NUMBER 49 Lost Both Games The Choteau baseball club was defeated twice in the games with the Montana B ’s. In the first game, played on Sunday, the B ’s won by a score of 11 to 6. Ken yon and Metz were the battery for the locals, while Goins and Davis officiated for the B’s. The official score showed a total of nine hits for Choteau while the B’s had twice that number to their credit. Choteau made six errors, to 1 for their opponents. The game was so much one-sided that it was uninteresting to the spectators. * The game on Monday was a slugging match from start to finish. Bee started in to pitch for the locals, but he lasted less than two innings. In the second frame he walked two men, struck two, thus forcing in a run, and per mitted so many safe hits that before the end of the session, after the B’s had scored six runs, he was taken out of the box. He was succeeded by “ Dad” Powell, who pitched a good game and un doubtedly would have won out if he had not been handicapped by the B’s eight runs in the first two innings. The final score stood 10 to 12 against Choteau. Phippen and Davis did the battery work for the B’<.

I left Choteau on the 5th day o f May, thinking that perhaps this season of the year would be an ideal time to dispose of my personal affects, which in time would deterioate in value. Con- quently I arrived in Sisseton, So. Dak., in due. time, but I was dis appointed when I found that the season was about two weeks be-- hind the country in and around Choteau. The weather here has been quite rainy, cool and windy. In fact I have seen more, and stronger, winds in the two weeks I have been here than I saw in the five months T was in the Teton valley, and those five months were in the winter season. Crops here have begun to look favorable. However, I am of the opinion that black rust will damage the wheat crop to an alarming extent, then again, the inclement weather is a serious draw back to corn pros pects. Much of the corn which has been planted seems to be rot ting in the ground on account of the wet and cold condition of the soil. Many people have came to 9ee •ne and get pointers concerning the great and only west, but ow ing to the fact that I was there only during the winter season I could not advise them fully, yet I could say to them that I had made up my mind not to face winds and hhzzards o f this country another winter. I expect to return home to Montana in the LINGUIST AND TEACHER AT TWELVE. near — - * * * ^ * ’»> j . * Jit* * * future and pass the summer there, Summary: Homo run—Orlet. Two base hits—Adamson.

The gov ernor is asked as president of the State Red Cross board to appeal to the generosity of the people of the state for gifts of money, corn, beans, rice and flour. In giving the appeal tc press, Governor said: “ There is nothing that I can add to give emphasis to the ur gency of the , need of the unfor tunate Mexican people. The citi zens of Montana are noted for their generous response to all worthy appeals, and I trust that in tnis instance they may give of their substance as the situation warrants. “ Contributions o f money may be sent to Edward J. Bowman of Anaconda, who is treasurer of the Montana Red Cross board, and who will promptly remit them to headquarters at Washington for application 2in such relief meas ures as the American Red Cross may institute.” The drawing for the free ticket to the Panama Exposition given by Jcs. Hirshberg & Co., was held at their store on the evening of June 1st. The winning num ber was 7648, which holds good for 30 days, then if the coupon is not presented at the store for redemption, the other coupons will be redeemed in order, 3457, 9327, 2134, 2802. then I could speak from personal knowledge. I think, no doubt, that there will be a goodly number of the people I have talked with visiting Choteau and vicinity during the present summer and fall, and a dollar to a cent they will settle in that country unless they are mar ried to cold winds and blizzards.
