FouRTHYEAR GLASS At UNI
vERslTY WINS SECOND
BASKETBALL GAME.

The university seniors yesterday de-
feated the juniors in the second game
Of the interclass basketball series by
score OF 63 to 8 The game was
too one sided to be interesting and the
cold weather made It impossible to
watch the game with interest Not for
moment did the juniors have a
chance. They had plenty Of oppor-
tunities to score but the forwards were
unable to locate the basket and time
and again wild shots" We're gathered
In by the seniors and hurried down
the field and through their basket.
The work OF Bishop and Little was
the sensational feature OF the game.
The meteor" was in splendid form
and played the same brilliant game
which has made him so prominent in
Montana athletics for the past four
years. He was everywhere at once and
threw baskets with unfailing precision.
Little followed close, behind but did
not shine SO brightly as scorer on
ing guard. Ryan threw well and
played q good game at center. Spen-
Ger played good game as Bishops
running mate, while Dinsmore and
Maclay managed to hold down the
other guard position. For the juniors
Conner, Fredell and Baker-although
the latter fouled repeatedly-played
games which might have been worse.
The seniors started out strong and
scored fast and repeatedly throughout
the game. At the end of the. first half
the score was 81 to s. The lineup and
individual scores were as follows:
Seniors-Blshop l13l and Spencer
(8), forwards; Ryan t12), center; Lit
tie (20) and Dinsmore and Maclay,
guards.
Juniors-Conner (4) and Fredell
(3), forwards; Kirkwood. center;
Theme (2), Baker, O'Rourke and
Holmes Maclay, guards.

tory apiece.

CENSUS BUREAU ANNOUNCES
THE OFFICIAL FIGURE ON
TN
POPULATION OF MONTANA.

This Is the official census bureau
statement of the population of the
leading Montana cities which the As
sociated Press dispatches brought
yesterday along with the cold wave
These figures place Missoula in third
place in the list of Montana cities. Ten
years ago Missoula was fifth in the
list; in the decade she has passed An
aconda and Helena. Great Falls and
Butte are ahead of her in the present
list. The figures show that Missoula
has gained about 800 per cent.
.At the chamber of commerce meet
ing yesterday afternoon the statement
Of population, furnished by The Mis-
soulian, was a subject Of considerable
discussion. The population with which
Miss, llla is credited by the census bu-
reau is about 10 per cent less than the
figures, which had been estimated by
the chamber. There was qualification,
however, over the fact that the cen
;sl:s Ilaces the city in the first class
under the state law and that will
enable the city government to
procee with several plans which have
necessarily been held up until the pro-
visions of first-class cities could be
applied to the administration. Notable
among these is the formation of a park
commission which it is known Mayor
Logan favors and which has been de-
sired BY the municipal Improvement
people for some time.
Speaking of the reduction in the fig
ures which the census bureau made,
President Kellogg Of the chamber of
comerce said: There was no special
agent sent here to investigate. If there
had been, am sure there would have
been no reduction. l understand the
cut was made in the lists of railway
Workmen whose homes are here but
whose labors, much of the year, are
out on the line. Many of these men
gave their residences at the hotels
where they stay when they. are in
town; this made some of these hotels
show up as housing a good many peo-
pie. The elimination Of these men is
what reduced our figures. But it is not
so bad; we have good basis to figure,
against for the next census. From our
check on the enumeration, / know
there are about 1,400 people in the
city who are not counted"
There was no disposition on the
part of the chamber of commerce COM
mittee yesterday to criticize the re-
turns. They We're accepted for what
dropped.

