The first week of the series has
ended with Missoula in the cellar for
the first time since that fateful sea-
son when the so called "Scranpv',
joyce established permanent headauar-
ters in the basement. The fact shat
the champions start on their first
SWING around the circuit with five
teams ahead of them is not SO disconr-
aging as 1t seems at first glance. The
Htghlanders have played only three
games, and two defeats don't spell
lshomlny by any means. Consider that
that the third game was lost by hard
fuck and you'll see that we. aren't in
a bad fix at all. It's no disgrace to
lose to Helena any more, either. The
Vlgdlantes are going to be right up
with the best of them when the gong
rings unless something happens to
cripple their team
In the south Great Falls and Salt
Lake have played what appears to be
an even series. Salt Lake won the
odd game, but is playing at home, SO

The same thing is true of Butte and
Ogden. This week the teams switch
and 1T will be possible to compare the
four. When Missoula goes south next
week an idea of the relative ability of
,. all the teams will be obtainable
Blank and his Highlanders start for
Helena this morning, where they will
play Tuesday. With him Blank takes
a team that is just about down to
fighting size. Cordtz. clever outfielder
though he is, was released last night
and Daschbach will appear regularly
| in right field. Five pitchers will be
| taken along, for Blank won't be ready
iato cut his hurting staff down to size
| until the cold weather is over and he
has given all of his men a good trial.

Salt Lake, thence to Ogden. They will

when Sullivan poled a long, high fly
into right it looked as if the danger
had passed. Cordtz misjudged the
ball, though, and it went into the
scorers book as two-base hit, scor-
ing Cronin and Menges. Spencer

The one run for which there was
good excuse came in the next inning.
Kelly walked and was sacrificed to
second by Quigley, whence he scored
on Lussi's double Here Brooks re-
placed Smith. Cronin hit to Tobin

WEEK
IN TWO MAJOR
LEAGUES
GIANTS DROP RAPIDLY WHILE
CUBS RISE INTO GLARE
OF LIMELiGHT.

New York, May 4.-On the eve of
the first inter sectional clash of the
two major leagues, beginning Tuesday,
an interesting situation has arisen.
New York, the champions. dropped
from first to fifth place. The rise of
Chicago to the top with Philadelphia
chasing the Cubs; a winning streak
by St. Louis which brought that club
into the first division and squirt on
Brooklyn's part.
In the younger organization, Phila :
delphia, Cleveland and Washington
moved along evenly in their winning
way, maintaining their relative post
tions.
In the National league st. Louis was
a surprise The absence of Wagner
is handicapping Pittsburgh badly.
Chicago, while disposing OF Pitts
burgh in the last two games, had
harder Shedding with Cincinnati.
Brooklyn showed better form than
previously and have put themselves IN
the hunt for higher honors. Boston
broke even on the week.
In the American league, Cleveland
has been walking through the western
territory pretty much as it pleased.
Chicago, too, has been having conf
paratively easy time of it.
The Athletics went through the week
with three victories and one defeat
the latter when they ran up against
Walter Johnson--and still lead by a
fair margin. The famous infield is
not geared up to it's old-tin,e ranidity
and sureness. The hitting power is
still strong
Washington, while handicapped by
Fosters absence is playing with spirit
and confidence. The champion Red
Sox, though perceptibly improving
still have some distance to go to land
in the first division.
OF New York, the most that can be
said is that Frank Chance is still eX-
permenting with his material.

A.. 1t Looks.
It's goodbye for three weeks.

