The Wyoming-Idaho baseball league
opened last Friday in the coldest
weather of the season, arctic breezes
blowing at both Kemmerer and Rock
Springs. Interest in the new league
grew good crowds at both places,
however, showing that the league
will receive the support necessary to
be financial success.
In the league openers Kemmerer
handed Montpelier a package, 10 to
4, in loosely played game and Green
River/trimmed Rock Springs 8 to 6.
Saturdays games were called of at
both places because of the weather.
Sundays games make the success
Of the league assured, as all four
teams played AL baseball before
good crowds. The Kemmerer outfit
came to Montpelier with expectations
Of another walk-away and barely
nosed under the wire on the long end
Of a to 6 score, and Rock Springs
turned the tables of the Green River
Brewers 9 to in 12-inning game.
The Camels received an unmerci-
full drubbing in the league opener at
Kemmerer. The coal miners simply
walked away with the game, ably as
sisted in said jaunt by Vealey. The
two innings he lasted he aided and
'abetted seven men to get to first with
walks and handed them five hits, the
total debit being six runs. Pugmire
went in in the third after sitting on a
cold bench, in a cold wind with a cold
wing and Jared no better, the Kem-'
merer sluggers slamming the ball to
all corners Of the field. Carl Spong-
berg then deserted first base and en-
tered the box for the first time in
years. He held the Kemmerer outfit
down nicely, pitching a splendid
game. allowing only one real hit, and
walking no one.
Kemmerer won the first game from
o cOnglomeration of causes too nu-
merous to enumerate. Montpelier
piled up errors in stacks, couldn't hit
the ball, and neither the pitchers or
the team had support. 1t was simply
a case Of pnpreparedness, assisted by
rotten weather. Montpelier's four
lonesome tallies came in the fourth
and sixth innings. In the fourth Jack
son, Spongberg and Garrison scored,
and in the sixth frame Bronson nego-
tiated the sacks for one tally. Score
Kemmerer 10, Montpelier 4.

FISHING SEASON
OPENED SUNDAY

The opening of the fishing season
on June l. falling on a Sunday. found
practically all OF the Isaac Walton
adherents of Montpelier on the Job
at their favorite fishin' hole. Good
catches were reported on Crow Creek
and Stump Creek, and fair catches at
Eight Mile, lower Thomas Fork and
Georgetown. The waters are not as
clear as they might be but altogether
the fishing Is good this year from Ill
reports. Licenses will be handled In
this city this year by the Modern
Drug Co. and Burrell & Thiel's. I'm
der the new FISH and game laws the H.
censes now cost $3.50 instead OF 81.
To date no game warden for this
county has been named. although
there are 26 applications from spor's-
men Of republican faith who c~uld bo
persuaded to accept the position l.
Is probable that this county will BE-
linked with one or two others in the
southern part OF the state with one
warden for the district.

Good weather and a good crowd
were on hand for the first game of
the season on the home grounds.
Both teams played good ball and the
Kemmerer aggregation was lucky in
winning to 6.
Montpelier took the lead from the
start, scoring four runs In the first
inning when Bronson, Hartman,
Jackson and Spongberg touched all
four sacks. In the second frame
Kemmerer scored one, by Siegel, and
in the fourth H. Smith and Swanson
scored. Sharp clouted two-bagger
in the sixth, scoring himself. Unfor1
tunately no one was on bases when
he made his clout. Kemmerer took
the lead in their half OF the sixth,
scoring four runs, when Harvey
weakened, making the score to g..
Ace" Vealey relieved Harvey On
the slab and partly redeemed himself
by striking out five men and allowing
no runs the last two innings. Montk
pelier's chance for a win came in the
ninth. With one down Hartman
scored, cutting Kemmerer's lead to
one run. Jackson got on, made sec
ond; Spongberg famed. Polly Lehr-
bas, who took second base when Gar
rison sprained an ankle, slammed one
over second base, advancing Jackson
to third, and stealing second himself
Montpelier had a chance to score
then-men on second and third, and
two out. Ace" Vealey had a chance
to win his own game with a single,
but couldn't cut the mustard, Whit
fing three times.
The game was well played and In
teresting in all nine frames, and
showed the locals to much better ad-
vantage than the disastrous affair at
Kemmerer, and with the addition of
two or three more men, the Camels
have a chance of being a pennant
contender to be reckoned with this
season.

FRIDAYS GAME.
MEMORIAL DAY TAKES ON
ASPECT OF A MORGUE DAY

While from every quarter of the
state and nation came the heralding
of the eternal gratitude, which alone
can repay those who asked no more
than to die for liberty, and to the glo-
rious dead of a nations wars who
sleep in France with their duty done.
Montpelier alone seems to have ig-
nored last Friday the great fact that
we live today that we may honor and
revere those whose memory will nev-
er die. We seem to have ignored the
beautiful tribute of President Wilson
as he stood at the graves of our SOL
dier dead in far-away France that
"our thoughts and purposes now are
consecrated to the maintenance of the
liberty of the world and of the union
OF its people in a single comradeship
OF liberty and of right-it was for
this that they conscientiously offered
their lives"
Memorial Day this year was the
most fitting in the history of the
country and was universally observed
throughout the handmade so be-
cause there floats In France the plain
tive call of taps. the echo of which
is heard around the world. The sig
uificapce of the day impressed the
millions Of people who assembled to
be stirred at the sight of soldiers.
But in Montpelier there was no
marching beneath the flags, no ora
tor to Iaud their sacrifices. not the
remOtest sign Of an assembly to hear
a program for the sacred dead. How
any community with a heart in its

conception or belief.

fitting tribute to the dead who rest
in the city of the departed, and the
