A Flying Start.

Now the game. The Yannigans
started out as if to walk away with
the honors, tallying twice in the first
inning. Higgins, first up, clapped a
safe one over the first base, Rob-

Shortstop Foley, One of four outfield-

only new doubtful man in the infield.
Therefore the interest. All of the

sey, captaining the Y~annigans. drove
out two singing doubles, Daschbach
got two hits, one a triple, Tohin got
one in two appearances at the plate.
All fielded without error, with Dasch-
bach leading. The pitchers went
well, too. Smith and Helmecke

a spitball pitcher and didn't use his

The game, by the way, turned out
as all games should, with Bl]ankenship
and his men in the lead. this time by
a score of 8 to 8. Four pitchers
worked during the nine innings of
play and all of them We're touched up
pretty freely. But that is natural
enough at this time of the. year and
no one worried a bit. Until the
eighth inning the teams were neck
and neck. Then Mr.. Wagner, a green
hut promising pitcher from the reser-
walton who was heaving for the Yam
nigans, allowed six H~ighlanders to
cross the plate. That ended the bat
tie. All things considered the Yam
nlgans, recruited as they We're with
local players, did very well. Some of
che Missoulians played fast baseball.
The features of the battle, as was
remarked not long ago, We're a steal
nome and a triple play. Skipper
Roberts was the MAJ who featured in
the steal, of course. He also played
a prominent part in the triple play.
The Y%annigans did most of the feature
work.

The attorney general said that,
while he had not firmly decided upon
an investigation of the tobacco situa-

regarded as inadequate, a be re-

life of service ended in New York on
December 10, 1911. John Bigelow was
a Union man of the class of 1885, and

is to take the form of a recitation hall
which will bear Mr.. Bigelow's name

that the most fitting memorial would
be a building erected on the campus of
