sic Corner. DR.. Corner long
since learned to acquicsecc to the
admonition of Horace Greedy, "Go
West and grow up with the coun-
try" and is in search of location.
Mr.. Corner is a graduate of one Of
the best medical schools of st.
Louis. We gladly welcome him
here and would be glad if he would
establish IA practice in Missoula.
II. \. Price, of Bonner, Monta-
Ma, has severed his connection

II. \. Price writes us from
Washington that Gibbons Bros.
will clear, on their >. 400 ewes this
spring, So, 800 outside of all ex-

some that Walt Gibbons fed some
cattle on the Charlie Harrington

county. The flock of sheep
mentioned in this letter were win
tered near Ephrata, Washington,
and were not fed a mouthful out

winter in good flesh and COG ii
them dropped over 900 fine lambs.

I'VE have decided 10 pay no higher sal
aries than we can afford" said President
Ebbets yesterday, "and the men who are
holding out must come 10 our terms or
seek other fields elsewhere. If the play
ers can get more elsewhere they are well
come to get 1t. but we cannot give more
than what we have offered. In most
cases the salaries we have offered are
better than this year"
The players declare that the DETECTION
OF Mcclure, Donovan and Kitson does not
weaken their position in the least
il was reported the other day that
Willie Kceler had jumped TO the American
league. When approached on the sub
ject, Willie denied the accusation and
expressed his willingness TO bet anybody

tract. said that nc could not sign. owing
70 his agreement not 10 do 50 until all

IL is doubtful ii the deadlock will be

which had been arranged. were pulled of
for the delectation OF nearly 250 members
and contrary 10 the expectations proved
TO be exceedingly interesting.
In the open attraction Monk the
Newsboy" essayed a six-round contest
with Young McNerney OF Fox Point.
while In what proved 20 be the main
event, Jimmy Moran, also OF Fox Point.
was scheduled TO ravel six rounds with
Hugh Clancy OF Pawtucket. In the form
or battle The Monk and his opponent
went the entire distance and Referee STAN
ton Abbott called IL a draw, much to the
satisfaction OF the crowd
The last bout. however, did not go the
distance. Clancy proving too tough a
proposition for his slender vis-a-vis. Both
men showed up well in the opening period
and indications promised a contest OF the
red hot order. Moran was the taller and
had a slight advantage in reach but CLAN
cy was the more stockier or tfTg two and
IL looked as though he had the necessary
punch. HonOrs were easy in the first two,
but in the third Clancy showed his speed
and soon had tho Fox Point pug on

heart and hook on the jaw and Moran
all but out. but he hung on with desperate
tenacity and the bell saved him as he was
about to take n journey into oblivion.
Moran was groggy when he toed the
scratch for the fourth round. and il was
apparent that he would not go the limit
CLANCY went az him with avidity and soon
had him staggering around the ring In a

seven seconds and on getting up received
several hard blows I'm the vicinity OF his

effect and just az Moran was about to

gave the decision 10 Clancy.

OF course the tempest in a teapot, for
such II is compared with the bigger war
being waged between the National and
American leagues was preoipitated by the
demands OF the players for increased sal
aries.
Some time ago, when the manag cement
approached the old guard on the question
OF contracts for next year. IL was met
with a concerted demand for bigger SAL
aries. All the way down the line the
demands were SO peculiarly alike that II
was evident the players had held "A meet

Again the two working officials inter-

The men secured were Mcclure. Dono-

Captain Joe Kelley. and fanked by Willie
Eeeler and Bin Dahlen.
The players have agreed upon certain

offered the Brooklyn management first

Ebbets and Hanlon have refused to ac-

exists, which can only be broken by the
players accepting defeat.
The management declares that II has

players signed and the batch OF young

The management patched it's fences az
