B. Jones, well known Los Angeles warehouse owner, prefers to have one of the "big four" handle the proposed oil leasing pool if it is organized at tomorrow night's meeting in Cypress, an apparently authentic report today declared. Jones doesn't feel equal swinging the whole project himself, and his only object in organizing owners and lease-holders is to prevent the Cypress field, if SON OF BRITAIN'S PREMIER SEEKING PARLIAMENT SEAT TILDEN MAY GRACE INTO CUP SEAT By DAVIS J. WALS (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May $—Hallowed atmosphere in lawn tennis is played, or sometimes mismanaged the intimation today that Tilden II, stormy petrel or ternal policles, would be to favor in time to appease Davis cup series for the States. Tilden, affronted by the writer rule, and Holcombe report on the subject has his services null for thatular occasion, but the gings are that all will serene. It is said that he will have to return to the team and he will do just that. The report was neitherized nor commented upon; ficial circles but the class been made that, behind the executive authority is now ward a definite end. That, it is declared, with the form of a special meet the United States Law Association in toto and the same will take place not later one month from this date. Pro-Tilden sentiment crusing influential quarters in player-writers from lawn after January 1, next. Clubs and tennis sections out the county are going on pro and ceil, on the Tilden corner and officials are being to compromise with the Tilden ment by permitting men wigan tennis writing before the er-writer business was co-invite writing their pieces without surcense. Unfortunately this can lone, even if the executive mittee was so inclined. The mittee was instructed by the national meeting to enforce tuesd and cannot do otherwise with the consent of the nation. The Gaddle people, whose principal backer is Charles T. B. Jones, well known Los Angeles warehouse owner, prefers to have one of the "big four" handle the proposed oil leasing pool if it is organized at tomorrow night's meeting in Cypress, an apparently authentic report today declared. Jones doesn't feel equal swinging the whole project himself, and his only object in organizing owners and lease-holders is to prevent the Cypress field, if one materializes, from becoming a rabbit warren of waste production. Robert R. Farrar, Jones' attorney, will be the principal speaker again. "Everybody's waiting for the Gaddie well now," said Hugh Connor, Los Alamitos postmaster and owner with associates of many hundreds of possible oil acres there. Aside from the fact that the Shell Oil Co. continues steadily to drill in its second well, the one which replaced the first that was ruined with gas explosions, there is nothing new in the Los Alamitos or Seal Beach oil situation. No more leasing has taken place. Leasing at Cypress also is still slow, awaiting further development. Jones, thru his aides, has asked that no leasing be done pending the formation of the pool. Jones is trying to hold on to all the acreage he has and he and his associates are said to have 700 acres all told. The Valencia Oil Co.'s 100 acres, leasing of which depended upon drilling soon after papers were signed, is slowly going back to the owners. An official of the Gaddie-Jones group was quoted today as saying that the Midas Oil Co. might yet drill on the 100 acres he had sub-leased. There was much excitement yesterday when a report went around that the first of the three Westminster wells had struck oil, bringing in 5000 barrels a day. This well is down only a few hundred feet as yet and oil is very unlikely. TONKIN JOINS IN HUNT FOR MARTIN SAN FRANCISCO, May 8.—Lieutenant Earle S.

Young MacDonald is a student in Queen's College, Oxford, and is dividing his time between his studies and the stump. EQUIP GYMS THRU SEIZED STILLS Chicago, May 3.—If "bootleggers" and manufacturers of "white mule" who ply their trade near the Shakespeare avenue police station feel that the dry squad is overzealous, it may be explained by the fact that the men assigned to that station are getting a lot more than "glory" and that feeling of duty well performed whenever they "pinch" a still. By selling junk seized in moonshine raids they have cleared enough money to equip fully the station gymnasium with new apparatus. Captain Patrick Harding obtained permission to sell the old copper and bottles that had been confiscated during the mopping-up raids.

Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 8 — From the allowed atmosphere in which own tennis is played, discussed and sometimes mismanaged, came the intimation today that William Hilden II, stormy petrel of its normal policies, would be returned favor in time to appear in the Davis cup series for the United States. Hilden, affronted by the player writer rule, and Holcombe Ward's report on the subject has declared a services null for that particular occasion, but the good tidges are that all will soon be gone. It is said that he will be asked return to the team and that will do just that. The report was neither recognized nor commented upon in critical circles but the claim has been made that behind the scenic executive authority is moving toward a definite end. That, it is declared, will take the form of a special meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis Association in toto and that the one will take place not later than the month from this date.

Unfortunately this cannot occur even if the executive committee was so inclined.

The state commissioner is being instructed by the national association to enforce the rule that cannot de-otherwise without consent of the national association. Therefore it is asserted that another meeting of the association is necessary, not to say in-table. The opinion of those on both sides of the tense is almost unanimous that the meeting will take place long in advance of the Davis challenge round. It is significant that the meeting is being planned far enough in advance of the matches for Tilden to prepare himself for an adequate play of Tilden tennis on the occasion in question.

