agreed statement of facts.
In the two innings that we're played
Billings demonstrated its superiority
over Red Lodge, not SO much, perhaps,
at the bat, but by playing an errorless
game in the field. While Red Lodge
had no trouble in getting onto Harker's
curves, they found it impossible to hit
safe and made errors in the field in the
two short innings which gave to Billings
all four of their runs. Exploited in de.
tail the two innings were played as fol
lows:
With Red Lodge to bat Lloyd went
out on grounder to first, Rose flew out
on long, high fly to center, Corbin
made safe single and Storey retired
the nine by fouling out to second.
For Billings, Smalley struck out, Don
ovan singled, Kelly famed and Shuster
was hit by pitched ball and took first.
Dwyer then went to bat and sent the
ball into the sky just inside Of first base.
Instead Of permitting Perham on first to
pull down the sphere Rose ran from sec
ond and got under the ball, which land
ed squarely in his NIT and bounded out,
while Donovan and Shuster scored. A
second later Freeman made a two base
hit and brought Dwyer home. Demo
ling put long liner to right, but was
caught at third by Corbin's brilliant
pick up, but not before Freeman had
scored. These four runs were directly
chargeable to Roses muff Of Dwyer's
fly, for at that time there we're two outs
and but for this error no runs would
have been made.
In the first half of the second Perham
for Red Lodge flew out to second, Burns
was retired on grounder to second te
first and James Fleming also went out
on grounder to second to first.
Harker for Billings went to his base
on balls, Stout hit grounder to Rose
to Perham, Smalley famed and Donovan
sent grounder to short and took first
on Burns tumble. Rose here redeemed
himself in a splendid throw to home
thus catching Harker, while at the same
time watching Donovan dancing be
tween first and second.
Then it was that the Billings captain
made kick against the umpire's decis
ion, claiming that strikes were being
called on the Billings batters when the,
were balls. Shuster contended that Bill
lings had right to demand change o1
umpires but this the captain Of tho Rec
Lodge club denied, telling Shuster thai
the game would have to progress with
Mr.. Fox as umpire or else cease. Ane
thus the game ended.

Little Court of Yesterday BY
Minnie Reid French The Abbey Press
New York, S1-25
A Little Court Of Yesterday is novel
the theme of which relates to the pres
ent situation of the so-caIled ''aristocra-
Cyl of oid Virginia.
It abounds in humor, Is written in an
easy, flowing style. and is altogether a
departure from the conventional Southern
story. 1t can be clearly seen that Mrs.
French, being of Virginia ancestry her
self. inherits a sympathy for the broken
idols and old traditions so dear to the
Southern heart and often the smile but
hides a tear. The story has for its set
ting an old historic mansion of colonial
t.te. and running through the pages as
an nndcrcurrent there is a, love-story
which reaches its climax in the last chap
ter. The Dock is unusually dainty and at
tra ctive.
Minnie Reid French was born In Sum-
mers county, West Virginia, November
q. 1875. At sixteen she graduated from
the Concord State Normal School, Ath-
cns, w. Va. and afterwards con-
rccted with that institution as teacher.

The judge came prancins down the

And spoke to Maud as he drew his

Alas for the Judge. alas for the maid.
