Self Conceded Putt
Bad Idea of
Courtesy

The question, "When is
putt" has been brought up
more than once, and, Of course,
produced all sorts Of replies
and opinions. Glen Towns.
the Soundview golfer, remarks
In part, as follows:
"When is a putt not a putt?
The answer is when it is self
conceded. And there never
was a self-conceded putt that
couldn't have been missed. or q
conceded putt for that matter.
1t is easy to understand why
a player will concede himself
q twelve-irch putt. He knows
there is always a chance Of
missing it. But it is hard to
understand why his opponent
let's him get away with it. In
most cases it is probably q mis-
taken idea Of courtesy or gen.
erosity."

Promise Land Awaits
Babe Ruth After
He Slips

There used to be a time when
major league players got un-
limited gifts for making home
runs. There have been so many
home runs for the past season
or two that the generosity Of
business houses has necessarily
been curtailed. Down in Nash
vile, however, the home run is
duly rewarded. lie Bouveau, q
Nashville outfielder, made
home run and a couple Of two
baggers the other day.
His gifts included a $40
laundry order, five hats, a
dozen pairs of socks, two shirts,
three suits of under clothes,
a pair Of shoes, a gold pencil,
a knife, and all barber work
free until the end of the sea-
son. There's the place for
Babe Ruth to 60 when his
major league days are over.

SITUATION
EXPLAINED
ASGO0D
President of New Jersey
Standard Says Supply and
Demand Will Meet Soon.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Basing
his estimate on the Government fig
ures of January, Walter c. Teagle,
president of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, said that it
was likely the supply and demand
for Oil would meet at the end of this
month or early in April instead of
the latter part of May or. June, as
was indicated by the Governments
figures of last fall.
Mr.. Teagle explained the reversal
in figures reported by the Govern
ment on the ground that a consid-
cradle portion of the country's daily
production, which made the new
high records last fall, came from
flush pools, and that when the large
wells began to show a decline this
was naturally reflected in the fig
ures. In his statement, made at the
request Of Dow, Jones & Co, Mr..
Teagle said:
put into storage an average of
ventories, crude, refined and semi
statistics show a surplus of all
barrels daily.
when estimates were made last
fall that production and consump-
ton would balance about next May
or June, they seemed logical when
the excess then existing is consid
cred. Now the Governments fig
ures for January show all but / u
per cent of last November's 374,-
000-barrel daily excess has been
eliminated, due to larger demand
and declining crude production,
mainly the latter.
''In 1923 the excess of all oil,
crude and refined, averaged $4,000
barrels daily and we added an ag-
gregate of 114,000,O00 barrels to
storage. But in December last this
excess had receded to $4,000 bar
rels daily, while in January this
year it was just over 5000 barrels
a day.
Last years consumption and ex-
ports averaged 1892 400 barrels a
day. This was a gain of 22.59 per
cent over 1922. Consumption in
January, 1928, was 1,847,0 900 barrels
daily, which was below the years
average because of seasonal condi-
tions. Now the Government figures
show January, 1924, consumption of
100000 barrels a day, 10 per cent
better than January, 1923, and con-
siderably above the daily average
for all of 1923.
"These figures show the trend Of
demand and, possibly, may cause
apprehension on the part Of the
public for future gasoline supply.
There need be no alarm over gas
oline supply. The industry, in my
opinion, was never in better posi-
ton to meet expanding gasoline de-
mands.
