Texas; Bill's Death
Conceded
AUSTIN. April 17. Sponsor*
of the administration bill to bring
all utilities under stringent state
regulation clung tenaciously Wed-
nesday to fading hope for final suc-
cess
Under debate three days in the
house the bill went over for further
consideration until Friday when
leaders trusted they could obtain Its
paa&age and send It belatedly to the
senate. They feared however. It wax
too late In the session for the bill to
get through a senate committee be
given floor consideration there end
have Us provisions agreed upon In
conference.
Death Predicted
Prediction that public utility reg-
ulation had been killed at this ses-
sion was made by Senator Tom De-
Berry of Bogata. The general utility
bill •• designed for the good ol the
people and not lor the utilities is
deed so lar as this session is con*
ceroed.” he aaid.
The bill underwent what its apon-
gors charged was a filibuster In the
house. Amendment after amendment
w as hurled at it. All regarded as ad-
verse were turned back but the
house consistently refused to cut off
debate to permit final passage. De-
bate. however was limited to three
minutes on each amendment but ap-
proximately 50 will be pending when
work on the bill is resumed.
The house speeded production to
clear its calendars ol local and un-
contested bills. In a night session 20
bills were pissed six of them on one
vote
Oil Bill
Among the bill* was one to aid
emorcemvni of oil ouu*ervatlon or-
der* of the Tex** Railroad commis-
sion by making forgery of permit*
to transport petroleum or it* prod-
uqgfc a misdemeanor. It was advoeat-
wir by the attorney general to per-
mit prosecution of persons using
fraudulent tenders to move oil prod-
uct*.
Another bill would throw more
strict regulations about absentee
voting. It could require aohentee vot-
er* to appear before a notary pub-
lic for identification and vote under
oath. Sponsors of the bill said they
bclleved hundred* of fraudulent ab-
sentee vote* were cast in last year*

Another Wildcat In
Hidalgo Makes Good
! Showing to Produce
MISSION. April 17. — Another
wildcat in western Hidalgo county
loomed large in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley oil spotlight Wed-
nesday after coring a likely sand
apparently carrying considerable
oil Just below 4.100 feet. This is
tha third producing horlson allow-
ing lor production m Hidalgo coun-
ty since September 1934. when the
Samfordyce fields discovery well
was completed.
About four miles northeast of the
Samfordyce field. Downey & Mor-
ton's No. 1 Osca Daskam. 450 feetj
from the east and 55 feet from the
south lines of the esst half of;
block 34 porcion 45 Ancient Jur- i
Irdlction of Reynoaa cored a sat-
urated sand beneath a gas sand
and hard lime break about 10 days I
ago. The sand record was: gas sand
at 4.090-4.100 feet hard lime at
4.100-03 feet and saturated sand at
4.090-10 feet. The test has been
shut down since coring the sand
while additional acreage was being
acquired with more acreage secur-
ed. the operators took another coret
Tuesday night the core barrel
containing about six feet of cav-
ings. containing considerable oil. j
and about eight inches of the sand
The latter was badly burned from
coring but still earned an excellent
odor of both gas and oil Oil was
squeezed by hand from hunks of
the cavings In the core-barrel. It
Is expected that the sand will be|
dnll stem tested within the next
few days or as soon as repairs to
the boiler have been made.
The test was started early in 1933
by the Dajle L. Smith Oil com-
pany of McAllen and was drilled
to a total depth of 1.710 feet.
Downey & Morton took over the
hole on October 19. 1934. con tract-
| ing to carry It to 3.500 feet. The
test had been drilled a few feet at
a time during the past six months.
Importance of the showing Is notj
expected to be determined accur-
ately until the well can be tested
but a number of major company]
scouts and geologists watched the
core taken and examined the core
when it was removed from the bar-
rel. They concede good possibili-
ties for production. Ether cuts oil
from the sand almost instantly.
The showing climaxed 17 years
of drilling along the crest of a
peculiar ridge m Western Hidalgo
Oy the Dayle L Smith Oil company.
1 his is the thirteenth hole to be
started by the firm backed for
the most part by scores of Lower
Rio Grande Valley residents as
well as many persons in several of
the larges Texas cities. The Smith
firm has considerable acreage in
the immediate vicinity the com-
pany's affairs now being managed
by Mrs. Lyle L. Smith and her
sister. Mrs. Krause of McAllen.

