major league manager is looking for pitchers. A majority Of the big league leaders are satisfied with the rest of their team but not one Is will ling to stand pat on his pitching.
 Billy Evans, umpire, is inclined to think that the conditions under which modern pitchers arc compelled to work has greatly minimized their ef- feotiveness, rather than loss of ability.
 Go back half dozen or more years and the records will prove that ths pitcher ruled supreme. Pitchers battles were the rule rather than the exception, as is now the case. Not satisfied with the margin they held, the pitchers began to experiment with freak or illegal deliveries in order to further increase their effective ness. These freak deliveries which placed the batsman at a decided dis advantage were the undoing of the pitchers, and created the condition that now exists in baseball, the su- premacy of the batsman.
 
 in an effort 10 cut down the ball eX- pense of the American league bought out some interesting facts in connec- tion with major league pitching.
 The expense for basebals used dur ing the course of an entire season back 20 years was about s5,oOO for the entire American league. Accord ing to President Johnson, the expense in 1922 for the American league was around s35,0o0. Some increase. In about August. of 1923 it became cvi- dent to President Johnson that the expense for 1923 would rival that of 1922. He decided on an immediate curtailment in the use of baseballs. and sent out a bulletin to has umpires that far more care should be used in tossing balls out of play.
 While President Johnsons move was made purely from business standpoint, the throwing out Of fewer balls had decided change in tho pitching. During the last two months Of the season it was far more effec- tive.
 
 For several years the pitcher has ben compelled to pitch a new ban utmost constantly. In tho old days it was not unusual for an umpire 10 fin- ish major league game with from six 10 eight balls. For several years from two 10 four dozen haNc been used in every big league game. Dur ing the last two months of the 1893 season American league umpires kept every ball into play until it became absolutely unfit. As a result, tho grade Of pitching immediately showed improvement. Sot compelled Co use a new ball almost entirely, such ball being difficult 10 grip. thereby cutting down the break on the ball. the pitchers at once pcrked up and held their own. The old ball helped restore confidence.

ever, some wells have virtually drill

Some of the incentives which are
leading up to the testing of the deep

lows:

somewhere in some quantity or other.

records of one semi-deep test in the
Kevin-Sunburst field that there is

formations, that there is fair

(6) Belief that the structure of |

emulation of oil in commercial
quantities.
