MONTANA;!(MAY „28, ^91* NUMBER 48 i» d s t i %7 , *> Augusta Won Sunday’s - Game • - . Fifteen or twenty auto loads of ^boteau fans went to A,’\nsta fast Sunday to witness the base ball game between ’ Choteau and Augusta. The game was won by Augusta, 7 to 5. While Choteau lost, our hoys have no com plaints to make—the game being clean throughout, with no “ rag chewing’’ nor kicking at the de cisions of the umpires, neither was there any unfair nor un sportsmanlike tactics used by the opposing players, of which we have had many examples with other teams we have played in the past—notably Conrad. “ Dad” Powell started to pitch ■for Choteau, but evidently it was an off day for him. and during the fourth inning, after Augusta had got to clouting the ball all over the lot, he retired in favor of A1 Powers who held Augusta to two hits during the balance of the game. The score was: Memorial Day Augusta . ........AB R ir PO A E Gray, s s ............... ....... 3 0 i 0 3 1 Barrett. 2 b ......... ........ 3 1 0 o 3 0 Townsend, 3 b ...... 1 i 0 0 O Lord, l b ............... 0 i 8 0 o Carmichael, c ...... ........ 3 0 i 15 1 0 Powers.

Request Charles Bielenberg, of Deer Lodge, the patriotic instructor o f the G. A. R., department of Mon tana, has requested the publica tion in the Montanan of the fol lowing: “ It is requested by the public instructor of the department of Montana that Memorial Day be observed in each town in the state, and that on this day the flag be raised to half mast until noon, then to go to the top of staff until evening. That all bells be tolled for five minutes at noon, and that during the Me morial Day exercises the saloons remain closed.” Memorial Day is .a day. of. tears and smiles, of shadows, sunshine, regret and unhappiness. - It is a wonderful blending of joy and sorrow. The memories that come to thousands on this day often are bitter sweet. Yet Memorial Day is now looked forward to as one of the nation’s greatest days. It is a time for the performing of kindly deeds which appeal with remarkable .force to those who know of the day and its purposes. There are sad and sweet memories of those who have gone. There are smiles o f sympathetic under standing for all others who too are occupied in the same observ ance of the day. There is regret for the absence o f those in their last sleep. There is happiness in thiuking of the companionship enjoyed with them when on this sphere of activity. There is sor row .for those gone in the bloom of life. There is joy in the mem ory that all that possibly could be done was provided for them. It is a time that should stimulate those attributes of human char acter which make for a truer brotherhood, a finer comradeship, a' better friendship and nobler aims. It is a time for calling to mind the splendor of unselfishness, the blessing of genorosity and the en couragement of kind words and deeds. It is truly a beautiful, worthy and sacred occasion. It is to be regretted that the country at large is beginning to forget the sacred purposes of the day and that many regard it more as a holiday instead of a day set apart for the remembrance of those who gay« *V(;.r Jivest for their country.
