BILOXI, Miss, March 7.-Ulti.
matums in the cases of Joe Judge
and Heinie Manush were issued
by Clark Griffith, who admitted
today that he expected trouble
in signing both performers.
With Joe Judge, however, the
situation appears somewhat more
promising than in Manush's case
because the veteran reported last
night along with Ossie Bluege,
regular third basemen; Joe Kuhel,
supposed regular first Sacker, and
Ralph Boyle, the former Balti-
more Oriole outfielder.
But with Manush there looms
plenty of trouble as Heinie failed
to answer Griff's last communi.
cation to him at West Palm
Beach, Fla, while he also failed
to report Jher due last night.
Reduced $2,5OO
1t is understood from reliable
sources that Manush has had
$2,50O salary cut thrown at him
this year which is one-third off
of what he received for his
services during 1881.
It is for this reason that
Heinie has not reported. Griff
admitted that he had not heard
from the big outfielder since
early in the week.
81 told him then my first
and original offer still stood,
and he had better accept and
report when due" said Griff.
II have not heard from him
since"
The fact that Judge reported
last night is indication that the
veteran is willing to talk about
his contract Still, last night,
Judge intimated that he was not
going to run around looking cor
Griff for a conference, while
Griff said the same when
accosted on the subject.
The arrival of Judge, Bluege,
Ku-1el and Boyle augmented the
number of the Griff men now
in camp. Infielders Joe Cronin
and Johnnie Kerr. the latter the
second baSeman corralled from
the Chicago White Sox last De-
cenber were to arrive today.
To Workout
Every one of the performers
will take their first work outs
today. Sammy West, leading
Griff batter, last year, having
signed his contract will also swing
into action.
Practice sessions will be speed.
ed up in a couple of days. or
as soon as the regulars now in
camp get their bearings. The
first exhibition game of the
spring season is scheduled next
Sunday with the Baltimore Ori-
oles. Signs, posters and what
have-you, are daily broadcaSting
the site, which will be the spac-
ious Biloxi ball park.

"How's the oil business
This question, hurled at us
every day Of the year, may be
the product Of q lazy brain which
would otherwise give birth to
some such Wighty Interrogation
as, Think it's going to rain ~
or lis Hoover going to winf"
However, to be asked this
question every day and every
day sometimes makes us wonder
how we can answer the question
without the conventioal and
meaningless Fine or Coed !
which is intended to be in good
faith at this time.
We have taken the trouble to
examine statistics gathered by
the American Petroleum Insti-
tute to answer the question:
''How's the oil businessf"
Here are the unvarnished
facts.
After having held up to the
1880 level during 1881, the
consumption Of gasoline in the
United States is showing a loss
this year, against the record Of
1881. That is not surprising.
The tourist business has been at
a standstill and lot Of people
did not drive their cars this
year. Yet the oil industry is
making MORE MONEY this year
than last.

How To Profit?

At its worst, the oil industry
was better than the rest. Now.
the oil industry is striding ont
ahead Of the others in the recov-
cry. From every angle il offers
the greatest opportunity for prof
liable investment.
To the investor who has stud
led the oil industry there is one
preferred angle Of investment.
One way is to gamble on the
stock market, buying and selling
oil shares. Another way is to buy
the shares to keep, depending
upon q rate Of income varying
from four per cent to 10 percent.
according to the success Of the
company selected. A third way Il
10 buy the shares of new com
panies which have an opportunity
to produce a much greater pro-
fit than that offered by the old
conservative stocks. A fourth
way is to own lands or to buy an
interest in oil lands from the
landowner. This is the purchase
Of royalties. A royalty is the de-
signation Of the landowners
share Of the oil which the opera
tor gives him, free Of cost Of
production, in return for the
right to prospect for his oil.
II we knew Of branch Of in
dustry that offered greater Op-
pOrtunities than does the oil In
dustry today, we would certain
" be plunging into il, for at our
age we expect to see no other
time Of opportunity like this one.
At the same time, il we knew Of
a branch Of the oil industry that
offered greater opportunity to
the investor than the purchase OF
royalties, we would certainly be
plunging into that branch Of the
oil industry. We believe that
there are millions to be made in
producing, refining and market
ing here in Montana yet we know
Of no way where an investment
of q few dollars may provide f.
nancial independence as easily as
through ownership Of oil rights
IN lands which win provide the
oil FOR the making Of millions by
refiners and market
rs.
Anyone desiring TO make a stu
" Of royalties is invited to
write to us, without obligation.

