had made all the rest of his life.
Usually the most reliable man on the
team, he seemed utterly unable to
stop a grounder or hold a fly. A sur
prise was expressed when he missed
his first one, a groan went up when
the second bobble occurred but when
he missed his fourth or fifth chance,
the faithful out on the bleachers were
in state Of total paralysis. It may
never happen again. Charlie himself
could not explain it and the little
chap felt his failure more keenly than
any one else.
But why prolong the details Of the
agony? Five in the first, three in the
second and one run in the third, nine
in all. That was the extent Of the
scoring done by the visitors. For ff-
teen innings, they did not get an
other man home After the third, the
Power boys frightened up and showed
the kind of ball they are capable of
playing. Little Smithy got his curves
to working and his fielders got into
the game. But work as hard as they
might, they could not overcome that
murderous lead Mr.. Going, the Har-
lowton pitcher, kept going (don't
shoot and four runs was the sum
total Of the scoring done by Captain
Sweeney and his bunch. 1t was simply
an off day for the boys in blue but
they say twill not happen again.
Elks Get Sweet Revenge.
After an intermission of ten min
utes, the Elks lined up against the
sturdy warriors from the banks of the
Musselshell. 1t was one Of the pref
test contests imaginable. Frank
Carleton, who pitched for the Elks,
had everything. In eight of the nine
innings, not hit was made off Of his
delivery. In the sixth, two tiny
bingles were made but fast fielding
prevented any damage resulting from
tenn. Artie Baker, Lucus. Willard,
Haasch and Davis. who formed the
intleld, played superb ball The boys
| IN the outtleld were ready but had
few chances to distinguish themselves
tor Carleton would not permit any
balls to get out there.
The Elks got Mr. Goings goat il,
the first. Davis singled and Lucus
slammed out tremendous three bag
ger Ed scored a moment later on
klndschey's single. Lucus' two Dagger
in the third was largely responsible
for two more runs That was all that
was necessary for the visitors were
helpless before Frank Carleton's i'm
mense throwing. The boy had steam,
| curves, control, everything, in fact,
that was needed And Davis caught
him brilliantly. But two men got as
far as third. Fine business.
And be it said here and now. those
Harlowton boys are some bali play-
ers. In Going and Tabor, they have
a crack battery. and the rest of the
players are better than the average
amateurs. Also, they are clever fel-
lows to play with, taking defeat with
the best of grace.
The final score was 4 10 O., in favor
of the Elks.

Down on the banks of the swift
running Musselshell, under the brow
of a protecting hill, lies the town,
or mayhaps it's city now, of Har-
lowton. During the period Of its
brief existence, it has been unsung by
| fame and unsought by notoriety. 1t
| has ever pursued the even tenor of
| its way, adding a new railroad now
and then, big round house occasion
ally. Though slightly puffed abou,
the chest, somewhat susceptible to a
sudden cranial enlargement after a
slight infection from boomitis, Har-
low was, nevertheless "a peaceful,
quiet, well behaved little neighbor.
That they cherished for Lewistown
feelings Of only the most unquestion-
ed friendship, no one in this hub OF
central Montana ever doubted. That
the city Of the big round house was
but awaiting an opportunity to hand
her big sister, over here in the in
land Empire, Jovian jolt, was utter
ly undreamed Of. The idea that she
would slip one under Our guard, land
squarely on our solar plexus and leave
us gasping for breath, was looked up
on as an absurdity. That she could
do SO if such a pernicious mood hap
pened to be upon her, was held even
more ridiculous.
But we know better now. We have
felt the fangs Of her false friendship
! and quaffed the bitter dregs of her
poisoned potion. True, we turned
right around and gave her a genuine
spanking for it all and while that re-
lieved our feelings, it did not wipe
out entirely the memory of that first
wicked swipe.
With blood in their optics, the Har-
low ball team, chaperoned by their
manager, Dr.. Sam Campbell, came in
Saturday evening. They had sent in
word that since they were making the
trip, they would as soon play two
games as one. In other words, as
subsequently, disclosed, it was their
idea to make full meal of the Power
Mercantile team and then take on the
Elks as dessert.
The first game was called shortly
after O'Clock, with the stand and
bleachers loaded to the guards with
eNpectant fans. The visitors were al
husky looking fellows and soon dem
onstrated that they possess more than
a rudimentary grasp Of the great ma
tional pastime.
They went to bat first and, without
any premonitory sky rockets, set the
whole bunch Of fire works off at once
Without any false motions, whatso-
ever, they would step TIP to the plate
and slam the ball to far corners o1
the lot
And right here, it becomes our
painful duty to dwell for moment
on some unpleasant particulars. The
horrible catastrophe was not due SC
much to the swatting of the visitors
as to the miserable work by the Pow
er felders. Within a period of TWEEN,
ty-nine seconds, little Charlie Willard
made more errors at short than he

train across from Billings to Great

order to accommodate the Elks who
want to attend the state convention.
The Billings & Northern Railroad.
Great Falls Tribune: Announce
ment is made that the new railroad
connecting Great Falls with the Bur-
lington system near Billings will be
ready to run trains by the first Of
September, and this brings home to
the merchants and business men OF
Great Falls the fact that it is time t.,
be up and doing in preparation for
that event, and the securing of all the
great business advantages that it will
be possible to bring to this city.
There is splendid new territory
opened up by this line all the way
to its junction with the Burlington
system. The business men Of Great
Falls ought at once on the compile
ton OF the line to arrange for an ex-
cursion over its entire length in order
to see for themselves the magnitude
of the empire OF undevclopcd re.
sources it brings to their door. There
| is also the great Judith Basin coun-
try now brought nearer to the Falls
than to any other city Of its size.
Eventually our rail connections with
this part of the country will be still
more intimate. But the trade Of Fer
gus county is prize we'll worth tn
effort to win it right now. There was
a time when good deal of it came
to Great Falls. before rail communi-
cation with Helena diverted a large
part Of it. With the regular opera
ton Of the new line this city will be
in position to win that back again.
| But far more important than pres
ent trade advantages, considerable as
those may well be, is a call for Great
Falls business men to get in and aid
and assist in the development of the
future in the country along this new
line OF road The natural wealth OF
the country through which it passes
| has as yet been scarcely scratched
The future holds ont far greater
prizes than the present, and every
thing we can do to aid in the up
building of the country will come
back to us again multiplied Let us
get in touch with the people there and
assure them Of our enliphtcned sci
interest in their prosperity.
