Rewarded for Heroism

Butte, Nov. 2.-Word vas received
yesterday by wire that Patrick White
of 63S Broadway and Roy w. Hubbard
of 1915 Oregon avenue were awarded
81 1000 each and hero medals, out of
the Carnegie hero fund.
White rescued from certain death, a
lineman, Andrew Lenniger, in the en-
ploy of the Montana Independent Tele
phone company, July Z last year. The
lineman was working on a telephone
pole when in some accidental way con
nection was made with an electric
power line and $500 volts passed
through his body. He received the
current in his left hand and it passed
out of his body through the right foot.
The smell of burning flesh made Len
niger's plight known to White, who,
with assistance, got a ladder and seiZ-
ing the injured man by the leg broke
it loose from the pole. Power was
then shut off and the man taken down.
Hubbard's services were rendered
Jan. 13 of this year, when he made a
brave attempt to rescue a man named
Peterson from a manhole, where he
had been overcome by gasses, by hav-
ing himslf lowered into the pit with
a rope about his sholders. He got
Peterson out above ground. but the
man had inhaled too much of the poi.
onous gases for recovery.

A Clock Without Wheels

Visitors to the Benton Drug and
Jewelry company store are very much
interested in a mysterious clock that
has been CONSTRUCTED by w. E. Drake,
the jeweler, and which is now on ex-
hibition. The clock keeps accurate
time, but as it has no wheels and is
apparently without connection with
any motive power, its method of oper'
alton is a puzzle to the spectators.
The device consists of a sheet of
plate glass about 40 inches square up
on which a dial is lettered, with the
hour and minute hands radiating from
the center. The hands a be moved
to any point on the dial, but when
released they return to the figures
denoting the correct time. The clock
is suspended from the ceiling, about
twelve feet from the side wall of the
store, and each side can be closely
inspected. The public IS invited to
view this unique specimen of the
clock makers art, which apparently
has no motive power for it's opera
ton.

Montana's Big Wheat Crop

Nearer fory millions than twenty.
eight million bushels is Montana's
wheat crop this year, if the estimates
of the railroads are correct and Mon
tana Touring mills u anywhere near
capacity according to the Helena Rec
ord. At a conference two weeks ago
on the matter of grain inspection be-
tween state officials and general Off
Gals of the railroads the railroad men
asserted they would haul out of Mon
tana this year not less than thirty
roads keep in close touch with condi-
lions and their figures OF the amount
of wheat to be hauled out should be
reliable.
Not less than sixty per cent of these
10000 cars will have a capacity of 3d.
900 pounds and forty per cent a capac-
ity of 100000 pounds. This gives a to-
tai capacity of 1920, 900 900 pounds.
Figuring the wheat runs sixty pounds
to the bushel makes the amount of
wheat to be hauled out of the state
this year $4,000, 900 bushels.
This is the grain that will be han
died in interstate shipments alone and
does not include the grain consumed
in the state. According to figures COM
piled by w. j. Swindlehurst, commits
sioner of the bureau OF labor and in.
dustry, there are % -four mills now in
operation in Montana, with a total
yearly capacity of 1,526,140 barrels.
These mills operate the year round at
full capacity. Five bushels of wheat
are required to make a barrel of -four
so the Montana mills alone grind from
five to eight million bushels a year.

the strength of his ttmain strength"
batting and speedy baserunning.
Right now Williams is not up to
major league caliber, but rEvers fig
ures that if the youngster will study
his own defects and listen to men
who have had experience he will bud
into star.
Tall and long-armed, Williams puts
terrific power into his swing, and
when he hits the ball it usually goes
on line. Sad, but true, he has an
unfortunate habit of striking out. But
1t is noticeable that he doesn't go
after bad balls. He is tanning on
pitches that come over the plate. The
only trouble is that they cross the
rubber at such an angle he is helpless.
There is one similarity in the bat
ting of Ty Cobb (when he broke in)
and Williams. The Cubic can't hit
low curve on the inside of the plate.
Neither could Cobb the first two or
three years he was in the big show.
Every fan remembers how soft the
Peach was for Doc White and his
low drop.
But the Georgian set himself to
master the deceptive shoot. Each
morning at the Detroit park he had
left-handed pitcher sling low curves
for an hour or so, and Cobb swung
diligently. He experimental with diff
ferent positions when standing at the
plate. He changed the time of his
swings and the way of holding his
bat. And he mastered that curve.
There is no reason why Williams
can't do the same thing. He is a bet
ter natural batter even than Cobb.
Right here let it be said that, despite
the healthy record he rolls up, Cobb
is not naturally as strong batter as
several men in the American League,
notably jackson and Sam Crawford.
But, Tyrus made a study of every
ounce of his ability. For this he

star is might liable to work, for if he
doesn't he may as well reconcile him
self to a berth in the minors. Few
batters with glazing weakness stick
in the big tent. =
Either Rube Vanguard or Christy
Mathewson will pitch the first game
against the Cubs tomorrow. The
Giants play two games with Pitts
burgh today, but it is not likely Nc
Graw will employ both of his stars.
The one who rests today will face the
locals Sunday. Larry Cheney is EV-
ers' present selection, and HUMPHREYS
will get the job in later game. Left
handlers are not very successful
against the Giants, so this may mean
that Jimmy Lavender will get some
regular duty to perform. G.a:.
Definitely in the second division,
the White Sox have one thing on
which to congratulate themselves.
They have tied with the Mackmen
on the series for the year. Twenty
two times Callahan and his gang
have engaged the Athletics, and each
team was on the right end Of the
score IL times. Indications are that
at the end of the season the Sox will
be the only team which can point to
such good record against the COM
ing champions.
If the Galatians had played the
same brand of ball against ST. Louis.
Boston and New York that they did
against the Macks they would be up
in the first fight, probably battling
with Cleveland and Washington in
a three cornered fight for the runner
up position.
On paper the Sox deserve higher
position. On actual performance,
they are right where they belong.
A team whose leading batter is STUN
bling along under .270 cannot hope
for much but beating at the hands
of the enemy.
