ism is punctuated with dollar marks and
seIfishness
OF all the branches of industry that have
been prepared for the emergency, the oil
industry has been first and foremost. 1t has
been able to do anything the government
asked, because It had been geared to war
tempo even before war came 1t was merely
a matter Of allowing the industry 10 func-
ton But now the industry is being shackIed
and jostIed around from every alphabetical
group. We feel that If the "aIphabets" were
taken out Of Washington and Oregon, there
would be no military danger through short
age Of fuel oil or motor fuel. There would
be no complaint from the people The Mon
tana producers and refiners could stand up
and do their share and take care of the
ugly competition that greets them at The
summit of the Rocky mountains.
They would not waste STEEL but conserve
it.
They would not waste transportation ia
cilities, but get products 10 the place where
they are needed, with the greatest speed
over the shortest distances
AS it Is, we have summer at hand and
at the moment when we are likely to be
called upon TO take a more important role
in the war effort, we find an actual shortage
Of crude here In Montana. The june require
ments of refiners and the call of the export
market are greater than the amount Of oil
the fields can produce, owing to the virtual
halt of development In these first four
months Of confusion.
IF total war comes to the United States
it win be In the Pacific northwest and IF
IL comes at all 1t viii doubtless be soon, as
the Japs hope TO win the war only by
defeating the United States before we can
get ready TO take the offensive.
IF total war thus comes tanker supplies
Of oil viii be halted as certainly as have
been the east coast tankers. At that time
Montana win be called upon to save the day
with Its tOO-littIe supplies.
1t behOoves patriotic MOntanans to get
MORE oil developed, against that possibility,
working with all possible speed under the
existing handicaps.
1t is the wrong time TO sit down and cry
It is the wrong thing to assume that the
military win rush into Montana, drill wells
increase refinery throughput and provide
means of transportation after bombs start
falling on the BremertOn navy yards.
There wOnt be any profit in providing oil
to win the war IN the Pacific northwest.
However, II win profit all Americans IL we
can help prevent disastrous shortage Of Pc
trOIeum when the time Of emergency arrives.

BY WIN MALONEY

1t was stated through very re-
liable sources that, "Jarp" O'Neil, a
teacher at LeavenWorth, for over
three weeks has been coaching the
Speedboys. Well, let's hope that
they do better under his guidance
than they have done previous to
this.
Over at Leavenworth the ques-
ton is: Why did Crosby beat Tech?
Well, the most probable answer is
that Tech needs much faster team
both on the defensive and offensive
to beat Crosby.
Saturday night Tech plays Bristol
who has very fast team, and in
his return game I give them $3.50
chance.
Friday night Crosby plays Meri-
den and after their current vic
tory over Harding they ought to
take this game in a runaway.
According to Coach Tracy, Whitley
Valunas leads the Tech cour,men
with As points, with Ed Zupnes
running a close second with 81
points.
When the saying, like calm be-
fore the Storm" is mentioned, l
think of February 7. That is the
day when Crosby again meets Wildly.
But in that game Wildly, think will
be much better, and whether the
Crosby courtmen can take Wildly
for 2 in row depends entirely on
themselves.
A word to the wise, when you
go into a game don't stand on your
record, but when the game is over
if you have won you won't have
to stand on your record. But the
record will publicize you, don't tell
what you are going to do, but after
you have done it you won't have
to tell anyone.