MARKETERS
As to the marketers

AS to the marketers
Tank wagon prices are third
higher this year than last and
are remaining steady. The aver
age gasoline tank wagon price in
the United States is III 10 cents
against an average price Of 8
~ cents per gallon one year ago,
an increase Of rs per ent.
The wheels of industry are be-
ginning to turn again, through
out the United States. Turning
wheels require power and lubri-
cation. Petroleum products not
only lubricate these wheels but
provide much Of the power. As
employment increases, aut0mobil-
es are brought out from storage.
An increase in automobile sales
has already been recorded. The
gasoline business win have no
worry II only the old cars resume
their normal consumption Of gas
cline
Let business continue good for
another eight months and next
spring win find the head Of ev-
cry family in the country pro
claiming that be owes himself
and the family vacation hav-
ing passed up vacation Ia 1882.
And so it is easy to fortell a
record gasoline market for 1882.

Ho1O's the Oil Business"
The Bromide and the ApslOer

pany and other Montana opera-
tos continue to pay their reeu-
lar dividends. Montana operators
are again selling their production
at the highest prices for oil of
equal gravity IN the United
States. But these facts do not re-
fleet general conditions.
Ohio Oil company which passed
one dividend in the depression
reports a profit during the first
six months Of 1882 Of $4,O9s, 19s.
Standard Of California showed
an increased profit in 1882 over
1881. It's profits IN the first
six months Of this year were
$6,9I6,544 against $5,643, 1868 in
the same period Of 1881.
Continental Oil company suf-
fered a staggering loss Of So
528, 84S in the first six months
Of 1881 recovered sufficiently so
that its loss in the first six
months Of this year was only
1856, 500.
Texas-Pacific Coal & Oil com
pany, another Montana operator.
showed a profit Of $416,283 in
the first six months of this year
against loss of $500, 237 in the
corresponding period Of 1881.
These are all companies 0per-
ating in Montana but who have
their greatest holdings and opera
tons in other states.
Among the other companies
well known TO members Of this
organization are many which
have turned a loss of 1881 into a
profit this year. Atlantic Rein
ing company, as an example,
showed a 81, 1856, 900 profit against
q $4,0l3,000 loss in six months
last year. Tidewater Oil company
showed loss Of $2,008, 81 la six
months Of 1891 and ia the same
period Of this year showed a pro
TT Of 81 159, 803.94. Tidewater-As-
sociated Oil company turned a
81, 077, AGA loss into a profit of
81, 099, ZOO in the corresponding
period Of this year.
Dividend days are at hand in
he oil business. The oil industry
vas the first to be plunged into
he abyss Of the depression and
t is the first to emerge.
What other branch Of industry
an show any snch recovery
surely not the railroads; not
extiles; not industrials. They
re all on the road to recovery
ut they are a long way from
ividends. If man were to take
is choice Of all branches Of in
ustry in the hope Of investment
or early returns, be could not
hoOse more wisely than to Sc
set stocks Of oil companies.
The stock market with its
ieady gains has given no prom
ie to the oil shares, yet since
uly 8 these stocks have bounded
pward more spectacularly than
erhaps any other, making new
scord highs for 1882 during the
asst week.

T ONDON, May 21.-Scots whaur
are ye. walled the pibroch, and
from the highlands and the low
land the clans are trouping to
the golfing wars at Muirf1eld in the
Gullane Hills next week, 100 strong
among the 235 entries for the British
amateur championship.
When the championship is ava from
Scotland canny natives save their six
pences and let it pass, but at St. An
drewS, Carnoustie or Muirfield, they
put few clubs in the bag, polish up
the old ball and prepare for battle.
Next week Scots will make up nearly
half the field and try to hold the
Lothian borderland against a cosmo-
politan lot OF club swingers swarming
up from England, filtering across from
the United States and from far corners
of the empire and the continent. Play
starts Monday.
ELEVEN Americans are in the lists,
- and a dozen from other parts OF
the world seek the crown won
last year at Westward Ho by young Eric
Martin Smith.
The foreign challenge is an unknown
quantity, for the majority are players
without international reputation. Dave
Martin, California champion, ought to
be the best of the lot from the U. S. A.,
with Leonard Martin, Rye, N. Y; Ross
Thompson, Uniontown, Pa, and Give
Alvord, Greenwich, Conn, backing him

Boston and his sawed-off putter play

Britain are Stuart Scheftel. for

and Robert Sweeny, both members of
the oxford team.
Douglas Grant is past his prime at
golf Paul Azbill of New Jersey, isn't
championship caliber, and Frank
Sweeny uncle of the young Sweeny
brothers, takes his golf seriously, but
not his title chances

the process of becoming an American,
and Cyril Tolley, now resident OF