II was much interested this morning
in reading the statements of the Mis-
soula banks in The Mis-
GREAT soulian" said visitor
SHOWING in the city at the Flor
ence hotel yesterday. II
have studied the figures with a good
deal of care and I am surprised to
note the strength of your financial in
stitutions. The details of the state
ments are interesting as showing that
the banks are looking out for condi-
tions that may rise and are solidly on
the safe side There Is not a thing of
which l know that can do a town as
much good in the business world as
such statements as you published this
morning about the banks. 1t shows
that your conditions are good. /, my
self, think more Of Missoula than
ever did before Couple your natural
advantages with the sound conditions
of your business circles, and you have
combination that satisfies the In
quirer. You should make good deal
OF noise about those statements" And
the friendly visitor was surprised more
than ever when the Man About Town
told him that the local bank state
ments are always good and that the
ones Of yesterday were not unusual.
State Committeeman Higgins, who led
the Missoula county democratic cam
paign last fall, returned
BADLY yesterday on No. from
MIXED Helena. where he has
been looking on ever
since the legislative session began. To
the Man About Town, Mr.. Higgins said
last night: There is not much change
in the situation as regards the sena-
torship There Is generally expressed
belief in Helena that that Walsh vote
is now about as big as 1t will be at
any time. There are some Of the dem
ocrats, led by OHern, who say it viii
be Walsh or nobody The Conrad peo-
pie are not saying much. but It IS the.
capitol talk that the big banker does
not stand any better now than Walsh.
The busiest crowd in Helena is made
up Of the Carter men: there seems to
be a hope that they may yet land their
man. This talk Is SO strong that w. H.
George, Yellowstone senator, today
made speech about 1t. When you ask
any of the folks around the capitol
who is going to win. they say 1t will
be Clark, Carter or Norris. don't
know anything about it except what
heard talked There Is plenty Of talk,
however, to keep man busy"

REAL realization Of the con.
WINTER ditions prevailing to

mometer in Missoula acted very de-
Gently all day; there was not even

But the wind from the east gave force
to the reports which were wired from
Great Falls, Helena, Biossburg and
other Arctic regions, where the read
ings ranged from ~ below zero to 80
below. 1t was cold enough here, how
ever. Missoula did not begrudge tha
championship belt to her sisters east
and north. There were no linen dust
ers on the street and the rink man
didn't have to pack his skating surface
with ice to keep 1t from melting. The
man who allowed his woodpile to get
low was busy on the trail of the dealer

had no trouble whatever in keeping

Pittsburg Sore
 At Herzog Trade
Manager Clarke Says He Offered Good Players to Boston and Was Refused

Pittsburg, Pa., July 24.-Fred Clarke is somewhat disappointed at not landing Charlie Herzog for the Pirates, but he is taking the Boston New York trade philosophically, though he does take a sly fling at the Boston management. The Pirate chieftain can't see the Giant-Rustler deal in the light of anything other than a joke. Said Clarke, speaking of the deal:
 There is something rotten in Den mark, and I am contrained to think that some one connected with the New York club has a great big finger in the Boston pot of beans. Why, Thursday, shortly after reaching Bes- ton, being desirous of getting Herzog, made the Boston team an offer that, had 1t been accepted, would have strengthened the team wonderfully. I made out a list of players and hand ed it to Penney, telling him to pick out the ones he wanted and we would then proceed to talk business
 Yes, l did want Herzog, and he was anxious to come to Pittsburg. In- stead of taking the players I named, men who would have been a big help to Boston, Penney and Russell turn right around and swap Herzog for Bridwell and Gowdy. I cannot un- derstand it at all unless there is a. we'll, never mind; I can't understand it

EXCITING RACES AT
 BRIDGEPORT YACHT CLUB

Seldom have prettier and closer yacht races been run off than those Saturday at the Bridgeport Yacht Club, contesting for the July cup. The Delpha, a new boat owned by Henry A. Jennings, joined the fleet Saturday, showing remarkable speed. Half a dozen yachts entered the con- test, getting away at 2:05 D. m. Not a yacht had yard of advantage when the first turn was made. Three skip pers, those of the Tortoise, Bunny and Myriad, secured the port side after the turn, getting the advantage, which they held to the end.
 At the finish, the Tortoise, owned by H. A. Bishop and manned by Henry Crane, crossed first in 1:55:02. The Bunny (Bedford) crossed the line sec ond, but one second behind, followed by the Myriad (Barrington), two sec onds behind the leader. The Delpha GIT. A. Jennings), Pippin, R. c.
