WHITE SOX START WITH 13-4 DEFEAT White Sox, but. sad to say. the latter had the four and New York the thirteen. .... . . '. . V .. If there have been any more tiresome games of baseball In America this season the people who attended today's game are thankful they didn't see them. It was tiresome to the bugs because it took a whole hour to play the first two innings, and almost two hours and a half to finish the game. It was tiresome to the players, particularly to the Sox outfielders, who wouldn't have done any more running again&t Longboat. Every time you looked up you could see Parent, Browne Collins or Daugherty chasing out to the fence to recover something that one of Stalling's boys had hit. - Manager Manis of the Zimmermans is confident of victory and so is the manager of the Greys. Both will use their best batteries tomorrow and the game promises to be an exciting one. Batteries Colts, Blissmer and Hildebrandt. Steel Car Co. at Harrison park. Sunday. July 10 I. H.

An exciting contest Is anticipated tomorrow when the local aggregation clashes with the Greeleys, the fastest bunch of youngsters In Chicago at the Hammond Athletic Association , ball park. With the Hammond line-up strengthened fifty per cent whlch'ls due to the fact that Ketchell has secured a new pitching stafT that can be relied on, the locals are expected to win tomorrow's game. Although they will be handicapped again owing to a change in second sackere, man who is supposed to be a A 1 player and a close

friend of Schmidt's, will play his first

game on second base.

It Is reported that McCay, Hammond's center fielder, has refused to smoke the

weed and that he is now in training,

He will try to come back again, and

enow some of the fast sprinters how to

get to first without being seen.

In the last two games McCay has

been stretching singles into two bag

gers and it looks as if he will be able to do the hundred in ten flat in the

course. of two or three weeks. If some of the directors of the Ham

mond Athltic Association "club do not get busy in the out field and cut down

some of the weeds a new ground rule

will be necessary. It will be necessary

to have the fielder notify the umpire

that the ball Is lost In the underbrush

so that a player can not make a home run on the 'hit, if some one is lucky

enough to hit the pill that far.

Mitchell will twirl his Initial game

for the locals tomorrow. Klopp, the stocky back-stop will be behind the willow to receive anything that Mlthcll throws. The rain checks wh'ch were handed out last Sunday will be accepted at the date for admission tomorrow. Game called at 3:30. Admission 25c.

The elusive Mr. Evers managed to touch second, third and home in the first Inning practically without any assistance from his teammates and his tally was quite as important as the pair manufactured by Kllng's four baser, because it took three of a kind to beat the hand held by Griffith's men.

The great fortunes of this country have been made by those who associated themselves in the development of a natural resource. . A MILLION of dollars sounds like an enormous amount of money, yet a million has been made time and again in the producing of oils and judicious investment in com? panies in operation, and in this business sums of money are returned upon investments which it would take centuries of frugality to acquire. Oil stocks are the best investment of the day. Every wise investor will make money. California's greatest industry is in its infancy. California National Crude Oil Company stock is considered the best of invest ments. Our management is first-class. Our Location cannot be beaten

MILLIONS PAID IN THE PAST BILLIONS IN THE FUTURE. During the past ten years those oil stocks listed o the California Oil Exchange have paid dividends aggregating about $25,000,000. Many of the large dividend-paying companies, however, have never listed their stocks, so that the total of the dividends paid by California oil companies in the past would, no doubt, reach nearly the gigantic sum of $50,000,000. A few years ago the Union Oil "Company of California was organized. It then owned some unimportant properties in the oil fields of Ventura county. The beginning was small indeed. Ten years ago it is said that a controlling interest in the company was sold for $300,000. TODAY THE UNION OIL COMPANY HAS ASSETS VALUED AT ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS- Consider the immense possibilities of the industry that will permit of such an enormous growth in ten years! What other argument need be offered a3 to the opportunities of the oil industry in California? And what of the Associated Oil Company? Here, too, we find an Instance of stupendous growth within a few short years, and today the Associated Oil Company owns, assets worth many, many millions none one can tell how much. Stock in the Kern Oil company originally sold at 25 cents per shre. It has since paid dividends of $23.00 per share, and is now worth several times the original price. From an oil publication we take the following figures: $250000 invested in stock of the New York Oil Company has since been worth $10,000$250.00 bought 2,500 shares of Lucile Oil Co. stock. , It is today worth $25,000. $250.00 invested in Home Oil Company has since had a value of $100,000. $250.00 Invested in Alcalde Oil would since have bought $75,000. $250.00 invested In stock of the Central Oil Company grew to be worth $45,000. i Stock which sold only a few months ago in -the Palmer Oil company at 25 cents p?r share today Is worth $1.35 per share. Stock that two months ago in the California National Crude Oil company sold for 20 cents per share is now selling at 80 cents. Monte Cristo, Peerless, Caribou, Pinal, San Francisco and McKittrick and many, many others have made original stockholders enormous profits. In fact, a large portion of the oil stocks listed on the California Oil Exchange are paying dividends steadily.

