Economist Believes New Era
In Oil Industry Is Due
Soon; Cites Developments

Economist of Federal Trade
Commission.
Several recent bits of news may
we'll call our attention to oil
stocks. Pan American has just
declared a dividend on the COM
mon and B stocks, which is the
first one in about two years. This
means over million dollars for
Standard of Indiana, that COM
pany owning more than 80 per
cent of Pan American stock.
Various large oil companies are
lending several millions to the
Mexican government as advances
on taxes. This reminds us that
they still have some spare cash,
and these payments should make
them strong in Mexico.
Look for Remedy
Last week the Government de-
cided not to appeal from the de-
cision which upholds the pro-
posed merger of Standard of New
York and Vacuum Oil. Many stu
dents of the industry look for a
remedy of the present chaotic
conditions, in the concentration
of control in the hands of larger
companies. This decision may lead
to a step in that direction.
But, while such items remind
us that the oil industry is not
dead, the fundamentally impor-
tant fact is the slashing of oil
and gasoline prices to extremity
low levels. Such prices are now
down to liquidating basis. At
last they have been cut low
enough to be a kill or cure rem
edy.
The price of crude oil barely
covers lifting costs. 1t is figured
that the direct costs of diVersi-
fled efficient company amount, to
at least 20 cents a barrel, and
the average of all costs, including
overhead, is something like 80
cents a barrel.
East Texas Flush
The greatest immediate trou-
BILE is the flush" production Ia
East Texas. Despite attempts to
hold this field down to 100000
barrels, it is running $4,000 a
day. 1t is like the old Cushing
pool of 20 years ago, and then
oil was sold as low as Is cents
a barrel. Now as then, things
will improve with the inevitable
ending of the FLUSH" period in
East Texas.

about at bottom. The average

TAPT. ROY WARD, at Herring Bay,
~ telephoned in that there are
plenty of fish in the Bay, but that
owing to weather conditions they have
not commenced to bite and only q few
boats have been out. He says that

some very large hardheads.
George M. Might, at Leonardtown.
reports that there has been no hook

founders from * to pounds blue
fish from to pounds and some very

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

inclusive, but they are of record, never
theless.
To bring the matter of scoring with
the new golf ball nearer home. two
golfers playing in the match play
rounds of the Woodmont tourney yes
terday played so far under par that
their opponents were overwhelmed by
the brilliance of their golf with the big
sphere. Jimmy Herman, long hitter
OF the Washington Golf and Country
Club, had five brides on the first SIX
holes in his second round match against
Jesse Baggett of Beaver Dam and mn
ishing the nine with a on the par 4
ninth hole, scored 80, which is under
par. He ended the match on the
eleventh hole, winning by and z.
John c. Shorey bagged three brides
In the first five holes against j. Monro
Hunter, the medalist, and turned with
a "a to be up.
Shorey and Herman were the favor
ties to go to the final round at Wood
mont today Shorey opposed Alton E.
Rabbit, unattached player, in one half
of the semi-final, while Herman played
Forrest Thompson, veteran Beaver Dam
star in the other half.
In addition to the fancy scoring put
on by Shorey and Herman, several
other funny things happened. G. A
Ryan of Indian Spring knocked his
tee shot through the trees on the first
hole and then proceeded to hole a
mashie niblick pitch over a bunker foI
an eagle 2.
Dolph Anterior, unattached, found
his regular putter working badly, SC
he proceeded to try out his other clubs
and learned that his driver put the
ball in the hole better than the others
He putted most Of the way around with
his driver, finally missing a two-footel
on the eighteenth green that would
have given him victory over Maury
Fitzgerald. Then, when they went tx
the first extra hole, Fitzgerald got 9
miracle half and went on to win the
match on the twentieth hole.
Mike Oliveri of Argyle laid Donald
Healy of Georgetown stynie on the
eighteenth green to halve the match
Healy retaliated by holing a chip Shot
on the first extra hole to win.
The Shorey- Hunter match was 9
great exhibition of courage on the par
of both contestants. Shorey was s.
hot on the first nine that Hunter. ever
though he played the nine in 80, wal
4 down. Then Shorey won the mex
hole with birdie 8. AT this point the
tall Indian Spring lad took the match
in hand, winning three holes in row
to go to the fifteenth only 2 down
But here he missed four-foot putt fol-
a half to go dormie down.
He came right back to win the six
tenth with birdie after nearly put
ting his tee shot out of bounds, but
the match ended on the short seven
tenth, which was halved in par IS

usually means a sloppy six or seven.
Be content with the five. You can
win with fives,. but you can't win
with skies and sevens."
I should say probably 90 per cent
of the players have the fault of not
playing safe. If they stopped to
analyze their results back over no
more than half dozen rounds, they
would find it was just common sense
to do these things:
/. Play out of the woods instead
of through them.
2. Go for the green instead Of the
pin on most approach shots, espe-
cially If the cup is located on pro-
lection or beyond a trap.
g. Use the right club in a bunker,
remembering that the first objective
Is to get out.

Former American Open Champion
AS TOLD TO ALAN GOULD.
No. 1O-Take the Penalty,

No. 1O-Take the Penalty.
If it isn't well known already, 1t
should be fairly obvious that you
can't win in golf with skies and
SevenS.
I know you will remind me that
Bobby Jones tied for the open cham
pionship at Winged Foot In 1929
despite two sevens on his card for
the last round, but he was lucky
enough to sink q 12-foot putt on the
last hole to gain that tie.
However, since Jones Is always the
exception when golf is being dis
cussed, I guess this proves the rule.
I have studied the cards OF many
big tournaments, and find that the
fellow who wins usually has played
safe, refusing to run the risks that
may mean a six or a seven.
/ daresay have lost a half dozen
important tournaments In my career
by taking chances. doing foolish
things that can go back and pick
out later as the cause OF a fatal
extra stroke or two.
Tommy Kerrigan, my first teach
er, would have won many a big
tournament or championship but for
his unwillingness to take the penalty
for a poor shot, trying instead TO
make up his mistake, only to get
into more difficulty.
So In advising the average tourna-
ment player I say:
Play safe when you are in .
tough spot. Don't take the long
chances that you hope will mean q