nearly every operator and comple-
tion of either or both of the wild-

these faded into the background as
the mighty Ruth called into the
National League to lead the Boston
Braves out oi the financial wilder-
ness squared accounts with Carl
Hubbell slender southpaw of the
New York Giants.
Facing the left-hander lor the
first lime since the all-star game
last summer when he went down
swinging at a third strike Ruth
smacked Hubbell for a single and a
home run to account for all the
Braves' runs m a 4*2 victory over
-he Giants.
That was wlist 25.000 fans had
braved pneumonia to see and the
Babe didn't let them down.
Babe Catches One
They hadn't expected however
the 41-year-old home run master to
star afield but his sensational glove-
hand catch of Hub bell's low liner
in the fifth saved Ed Brandt and
the Braves some embarrassment.
Brandt gave up only five hits but
it was deiinlteiy the Baoes day.
At Chicago the world champion
SL Louis Cardinals saw their pen-
nant aspirations almost come to
grief on the first day of the cam-
paign.
A line drive from Freddy Lin fl-
at rom's bat struck Dirty Dean on the
leu leg Just above the ankle in tne
first inning and the great right-
hander was carried off the field. An
x-ray showed no broken bones but
the dizzy one probably will be out
for a week nursing a severe bruise.
The Cubs nicked Dizzy for one run
before he was rendered hors de com-
bat added two more off Bud Tin-
ning in the second and scored what
proved to be the winning run in a
4-3 victory off Ray Harrell in the
eighth.
Hartnett Hits Homer
Gabby Hartnett took care of the
Cubs' attack with a home run
double and tangle while Lon Wam-
i.ke staggered the route although
tagged for 12 hits. Only 15.500 brav-
ed the weather to see this battle.
Rounding out the full National
league program the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates concentrated a 14-hit attack
m two big innings to whip the Cin-
cinnati Reds 12-6. while Waite Hoyt
kept the Reds pretty well in con-
trol much to the displeasure of 27-
000 Redland fans. At Philadelphia
only 3.000 saw the Brooklyn Dodgers
shell the Phillies 13-3. behind Van
| Mungo's five-hit pitching.
The biggest crowd of the day. 29-
-87. swarmed into the Yankee Stad-
ium to see a brilliant pitching duel
between Wes Ferrell veteran rtght-
I hander of the Boston Red Sox and
[Vernon tGoofy> Gomez slim south-
paw of the Yankees.
Ferrell in mid-season form gave
the Ruth-less Yankees onlv two hits
faced only 29 men and wcm 1-0. Go-
mes-. losing to the Red Sox for the
first time In his capeer. was nicked
for only six hits by an error bv Lou
Gehng permitted the winning run
to score in the sixth.
Tank Hitting Weak
George Selkirk taking Ruth's old
plaee in right field got one of the
Yankee hits Gehrig the other. The
fielding features were taken care of
by Ellsworth Dahlgren. rookie first
baseman of the Red Sox. He saved
: Manager Joe Cronin from the em-
barrassment of three errors by bril-
liant stops on bad throws.
The only other American League
game produced a fine pitching duel
at St. Louis between Mel Harder
of the Cleveland Indians and Buck
Newsom of the Browns Glen Mvatt's
double finally broke this up with a
double In the 14th that gave the
Indians a 2-1 triumph. Harder al-
lowed only eight hits. Newsom 12.
Cold weather deferred the Inaug-
urals at Detroit with the champion
Tigers entertaining the Chicago
White Sox. and at Washington with
the Senators playing host to the
Phihdelphia Athletics until Wed-
nesday.

DIZZY STILL
TOP AS ‘COPY’
Great Dean Pooh-Poohs His
Injury In Opening
Contest
_
CHICAGO April 17. (JPi — The
baseball season already is old for
that great man of the pitching hill.
Jerome "Dizzy” Dean.
Although the 1935 campaign was
only a day old Wednesday. Dizzy
already has had more experiences
attracted more attention and fur-
nished more headline copy than
many hard plugging players do In
a lifetime of toil.
He has been fmed $100 for miss-
ing a train.
He has been on the carpet before
Kenesaw Mountain Landis com-
missioner of baseball.
He has been mowed down by a
batted ball and rushed with all
the dramatic flourishes to a hos-
pital.
So all Dizzy has left to do to re-
tain his headline average for the
year is to win 30 games again for
the St. Louis Cardinals and repeat
his world series glory In the fall.
Maybe he will and maybe he
wont but you can depend on one
thing—Dizzy’s got the same spirit
probably more than he had last
year when his tireless right arm
hauled the Cards from down yon-
der to baseball fame.
Dizzy's left leg was sore Wed-
nesday. A big red spot showed
where It had been painfully bruised
from a line drive off Freddie Llnd-
strom’s bat in the very first inning
of his seasonal debut against the
Cubs Tuesday. His physician
trainer and Manager Frankie
Frisch told him he was out of the
game for a week but Ol’ Diz
wouldn’t listen.
‘Say 111 be back on that hill
tomorrow and make the Cubs pay
for this.” he told Manager Frisch.!
“Diz has got to do something about (
this right away. When they start
hitting line drives back at me. I’ve
pot to get some revenge. Yes sir
I’ll pitch and beat ’em Thursday
and I’ll pitch and win one game
against Pittsburgh this trip. too.
Ootta’ keep up my winning aver-
age and have two in the old sack
by the time I get back to St.
Looey.”
“Aw. you’ll be lucky to get back
in a wer’r" Frisch chimed in.
“Yeah? Well you watch!"
