalp to
bring back to the coast with him. Moha
is anxious to be returned a winner in
this fight, having fought draw with
Georgia Lee on his last appearance in
the valley and wants to show the fans
he can beat the best talent the coast
can produce.
Kid Jackson has been training at the
Tulane Theater every day for his
fight with Jack White. These boys
will be seen in Il six round semi-final
that should furnish plenty of action

the weights announced before the fight
were not just exactly accurate. Demp-

was not as much as generally believed.

Yesterdays s victory of San Francisco
over Oakland and Vernon defeat by

will be a tie.
One more victory for San Francisco
or one more defeat for Vernon will
give the pennant to the Seals.

GIBBONS IS BEST
FOR ten ROUNDS
BUT FOUL CALLED
Miske Puts Up Poor Fight;
Fans Disapprove Act;
Toms Father Dead
United Press Leased Wire
BY JACKSON ". SCHOLZ

NEW YORK Oct. 15.-Billy Miske
today claims the official distinction of
being better man than Tom Gibbons,
but it doesn't mean anything. Their
bout, scheduled for l5-rounds, finish
ed in the tenth when Miske crumpled
to the mat and claimed foul, which,
after moment s hesitation, was sus'
tanned by Referee Billy Mcfarland.
The blow that ended things wac
seen by few, a circumstance which
naturally gave rise to lot of audible
dsapproval from the crowd in Madison
Square Garden. Gibbons seemed, as
much surprised as anyone at the sud
den ending and wandered around in a
daze util he was officially disquali-
fled.
Although Gibbons conceded II pounds
to Miske together with marked ad-
vantage in reach, he made the latter
look like a husky lumberjack engaged
in the pastime of picking mosquitoes out
of the air. Gibbons uncorked shifty,
vicious attack in the first few rounds
every punch he started, while Miske,
trying desperately to locate his op-
ponent, wasted tons of energy i'll wild
swinging that would have floored an
OK.
A dramatic incident of the kind that
goes TO make fiction was introduced
when telegram was brought for Glib
bons before the bout started His
manager, Eddie Kane, refused to show
it to him. The contents, however,
were perhaps known to Gibbons, who,
after battering Miske for 10 rounds
and finally losing the decision on a
foul, snatehed the telegram from Kano
and found that his worst fears were
realized. His father, who had been
i'll for some. time, was dead.

Finding the making of the weight too
severe, Lew Tender, the Philadelphia
southpaw has decided to- leave the
lightweight class and set out after the
title of Jack Britton, the wcltcrweight
champion.
He is going to make his debut as an
official welterweight late this month
against Dave Shade in a bout scheduled
for Milwaukee. H., sIrcly has picked
out about the toughest opponent possi-
BILE to make his debut and if he whips
Shade he ought to have great chance
to beat .Britton.
Tender is shrewd business man. lie
knows that Benny Leonard will have

believes that Britton is about ready
to lose to someone and he wants to be
that one.
