Claim Stock Firm Preempted Range

Albert Werner, J. n. Lockridge,
Amos Storey, l. N. Fowler and
George Carkeek, large stockgrowers
of Cameron, have made protest to the
supervisor of the Madison national
forest that a large concern of the
Madison valley ran 1000 head of it's
cattle on their range without permits
sion from the forest authorities this
fall. The five men paid for the priv
ilege of grazing their own cattle on
the national forest but found them
to be in poorer condition at the end
of the season than when they were
turned loose.

MONTANA IN NEED
OF FARM EXPERTS
STATE MUST TRAIN THEM, SAYS
PROF. ABBEY OF THE STATE
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
Time Not Far Distant When Every
County Will Demand County
Agent; Only Two Agents Are Mon
tana Men; Trained Natives Are Not
Available.

A problem in education that is be-
ing overlooked in Montana at the
present time is the training of men
for high school positions in agricul-
ture and for county agent work, &C
cording to Professor M. J. Abbey of
the state college extension depart
ment.
Few states,' says Professor
Abbey, "are more seriously handi-
capped for trained agricultural lead
ers than Montana. The time is not
far distant when every county in the
state will be demanding a county
agent. At the present time but two
of our agents are Montana men. This
is because no other trained Montana
men could be found.
Schools Teaching Agriculture.
"The past year a number of high
schools have established departments
of agriculture and have been COM
PEELED to go to neighboring states for
men who had specialized in agricul-
tural education. No argument need
be advanced to prove that this meth
cd of solving the agricultural prob
lem is not effective. Usually these
men are looking for experience, and
as soon as they have this experience
to their credit they return to their
home states where their services are
always in demand. In practically
every state the demand for high
school teachers of agriculture and
for county agents far exceeds the
supply.
Train Men in State.
"The only effective solution for
the educational as we'll as the agri-
cultural problem is to train state
men in state institutions for home
positions. For such men, familiar
with local conditions, it will not be
necessary to experiment several
months before they find themselves

Had Harry Harper received the sort
terday's game that pitcher might ex-
pect. he would have gone nine innings
against Davenport with a ! to score.
Stupid fielding by Morgan and Shanks
in the opening round paved the way for
a three-run lead which the Browns
obtained
Shotton, who started the inning with
a grounder to short, got life when
Morgan, instead of taking the ball on
the first bound, allowed it to play him"
and as a result Shotton was safe.
Shanks then made fatal error by
running toward the plate the moment
Miller indicated he was going to bunt,
and a measly little pop fly went over
Shanks' head.
This placed two runners on the bases
Miller then sacrificed, advancing the
runners, and Pratt's single to left
scored both runs and landed Pratt on
second, when Jameson made futile
throw to the plate.
Marsans fouled to Henry, and when
Smith muffed Severoids short fly Pratt
came home
The only run the Browns should have
had was scored in the third, when Bor-
ton drew a pass to open the inning
Pratt was famed, and Marsans single
sent Borton to third, from where ne

With one down in the sixth Shanks
tripled to right center. Foster walked
and then Milan singled, sending Shahks
home with the only run the locals
scored, Smith hitting into double play

Harper pitched gilt-edge ball after the
third inning, not allowing the Browns
another run and yielding but three

DOYLE WINS TWO MATCHES.

the invitation tournament of the

magazines, and A. J. Biddle, one of
the ranking players of Philadelphia.
The first match was won by default
and the second in straight love sets.
No upsets were registered in the first
round of the tourney. Connie is in
the top half of the draw. which in
cludes the best players in the tourney

crucial test next week at Forest Hills.
The entry of the California Comet.
Maurice z. Mclaughlin, the idol of the
fans and famous Internationally, has
been received. and it is expected that
he will play Reginald Cook today.
Doyle will have but week of practice
on grass in preparation for the national
tournament, but he feels that this
period of time will enable him to
suit his game to the changed condi-
tions. His strokes are well suited to
grass, as neither his serve nor his chop
has a high enough bound to handle
well.

No. 25-Quick Thinking and
Playing.

An inexperienced player will often
wonder why the good player is so sell
dom caught far from the point where
the return hits the court. Where one
player will be rushing wildly across
the court, another will be calmly on
the spot waiting for the ball.
The reason why the one player is
unready and the other is ready is be-
cause the first has used only her
racket while the second has also used
her head. The finest execution of a
stroke in the world will not avail If
the brain is not behind the stroke; the
first evidence of brain is judging
where the ball is going to land.
Judgment of the ball is kind of
instinct with some players, but it is
a faculty which may be acquired by
any girl if she will always keep her
eye on the ball and associate the
position of the opponents racket with
the flight. / can nearly determine the
exact spot where ball will touch the
court at the moment it is hit, and
hence / have time to reach that part
of the court and prepare for my re-
turn strokes. With practice one
makes this Judgment without conscious
effort, but the judgment is founded on
keeping the eye On the ball.
Some players of exceptional clever
ness will succeed in SO masking their
strokes that they will fool you as to
place. but this seldom occurs If you
watch the ball start in its flight in
stead of making your determination
from the position of the racket just
before impact.
Your every stroke must have an OBJ
ject; a wild return is little better than
a complete miss, for it is sure to give
an opening to the opponent. l have
previously advised playing a system
founded on your opponents weakness
and your own strength. but in the use
of this system quick thinking is nee
essary. II you always do a certain
thing in a certain way a clever op-
ponent will know what to expect il
you keep your eyes open you can often
tell what she expects you to do-then
do something else. Never make the
obvious and expected stroke if you can
gain by a surprise play. The quick
sizing UP Of situations wins matches
An entire change of style upsets
your opponents plans; instant shifts
and changes are only to be made when
you think quickly.

to find with his work Mahan, perha ps
was the greatest performer in all depart
ments the gridiron game has known in
recent years 1t is doubtful indeed if the
game has ever produced much more
capable man. He could do most anything
and everything a good foot ball player
ought to be able to accomplish. 1t stands
to reason. too. that Mahan has some
thing more than mere physical ability
One who has done as well as he must be
possessed of a keen sense of discernment
an ability to mix well with his fellows
and general knowledge of the intrica cies
of the sport. If Mahan has pedagogical
qualities there should be little doubt of
his making good as coach. OF course,
no matter how much a man might know
of foot ball generally. or how well he
might be versed in the technicalities of
the sport. he could not accomplish much
without the ability to impart that knowl-
edge to others. The essence of the real
teacher is as much part of a coach as
his knowledge Of the game-perhaps a
little more.
