Staff Correspondent) New York, Sept. 24. —With the end of a very hard road they have been pourtding all through the season in sight, the New York Giants have two chances, today and tomorrow, to grab the few points that will virtually cini h the National league penant. With a lead of four games, the world’s champions of 1921 and 1922 will engage in a pair of games with the ’Reds iti -Cincinnati and if the Now Yorkers show their established ability to do their best when it is most needed they will leave the Ohio City with the penant. As it now «tands, the Giants have to win only half of their remaining games to cop the penant even if tb.o Reds should not suffer a defeat in their remaining six games. If the Giants take both games from the Reds, they cannot lore the penant but if the Reds should pop with one of their winning fits the McGtaw' clan will be m a most serious Situa-, .t: .. ’ |

{frog EYES WON DECIDING IN SERIES WITH GRAYS j The Frog eye baseball team won the (leciding game of a three-gaine series with the Decatur Grays yestrday I afternoon, on the former's diamond, score, 5-1. The game was a pitchers' battle between "Happy” Shady, of Preble, who hurled for the Grays, and Grotian, of Flatrock, who was on the mound, for the winners, until the eighth inning when a number of errors by the Grays’ infield threw the game uway. The lone marker made by the Grays came in the first Inning, when Engle beat out a bunt down the third base line, stole second and came home on Franks' slashing double to center field fence. After the first Inning the Grays never had a chance to score, so good was Grottan's hurling. He struck out 16 and lowed only hits. Shady struck out 14 and was touched for 5 hits. Not a Frog Eye passed second base until the sixth inning. Summary: DECATUR 1 0 0 0 0 0 0.0.0—1 FROG EYES 0000 011 3.x—5 Batteries, Shady and Biggs, Grotian and Berning.

Better jjjill the piece is deserving. The author Mofitague Glass, conceived a more than merely amusing entertainment. He wrote a pat and pithy satire, and peopled it with flesh and blood and put into the -mouths of these recognizable tpyes breezy speeches that are partinent.

Blazing the Way PERHAPS the outstanding characteristics of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and its success lies in the fact that in all of its activities it has had to establish precedent — there was none to follow. For this reason it was forced to delve far into science—to analyze—to deduce—to conclude — to act. It was the task of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to eliminate haphazard — to eliminate the speculative. If the products of petroleum were to be a staple and become an integral partin the operation of other industries, the entire process of refining petroleum must be based on scientific accuracy. It was on this premise that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) established its immense research laboratories, equipping with every modern facility. The findings of the men in these laboratories have contributed much to the success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and enabled it to earn its rightful position as a leader in the industry. Scores of new products have been evolved in these laboratories. All were taken from the single J base-crude petroleum. They have enabled you (4 to partake of many of the refinements of life and \ to enjoy comforts that otherwise would have I been denied you. Viewed broadly, the pioneer work of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has done much to stabilize industry; to put production on a standard of accuracy; to reduce the cost of commodities; to develop new methods; to give inventive genius a starting point. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has not confined its pioneering alone to the manufacturing and selling of petroleum products. It has inaugurated new methods of industrial relations within its own organization that have gone a long way towards solving the problems confronting industry generally. Thus, by blazing its own trail has the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) grown big —big in size and big in service—to the thirty million people cf the Middle West, Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
