rom Thursdays Daily Gazette. NJ
Tomorrow Manager Jack" Shustery
will try out his baseball material at
hand and decide upon what is needed
to strengthen the team and make it
fit to enter the ace for the penant.
His players will then go against the
Indians from the Crow reservation,
and they say they are dandies. At
all events it is believed they are
strong enough to afford Jack" an ex-
cel1ent opportunity to size up his own
men and learn where the weak spots
are in his aggregation.
The board of control met last night
and practically settled all prelim-
inaries for opening the season. About
the first thing done was to sign
Shuster for four months and make
him absolute master Of the team. He
was given full authority to engage
players and discharge them and what
ever he does in this respect will re-
ceive the endorsement Of the board. !
He has informed the board that
from what he has been able to learn
so far/ after putting the local men
through their PAGES, he believes it
viii be necessary to sign only three
rev men, as he thinks he can find
enough among the home men to fill
out. a 5s.
Harker was elected assistant to
Shuster and will have charge Of the
matter of scheduling games and ar
ranging matches, etc.
Because of it's size and the liberal
manner in which it has always pat
ronized the game it was decided to
play no fewer than six Or eight games
in this city each month. The remain
ing games will be apportioned among
the other towns of the prospective
league. Sheridan has written that it
has a team Of crack-a-jacks and is
anxious to come into the Eastern
Montana league and promises good
support on it's home grounds. Liv-
ingston is another town that is eager
to get into a fast crowd and has chal-
lenged Billings for a game a week
from next Sunday.
But to return to the matter of the
boards meeting of last night: In
view of the fact that the ladies are
locked to for a goodly share of patron
age it was decided to make matters
as agreeable for them as possible,
and in Difference to their feelings the
board voted unanimously that no in
~toxicating liquors will be permitted
to be sold on the grounds. 1t was
also partially decided that when the
season shall have been fairly opened
there will be two or three "ladies' :
days each month; that is on those
days the ladies will be admitted free.
On all other days am admission fee
Of 25 cents will be charged. Men
must pay SO cents, and there will be
no mems" days, either. ~
Men and teams are at work on the
grounds and it is expected that they
will be in 1rstclass condition tomor-
row. Work will be continued until
the park is as good as it "a be made
and many modern improvements will
be added before the season is much
older.
In order not to interfere with the
memorial exercises earlier in the day
tomorrow's game will not begin I'm.
til 3 O'Clock.

Helplessness OF Mankind.
The tyranny of littleness" is the
cruel despotism not Of one master, but
of multitude of small ones. Witness
the ironclad sway which any sovereign
ruler of the kitchen may WELD over n
helpless household What happiness or
misery is bestowed lightly by one who
turns a toaster or brews u pot of cof-
fee!
We are all slaves to milliners and
tailors. The milkman holds us helpless
in his clutches. The chore man orders
us about The maid of all work beck
ons, and we follow. We bow and
scrape before the naughty plumber.
we who would strike down mon
archs and measure swords with min
listers of finance, what sorry figures
we cut in the community if sighted by
the laundrymen! We scarce can hold
our own against n surly railway Dor
ter, and it is but by the courtesy of
Master Boots that we emerge from
our hotel apart-rent. And who shall
stand before the overwhelming power
vested in an offended waiter? We
cannot even mount a trolley car If the
conductor and motorman choose to ig-
more us.
The man who rules the Stock EX-
change cannot rest at night because an
infants voice banishes dreams. He is
victim to the insect world. Who
will abolish the tyranny of flies and of
mosquitoes:
Behold the tyranny of horses, dogs
and cats. to which the great majority
of mortals submit without a murmur.
What master is as eXncting as a tight
shoe or n torturing collar? y parrot
or a pet canary can sadly try mems
souls! Yes. things are in the saddle

Who will do justice to the tyranny
Of the depraved inanimate taskmasters?

glove, a handkerchief, n glass slipper,
what things TO conjure With Slaves

Ali, the supremacy OF trivial things,
that one real tyranny to which we all
bow down. Is there no hope that we
may some day throw off the heavy
yoke? Well is it for us to mediate
upon this vital problem which touches
each so closely. And as we mediate
we may grow wise enough to break

that hold us spiritless and helpless in