PHILLY SCRIBES
HONOR MULCAHY

Philadelphia, Jan 29-(UP)-
Hugh dosing Pitcher Mulcahy,
first prominent major league ball
player TO go into the armed forces,
will be honor guest at the Philadel-
phia Sports Writers annual dinner
tonight.
Mulcahy, who in his four years
with the Phillies had given promise
of developing into one of the Ma
tional leagues topnotch pitchers,
had his career nipped in the bud
last March 8 when he was inducted
into the army.
Although Mulcahy led the Ma
tional league in losses twice--20 in
1888 and % in 1940-he was well on
the way TO pitching his way into a
first division club as Kirby Higbe
Claude Passeau, and Bucky Walters
had done before him. But Culcahy
has given up thoughts OF a baseball
career until the big job of winning
the war is over. He's now first

ST.L. CARDINALS
CLUB TO BEAT
BILL BELIEVES
Mize Can Be Returned If
Shoulder Goes Bad; Sny=
der to Boss J. G. Giants
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


New York, Jan. 20 - (UP) -
Baseballs biggest deal of the win
ter-purchase OF First Baseman
Johnny Mize from the Cardinals
by the Giants-Was made on con-
ditional basis, Bill Terry, general
manager of the New York National
League Club, revealed today.
Terry said the Giants made the
deal for the Cardinal first baseman
on the basis that he could be re-
turned to st. Louis if his injured
shoulder continued to bother him
in spring training. The Giants
gave the Cardinals reported $780,
600, Pitcher Bill Lohrman and
Catcher Ken O'Dea for Mize.
Everybody knew Mize had a
lame shoulder said Terry, who is
here to discuss numerous problems
pertaining to the Giants and
their farm system with Manager
Mel OFT and President Horace
Stoneham." The Cardinals believed
Mize has recovered from his injury
and so did we but we made an oral
agreement that we could return
him if he wasn't all right"
To Hot Springs
Latest information from Mize
who is W.ntering in Florida, is that
he has completely recovered but
the Giants are taking no chances
on the big slugger. They have or
dered him to Hot Springs, Ark.
Feb. l for two weeks of baths and
general conditioning before going
to the Giants Miami training
camp. There's another reason, too,
why the Giants are hoping that
they can keep Mize - their other
first baseban, Babe Young, has
been placed in Glass la in the
draft, and probably will be in the
army soon. So if Mize isn't able
to play first, Terry may have to
conduct the business of Giants
general manager from the first
base section of the Polo Grounds.
Terry brought other news to
town.
Bigger Farm System
The ex-Giant field manager
named Pancho Snyder, Giant coach
since 1888, manager of the Jersey
City international League, Club
announced the Giants farm system
has been increased from five to
nine clubs and predicted that the
st. Louis Cardinals would win the
National League pennant unless
they are hit hard by the draft.
THE Cardinals are the team"
Terry said. Il don't see any other
clubs to get excited about. There's
nothing particularly interesting
about Brooklyn which is merely
one of the pack"
Appointment of Snyder as pilot
of the Jersey City club is the first
step IN an effort to build the Giant
farm into youthful and produc-
tive feeder for the parent club.

Extra Seats Needed
for Sportsmen' S Show

The public's response has been SO
gratifying that it has necessitated
installation of additional seats in
the Sportsmen's Show grandstand
at the former carbarns building on
Wethersfield avenue, now known as
the Hartford Auditorium. The man
agement of the Sportsmens deter
mined to give the people of this
state a Sportsmen's Show that
would be talked about, has sue
ceeded even beyond its fondest
hopes.
One Of the things that is out
standing in the show is the COM
edy. Antics by the comedians in
the Victoria Six unicycle and BIZ
cycle act bring down the house. The
guieS contest is another number on
the two-hour show that gets hearty
laughs. When these young fellows
from Maine do their stunts on the
logs or In canoes, the audience goes
wild with enthusiasm. A real
Crude fight Is now going on between
the guides. What the results will
be before the show is over is any,
body's guess.
Good Worker
Bill Stern, the debonnaire NBC
sports announcer, is doing really
wonderful job at the mike. He
has piled up many thousands OF
new friends in the state with his
vivid, colorful and witty word pic
lures of the events at the tank or
on the stage.
Director Frank Dubinsky's selec-
ton of the Hopi Indian village, the
roller skating team, Sons of the
Purple Sage and other stellar acts
has been fully justified in the man
ner that these numb;~s are being
received. Wild animals galore, wild
birds of rare breeds, fast bag
