Which Made Baseball His
tory Scheduled May 8.
BY HUGH

Chicago's famous Cubs; the Cubs
who. under Frank Chance. made base
ball history for Chicago. are planning
the biggest reunion ever held by pro-
fesslonal ball payers.
The reunion is to be held on May s.
when the Peerless Leader returns to
Chicago leading the Boston Red Sox.
On that date all the feuds and fac.
lions which finally resulted in the dis
ruption of the team which had made
itself the most famous In Chicago's
history will be buried and the plan
is TO have every player who was with
the team in its championship days
from 1906 to 1911 present.
Charles Webb Murphy. who owned
the Cubs. is the leader in the o
ment. Murphy. out OF baseball and
wealthy, stm retains his iove for the
club which helped him make his for
battles that came late in its career,
wants TO LEAD the demonstration Of
welcome to Chance.
Old Secretary Favors Plan.
Charlie Williams, then secretary Of
the Cubs; Artie Holman. the greatest
utility" man the game ever has
known; Jimmy slagle. the great little
outfielder; Carl Lundgren. who was
one of Chances mainstays md now
coaches the University of Illinois,
have started the arrangements. Tho
reporters who during those years
travelled and lived with Chances team
have been asked TO take charge OF
nrarrangements for the banquet
which is TO be rendered Chance in the
evening.
Letters viii be sent out to every
member Of the team. inviting them to
he present. Mordecai Brown, when
tod OF h plan. declared he would
attend and. IL necessary. make a
speech.

The only member OF the team who
has died was Harry Steinfeldt, and
tho others, although widely scattered
arc prosnerous. The team. which was

now seems forgotte Tinker md

gether for two years during "hcn

To acknowledge a peer, fond and meaningless keystone

there is scant distinction in equality. Those who know no

Oil OOZING OUT
Test Near San Angelo May BE
Slot.

San Angelo, Tex, Jan. 13.-The
oozing of oil over the casing in Flesher
& Duty's No. =. c. Coleman well in
Mitchell county when plugging back
from $3.50 to $500 feet began, pre-
paratory to two shots, and prepare
tons by the Texas Oil & Land COM
pany to explore potash showing in
Reagan county with a diamond core
drill headlined oil Developments the
first week in the new year in this
section of the West Texas field.
1t is planned to shoot the DIR. Cole
man well in two oil bearing sandy lines,
the first from 2T74 to 27SG and the
second from 2450 to $3.50 feet. The
well was completed in hard lime.
Government reports indicate that
potash found in the TexOn Oil & Land
company's test for oil eleven miles
west of Big Lake on University land
has considerable potential commercial
value and Frank 7. Pickrell of FL PasO,
vice-prcsident and treasurer, who is
on the ground, is bent on finding out
soon just what the deposit is worth.
The potash was drilled through from
11J0 to 1858 feet, the salt beds struck
at 100 feet being GOO feet thick. The
company's present well is down 2J4C

vein of coal was penetrated from 24S>
to 2403 feet. The diamond core drill

OPERATORS BELIEVE
A PROSPEROUS YEAR
IN STORE FOR THEM
Decided Strength in Market
for Lighter Grades of
Crude Oil.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 13.-The new
year is making splendid start to-
wards a prosperous period for the pro-
ducers of oil in the United States.
There is a decided strength in the mar
ket for the lighter crudcs-those with
heavy gasoline content. The market
for Gulf Coast heavy crudes especial
ly adapted TO the making Of lubes-is
not weak by any means and the better
grades can command a premium any
day in the week. There is better
prospect this week for market for the
off grades of Gulf Coast crudes, valu-
able for fuel oil.
The biggest development of the last
week is t decline of gas pressure in
the heavy oil field at Smackover in
Arkansas For time the SmackOver
field promised TO threaten the crude
market of the United States with Its
tremendous production. The daily
production did reach the high figure
of 100000 barrels n day, but the oil
was turned into earthen storage and
the producer did not reap much benefit
Early this week, between 20 and 30
wells in the heavy oil district at Smack
over had quit flowing. The gas head
was off and they stopped. Two or
three wells were bailed down and pro-
ductiOn was restored for a time, but the
flow showed q great decline. Now It
begins to appear that the producers
there will have to put these wells on
the beam. That means that Smackovtr
has reached its peak and is on the
down grade. Just one thing can save
the field, and that would be the deeper
sands. Just what they will develop
will be known when the drill tells the
story.
The light oil district at Smackoyer
looks rather bad also. Wells which
were expected to be good producers
made little oil and some gas. Many
of the wells began spraying oil with
some gas right where it was thought
the wells would be big producers. Early
this week the production for the field
was down to around $4,000 barrels a
day. All of this has happened to Ar
kansas new field before the pipe lines
could reach the field with sufficient ca
pacity to care for the production.
In Oklahoma the kghter crude oils
are commanding premiums Ringing from
80 to 40 cents a barrel. In Kansas
the prevailing premium is 10 cents a
barrel. Gulf Coast crude premiums
RAJ re from II TO 20 cents a barrel
And the lighter crudcs in Louisiana can
be sold Mt premium when the pro-
Queer will talk to the Independent re-
! finer.
There has been little change in the
refined market the past week. The. big
muldle in Europe has not helped things
by any means. Many Of the countries
want refined oils badly but they have
no money to pay with. If France gets
real busy, she may have to come into
the market for lot of gasoline and
| motor fuels. But refiners in the
| United States are not interested in for
eign orders unless they are shown where
the money is coming from to pay, Tor
the cargo. Its money on the nall III
most instances, or no sale.

Houston and Navarro street, which
building was formerly occupied by
Goggan Brothers. A new variety store
will be opened in the building in the
near future. The city was authorized
to construct the swimming pool at San
Pedro Park at a cost of $2S,5OO.
Bishop A. J. DrosSaerts took out a
permit to build a fireproof addition
to the San Fernando Cathedral on Mill
tary Plaza which will cost $4,000.
These permits were issued on Monday
and during that day building opera
tons totalled $9S,305.
A total of twcnty-four dwellings
were included in the building permit
list issued Tuesday and the days per-
nit values totalled $4,000. The
twcnty-four dwellings authorized will
cost $69.200 setting a new record for
home building permits issued in one
day. Ten permits were issued to III,
c. Thorman, home builder, for the
construction of dwellings, in Highland
Park on Drexel and Peck avenues.
Their total cost is $4,000. They will
be five-rOom dwellings.
Although the represented value Of
warranty deeds Coing into the public
records last week was exceeded by
values of the two prior weeks the nun,
Der of deals made showed a slight in.
crease. There was a total of forty
seven warranty deeds filed for record
Friday representing property worth
SCI ,12G. This number of deals set a
record for the year and is the largest
filed since October of 1922.
