NATIONAL LEAGUE | RACE TIGHTENS IIP By Davis .1. Walsh, INS Sports Editor. Now York, May 11. Comedy may be the motif of the American league i situation, with thvy Yankees incrons 1 lug their advantage of 135 percentage I points at the ond of List week to 142 j at the beginning of this one. But. to the dubs immediately involved, the ; National league i.tee is Snout as com I Seal as a hair lip. The Giants were i comfortably behind the Reds, who l moved into first place yesterday by ! winning ftom the hopeless Phils while | the Giants were tossing off their s’- i ond straight to the Cubs. The entile National league became tighter than a suitor’s hand clasp dur - ing the week as the result of a gen-'I leral balancing ot values. The Cubs. I for example, stopped losing to every- | one and proceeded to win from all I comers, beating the Giants and Dodg- ! ers out of six straight. gaining'Tto less ; than 108 points in the jvercentage I table and advancing from fifth to ! third place in the standing of the < labs. The t’.nils. R< antime. also! .eeled off six in a row but were stopped yesterday by the Braves. However, they advanced all of 95 points in percentage and moved from sixth place to fourth. They were third yesterday bnt dropped back a half game behind the Cubs. 1 That’s the kind of a miss-and-ont I they are sponsoring in the National league today. The Giants and Pirates i .each btokv even on six games during ! tlie week but .500 baseball simply i won’t do even over a brief interval. I ' with two of the remaining contenders ' coming like the first of the month and ■ the other, Cincinnati, gaining 30 : 1 points on the week. The Cubs. Cards and Reds were the only entries to do | I themselves any good for the seven I days in question, Brooklyn losing 9S /points in the table and dropping from 1 : third to sixth place, where they be-I I long. -. • f In comparison, the American league : i has no more action than a tableau. ! The Athletics and Indians did man - I age to keep moving in the general di-1 reetion of some place by winning four ' our of six and gaining points each on | I (he week. Bit the Yanks gained 14 1 and what are you going to do about a cab like that? The answer will be | found in Mr. Webster's rather interesting attempt to define the word j I nothing. Tlie White Sox. Cleveland and D- ■ ' troit have come to the Yankee stadium I | and have left the record of one game j i won in nine played. The Yanks pitch- ! ing may be a bit uncertain and the In- | dian pitchers did cramp their style to some extent but they always had the I punch with men on. ! - o YESTERDAY’S HOME RUNS National League .

Peter De Paolo, winner of the 1925 contest and holder of t':e 500-mile record wa"s an average of 101.13 miles an hour, made his f ret flight in an airplane In which he has been taking lessons tor several weeks. The entire gasoline alley turned cut to watch Peter maneuver his ship in the air and when he came down there' were cheers for the capable manner | in which he handled a ship the first! time he Was in complete charge. Captain Rickenbacker, who was' America’s ace of aces during the world war. also looked on with an air f apP'.eciation, but D ‘ Paolo announce I that he enjoyed the thrill of a speeding race ear more flian the sensation f flying a ship. Hagen Loses Match To French Professional St. Cloud, France, May 14 —(U.R) Walter Hagen's golf invasion of Europe was marked with another de feat today The winner of the British ' open championship lost a 36-holo match yesterday to Aubrey Booner, St. Cloud professional, 3 up and 2 to play. The largest gallery ever to see _a golf match in France, 3.000, followed the two." Hagen’s unfamiliarity with the difficult course contributed to his downfall, but the principal reason he lost was because his putter failed him at critical moments.

Smile, Walter! Smile! I j ' A ’ M__l No wonder this boy has a broad grin on his face. It is a good photo of any man who has won the British Open Golf Championship as Walter Hagen has. He had to play some pretty steady golf to beat out tlie talent entered in the big event. His score of 292 brought home t.|ie bacon. x (In'.eraallunai *hJew»r»-el> EDI DESCRIBES TRIP TD PURDUE By Anion Mosspr. Geneva, Ind. ; The tltree-day trip that lam about ' o til! was won last fall in Hie Adams C unty Calf Club, as having the best Jersey Calf that entered the club. The first day of May. the five boys j who had won free trips to Purdue, i ; Indiana’s agricultural experiment sta-1 •ion. all met at the county agent's i ■ ffico. and Mr. KJepper, of Decatur i ' Cloverleaf Creameries, met. us and ' awarded us ow mency to ’pay ex-J •lenses as the creamery was paying . ■ill expenses for three days. We left j Decatur nt 20 minutes of nine and j arrived at Purdue at one-thirty in the ; ’ afternoon. We went out to see the I National Inspection of the s.'ldier i b v in training at Purdue. At the dairy barns we saw all ! j breeds-of cattle but y“t I th’nk Jer-1 sev cows are the best qt’ nil. They ; -hod quite'a jn limber of Jersey calves i lint in mf' estimation they were not quite as nice as Dad's little Jersey ; •al nr tßj” winning heifer. On May 2. we went tr> the Purdue’ Livestock Pavillion, which was very . ■ interesting and was educational to ; : those interested in livestock. On the morning of May 3, we listI ened to Edward C. Elliot, president I of Purdue Vniversity and some ot the different 411 Club leaders of the state. On Fiiday. May 4. we saw tjic picture show of tlie different livestock raised in Europe and the most outstanding being the cow used in place of horses, which have horns, five feet apart. Tlie barn doc.rs are built wide so the eow may get in the barn. Their hogs look like our sheep ordinarily raised in cur country. » Tills trip is of great value to me in that it tanght me -emo things about cattle and my mind was broadened as to the things that Indiana’s experiment station has in store for ho young peep’e of Indiana. I wish to take this onportualty to thank Mr. Klepner for the money he furnished for the trip and I want to *<ay to all boys and girls of Adams oountv if you want to win a trip like this just step in the clubs of good Adams county and work to win as I have dene.

It is a matter of corrmon knowledge that in the • last ten years the price of gasoline has advanced 1-ss than that of any o’ her commodity in general use, although the demand for it has increased tar more than the demand for any of the others. The supply of gasoline has been famished when and where it wak needed so faithfully that the tact ■ is taken for granted. Tl is '-ord of stability has been made by an Indus'rv .1 which costs of production have risen rapiciiv, in winch the investment ruimred and the risks incurred have been extraordinarily great. ! Within the past dozen years more than s7sjlOOO.OCO was expended in the I . b- in dnlhng dry holes and $500,000,000 more was put into weHs .hat ‘ produced so little oil as to turn the uAtstmu. a heavy deficit. These statistics emphasize the achievement of the oil industry ... urn '^? i complete and continuous supply 01 j-etrcieuiu products at comparatively stable prices. f Tlie average cost of drilling a well m ‘ '•’ I $-1,765. The average cost of a well last ye $18,725—0r nearly 300 per cent morn. Against tms background of rapidly rising cost-. 1 z stability of the price of gasoline w mu e seven months of 1927 was only 1- per . than before the war! This achievement of the oil ’ ,l(Ju s tr j made possible by increasing efficieni \ methods, Sciencehas been employed to improve methods, reduce waste and eliminate loss. The cost of exploration has been t means of the torsion balance, the (or the magnetometer. Methods have x< , )t ; cru( | e increasing the recovery of gasoline froi oil and from natural gas. l The oil industry has made , sllc ' l , pr °sucti.'n standardizing the equipment used in I of oil that according to a B overni , ber industry advanced more in two years than any ! in twenty years.
