London. May 28.--M. Pinchon, min
lister Of foreign affairs Of The French
republic. who is In London with Pres
ldent Fallieres, as interviewed this
evening and said that the president
Of France had been profoundly i'm
pressed with the magnificent recep-
ton accorded him in London.
1T Is in my eyes a most cheering
justification to those Of us who have
all their lives supported the policy Of
an understanding with Great Britain"
M. Pinchot said, "to see that policy
triumph today in the form of a close,
an, to adopt King Edwards phrase,
a permanent entente."
The enthusiastic welcome given to,
the president Of the French republic
proves that the entente cordiale has
definitely ended into the policies OF
two countries as one of the funda-
mental bases thereof. Not only Is
it considered by the two peoples and
by both governments as responding
to a necessity and as a logical devel-
opment of the history Of England and
France, but 1t is popular on both sides
OF the channel. The English and
French feel ~instinctively that this is
one OF the surest means Of counter
acting all combinations that might
interfere with the interests Of Great
Britain and France and threaten the
peace which both wish to have main
tanned, because 1t Is the first and fore
most Of their needs"

QHy Andrew Thornley,

Things Ire certainly coming along
nicely for the Billings Baseball league
after the class Of ball furnished the
fans by the Sugar company and Com.
mercial teams last Sunday, of which
you can hear favorable comments on
every corner. The people OF the city
are sitting up and taking notice that
this summer there Will be an inter.
esting ace for the city league cham
pionship.
johnson Of the Commercials last
Sunday pitcheu IN of the best games
of his career, which is enough to
hold almost any team helpless, and
besides that he had support that was
as nearly perfect as possible, every
man on the Commercial team playing
the game of his life.
For the Sugar company Husband
pitched his usual strong game, and II
he had been accorded as good support
as Johnson the two teams would per-
haps have been playing yet. The err
rors which the Sugar company team
are charged with came at the most
critical times and gave the CONNER
cials a lead which, In face Of John
sons great pitching, could not be
overcome.
Several sensational plays were
pulled OFF by both teams, both Johns
and Marsh giving their pitchers the
best of support at the receiving end
and killing many would-be base steal
ers. Doc Watkins played n Of the
prettiest games eve witnessed in
Billings. making some seemingly inn
possible plays and keeping the crowd
OF their feet half the time.
Bozeman Boys Fast Bunch.
While the Commercials and the
Sugar company teams were entertain
ing the home fans The Country Club
team played the fast Bozeman bunch
whirlwind game on the Bozeman
grounds, much to the enjoyment of
the loyal home rooters, who think
their team invincible. The Bozeman
team is about as fast an aggregation
as can be found in the state, most of
the men having had major league ex-
perience, and the way they opened
the eyes Of the Country Club team
with some Of their sensational plays
was something scandalous.
Arrangements are now under way
to bring Bozeman to Billings to take
the crack team of the city league,
furnishing a game that should bring
out the whole town.
Memorial day the Commercials will
play both the Country Club and the
Sugar company, while on the follow
ing day Sunday the Sugar company
will meet the Country Clubs.
