By E. J. HILLIGAN (Associated Press Staff Wiiter) DETROIT, Oct. 1.—Possessor 0f a dominating, yet magnetic person- ality and a contagious winning spirit, Mickey Cochrane literally drove a second-division-minded & group of baseball players to the! top of the American league. 1 Of the emotional type, COchrancs impulsive nature equipped him per-, fectly for the task of managing a young team anxious to follow a| leader who would be one of them— doing the things himself that he told them to do. Cochrane proved himself the perfect manager for the Detroit ball club. ‘Without the balance of Sw.nley Harris, whom he had succeeded, | and lacking the calculating quali-' ties of a Connie Mack, Cochrane plunged into the managership with such force that the entire squad knew at the first club meeting that there never would be any doubt as to who the boss might be. And the squad respected him for it and proceeded to prove itself something more than a set-up for first divis- ion clubs. | o5 1§ Loves To Win | e ot S A T T Like Ty Cobb in that he has fl 1ROWE ~COCHRANE passionate love for winning, Coch-| ‘When Mickey Cochrane tells rane imparted that spirit to hl: these ball players to do some- players.

Daily erude oil pro-| duction that was averaging 2,800,000 to 3,000,000 barrels has been re-| duced to an average of about 2,-| 400,000 barrels for the past year, | with <total legal and dllegal oil| probably not exceeding 2,500,000 {|barrels a day at any time. | Thousands of -“stripper” ' wells in| ofl fields that could not long have eontinued in ‘eompetition with new | gushers have been kept in opera- tion as a ‘result of better prices, it is estimated. While their total pro- duction is only about 500,000 bar-| rels ‘daily,' many ‘million barrels of oil which might have been lost with shutting down of the wells,| are beliéved to be in reserve be-! neath them., i Gasoline Purchase Plan ‘The oil administration has passed | through a bewildering labyrinth of moves and counter-moves to cope | with a mew “bootleg” product. Latest of these has been a gaso- line purchase plan, extended to all mountains, by which the large oil companies contract with small re- finers to take excess gasoline stocks off their hands and by which the| small refiners in .turn agree not to handle or process oil in excess of the allowable quotas. Designed to bolster as shaky| gasoline market which might be the forerunner of a rapid price de-| cline and resulting “gas wars,” the | :plan previously had been put into effect only in Texas. The major oil companies can hold the gasoline thus purcha.sed will neéd to buy about 1,700,000 barrels of excess gasoline during| the first month, it is estimated. ‘Hot Oil' Troublesome “Hot oil"—that produced in ex- cess of the allowable given each well—is the base of the trouble. Seme wells in the east Texas flush district - are -allowed a production of less than 1 per cent of their capacity, although the national average is 4 or 5 per cent of ca- pacity. Agents have uncovered secret Dipes tapping oil wells 50 feet be-| low the surface. “By passes” have beén found as far as five miles from the “master gates” where the flow is registered, and outlets ered even in bathrooms. This “hot oil” which can be bought at perhaps 15 or 20 cents a barrel and converted into gaso- Tine ‘t0 be dumped on the market |at 4 or 5 cents a-gallon, is reputed to' have made fortunes. | - 'To -‘Supreme Court Although - challenged at many into 1its chief ‘@ifficulty in Texas here ‘a group of 26 refiners operat- ing “skimming” ‘plants—which “boil out” the gasoline ‘whereas most large refinenies use the “cracking” ‘process—challenged ‘the validity of ‘produetion ‘control both in respect ‘to ‘interstate 'and intrastate com- & 'court ‘of three federal judges in Texas and in.an action before the District ‘of Columbia district court, but won before the east Texas dis- trict court.