Classified Ads Bring The fact that there is a long campaign ahead is taken into consideration in this column whenever any discussion as to the merits of the big league ball clubs is started. With that in mind we'd like to point out several indications drawn from the first few games of the season in the American and National circuits. The Giant pitching staff seems more than able to carry the burden wished on it—that if stemming the opposing tide while the Giant sluggers do dire damage. The team generally looks stronger, than it did last season. The Cubs, minus Charley Holocher's services, are startling the old league with their slugging, work on the bases and pitching. They look now like a tough combination and one that will have something to say in the race. The Detroit Tigers, getting the superb pitching that Manager Cobb predicted, are going great guns. Cobb said not a word too much in praise of young Whitehill, who coped his first games in handy style. The Indians are simply getting a tough break. Their pitchers have come through but they couldn't assemble their hits in the first few games. Scattered hits send in few runs. The Braves, while not shocking the league, do show earmarks of becoming a better ball club than the Hub entry in the old league was last year. The Yankees right now are bearing out some prophecies regarding their tendency to falter. So fan Huggins' pitching has not even approached the class of hurling the hard-last season. Connie Mack's getting the pitching. Eddie Rommel is himself. Haimach is living up to advice notices. Simmons, Strand and Bishop are delivering that outfit! The first freak play for the "book" is here recited. It was pulled by the Giant first sacd 7th George Kelly, who, in the innning of a recent game between the Giants and Braves, charged with an error and credited with a putout in course of single play. In that innning Casey Stengel hit to Kelly, who fumbled and followed his fumble with a wild toss past Jack Bentley, who had rumbled over to cover the bag. Stengel, rounding the bag, turned to the left preparatory to dashing for second base, but headed back to first when he saw that Hank Gowdy, backing up, had recovered the ball. Gowdy pegged quickly to Kelly, who pinned the pellet on Casey before he could reach the bag. Next! New York fans speak highly of the umpiring of Monroe Sweeney, one of the newcomers in arbiting circles in the big show. His work in the early games the Giants played at home was given much attention. That J. S. Ward, Kentucky turfman, has plenty of confidence in his horse, Wise Counselor, is indicated by the fact that he has entered this early Kentucky favorite in both the Preakness and the Kentucky event. The Preakness comes before the Louisville race. Ward believes that his horse can capture the $50,000 event over the Maryland track and repeat his victory a week later in the other classic. Ward laughs at critics who say his colt has grown so rapidly that it is now a bit too big and clumsy. Watch him run." Ward's answer. 4TH CLASS GIRLS WIN TRACK MEET Senior girls won the inter-class track meet last evening with 29 points. Freshmen followed second with 27; Juniors, third, 23, and Sophomores last, 11. The meet attracted much attention and the girls went in with a spirit to win. Mae Requarth, senior; Catherine Mene, freshmen, and Irma Young, junior, tied for individual honors, each making 10 points.

DOCTOR FAILS TO APPEAR IN COURT A mild sensation was created MATINEE PLEASES AT CALIFORNIA A rather large crow of ladies was at today's matinee at the California and not only did they see a rather wonderful show but they departed with a big smile and a souvenir spoon. Geo. Wichman opened the show with an amusing clay modeling act that more than pleased. He is a clever performer and should go far in his chosen profession. Hanley and Howard in "Little Mary Brown" came next with a shappy revue of harmony and wit that kept the house interested from start to finish. These stars of musical comedy are a welcome addition to any vaudeville stage. Chas. and Mayme Butters presented a daring and clever "Wire Walking" act that had the audience on edge throughout. Clifford and Leslie "The Merry Jesters" offered an amusing bit of chatter and song that met with instant approval. These clever artists are due for big time concerts and we wish them the best of luck. Allen's Cheyenne Minstrels in "Riding The Range of Mirth and Melody" presented a very clever little skit that covered a good deal of the life of a cowboy, delightfully entertaining bit of work that will carry them to bigger things in the future. "Jealous Husbands," the photoy play feature, starring Earl Williams, Jane Novak, Ben Alexander and Bull Montana provides a healthy argument for married folks. It is a story, intensely dramatic, but equally alive with action from start to finish. The Comedy, "Oh Girl!" had the house in an uproar throughout the filming. A Pathe Review and musical accompaniment by Aaron B. Fritz concluded a very good bill. Tomorrow night is "Gift Night" and Manager Thomas Ingram will again present the lucky ones with prizes valued at more than $100. Don't forget tomorrow night.

DOCTOR FAILS TO APPEAR IN COURT A mild sensation was created today when Dr." Rex Albrexton-dare, modern Ponce de Leon, on trial for practicing medicine without a license, failed to appear in court. His counsel, Los Angeles attorneys, were present. The judge received two notes from the defendant, one saying he was ill; despite his claim that his medicine is a "cureall". Another note gave the information that the "doctor" had missed his car by a hair's breadth. The trial was delayed until 1 p.m., a bench warrant was ordered if he failed to show up by that hour. However, he was on hand. An interveiling array of small and large bottles and boxes was on exhibition.
