crowd since 1915.
Great Mound Battle
Buck Schemanske and George
Dumont hooked up in a pitching
struggle and the Miller twirler had
the edge. The Indians got five hits
and the locals seven. Fisher of the
Kelleyites hit home run and Rehg
of the Indians did likewise.
1t was a tough one to lose for the

Furthermore the few breaks in the
game favored Minneapolis. Brilliant
Acatches by Smith and Fisher saved

scoring.
1t was one Of the greatest games
staged in the history Of the park
and closed in wild excitement. Allen
opened the ninth with a double and
Rehg was called out on strikes.
There was a terrific wrangling
match between Rehg and Umpire
McGrew over the called third strike.

walked him. Schreiber stepped to

The crowd was on its feet. Center
fielder Smith dashed in with all the
power of his legs. speared Schreib

his balance and threw to PARENT for
a double play on Allen. It was a re-
markable catch, but a heartbreaker

George Fisher made a shoestring

thereby cut off at least one ribe
run.

Just in a slump" Babe Ruth said
Saturday when he received visitors
at St. Vincent's hospital where he
is recovering from an operation.
They're not hitting. They'll
come out of it all right" Miller
Higgins, manager of the club, said
today.
Old Punch Lacking
without the big Babe to lead the
attack the Yankees have been in a
terrible hitting slump and they seem
unable to get out of it. The batting
order has been switched around
several times. but Higgins seems
unable TO find the old punch The
pitching, too, has not been up to ex-
pectations.
Babe Ruth may be out of the
game for another month. 1t is
quite apparent now that it will be
several weeks before he will be able
to leave his bed at the hospital.
The Detroit Tigers also are one OF
the surprising busts Of the season.
Bad pitching and faulty fielding
have lost thirteen games for the
club that was generally looked upon
as a one-twothree certainty and Ty

A good rain here last Satut

Crop conditions generally are
good, with splendid stands of
cotton and a fair stand of corn
reported. Nearly all the fields
are practically free Of grass

growing off nicely.
The tomato crop with con-

Truckers are getting a good
stand of cantaloupes and wa

new TEST HERE If
BLOCK ISFORMED
Kentucky Syndicate Ready 10
Sink Well if Land OUners
Cooperate.

The drilling block is being
formed -by Mr. j. p. Byers Of
this city for a Kentucky syndi-
cate composed of DR.. F. w.
Samuel Of Louisville, KY, and
other capitalists who financed
the DcAm well. Leases are
made to DIR B. G.. Gribble, Trus-
tee, and will be held in escroe in
the Washington State Bank,
for the protection Of the land
owners, until the well is spud
ed in and drilled to a depth OF
500 feet.
The men proposing to fl
nance this test are sound bust
ness and professional men ana
they will complete a well, if
given the opportunity, in the
shortest possible time. The
lease is similar to that used IN
reblocking the Thurman acre
age, east Of town, and safe
gaurds the land owner.
This tefrito~y, we believe,
has an oil future, but it is 60
ing to take outside capital to
open it up. 1t is, therefore, es-
sential that we encourage all
who come to us in good faith,
and with a fair and legitimate
proposition, by making assign
ment of leases in order to Sc.
cure the development so much
desired and needed. A lease
without production is valueless
to the land owna-, so let's go
after development and get all
the tests going that it is possi-
BILE to get.
Mr.. Byers has only covered
a small portion of the proposed
lease block to date, but he re-
ports that all land owners seen
are anxious for the test and
have readily agreed to make as
Gignment of leases.
Since his first visit to this
city, Operator Wooten has he'd
a desire to sink test well
near Washington, having been
impressed with the possibili
ties here. His test at DeAnn Is