Thus we see what has been accomplished. Yet it is conceded that conditions are better for going into California oil investments now than ever before, and while the profits of the past have been very large, those of the future will be even greater. Considering all of the above facts, it must be conceded that the conditions are remarkable, that the investment opportunities are unprecedented, and whether you have one hundred, one thousand or one hundred thousand dollars to invest, CALIFORNIA OIL IS THE PLACE TO PUT IT RIGHT NOWSuch remarkable conditions, however, cannot continue. The Standard Oil Company, first to see and appreciate the situation, has recently been purchasing enormous tracts of prospective oil territory. Much proven ground ha salso been purchased. They are investing millions of dollars today in California oil lands. Other large corporations are doing likewise. French and English syndicates are buying heavily of California oil lands. Individual citizens are buylnng to the limit of their financial abilty. In a few years the condtions will have changed entirely, but truly the GREATEST INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES OF THIS GENERATION WILL BE FOUND IN CALIFORNIA OIL DURNG THE COMING ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS. To make the most of these opportunities immediate and aggressive action is absolutely necessary. Let us adduce some actual figures as to what can be done. At the present moment we know of a particular , 40-acre block of oil ground which can be purchased for $2,000 per acre. There is nothing uncertain about this property. It has been proven absolutely that, at a depth of from 1,000 to 1,200 feet, the oil sands will be encountered, which will show a thickness of from 150 to 200 feet, making the wells, when completed, from 1,200 to 1,400 feet deep. That each of these wells will produce from 100 to 300 barrels of oil per day is AN ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. The wells will cost not more than $10,000 each, and can probably be drilled for $7,000 each. The cost of forty acres at $2,000 per acre is $40,000. To drill twenty wells on this ground, being one well to each two acres, would cost not to exceed $200,000, and in all ' probability would cost not more than $125,000. Taking the higher figures, however, we find a total investment of $280,000. Not one of the wells will produce less than 100 bar

rels of oil per day, and some of them will produce 200 or even 300 barrels per day, possibly more. Taking the smallest figure, only 100 barrels per day as the average, the production for one year would amount to -C6,500 barrels for each well. Twenty wells would make the yearly production 730,000 barrels. This oil, after counting the cost of production and incidental expenses, should net 50 cents per barrel (certainly not less). THE NET INCOME FROM THE PROPERTY WOULD BE $365,000 PER YEAR, $85,000 MORE EACH YEAR THAN THE TOTAL INVESTMENT. The wells may be depended to do practically as well for ten years as they do the first year. The total Income at this rate for ten years would be $3,650,000, from an investment of only $280,000, and the wells would still have a life of many valuable years, leaving the holding at the end of ten years worth several times the amount of the original investment. The above figures are based upon present prices. It seems absolutely certain that within a few years the price of oil will be materially higher, in which event the profits would be proportionately greater. Bear In mind that these figures tell, not "what might be done," but "what actually can be done without possible doubt." Do such profits appeal to you? Perhaps you think these figures are pretty high. Look here! In the north end of the McKittrick district there are forty-two wells belonging to five companies whichare producing more than 20,000 barrels of oil per month, being an average of aproximately 5,000 barrels of oil per well each month, or a production of 60,000 barrels of oil from each well per year. This oil is selling at 60 cents per barrel, giving a gross income of $36,000 per well per year. This is not what "might" or "can" be done, but what ACTUALLY IS BEING DONE

TODAY. We use this one group of wells merely as an Illustration. Many similar illustrations might be given. I Do Such Profits Appeal To You? What, then, Is the net resnlt? What is . the situation with reference to the California oil investments today? Merely this: It la possible to buy ABSOLUTELY PROVEN OIL PROPERTY, about the value of which there can be no doubt, at a price that will permit of the necessary drilling expenditure, and pay a profit of from 50 per cent to 200 per cent per year upon the investment for many, many years to come. An investment which at the end of twelve months begins paying dividends of 50 to 200 per cent per year enhances' in value during that time from 300 per cent to 1,500 per cent. Such records, many of them, have been, are being, and will be made in California oil." DO SUCH PROFITS APPEAL TO YOU? An investigation covering several months' time, during which" we have gone into the matter very thoroughly, has disclosed to usthe facts as above set out. If you will take the time to make a similar investigation you will find them out for yourself. We want you to thoroughly consider these facts, and you cannot then fail to appreciate the Immense opportunities of California oil- It 9 upon these facts that we base our declaration that "THE GREATEST INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES OF THIS GENERATION ARE FOUND TODAY IN CALIFORNIA OIL." And the best buy in California oil that we know of today is the stock of the Calfornia National Crude Oil Company at 80 cents per share. You want it so buy today.
