INDOOR BASEBALL IS
NOW ON THE 1AP|S
BIRDS As WELL AS BEASTS WANT
TO GET INTO THE
GAME

The Tonopah Moose have been SO
swelled up and are lording II so over
the Elks since they took the starch
out OF them at indoor baseball the
other night in the Airdome, that the
Eagles could stand it no longer. They
claim that baseball is the national
game and they are the national bird.
hence their def, challenge. chip on the
shoulder, or whatever 1t might be
termed.
They met last evening in the upper
branches OF dead pine and express
sed their opinion of the Moose, VINO
can neither fly into trees nor climb
them, and when anybody knocks the
ball up into the rafters. they have TO
retrieve 1t with stepladder. giving
little Brownie the credit for three
runs which he did not earn.
Thence and therefore three of the
homeliest. but most pugnacious birds
In the bunch, N. NJ. Mccormick, Chas
Richards and Bill Evans were depu
tized to prepare an ultimatum and pre-
sent II to the selfaxalted Moose, re
quiring that they either meet them
on the indoor diamond or get pecked
worse than Tom Risch's bulldog was
by the fire department eagle several
years ago.
1t is extremely probable that the
def will be accepted End that tht
game will be played End that 1t vii
carry with 1t an intensity of interest
that could be excelled by nothing els'
than the halfconsidered contest o
the bankers and schoolmarms' bas
ketball teams.

LITTLE HEARD or TOWN TAKES
THREE LARGER VILLAGES
INTO CAMP

Never before in the history of athle
tics in Tonopah has more popular
result been attained, than the winning
Of the high school tournament by the
team from Virgin high school at
Bunkerville. In all their games the
Bunkerville boys showed an absolute
regard for all the rules of true sport.
They played hard. silently and clean,
but effectively They showed, too,
the advantage of strict sacrificial
training, and their subsection Of the
individual to the organization was a
sermon in itself on the great text,
team work"
The schedule, made up by lot. seem
ed to resolve itself into an elimina-
tion contest, leaving the final game
| to determine the series. Las Vegas
and Bunkerville attained the first
division during the first two days Of
play. and Manhattan and Tonopah
won the righ to fight for the tail-end
/ position, accordingly the minor game
was made preliminary to that which
was to determine the district cham
pionship.
Tonopah and Manhattan clashed
from the first whistle. and for the
whole time of play the game really
belonged to either team, altho' the
first half gave Tonopah an eight point
lead. The game was slow throughout,
the teams being tired from the long
seige of playing. The second half
saw great revival on the part of
Manhattan. and 1t looked for time
as though the local poys would be
nosed out. The final score. 33 to 36,
however was in Tonopah's favor.
Individual stars would be hard to
pick James O'Connell played his
usual brilliant game Milton Pollard

thods would necessitate the expendi
tpre of several thousand dollars for
dead work, and the waste of good
deal of time. For this reason the ar
rangement with the West End COM
pany was deemed very satisfactory
and will allow the Mcnamara com
pany to take out whatever ore is ex-
posed at the present time, as well as
prospect this territory for extensions
of this ore at very reasonable cost.
The ore which is exposed on the
line and the ore which the West End
took out of its adjacent stope is of
very good grade, but as the territory
has not, been explored until very re-

the work, looking after the interests
of both the Mcnamara and the West
End companies. He hopes to be able
to begin work during the coming
week. as only few details of the

two companies remain to be adjusted

Gheusi, director of the Opera Conf.
que has found no decrease In the
number Of scores which reach him
from all quarters, even from the
trenches. But there Is this difference,
that whereas the civilian revels in
material themes the soldier-musician
sounds the pastoral note and seeks in
spiration from nature in her country
aspects Some Of the latter contribu-
tions are of no mean order and there
is notably one score-an opera in
three acts-which bears the hallmarks
Of masterpiece. The production OF
this work will prove anything but
costly as there are only two scenes,
the sea and mountain pinnacle, and
three characters.
