NOTHING DOING HERE

Not being Intimately acquainted
with sporting conditions in Missoula.
and therefore not knowing that for
the time being the last sad rites have
been said over the boxing game in
this part Of the state, J. CT Morton of
Jamestown, N. D., offers to provide
entertainment for the Garden city
fight fans by bringing his string Of
boxers out here to meet anybody at all.

fesses to having 15s pound wrestler
under his protecting wings and is am

wrestling here is a chance for Walter
Miller. who is around this part of the
cc"ntry to get Il match. Morton also
s..ys that he has Leo Kossick, the fast
boxer, who appeared in Billings sever

Jimmy Piquett has sworn off promot-

The Red SoX, with Ruth, Shore and
Leonard, all young pitchers, and with
such aids as Jack Barry, Duffy Lewis,

Gardner, will be as hard to beat in
1917 as they were in 1915 and 1916.
Unless Jennings can dig un at least
two good pitchers beyond his present
stable the Tiger attack isn't going to
overthrow the Red SoX defence. This

Philadelphia. Jan. 3.--Two of the
greatest stars baseball ever knew
probably closed their major league ca
reers last october. Both of these men
played with the Philadelphia teams.
One was Napoleon Lajoie and the other
was Gavvy Cravath.
Both were the type of players be-
loved by all fans, that is--they were
sugsers. For years Lajoie held the
batting crown. He was a king pin
slugger when he was with the Phillics
back in the 9o's. He kept up his hard
hitting when he was first with the

MONTE VISTA WINS.

Two innings of the ball game yes
terday were played after the Her
aid went to press. The game was
not as fast as the game Tuesday.
There was plenty of batting and a
number of wild throws, which, Of
course, delayed the game. The game
was played with plenty of life all
the way thru and the crowd was well
entertained.
At the close Of the seventh inning
the score stood six to two for Monte
Vista. In the eighth inning Monte
Vista made two runs and Alamosa
made one, bringing the score up to
eight to three.
The ninth inning proved to be a
score maker all around, Monte Wis.,
ia running her score up to 10 and
Alamosa up to six. Had the Alamo
sa boys avoided one or two run max
ing innings for Monte Vista in the
early part of the game the score
would have been very close.
Huggins was in the pitchers box
for Monte Vista and Birch did most
of the pitching for Alamosa. Clyde

inning or two. Both catchers were
in fine form.
The game was characterized by sew

LAST NIGHT AT THE CARNIVAL

The street carnival seems to be a
success judging from the numbers on
the streets last night and those 60
ing in and out of the various booths
along Main avenue. The carnival
company has variety of shows and
entertainments and Main avenue
along in the evening and up to late
hour was one mass of people. As
one mingled thru the crowds he was
impressed with the idea that all were
being entertained to their satisfac-
ton.
The fair directors have had in the
past some difficulty in securing the
proper entertainment for the people
liz the evening. They want some
place to go and something to see dur
ing the evening hours, SO they figur-
ed that first class carnival COM
pany would come nearer meeting the
demands of the people than anything
else.
The amusements offered by the
company are not in any way objec-
tionable and consist of those things
usually shown on such occasions
Those who have come in for the oc-
casion object to standing around all
forenoon and then during the even
ing with nothing to do and no place
to go. This carnival company is max.
ing special effort to entertain all
who care to be upon the streets and
it is to be hoped that our many Wis.,
itors will avail themselves of the ap-
portunities to have an enjoyable
time.
