ground. every department Of the pe-
troleum industry would come into
alignment.
Real Improvement.
Tt Is because some real Improvement
has begun to show in the producing end
OF the business that I feel greatly en-
couraged about the future. We have In
the United States approximately ST.
100000 barrels of finished gasoline in
storage, enough by itself for a months
consumption, without any current pro-
duction. This surplus or reserve of the
finished product is much too large in
the light of the increased fiexibility of
refinery operations. It might be re-
duced materially at no inconvenience
to the public and with a decided saving
to the industry.
Back of this story Of finished prod
ucts is a much greater surplus or re-
serve of crude oil and partly finished
stocks. No one is able to say Just how
much these stocks should be to prove
adequate. In an ideal situation they
would be large enough to cover working
stocks and to f1ll in any deficiency in
day-to-day production of crude I'M
til that is brought up to requirements.
What we will all agree upon is that the
total of 693,000,000 barrels is vastly
above the amount needed.
The combination of low prices for
crude production, voluntary and COM
pulsory restrictions upon the principal
fields and the growing understanding
among producers of the economies of
their situation has resulted in holding
down both drilling operations and flush
production to a level which, If long
enough maintained, should put the in
duStryS house again in ORDER
At present We are drawing upon
crude In storage for about $4,000 bar
rels day. Gasoline stocks have been
reduced during the peak of maximum
consumption, now coming to an end.
The statistical position will be i'm
proved II during the coming Winter
there is no increase in gasoline stocks
above today's figures, which are more
than ample to meet all trade require
mentS.
Precedent Cited.
In times past the industry has not
been allowed to draw upon its reserve
very long before prices paid for crude
were advanced, and production thereby
stimulated to make up the deficiency.
With the costly lessons from that ex-
perience in mind, 1t Is to be expected
that the purchasing companies will be
less likely to follow that policy In fu-
ture.
If the same voluntary and compul-
sorry measures Of control. are continued
In force until substantial reduction
has been made in the stocks pressing
upon the industry, there should be q
marked improvement in all depart
mentS. beginning with the producer
himself and eventually extending to the
smallest retail outlet.
The change will not be abrupt. but
1t should make itself felt very gradu-
ually, and with its progress should
come a recovery in earnings on the
eleven billion dollars capital engaged
in the oil business in the United States

GOLFERS BEATEN IN OPENING GAME
Last Years Junior City League
 Champs Lose to Republicans

The Golfers. champions of the Junior City league last season, were handed an Il to defeat by the Re publican Juniors in their opening game of the season at Walnut Hill parksSaturday afternoon. The losers never threatened to take the lead after the winners had piled up a three run advantage in the first in- ming.
 Trusk was in brilliant form for the winners and always had the Golfers well under control. In the last three innings he eased up and the Golfers scored six runs.
 The losers never recovered from the jolt they received in the first in ming when the first three Republican batters hit safely. All of these scored before the inning was over and the Golfers from this point on were on the defense.
 Meyers was pounded hard by the Republicans during the first few ln- nings and then contributed to his own downfall by becoming wild. Haber and Hornecki followed New CTS to the mound but, by this time, the damage had been done and the ] Golfers were beaten.
 Trusk never let up until the clos ing innings During the game he sent 12 batters back 10 the bench on strikes.
 In the first frame the winners counted three times when their three leading hitters singled, doubled and .tripled in order. This was followed by an infeld out which brought ir the third run.
 In the second, each team scored q run but the winners went far into the lead when they scored seven run! in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings
 The Golfers staged three run ral lies in the seventh and ninth frame; but the winners had too big a leac to be in danger of losing.

League Standing

In the opening games in the Sen for City Baseball league, played at Walnut Hill Park Saturday after noon. the. Pirates Burritts and Holy Cross teams were returned victor ous. The Pirates nosed out the So- kols to 1 in the first game on Dla- mond No. 1. This was a pitching duel between Brooks for the Pirates and Dobreck for the Sokols. The Burritts had little trouble in defeat ing the West Ends, 9 to 2 with Bruno Kania acting like a big leaguer in the box. The Holy Cross team swamped the Senecas. 13 to ' in the game on Diamond No. ? | James J, Naughton, member of the public recreation commission. pitched the first ball and John ! Smithwick. playground supervisor, caught it.
 Pirates 2-Sokols
 Two gladiators of the baseball
 mound opposed each other as the 1 Pirates and the Sokols met for the
 first time this season on Diamond No. l and each was in prime form. They were Brooks. hurling for Char lie Millers Corsairs, and Dobreck,
 representing the Polish society.
 Sensation after sensation in the
 pitching line piled upon each other.
 Dobreck famed the first seven men
 to face him without allowing a ball
 to be hit fair and scored 10 strike
 outs in the first four innings.
 Brooks. on the mound for the Pi-
 rates. had seven strikeouts in aS
 many frames, but he had been
 touched up for two bingles. one of
 which had resulted in run coming
 in.
 The Pirates won the games two 70
 one only after the stiffest kind of a
 battle. After the Sokols had crosse l
 the plate once in the second inning. the Pirates tied the count in the fourth when Dobreck walked th2 first man to face him, he stole sec ond and scored on an error at short stop. Two successive errors by Beg ley at short for the Pirates in the second inning. followed by a single by Martin. had given the Soiols
 their counter.
 Then. with both pitchers working F in excellent form but with Dobreck | seemingly getting weaker. the seventh inning broke, a bad session I for the Sokols.
