HELENA VS.. THE JUNIORS

Butte juniors, the challenge of the lat
ter team for a game on that day hav-
ing been accepted. The home team
guarantees the expenses of the visitors
and the latter have commenced to prac-
tice in earnest in expectation of hard
game The makeup of the Helena team,
as IL will line IN the day of the game,
has been practically decided upon,
says the Independent 1t will weigh
1910 pounds, IL there are no changes.
That is an average of 149 1t is not as
heavy a team as II might be, but the
boys will compare well in experience
and the quality of the courage that
makes good football players, and they
are ready for hard tussle. 1t will not
be an easy victory, either way IL may
come out. for both sides are confident.
and they will work every day from
now until the day of the contest.
1t is probable that John Horsky, who
has played center for some time, and
is known as one of the best center
men in the line in Montana, will be in
chat place in the coming game. He
has played here three years, and was
one of the guards In the memorable
game between Helena and Butte the
time the score was a tie-0 to 0. Jack
Gleason and perhaps Hal Slemmons,
viii be the guards. the former at the
left of center and the latter at the
right. Gleason is player whose quail
titles have never been rated as high as
they ought to be, for he has been uni
formly quiet in his work, always at
tending to the duties of the position
he was placed in, and saying little
about IL. Slemmons is a student and a !
good player. one of the best. Clarence !
Davidson and Tip Davis will be the |
tackles. right and left. Davidson has
recently been playing half back, but |
In he
has played but one game with Helena,
that being the last one with the uni
Versity. The ends will be protected by |
Alex and Sam Goodman. Both play a |
good game, both are safe and sure |
tacklers. and are steady and always to |
be depended upon, which is a quality |
TO be sought in the selection of men |
for that place. above all others.
Behind the line will be AL Kinda, the |
best quarter in the state of his weight |
and experience, Ed Robertson, whose
ability to gain ground and to kick
make him a valuable man for full
back, and Ward Workman and Homer
Richards, right and left half backs
The last two men are the best run
ners in the team. The weights of the /
individual members. as selected in the |
above list, will be: Horsky 40, Glea-
son 155, Slemons $50. Davis las. David |
son $50, Sam Goodman 1876. Alex Good |
man 140, Kinda 1876. Robertson 100.
Workman 150 and Richards $50: total |
1,640; average. 149 Ill
There will be good material for the
selection of substitues-plenty of H.
There are Lynn Marsh and Asa Fisk
for the line and Frank fitzpatrick, who
plays either way. And there are 9TH
ers, yet to be chosen. but willing to
go with the team to Butte If the occa-
sion requires
The Helena team had a challenge
open for the Anacondans, but the lat
ter did not accept. IL in time That
game may come off at later date and
II II does the people of Helena will
nave an opportunity to see 1t, for IL
will be here.
IL is stated that James Gordon Rem
nett has proposed to Henry Fleschman
or Berlin to match either Autrain or
Helen Leyburn against any trotter in
fIelschman's stable, the match to come
on on an American track Mr.. Bennett
lays odds of $4,000 to $4,000. or $40. 900
10 $1,000.
Dan McPhee says in a letter to the
Horse Review that there is a rumor TO
me eenct that the four witnesses Bob
hneebs took over with him will find
themselves in serious trouble. McPhee
reports bright prospect for trotting in
austria this year. n new track has
been established at Budapest, Hungary
and there will be over 500. 900 hung up
IN purses. Mr.. McPhee stands fourth
IN the list of winning stables i'm Aus
tria, being credited with about SO 600
kronen. He has some very promising !
young horses I'm training. and expects
TO do well this year.
Lee Shaner will be seen on the Mon
