Mann, minority leader of the house, is favorably mentioned as a possible Republican candidate for president in 1016. R o u g h N e c k B a s e b a l l An exhibition of genuine old- time, rough-,neck, out-law baseball was ’ given ”' oh the high school grounds in this city last Sunday afternoon in the game between Choteau and the rowdies and rough necks who wore Conrad uniforms. The players, be'it re membered. were not all residents of Conrad. One of the principal offenders was from Valier. Their dirty tactics and the foul and pro fane language used while on the grounds came near causing two or three riots. It is evident that Conrad had been instructed before leaving home to win the game at any cost, because they commenced their usual dirty work early in the game. No decision of the umpire was satisfactory to-them unless it was decidedly in Conrad’s favor. Three of Choteau’s^baseraen were wilfully, premeditately and ma liciously ’‘spiked” by the op posing players in their unfair, dirty and Conrad-like way of ‘‘winning the game” Burke, our second baseman, wa9 the first victim. He was spiked by one savage, while the latter was making a slide to reach the base from first. The injury was not on his left leg, where an un intentional spike would be most likely to occur, but was on the outside of the right leg, the point farthest away from the base run ner, and extended from just be low the knee to the top of the shoe. This shows that after runner had reached the bag be deliberately started about to “ put the fear of Conrad” in the Cho teau players. That’s the way they have been taught to win their games, if it is impossible to win them on the square. They never were, and possibly never will be “ on the square” in Con rad. They are not brought up that way. This savage showed his sportsmanlike and gentlemanly qualities in a couple of other in stances in the game. In a later raning he knocked up a 9hort fly, which wa9 being fielded by our third baseman. Instead of mak ing an effort to reach first, he stopped '.long enough at home to deliberately, throw his bat at the baseman, endeavoring to .clyseythe hall to be muffed.^ The bat struck the ground only a short distance in front o f the baseman. In the last inning, Powell, while coaching on the. third base line ran into the field and tried to pull the baseman off the bag. This is a truthful statement of what the “ hero” in the militia’s occupation of Butte resorted to to win the the game. But his efforts to win failed and he is a lucky man that he is not now a patient in some hospital. Only the good nature of the Choteau bunch, and the fact that they did not want to have the game end in a free-for- all fight saved him from the beat ing he was entitled to receive. For “ rough stuff” the captain and first baseman for Conrad, as well as their right fielder, were close seconds to the “ hero” and would-be senator above mention ed. Lack of 9pace prevents us from mentioning each inning. Windy and rainy weather, to gether with the continual argu- inq detracted considerably from the game, and most of the spec tators lost all interest in it. Base ball between the two towns has been killed for this season at least. Another game would not draw a corporal’s guard. Conrad’s work is too course. The score in detail, as kept by Scorer Spaulding, wa9 as follows: Choteau:—AB R H PO A E Buckley, 3b 4 0 0 3 2 0 Holmes, rf 4 2 3 0 0 0 3 0 1 14 $50 PRIZE FOR EDITORS Epworth League The Epworth League supper was Qa decided success. From 5 o ’clock until a lute hour the ap petizing meal was served to a 9teady crowd. The table was tastefully decorated in red and white carnations, the league color. About forty-five dollars was cleared. At this time the league washes to thank all those who were so kind in contributing food and money toward the supper. The white side entertained at Mrs. Ross Houck’s at then- monthly business meeting. Some very important business was transacted among which was the matter of missionary money and delegates to the Helena conven tion. It was voted to send $32 as our missionary apportionment for the year. Two delegates will be sent from the Epworth league: Miss Breneman and Ida Miller. In case of their inability to attend Wallace Coffee and Mildred For rest will go. Mrs. E. E. Craw ford will represent the Juniors. In case she cannot attend either Mrs. Lamka or Gladys Whitacre will substitute. Show your interest in the young folks by attending their Sunday evening devotional service?. They are worth it.
