This editorial paragraph said a

things that have heretofore perplexed
the Wilson democrats In Montana. We
have wondered how II came to pass
that papers like the Helena Independ-

Oring a man of Wilson's progressive

entrench themselves to win out In the
nominating convention. This would
enable them to keep the progressive

AMATEUR PLAYERS
HAD GOOD DAY
Departmental Marquette, and independence Leagues All
Saw Clean, Closely Con tested Games Capital
City Will Start Today.

For the first time in many days all Of
the amateur ball tossers had a. full
afternoons session, every game sched-
uled being played on the various fields
in the city. The Capital City League Is
not counted, because of the fact that
while 1t is supposed to be still existing,
little evidence of the fact Is. being
given.
The Departmental, Marquette. and In-
dependence Leagues furnished games
we'll worth watching yesterday. Field
ing was of the best and the scores In
each instance were close. For the frst
time this season, Postoffice came near
getting beating. The leaders have
been taking things easy and showing
lot of confidence, and the fans have
been good naturedly hoping that some
team would come along and take fall
out of them.
AS has been repeatedly said before
the Independence League Is furnishing
great baseball, all teams being evenly
matched and all are putting up the
most interesting of battles for the lead
ership.
Cornell and Navy Yard are scheduled
to play at the Capital City grounds this
afternoon in the schedule which Is to be
resumed. Manager Cornell said this
morning that he expected the league to
be in good shape again by the first or
the week. The bumpers and Brentwood
are to play tomorrow afternoon.

victory after all. II depends upon the
secretary of the National League. The
"Enbe" was taken out in the eighth
inning when his team was behind. The
fans lined uD in legions as to whether
the record would be allowed. Giants
followers say the game will be handed
to Crdnd1ll who relieved the marvel;
others say Marquard has won his
thirteenth. and there the matter stands.

We won three straight series.
"Chick" Gandil featured again.

There was no doubt about Walter
Johnsons ability to stop the Tigers
after the first inning or so yesterday.
The great twirler had it his own way,
and made monkeys of the Tigers. Now
that Walter has a team behind him, he
should have no difficulty in establishing

pitchers.

The Nationals have taken all the steam
out of the Tigers, and the Athletics
kindly handed it to Cleveland for the
Nationals to make a killing. Turn
about seems to be fair play. The Ma

well worth watching when the teams
come East.
