White Wings Make Rather Bad Show
ing in Double Header With Elec-
tric City Aggregation.
SHUT OUT SATURDAY
Evans Did Not Give Pride of In
land Empire a Look-in-Moore
Won in Contest Yesterday,

The Great Falls base ball team
came over Friday night and on Sat
urday and Sunday gave demonstra-
tions of the finer points of the great
national pastime at the expense OF
the famous White Wings of this city.
1t was bitter dose to swallow, two
decisive defeats and one of them
rammed down with a whitewash
brush, but there was nothing for the
locals, together with some hundreds
Of fans, to do but take their medicine
Denny Hargrove has gathered to-
gether a very fast aggregation and
it was no disgrace to the Lewistown
team, which is more or less de-
1noralized anyway, to be defeated by
his bunch
Saturday Game One-Sided.
The game Saturday afternoon was
too one-sided to be very interesting
at any stage. Young Evans, the visit
ing twirler, had the Kickapoo sign on
the White Wings and never gave
them many chances to score. He
received brilliant support from every
man behind him, thus making victory
double certain. Toresdahl, the little

nice article of ball but received most
discouraging backing, eleven big er-
rors being chalked up by his team
mates. He was not batted especially
hard and with an even break in field
ing, the game would have been a
real contest instead Of simply an ex-
hibiton of how the game should and
should not be played. The final score
was 8 to 0.
Some Better Sunday.
The game Sunday afternoon was
far better and the locals put up a
very credable exhibition, although
again out-classed in general work.
1t looked at times as if they might
pull through but the handicap Of no
practice and little opportunity to de-
velop hitting power and team work

The high sachems OF the G. o. P.

slate of candidates. The meeting was

NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER
Women Understand That Not Heroism
but Simply Love Prompted
Self Sacrifice.

A few days ago, in a somewhat
squalid neighborhood, a house caught
fire. The flames shot quickly through
the litter on the floor and the untidy
array Of clothing on the walls. A wom-
an talking with a neighbor ran scream
ing to the house and without an in
stant's hesitation sprang through the
smoking doorway into what already
seemed an inferno. A moment later
she staggered out, her hands and
face blackened and blistered and her
clothing on fire. In her arms she bore
her baby, safe from harm.
The afternoon papers came out with
the story, printed under headlines ex-
tolling this mothers heroism. Men
read it on street cars, and as their
eyes cleaned with the stirring of the
spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds
they said: That woman dared to do
what most men would be afraid to do"
But the mothers who read it at home
did not think that way. Perhaps the
danger to the baby the wrecking of
the home and the burns the woman
suffered brought moisture TO their
eyes, but to them the act was not one
of heroism-it was simply what any
natural mother, no matter how timid,
would do under the same circum-
stances Leader

since the Friday night before, and

that he might be carried thousands
of miles in the bOx.car, locked in, per-
maps, without water or food. | had
read of cases where bodies had been
found locked in cars on isolated sid
ings in the west, and my spirits went
down with every hour
His recovery was destined to be al
most as sudden as his disappearance,
and was due directly to the tramp
Alex had brought to Sunnyside. 1t
seems the man was grateful for his
release, and when he learned some
thing OF Halseys whereabouts from
another member of his fraternity
for it is a fraterplty-he was prompt
in letting us know
On Wednesday evening Mr. jamie
son, who had been down at the Arm
strong house trying to see Louise
and failing-was met near the gate at
Sunnyside by an individual precisely
as repulsive and unkempt as the one
Alex had captured. The man knew
the detective, and he gave him a
piece of dirty paper, on which was
scrawled the words: He's at City
hospital, townsville" The tramp who
brought the paper pretended to know
nothing, except this: The paper had
been passed along from a hobo" in
townsville, who seemed to know the

Jameson said it was an owl, and /
tried to believe him.
In the shadow of the Armstrong
granite shaft we stopped. l think the
doctor wanted to send me back.
ITS no place for a woman" l heard
him protesting angrily. But the de-
tective said something about wit

and felt my pulse.
Anyhow, l don't believe you're any
worse off here than you would be in
that nightmare of a house." he said
finally, and put his coat on the steps
of the shaft for me to sit on.
There is a sense of desecration, of
g reversal of the everlasting fitness of
things, in resurrecting body from its
mother clay. And yet that night, in
the Casanova churchyard, l sat quiet
ly by and watched Alex and Mr..
Jameson steaming over their work,
without a single qualm, except the
fear of detection.
The doctor kept keen lookout, but
no one appeared. Once in a while
he came over to me, and gave me a
reassuring pat on the shoulder.
Il never expected to come this" he
said once. There's one thing sure
I'll not be suspected of completely. A
doctor is generally supposed to be

of the Methodist church, a man whose
heart sometimes outran his head, sent
the idler and his family weekly gifts
of food and clothing supported the
whole crew, in fact.
"A church visitor, after listening to
Jacks complaints one day, said:
Yes, of course, you have had bad
health, We know that; but one thing
at least you ought to be thankful for.
and that is our pastors kindness in
sending you all this bread and meat
and jelly and blankets and so on
Don't you think it is good of him to
look after you so well?"
