red coat" and the ladybugs are en-
thusiastic over it. Skipper" Roberts,
who is kidded by his fellows more thai
any other man on the team, has had
to stand for a lot of fun-making on
account of the lurid costume he has
lately acquired. It's two years DID,
they tell him. Solomon cheated you
because he thinks you can't play ball.
BY the way, have you noticed Phil
kenny's new suit, now on display in
the B. & A. windows? Phil declares
tina he will wear one of those red
unies the night the Empress opens.
Let us rise to inform you, in case
YOU do not already know, that one
Ray Baglev is a regular ~cartooner. He
has sent us two pictorial p~resenta-
ions of the fashion problem and has
taken all of the JOY out of them by
%forbidding us to relay them to the
well-known public. We are after him,
though, and if We can talk fast enough
The Muscular will be embellished
with some of Mr.. Bagley's clever work
before long.
1t was our privilege to make the
diurnal pilgrimage to the ball park
yesterday in the company of those two
greatest fans-King M. Solomon and
Prime Minister Jack Helfrich-and to
listen to their learned discourse upon
the merits of the various candidates
for place in the Highlander lineup.
Both bugs are satisfied with the APP
p%earance of the squad n give the
team a better rating than they Will
accord to last years club. Every po-
sition except shortstop looks better
thar it did last year." says the King.
Last years club was made up of new
men who had 0 played together be-
fore. The team this yea is strength
ened by a year of good experience ana
all of the men work we'll together. h
shortstop situation is bad, but Carpen-
ter may show up, or Daschbach or
Foley may develop into a suitable
shortstop. OF course, you can't tell
much about the pitching staff until
the men play in some real games, but
four of the pitchers look mighty good

Jack Helfrich, when he had gone
through his entire stock of old and
new stuff, p]ropounded a learned the

beginning to call it in the effete east.

ers a lot says Jack. The game
trains their eyes and arms and then
they are playing all the time with
balls that are about as large as base
balls. l think that the white balls on
the green table help, too. They look

Jack was greatly pleased when he
learned how the teams lined up for
the opening game in philadelphia yes

surely use Wood and the Athletics

Malcolm Wade Plummer, catcher
and scout for the ~StevensVille team,
passed through Missoula yesterday on
his way to Philadelphia, where he is
going to sell something or other. He
will stop off in Chicago to see the
Cubs and the Pirates and expects to
see the Athletics, including Leslie
Bush, when in Philadelphia. Incl
dentally he will keep an eye peeled
for material for the S~tevensville team.
He didn't have much to say yesterday,
but he intimated that he might sign
B~resnahan or collins for a try-out. +.

We fail to become excited over EN-