It's goodbye for three weeks.
We start into foreign territory with
five clubs ahead of us, but if you
want to gamble Well bet that there
are several teams behind us when we
play Butte here, May q.
However, Mr.. Shay has a nice little
ball team and we can hardly expect
to win six straight this week. Ii we
break even in Helena that's as much
as anyone can expect.
This week we will be able to de-
termine the relative merits of some
of the other teams, too. If Butte and
Ogden are in the class with Great
Falls and Salt Lake this race is going
and Missoula are going to be strong
contenders for the pennant.
Warm and enthusiastic will be the
welcome accorded Shay and his Wig
ilantes when they get home today.
Helena hasn't ever been at the top
before and the fans in the capital will
be crazy today. They ought to build
an addition to the stands there for
| the game Tuesday.

we'd like to see the Vigilantes take
the opener. Nothing helps the game
as much as this redhot competition.
The more we see of Kelly the better
we like him. That goes for almost
every man in the Helena club though
we never could understand how Lussi
managed to have himself sold to
Washington. He may have been a
bulWark for last years Helena team,
but he's a weak sister in the lineup
this year.
The Highlanders played beautiful
ball yesterday and extricated tfem-
selves from some bad holes. In the
second inning they blanked the visit
ors when the stunt seemed almost
| impossible. Lussi doubled to center,
Clynes singled to right center, and
sent Lussi to third. Then Cronin sent
a long fly to Tobin and Iron Man"
threw the ball straight to the plate,
catching Lussi 1t was wonderful
| throw and won an enthusiastic roar
of applause. Menges hit fast one at
Treiiell and the shortstop threw to
Changnon in time to get Clynes.
| iFeheil is gong 10 need Watching,
by the way. If he doesn't turn out to
be the sensation of the league we're
mistaken Bill Oriet isn't in his class
at all.
Pitcher Becker leaves today for
Washington, where he expects to re-
| snme his activities in the semi pro
field. Becker is good pitcher, but
| his arm seems to have gone back on
| him.
Mique Maloney appeared on the
field yesterday as fungo-hitter. His
hair is as long as ever and his nose
has the same classic shape. He seems
to be in the pink and Blank Is count
ing on him as a winner.
Salt Lake has signed Jensen and
Erickson, both of whom were with
the club for while last year Both
were winning pitchers.
Three dreary weeks are ahead Ct us,
but there's the Twilight league which
opens, by the way, next Monday. The
cold weather caused postponement.

PURITAN ANCESTOR

ter than he know. Else how can we
explain the surprising fact that, in
spite of his aversion to discussing sex
phenomena and sex rights, he created
a form of society in which woman at
tanned a prestige, a freedom of action
and scope of opportunity such as
she had not known in previous ages.
Let others explain how the puritanic
ancestor, laboring under the handicap
of atrophied conversational powers,
ignorant of the works of Ellen Key
and Oliver Schreiner. succeeded in
working out theory that it is mans
function to labor and provide, and
woman's function to expand and en-
joy. The task is too difficult for the
present writer. Nor can he explain
this other startling fact that, without
any knowledge that this is the CEN
fury of the child, without explicit
recognition of the sacred duty he
owed to the future of the race as en-
bodied in the child, the puritan an
cestor, wherever he went, built his
schoolhouse and his church stimuli
taneously, and after the schoolhouse
he erected high schools. and after the
high schools he created universities,
and stinted himself in order that his
children might go to these univer
stiles and might have more money to
spend than was good for them.

BOARDED THE WRONG SHIP
AS Result Young Lady of California
is Bound for Antipodes Against
Her VIII.

Victoria, B. C.-Steaming across the
far reaches of the broad Pacific on
board the steamship Mariana is a
lone passenger who up to the time of
the big liners departure had not the
slightest intention of making the long
massage to the Antipodes.
Just prior to the sailing OF the
Mariana a fashionably attired young
lady boarded the vessel, which she
imagined was the Pacific coast steam
or Umatilla, bound for San Francisco
The unwilling passenger was Miss
Nellie Stone of Oakland, Cal, who
had been visiting at the home of John
Evans at Someone's. near Duncans,
B. C.
The first news of Miss Stone'S pre-
dicament was conveyed to Victoria In
a wireless message from Captain
Rolls to the C. p. r. officials here.
