FOODFOR THE FANSE

The Pipestone Indians defeated
Lancaster Tuesday by a score Of
1 to 0. The red men had Mallory,
their crack spit ball artist, on the
slab and all the locals got from
his assortment of benders was three
hits. At that Piddington had the
best of him as the Indians got only
one hit and that the worst kind Of
a scratch. The one run of the
game was unearned being presented

stole second. Piddy went out
BeBoe to Beaulien.
The second was disastrous. Red
Cloud hit to speedy who threw high

third on the play and scored on
Fosters error. Standing Bear
struck out. In our half Pennock

Their manager writes that they
will only want $1OO'and expenses to
play Lancaster at the fair or they
will bring an opposing team along
for $3.50 90 purse. It's a shame to
hear of team wanting TO play SO
cheap. Well, they're not coming.

COUNTESS
is AFTER
PECCARIES
FAMOUS FRENCH DIAEA TO
SHOOT WILD HOGS
CELEBRATED INDIAN SCOUT Is
GUIDE IN CHIEF
Titled Huntress Heroine of Countless
Deeds of VaIor in Many Fields.
Crack Shot with

A real live French countess and an
old Indian scout with rep as long as
his sixty three years, but still live
one at that. This is the startling COM
bination for tie most peculiar hunting
expedition ever seen in this part of the
country.
Countess de st. Pierre, blue blood
and a dead shot, started out from the
Alexandria hotel yesterday morning
accompanied by Monte" known to his
tory as Capt. Charles A. Montgomery,
for Yuma, where the couple Will get an
outfit and then go after peccaries at
the mouth of the Colorado river.
Monte is known to pioneer noun
taineers and plainsmen alike all over
the west, having become a natlonal
celebrity as an Indian scout during
thirty-four years of service for the
United States. He once had charge OF
the White Mountain and Tonic Basin
Indians, and few years ago he COM
manded Col. Billy Greene's rangers in
the Cananea country.
The countess brought letter written
by President Roosevelt along with her.
and 1t was because of the chief execu-
tive's interest that Monte finally con-
telle and again take up the wild and
strenuous life in the form of killing
Mexican wild hogs on the Colorado.
After the countess has shot peccaries
to her hearts content she and Monte
will take a long trip through Mexico
clear to Yucatan.
The countess is great sportswoman,
having hunted III the Canadian north
woods, where she got moose, elk and
three bears.
In Africa she hunted elephants, in
India she spent over a year in shooting
the rhinoceros and tiger.
Pref.rs Jungle to Salon
Although her ancient title and i'm
mense estates in France give her the
entree even to the houses of royalty,
the Countess de st. Pierre prefers the
jungle to the gilded salon.
The countess appeared yesterday in
dress of light gray. made of fine but
serviceable CLOTH with short skirt and
pockets that will be useful to the
feminine hunter.
This aristocratis Diana has longsd
for many years to meet and conquer
big game that would give her a tussle.
She has the fighting spirit of the true
sportsman and despses easy game.
The Countess de st. Pierre won the
admiration and respect of both Presi-
dent Roosevent and Governor Kibby of
Arizona through her hunting exploits.
and is armed with written credentials
from both of those famous sportsmen
vouching for her valor in the field.
Last Saturday she bought .30-.3O
at Hoegee's. and Mr.. Barber took her
out in the country and showed her how
to use the American make. Countess
de st. Pierre has always used French
model gun, which is of odd construc-
tion, and she expressed great delight
in the rapid action of the American
type.

BANNER DAY FOR DUCKS

ACCEPTS
L. A. HIGH TERMS
GREAT GAME TO BE PLAYED AT
FIESTA PARK CHRISTMAS
Conquerors of Chicago High to Play
Los Angeles for lnterschoIastic
Championship of the
United States

After writing letters and sending
kilograms for the last week the local
high has made arrangements for a
game with the Seattle high on Christ
mas day at Fiesta park. This game
will be for the championship of the
United States, as Seattle defeated the
Chicago bunch last season and have
not been defeated this year.
AS soon as the northern bunch de-
feated Berkeley they wrote down here
to arrange for game. But they would
not come here unless the local school
would guarantee them $1,000.
Walter Hempel came forward and
made an offer of $500 to the northern
ers, but they did not want to run any
risks and would not accept. AS the
game was to be played on Christmas or
New Years day the Tournament asso-
citation of Pasadena offered to back UP
the scheme and have the game at Tour
nament park on New Years day. This
was satisfactory to the school at first,
but a few days after the association
decided that 1t would take up too much
time to play decently long game and
they wanted the halves cut down to
fifteen minutes, so this scheme fell
through, as the local boys did not think
it was right to bring a team all that
distance and then only play fifteen
minute halves.
Coach Sorensen and Les Henry took
it upon their shoulders to stand the
financial end of the plan and wired
the north their terms. The northern
ers' answer arrived. in which they
agreed to come here for $1,000 or so
per cent of the net gate receipts.
Sorensen and Henry wired their accept
ance and set the date for Christmas
day.
The teams are about equal In
strength, having beaten every team
they have gone up against so far this
year. The Seattle bunch is rated as
being one of the fastest high school
,eams going, and they will give the
locals the scrap of their lives. The
team will leave the north about a week
rom next Sunday. so that they will
have a couple of days to rest up before
the game.
The local boys commenced a system
of training yesterday that they will
keep up until the game is over They
will also be out in practice every night
sa as to be in the best of condition

ALL STARS AND ANGELS

San Diego is relegated to the bushes

the bay city players.
According to the first arrangements
the boys fixed up little winter league
including Happy Hogans mob, the east
ern twinklers sojourning here, and the
two San Diego teams. But that's all Off
Hereafter saith the edict, the All Stars

have been abandoned, but every Sunday
bright and early at 2:30 o'clock the teams
will delight the heart of the frenzied fan
