 There's a legend about that song, and how it came to be written. How ard and some friends were streng th- ening themselves against the rigors of Chicagos bitter cold tthis was in 1904 at the Golden Horseshoe bar of the old Brevoort.
 It was Friday night. Into the bar came a couple of college boys in turtle-neck sweaters and small caps. One of the lads was sobbing in a distressing manner. He car ried much-read letter in his hand, letter from his girl informing him that the jig was up, insofar as he was concerned. She had stepped out and got herself another beau His pal, bitterly reflecting upon the vicissitudes of life, queried: T wonder who's kissing her now?" |

of the Puissant Pole from the

Harris said today:
"Simons has shown that he

as a ball player. AS a matter
of fact, AL has been badly
handicapped this spring. He
was forced to leave the club in

The preliminary fighters, how
ever, are subject to no such
"toothy" regulations.

If events of the very recent past
are to be used as a standard,
Washington's fight-going public
can never be sure about the pre-
liminary card they will see.
The investigator found Incl

tionS as to boxers, seconds and
trainers licenses had been ignored
and otherwise not enforced. That
is merely a matter of closer su-
pervision Of their inspectors and
office staff. One second appeared
here, the report indicated, in the
role of a manager, and got away
with it.
Neither did the commission, in
it's recommendations, indicate its
attitude toward the practice of
the weighing-in inspectors, calling
up a national news organization
and giving weights, including
those of fighters who did not ap-
pear for notwithstanding rival
news organizations of a national
character, as well as local news
papers who were not afforded an
opportunity of disseminating the
weights, including those Of fight
erS not present at 2 o'colck or at
ring time later.
Fake Weights

strictly the fault of the unfavored

are trivial, but enough trivial

That's why the investigation

The Athletics continued to play
smart baseball against the GriffS
and broke up a double steal with
the greatest Of ease in the first
inning. Stone singled after Kuhel
had walked and the latter moved
to third. The double steal was
ordered, but Brucker faxed a
throw to second, shooting the ball
to Williams, and the lanky pitcher
ran down Kuhel between third
and home.
Brucker's strategy In making
that play was perfect. He never
even looked at Kuhel as he drew
back his arm, ostensibly to throw
to second base. Kuhel fell into
the snare and Williams made short
work of him. A remarkable part
of this play was that Williams
did not make a throw to another
infielder. He jockeyed Kuhel into
position for the kill and made it
alone.
Brucker Is establishing some
thing of a record as a pedestrian
against Washington. His base on
balls in the second inning WAS
his eighth in 10 times at bat
against Griff pitching. He got
another walk in the third frame
and another in the eighth.

out of his province, MCGOWAN
started for the plate to impose

OF CAT
CREEK CRUDE IS
S1.45 PER BBL.

Effective last Monday, Januar,
4, Cat Greek oil price was boosted
to S1.45 per barrel by Continental
Oil company, under the 17-cenf
price increase announced by Presi.
dent Dan Moran on December 4.
Showing the upItrend of the pc
troleum market, Bradford-Allegany
crude has been increased II cents
and in the remaining PENNSYLVANIA.
West Virginia and southern Ohio
fields, have been advanced is cents
per barrel, effecting $4,000 barrels
of lube grade oil production.
Only a few buyers have followed
the Continental advance, as yet, but
some general advance is expected.
No price increases are scheduled in
Montana, inasmuch as north Mon
tana prices are based largely on Ca
madam markets. In Turner Valley
44.6 oil is priced at $1.73 and So
gravity oil is priced at 1913 per
barrel. These are the prices paid
for the producers completed re-
GENTLY i'm West Turner valley. Cut
Bank crude at $1.35 and Kelvin

with the Turner Valley crude ct
The prices named, with an advan-
