FRESHMEN ARE V|CTORS
N sACk.RUsH ON FRIDAY

The Freshmen of The White Pine
County High school are holding their
heads a little higher after the result
of the sack-rush last Friday and will
no longer be compelled TO wear the
green ribbon of the Freshly AL
though lacking in weight when op-
posed to the sophomores, the fresh
men made up in numbers and, back
ed by a determination to do or die,
the little fellows put up team work
that brought the sacks home and
kept them there. Viewed from the
side-lines, the sack-rush, which Is
traditional event with schools and
universities, demonstrated the yigor
and determination of the young stu
dents and il the same earnestness is
characteristic in their school work
and efforts in life as was conspicu-
ously evident last Friday, the spho-
mores and freshies of this school
team will make their mark in life.
Preceding the sack-rush the pupils
of the high school marched in parade
from the school building to the base
ball grounds. The parade was a
demonstration In honor of the en-
rollment for the high school which is
the largest in any county In the state
of Nevada.
Few states in the union offer bet
ter educational advantages than Ne
vada and the White Pine County
High school is one of the best equip
ped schools In the state, with teach
ers and other educational facilities.
The eventful Friday for the
Freshies VS. brought to close by a
dance at the high school building
where the students. under the chap
eronage of parents. enjoyed dancing
until IL p. m.
Freshmen speak of the success Of
the bag-rush only In whispers, lest
some big sophomore overhear and a
spanking might be in order, when

WILL HUNT W|lD HORSE!
BUTTE VALLEY REGION

The cow-punchers in Butte valley
where the air-planes landed this
week have originated scheme TO
capture the thousands of wild horses
that range through Long Valley
and Butte valley.
While talking with the aviator who
was waiting at the Thirty mile
ranch for assistance, the punchers
told him about the great herds of
wild horses in that country and he
declared that he could put the whole
herd In corrall If the punchers
would build one large enough to
hold them. According to the bunk
house gossip, the aviator agreed to
come back sometime this fall with a
plane and round up the fuzz-tails.
Wild horses are more plentiful in
this part of White Pine County than
any other part of the state and the
ranchers have complained to the
board of county commissioners of
the damage being done to the range.
This Is the only section of the coun-
try where a permit to kill wild
horses has been granted by the CON-
missioners. Mustang hides arc
bringing over three dollars in the
market and some of the trappers In
this district are shooting and skim
ming horses during the warm season.
Pilot Eaton told the men at the
Thirty-Mile ranch that in the near
future there would be as many as
fifty air plans day going over this
part of the country. The new air
mail route will require great num-
ber of planes and Ely and vicinity
will be under the route travelled by
the transcontinental air service.

ELY AND EUREKA
TO PLAY BALL
TODAY


The Eureka bali players arrived
last night by auto from Eureka and
will play the Ely team on the ball
grounds at Ely this afternoon. Sew
eral cars Of Eureka fans arrived with
the team and from the conversation
OF the rooters the visitors will add
another victory to the long list of
the team that has met with but one
defeat during the past season.
The Ely team is just as confident
that 1t will lower the winning aver
age of the visitors and Is of the opin-
ion that 1t would be unfair to treat
Eureka different from Phoebe.
The lineup for the Eureka team
is as follows:
Cline. shortstop, Rebaleti. catch
er; Mann, third baseman: Cardinslt.
pitcher. Peter Marialdi. frst base
man; Vim. Marialdi. righ tielder:
Rattazzi. center fielder.
Manager Father will be substitute
and the second baseman will be an
Ely player. owing to the vacancy in
this position on the visitors team.
The lineup for the Ely team had
not been determined last night, but
Manager Leigh is going to put his
best men on the diamond as he real.
izcs that the Eureka boys are hard
team to beat and every man must be
on his toes from the time the game
Is called to the finish.
Baseball in Ely lie coming into It's
own again and 1t is believed that next
season will see the forming Of an
eastern Nevada league with plenty Of
good supporters.
The next move Is Tn prepare =
suitable ball grounds with a fence
and lay out a diamond where the
players won't have to swallow sever
al pounds of mill dust in game.
1t is likely that an organization
will be formed in the city this winter
for the purpose of promoting the ma
tional sport IN this city.

ing out on one of the wings ap-
parently asleep. He was aroused by
the ranchers and when 1t was learn

water he was taken to the ranch and
