new BAKER WELL
PROMISES GREATER
FLOW THAN NO. |

Shelby, March The Bak-
er-Barnhill-C CoreyBarger No. 3
we'll, double offset distance
from the big gusher owned by
the same company in sec 9-34-1
W, came in Wednesday morn
ing with a huge Ilow Of oil ard
water, which late in the after
noon was showing a pronounc-
cd tendency to increase the pro-
duction of oil.
For a few minutes after the
completion the we'll flowed
pure oil, but this was entirely
displaced by water within a
short time. The well then flow
ed for time, with but a trace
Of oil evident, but as the output
continued the proportion Of oil
began to gain and late in the
afternoon the amount Of oil
was SO large that the owners
cided TO run the fluid into
tankage and save the crude By
draining off the water.
The flow Of the we'll was in
heads, which occurred at inter-
walls Of Approximately II min
utes, with the volume of oil in-
creasing each time.
The presence of the water in
the initial flow of the well is not
regarded by the owners as j
factor which will seriously af
feet the wells value. This is
true because of the record OF
the No. we'll, which became
a gusher and flooded the prai-
rie around the rig with oil after
having produced nothing but
water for several months.
C.. r. Brazer of Helena and
Joe Baker, two of the owners,
announced "Wednesday night
that the we'll will be permitted
to flow as at present ais long
as ii will. and that a pump will
be installed as soon as the gush-
er tendency subsidies. If by that
time the wafer has not disap-
peared the same policy will be
followed that brought the No.
well into oil production, which
was that Of continuously pump
ing until the water was elimi
rated.
The we'll was completed al
/ $40 feet, at Of near the Ellis
Madison contact. The owners
estimated that if the ater in
trusion is eliminated the we'll
will have good chance to be
larger oil producer than the
No. 1. which flowed at the rate
of 800 barrels an hour for a
time after The water was over

 At the outset, and for several seasons, the Nutmegs had no coach. They devised their own plays and worked out signals. adding to them as the season progressed, from the plays of the New Britain High school team as shown in the Satur- l day games at Electric Field. After several seasons, however the serv- i ices Of John Tobin and Fred Dun- worth were secured, and frequent ! practice sessions were held at nisht 1 street. Dunsworth. who starred al 1 center for the High school for four St sons, took up the same job '.itf | the Nutmegs and with Tobin's as- sistancc. the outfit was well coached The Nutmegs were not money makers in football, although their expenses were paratively small Guarantees to visiting teams wer, small and there were no high salaried players on the club. At the end of each season, Fay made his report and as the players always | knew at the outset that their prin- i cipal reward was to be the satis- faction of playing on good team they were never disappointed tt 1 learn that there was no juicy finan, cial melon to be cut.

 Undoubtedly there are sports fol. lowers in New Britain who would not concede that the Nutmegs oi 1905 and several years later could possibly have been as classy as tht who are wearing the Nutmeg color. this year. and it is certain that there will never be means of settling such a question. but ii is extremel, doubtful that any of the boys of tha' period who battled through he mill ing crowds 0 get q glimps" of th' Glee Club Nutmeg clashes would al init that any pair of ends in stat, football today can get down thu field and spill punt receiver witt greater speed and sureneSs that Norlander and Anderson and som, others who were the speed mer chants of that day.

As 1t is the American league champions may have to use these aids to locomotion in the stead of bats. or perhaps to club Giant or Cardinal pitchers, as the case may be. on the head.
 Miller Hugsins will lead the prize list of cripples of all time into action at the Ruppert Stadium next Thurs day. The Cubs were weakened some in 1910 by the loss of Evers and others; the 1913 Giants missed sncdgrass and Merkle but what team ever marched into battle with an ailins list like Combs. Ruth. Lazzeri, koenig and Pennock? Not to mem ton Wiley Moore, star relief man of 1927. who severed his connection with the club altogether last week because of consistently sore arm.
 Combs is the latest addition to the hospital squad. An X-ray examina- ton in Detroit showed that he suf- fered fracture, not a sprain of the wrist when he crashed into the fence on Thurcday in an attempt to pick Heilman's drive from the air. He will be out until next season.
