Must Prepare Without delay
for Coming Baseball Games
and Track Meets.
WEATHER HANDICAPS
Track Meet With Pullman
May 5-Muscovite Ball
Game Next Week.
(R. T. Rocene.)

The present week, if anything near
decent weather conditions prevail. will
be the busiest of the year for the uni
versity athletes. The track men will
turn out on the cinders in full force.
the weights men will occupy the mid
die of the gridiron, while the candi-
dates for the baseball team will work
out on the diamond at the sonth end
of the athletic field in preparation for
their games against the Muscovites
next week.
The track men have over a month to
train before they meet their first OPP
ponentss the Washington State college
track team, at Pullman. but on past
performances the track and field rep
resentatives of Montana will need all
the preparation that they can get.
Not only did nearly all of Pulman's
point winners in 1916 return, but the
or four weeks training over the Bruins.
Three Other Meets.
One week after the Pullman meet,
which is scheduled for May ., the Uni
versity of Idaho track and field ath-
iletes will come to Missoula. On May
10, the much feared and cordially
hated Asgies will try out their speed
and strength on Montana field June
> is the date set for the Northwestern
conference meet, in which all the
members of that organization will
compete. This is to be held at Pull
man. and the Bruins have little chance
on the track against the sprinters and
runners from other schools. but are
sure of scoring in the weights events,
through the efforts of John Christian
Bentz and Tiny" keeran.
Last year the Bruins track team
competed in only two meets and lost
| both, though the varsity field men
showed up well.

Ing at San Francisco Oakland at Los
Angeles and Portland at Salt Lake
city. The Pacific Coast league, by
starting its twelfth pennant race to-
day. is the first Of the organized base
ball leagues to get under way. The
1916 season Of the Coast league was
the most prosperous that the circuit
had experienced since it's organization,
and unless acts of providence inter-
season will be the best ever.
Six veterans of the national game,
all with years of experience in the
managerial end of the game. will be at
the helm Of the flag chasers. AS the
weak sisters of the 1916 race have
shown up strong this spring, "A terrific
struggle is expected, instead of the
lop- sided contest of last season. in
which Oakland and Portland were
eliminated early in the season.

of service the oldest manager in the

Blame Lies with Germany.

Germany has accused US of start
ing the war. But let me tell you
that anyone who saw London and
Great Britain back in 1914 knows the
truth, and he knows that Ii We had
done such thing we would have
been worse than knaves and fools.
Germany might just as logically &C
cause Liberia, Peru or Siam, our
latest ally The world now knows
where the blame lies. When your
government, the greatest democracy
of the world, entered the war On the
side of the allies, the verdict Of the
justest jury in civilization had been
rendered. There were some who
hesitated to believe Germany the
aggressor, but when little Belgium
was struck. they awoke TO the fact
that it was democracy VS.. autocracy,
and that the little nation was fight
ing for its life rather than be ruled
by the great big bully then overrid-
ing it. And you are in the war, in
it with us, not to quit until all Bel
GUM has lost has been restored"
Captain vickers then in humor-
Gus way described his attempts to
get command. He finally landed in
the cavalry as trooper, man who
was trained as an officer and who
had held commissions. He said he
had to groom Missouri mulss-at a
distance of thirty feet-and that the
only grudge he held against Missouri
was that she didn't send along a few
negroes to take care of the mules.
Soon they were given horses, but the
troopers showed them the same ven
Grafton one does his grandfather, the
horses were nearly as old. And then
they got American horses, but these
were not broke and the result can
be imagined 1t was no wonder the
soldiers were thankful for nine inches
