WHO MADE THE OIL PRICES?
Interesting Facts Brought Out in the
Hearing at Dallae.
Dallas, Tex.—The making of oil
prices was probed by the state in the
hearing her of ita $£9,000,000 oil pen-
alty case.
The Btate sought to show that so
far as the Magnolia Oil company of
Texas, a defendant, is concerned,
these prices to the Texas trade de
ponded on what the Magnolia can get
from marketing its products outside
of Texas with Standard Oil concerns.
A. C. Eble, bead of the Magnolia’s
sales department,, was on the stand
nil day. The defense's first oppor-
tunity c&mo on his cross-examination
wlieft Ebl© testified he had purchased
some barrels for the Magnolia from
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey because he considered them
the best in the market and soma tank
wagons from the Standard Oil of In-
diana, because they were cheapest
and most suitable. Ho said when he
organized the Magnolia’s selling de-
partment two years ago he sought to
get Standard Oil products to market
in Texas, because ho knew there wub
a demand for them.

Bill Sweeney of Boston Braves.
William J. Sweeney, the star second baseman of the- Boston Nationals,
was born in Covington, Ky., March 6, 1886. He was a student at the St.
I ianciB Xavier college, Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1902 to 1904, and a member
of the college baseball nine. “Bill” was slated for the priesthood, but stuck
to baseball instead, and in the fall of 1904 joined the Toledo club.. The fol-
lowing season found him with the Hock Island, 111., team, the Islanders selling
I him to the Portland club of the Pacific coast league, wherq he played in 1906.
He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs lor the season of 1907, and after taking
part in fifty-seven games was traded by the Cubs to Boston for Del Howard.
I Since joining the Braves Sweeney has become one of the greatest ball players
in the game. He is not only one of the best guardians of the second station,
but is a corking good hitter as well. In 1911 he had a batting average of .314.
and in 1912 he stood third in the National league list with a batting average of
344.
BESCHER STAR BASE RJNNER
Cincinnati Reds’ Outfielder Not Only
Possesses Speed, but Knows
How to Use It.
Even though they have not w’on any
: pennants, the Reds have laid claim for
several years to ocssessing one Na-
tional league champion, and no fan
[around the circuit has disagreed with
(them in the contention that Bob Bes-
loher is the best base runner in the old
organization.
Beecher anu- apeed are synonymous,
but mere ability to get over the ground
j Is not the only quality of which Bes-
cher can boast. It isn't always the
fastest man that steals the most bases
Some players who can fairly fly fail to
purloin as many cushions in a season
as others whom ttyey could easily dis-
tance in a sporting contest.
Other things besides speed are need-
ed, and Bescher combines then, all, be
cause he is not only fast, hut has

Bob Bescher.
splendid judgment, is able to get the
all-important lead off a base and is
such a clever slider that he reaches
the goal many times through evading
the touch of the man with the hall.
Bescher did not get a chance to
steal many bases when he first joined
the Reds in 1908, but the following sea-
son he got busy and he has been at it
ever since, committing larceny 54
times in 1909, 70 times in 1910; 80
times (his highest mark) 1911, ana
67 times last year
Cincinnati fans believe he will ‘do
better than ever this year, and his ef-
forts to surpass his previous achieve-
ments will be watched with much in-
terest.
