CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 15.-
While Ben Hogan and Herman Bar

list of National Open losers, Byron
Nelson staggered into a three-way
tie with Lloyd Mangrum and Vic

championship here today. Their 70
totals were 284. four under par.
Nelson, Mangrum and Ghezzi will
play off for the title at $50 tonlor-

playoff in 46 years of open history

.Newhouser, B|oodworth Homer
Get Tigers 81 Win Over Mats
By Burton Hawkins
Stor StoH Conespondent

The Mats ceased annoying New
houser after that. collecting only
one hit in the final three innings.
With one out in the eighth. Lewis
singled to center, but Spence and
Vernon flied to Doc Cramer in cen
ter to stymie any notions the Mats
had of creating trouble.
With one out in their eighth, the
Tigers added run as insurance.
Newhouser doubled off the right
field screen, moved to third on
Lakes single to left and scored as
Priddy gummed up Kell's grounder.
Cramer then lined to. Priddy, who
converted the drive into a double
play with a toss to Cecil Travis at
second, catching Lake off base.
Newhouser Well Supported.
Washington had a man on in the
ninth inning when Priddy walked
after Heath had peeked at third
strike, but Travis promptly dissi-
pated that incipient rally by whack-
ing a grounder to Lake, who turned
it into a double-play.
Newhouser, who previously had
beaten the Mats, 1912, on eight hits
and 10 on two hits, also was taken
out of a jam in the fourth inning
through the medium of another
double play With one out, Vernon
dashed a double to left and Heath
walked. but Priddy grounded to
Third Baseman Kell. who stepped on
third to force Vernon, then whipped
the ball to Hank Greenberg at first
ahead of Priddy.
Leonard, who absorbed his second
straight loss after winning five
straight, had no trouble with the
Tigers except in the fifth and eighth
innings. In other innings Detroit
didn't get a man past first base.

Cat Greeks
Full Extent
COniectural

~~~~
A mile east, on the west edge
of 8-15N-29E, two Devereaux
wells were dry holes while a
third, almost squarely between
them, for an extended period
flowed about a barrel of oil
daily, without water, from the
second Cat Creek sand. Repeat
ed efforts TO increase the output
of this well were failures. It was
on the fields 2,05O-fOot contour.
(Mosby sandstone contours, Lee
and Van Burgh.)
While developments such as
these probably do not warrant
belief that extent of lUwer pro-
ducing horizons viii be SO wild
ened as to take in the top of the
entire structure down to the
2,050-foOt contour, there are
those who insist 1t might hap
pen.
Another item that has been
arousing great deal of specu-
lation is the topsy-tllrvy condi-
ton of the oil gravity table in
this field.
Now Consider This:
Oil from the first Cat Creek
sand is roughly 81 gravity. and
that from the second Cat Creek
sand, beneath, is 46 gravity.
This is as it should be, observers
say, indicating that the lighter
oils have migrated upward from
the second sand to the first, pos
sibly along fault lines, leaving
the heavier oils behind and ac-
counting for the slight differ
ence in gravity.
But-and this is the item that
is causing some head scratching
oil from the fields new deep
zone-beIow the third Cat Creek
water sands higher in gravity
than that of the two upper
sands, testing 52.3 gravity.
Some are hazarding the timid
conjecture that the varying
gravity of the oils from the diff
ferent horizons in the field--and
the fact the oil of the highest
gravity is found in the lowest
sand-may be due to this:
That migration of oil into the
upper contours of this field has
been along horizontal planes,
and that the varying porosity
of the sand has been the sort
ing medium.
The Morrison sand, they ar
que, is SO tight and fine grained
that twill permit the migration
of only Light oil, hence this sand
carries the high-gravity oil in
this field.
And Now This:
Which leads them to the in
teresting assumption that some
where down the TANKS is a
major oil pool, exposed by fault
ing to the three sands now
yielding oil in the Cat Greek
field. These sands, they argue
have sorted out the oil, each
sand taking oil i'm accordance
with its porosity limits.
Left behind, they assume
may be the missing base STOCK
that provided the oil in the Ca
Greek field. (Cat Creek crude il

Draft Calls Cancelled

The Army has Cancelled draft calls
for the remainder of 1946, effective
October Is.
The War Departmet announced
that this action was taken because of
record-breaking voluntary enlist
ments nearing the million mark.
The Department said that decision
to suspend inductions for the remain
der of the year will affect about
$4,000 men who had been earmarked
for service through the October and
November calls.
The decision was disclosed in a
letter from Maj. Gen. w. S. Paul,
War Department Director of personnel
and administration, to the director
of Selective Service.
Cancellation of the calls was based
on Secretary of War Patterson's ex-
pressed intention to keep thsx Army
on a volunteer basis as far as pos
sible, inducting men only when this
was the only means of keeping the
Army up to required strength.
War Department officials empha-
sized that TIE Department merely has
suspended calls for the remainder of
1916 and "in no way has prejudiced
it's right to make future calls under
the Selective Service Extension Act. 2"
