By Times Special
The Pittsburgh Pirates 2-to-1
victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers
advanced them to within three
games of the league-leading Chicago
Cubs, who were idle, because of the
Massachusetts blue laws. The
victory gave the Buccaneers a clean
sweep of the two-game series. The
game was pitchers battle between
Carmen Hill, who allowed seven
hits, and Bill Doak, who gave eight.
Wright'S single in the ninth, scoring
Cuyler, decided the affair.
The New York Giants advanced
to within a game of the third place
Cardinals, who were idle, by taking
a double-header from Cincinnati,
8 to 8 and 6 to 1. Leslie Mann's
pinch hit double in the ninth, scor-
ing three runs, decided the first
contest. Mann's home run with a
man on third also featured the
second game.
Detroit scored its eleventh con-
secutive victory by defeating Wash
ington, IL to 4, the Tigers thereby
tightening their hold on second
place. Harry Heilmann with two
singles and a double in four times
up led the Tigers attack.
The winning streak of the st.
Louis Browns was run to six straight
by virtue of their double defeat of
the Boston Red Sox, to 0, and 4
to 8. Vangilder's fine pitching in
the first game was the high spot of
the day.
Willis Hudlin's great relief pitch
ing enabled the Cleveland Indians
to defeat the New York Yankees,
7 to 4. Hudlin relieved Buckeye
with the bases full and none out.
The Yankees succeeded in scoring
but one run before he retired the
side, after which he allowed, but
two hits. Babe Ruth was forced out
of the game in the first inning when
he injured his back in swinging at
a pitched ball.
Willie Kamm's error on Coch-
rane's pop fly in the first inning
permitted the Philadelphia Ath-
letics to score four runs. after
which they never were headed in
their to victory over the Chi
cago White Sox. Extra base lit-
ting by both the Sox and Athletics
kept a constant stream of pitchers
coming into the game. Seven in all
were used.

| Difficulties entangling the Julian
Petroleum corporation and the Calf

retard field operations which are be-
ing carried on here under the name
of the Julian. according to infor-
nation received Thursday from Los
! Angeles by interested parties.
Aside from operations on the Rice
Fulton tract in the Kevin Sunburst
field, purchased last summer BY the
Julian for $S,OOO.OOO, the Jullan's
principal development work now un-
der way in Montana is being carried
on at the Pondera we'll, near Conrad.
The Julian also started work, last
tall. on the Goosebill structure, but
because OF road conditions operations
have not been resumed this spring.
Delay Is Fcrestailcd
William Fulton, the contractor who
is drilling the Pondera well, has been
assured through Ralph Arnold and
Charles A. Mau, who leased and rec
commended the field that operations
there will be financed and carried on
by group OF individuals within the
California Eastern organization. This
action will be taken to prevent the
lelay that will probably result before
the Julian's affairs are Strengthened

completed Immediately, it is under
stood.
Operations were suspended by Con-
tractor Fulton at the Pondera well
early this week at about 1900 feet,
but will be resumed. it has been an
nounced, within short time.
The refining plant here Of the Sun
burst OH and Refining company was
taken under option several months

templated purchase was never com
pleted and the plant still is owned

been received here recently as to the
Julian's intentions concerning the
plant. E. A. Wyatt. who represented
the Julian ID the deal, was called to

nection with the matter and has not
