Morrissey's punches he has taken
something, for Lee can punch. He
showed this when he dropped John-

But boxing welters is a very
foolish thing for Hamp to do. He
is simply wasting himself. If he
would box in his legitimate class,
Hamp would not only last longer
but he would go farther. He nas

the day of the contest. Goldstein is
a pretty big lad to get down to
such a weight, and the chances are
he will not be able to make the
•poundage. He would be better at
llei pounds and the chances are he
will be nearer that weight than 112,
in which event the title will not be
at stake. The Filipino lad is tak-
ing a big chance with Goldstein but
it only shows that he is a real
champion and is not afraid to meet
the best.
Frankie Genaro of Brooklyn is
another tough customer whom the
Filipino will meet later. Still an-
other challenger is budy Taylor of
Chicago, who is hot on the trail of
the Orient lad. Taylor can make
the 112 pound notch nicely and is
certainly a worthy challenger.
PARIS, Nov. f).—Battling Siki,
dusky ruler of European heavy-
weights, is facing disqualification
as a fighter for using his fist last
night on Ferrand Guny, the man-
ager of Maurice Prunier, French
middleweight.
Siki was acting as a second for
Ercole Balzac, former French mid-
dleweight champion, and when Pru-

ated and took a swing at the vie- I jimmy Wilde, world s champion "fly

has the class if he would only get
out and show it at the right time.
He received a setback when Dave
Shade, welterweight, scored a tech-
nical knockout over him some time
ago. It is doubttul whether he
could repeat the trick. Pinky can
make the 135 notch and be strong.
White has never show n any inclin-
ation to meet the younger Mitchell.
Pinky gave Tendler one of the
hardest battles of his career and
wants to meet him again. He also
seeks a return bout w ith Jack Brit-
ton as does Brother Richie, who is
making a comeback. Ritchie has
offered to meet either Britton or
White at the Garden in New York
and it is possible that one of these
matches will be made.
Tommy O'Brien also seeks a
match with White, Tendler, Kan-
sas or Leonard. He fought Pinky
iMitchell some time ago and both
were suspended because of rough
work during the contest. It was
a pretty even battle, but bitterness
between the two caused the rough
stuff and the suspension. They
will meet again in Milwaukee and
the second contest promises to be
Just as bitterly fought, but with
less rough work. O'Brien also
wants to meet Joe Tiplitz in the
east, who once scored a technical
knockout over him during .war
times, which Tommy Bays he will
reverse or quit the game. O'Brien
has won all his battles in the mid-
west except the one with Mitchell
and that was in dispute by the
writers. Tommy has offered to
meet Dundee, Jackson, White, Kan-
sas, Marks or any one selected by
Tex Richard at the Garden, New
York, and they can set their own
terms for the match, which should
be pleasing news to the ears of the
garden promoter.

Johnson was quoted as hnvlng said

a working girl, and that a $17 wage
would supply her with luxuries,
are denounced by her as pure fab-
rication.
"I never made such statements,"
she asserts. "They are absolutely
false, and In no way represent my
views. The alleged interview was
published while I was on vacation.
Neither did I ever say, as that pre-
1 tended interview says, that worlt-
Ing giHs are extravagant or that
they do not know how to spend
their money." She declared that
the reporter who wrote the story
obtained a budget prepared by an
employer member of one of the
commission's wage boards and used
that as the basis for his article.
The budget was not accepted by
the wage board.

The middlewest is liable to fur-
nish some mighty strong contend-
ers for the lightweight crown dur-
ing the next year.
Benny Leonard has been a won-
derful little champion in the light-
weight division—one of the best
we have had during the past three
decades. There is a tim^, however,
when all champions must reach
the zenith of their careers and that
seems to be the case with Leonard.
No one doubts that he is still a
great fighter, but they are skeptic-
al about him making the limit of
135 pounds and being at his best.
That is why contenders are liable
to be more formidable now than
during the past two years.
The quick defeat of Sid Marks,
sensational Canadian lightweight,
by Charley White of Chicago, has
brought the latter into the lime-
light again as a contender for
Benny's crown. Charley has al-
ways been known as a hard punch-
er, but plow on his feet, and for
that reason not nearly so danger-
ous as some of the others with less
hitting power. At tlie age of 31
White is battling better than ever.
He should be matched with Lew
Tendler of Philadelphia over the
15-round route. That would de-
termine which of the two should go
against Leonard for a title match.
Tendler gave Benny a hard tussle
at Jersey City last summer and is
entitled to another go.
Aside from the above named two
there are others to be considered.
Pinky Mitchell and Richie Mitchell

O'Brien, the California lad, now of
Milwaukee, is looming up as a

Some Gas
That
Weils
Failed
History of the effort to obtain a supply of natural gas
sufficient for demands on us shows that we must not depend
on any one pool or any big wells. Only through the ability
to tap many pools and to utilize a large number of wells can
the supply be maintained. The discovery of a big gas well
does not necessarily mean it will ever deliver gas to our
customers.
Beat Us Out
Tako the Johnson Lowe well southeast of Stroud, for example.
It had an original flow of 44,000,000 cubic feet, with a rock pressure
of 800 pounds. We immediately laid an eight-inch pipe line for six
miles to get this supply. But by the time the pipeline was completed
the well had exhausted itself, and we never did get a foot of gas out
of what promised to be a big supply on which we spent a large sum.
The Big Ben Oil Company No. 4 well in the southwest quarter
of 35-14-11 had an open flow of 12,448,000 cubic feet at a pressure
of 775 pounds on February 5, 1920, when it was connected with our
lines, and on the very next day it exhausted itself, having delivered
into our mains but 3,539,000 feet of gas. Every effort was put forth
to resuscitate it, but all in vain.
Only Ninety Days
Over at Morris in December of 1921 there was an open flow from
fourteen wells of 96,600,000 feet In June, 1922, this field was gone
and we disconnected it. The longest that any of these wel.s delivered
gas was ninety days.
We could give many more instances to show the extra-hazardous
nature of this business. Is it unreasonable of us, in view of these, to
ask a rate that will enable us to connect more wells to our system/
When in ninety days a field is exhausted, how else are we to main-
tain your supply?
