Frisco fans bear this out, and the
following prediction frequently was

rare i'm these days of biff-bang'

Willie was far more popular with

sales into the big time. both with
the more or less Understandable
notion of getting some slice Of the
pie that their sales brought TO the

lineup for a day or so. and it was
known in the sport-writing fratern-

Willie was dickering to get some
added dough. He got it, returned
TO the lineup. and not word was
passed from the stands in criticism.
II was perhaps the natural differ

IS working, or who appears to be,
and toward one who sometimes ap-

Belief Expressed.

The Chlckasha gas field should
get its eighteenth well this after
noon, in the Atlantic well, northwest

Reports this morning were that
the well would be ready to bail this
afternoon late. 1t is just east and
location south of the LeMaster

southwest Of section 24-5n-Sw and
is expected to be a big one.
1t was believed today that the
American Drilling company would
have to set new string of casing
before the well could be completed.
1t is in the southwest quarter OF
section 23-5n-Sw. Water had broken
in, the report said, and efforts, up
to this morning, to shut the water
off had been futile. 1t was believed
that ripped casing was causing
the trouble, in which case new
cementing job was considered to be
necessary.
The report reaching Chickasha
yesterday that the Ohio Fuel Oil
