Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
Bozeman. May lo.-The college, boys
did not have much difficulty in defeat
ing the high school boys of Butte in the
baseball game on Tuesday afternoon.
The captain OF the Bozeman team.
Reno Sales. did some excellent work
with his pitching. IL being a little too
well delivered for his opponents TO
make much Roadway or many runs.
Until after the fourth inning the Butte
boys played excellent ball. and showed
that they had had considerably more
practice than the Bozeman team. Their
main weak point was i'm the pitchers
box. and although they played a real
ly better game a the college boys
up to and including the fourth inning.
yet at that point they got demoralized
and went completely to pieces. The
home team went to the bat first. For
the home team c. Flaherty made two
home runs: W. ~Schabarker. two home
runs. and Caldwell. one home run. The
Butte team a no home runs. The
following Is a list of players:

A reception and dance was gotten up
for the benefit of the visitors by "A num-
Der of the young ladies of the college.
and the evening was pleasantly passed.
Arbor day passed of without any fes-
tivifies of any kim whatever. with the
exception OF the band turning out in
middle of the day for a few min
.utes Just before the ball game. But
the game itself was the browning fea-
ture of the day, and most of the citi-
zens who could left their business n
went out to witness the fun.
While the wal Is the only topic of the
day. and the farmers In the Immediate
vicinity of Bozeman come In as often
as possible 10 take a look at the daily
bulletins furnishd by the Standard, yet
there is great activity in agricultural
vacations just now. Flowing Is in
progress all over the valley. especially
i'm the spring grain section of the coun-
try. though. for hat matter, nearly all
the ranches raise some kind of spring
crops: but in the swami country n
middle part of the valley more spring
grain Is raised than anything else. The
outlook for winter wheat Is fairly good,
but there Is great need OF rain to dam
pen the ground. which has been dried
up by the eastern winds which have
prevailed for over a week. On the
whole. the outlook this season for crops
of all kinds at this time is very en-
c~ouraging. and should the weather he
favorable from this time on an abund-
ant harvest will be gathered i'm the Gal
latin valley again. Ali those ranchers
who held their wheat last fall are wish
ing they had more. n say that they
cannot make money any easier than
by sitting still and letting II double
itself. IL is an i'll wind that blows no
one any good. and the war with Spain.
while II is a little detrimental to that
country. is producing good results in
the Gallatin.
