New York, Sept. 17.-Listen while
the tale Of September Is is reeled from
the baseball chronicler's log. Only once
within the last five years has team

September Is blew up between then and
grand panjandrnm raised up to reward
those who had performed meritoriously.
Cleveland was the recipient Of the red
banner with the little red tassel.
In 1915 in the National league,
BROOKLYN led September Is with .594.
Philadelphia was second with 5S3 and
Boston third with ST.. At the finish
of the race they were in the same order,
but Brooklyn had gained, having $40.

the American league Boston led on

on September Is New York led the
National league, Philadelphia was sec

son closed New York was still first
with 1886 and Philadelphia second with

The American league in 1917 found
Chicago running away September Is

still led with .651. while New York was
second with .573. In the American
league on August Is Boston was .538
and Cleveland .568. That was. some
struggle and the beginning of Cleve-
lands greatness. Both teams pulled up
and fought it out to the line, Boston
finishing with 1916, while Cleveland had
$50.
Then came 1919 with conditions re-
stored to something like normal and
with two teams in the National that
had little class-Cincinnati and New
York. On September Is Cincinnati was
500 and they played the right kind of
ball. because at the finish Of the sea-
son they were 1856, difference of only
four points. New York was second on
September 10 with .e25 and finished
.621. In the American Chicago was first
in 1919 with .651 September Is while
Cleveland was second with .591 and
Detroit third with 1886. Both Of the
place teams gave Chicago all that it
wanted between September Is and the
finish Of the season. but when it was
over Chicago was winner. with 500,
while Cleveland was second, having
climbed up to .604. and Deroit was third
with SIG for it's share.
Race Of 1920.
The American league gave even bet
ter run in 1920 On September Is
New York led with .624. Cleveland was
second with 500 and Chicago third with
6O7 At the finish Cleveland had .636
and was in front. with Chicago second
for 623 and New York third with .617.
All Of which was charged more or less
correctly to the horrible showing of the
Yankees after they left Detroit on their
last western trip.
In the National in 1920 there was
another great battle. this time between
Brooklyn ana Cinci'/ati September Is
found Brooklyn ahead but shaky and
with .592. The Cincinnatis had $50
and New York with .555, ready to step

IL any one faltered. Brooklyn stumbled
and slid until it got safely over the
course. finishing in front with .6O4,
while New York ran away from Gin
cinnati, the Reds flunking horribly,
and was second with .530, Cincinnati
being third with $3.50.
There is scarcely a gnawed bone Of
encouragement in these figures for the
teams that were behind Septembr IS
this year. The race is closer between
the leaders this year, but both pace
makers have been downed and there
does not seem to be enough left in them
to come back. # they do, they will make
some new history.

SHOTGUN EXPERTS
REPORT POOR LUCK
IN SEEKING DUCKS
Many Reasons Given by Hunt
ers for Failure to Bring
Back Birds.

The sight Of returning huntsmen with
burdensome strings Of ducks was miss
ing on the opening day Of the hunting
season, September 16, and likewise on
Saturday. the second day Of the sea
son. Reports Of the week prior to the
opening of the season indicated that
there would be little difficulty found
in "winging" the limit of 20 provided
for each person under the ruling of the
state game and fish commission. But
those who left Great Falls Thursday
the season and those also who de-
parted on Friday for their favorite
haunts. found that the matter was
more difficult. Tourists had come to
Great Falls remarking of the wonder
full prospects for the best duck hunt
ing season in years, reporting sloughs
and ponds within a short distance
from Great Falls as black with the
quest of huntsmen, but when the Great
Falls shooters took their positions at
the various former haunts OF the low
land birds they were disappointed.
"AIIbIs" Are Many.
Many reasons are given for the fail
IRE to bring back q large number OF
duck. Some stated that the places
they sought were within cover and it
was impossible to get a good shot at
the birds. Others blamed the storm Of
the past 10 days for the lack of ducks
and others blamed the day. The day
preceding the opening of the season
were ideal but Friday. the opening day
of the season, turned out to be any
thing but a good duck day. The birds
had too much room to fly in and but
an occasional shot at distant flock
was the best many hunters were afford

Other members of the party had similar
luck but none of them brough back the
limit. Billy Grills. Mr.. Hussman's next
door neighbor in business, did not
response Mr.. Cribs would make when
asked where he had been and how
many ducks be brought back. It went
around that he brought back enough
for small meal but none of them were
served at the Gerald Cafe, Of which
the hapless huntsman is the proprietor.
Byron De Forest and party. who
went to Kallao Lake. 80 miles south
west of Great Falls, had better luck
than the average and brought back
close to the limit. The majority Of the
ducks brought back were northern.
Lakes Lack Cover.
HARDWOOD Lake, which has always
been one of the best duck spots in the
state, is reported as little better than
the rest this season. Lost Lake be-
tween Geraldine and Fort Benton is
reported to be good and in the past has
been one Of the favorite spots of the
huntsmen who knew the grounds, but
the shooting is difficult. This and
Highwood Lake, just out Of Highwood,
are considered as good as any in the
state, but there is a lack Of cover at
these places. The best opportunity at
Lost Lake is to shoot from the top
Of cliff surrounding the lake, over
the top of which the birds fly when
startled.
A large number of hunters left Great
Falls Saturday and many signified
their intention of going out Sunday,
undaunted by the failure of others to
bring in many ducks.

INSTITUTE MAY HAVE

Taxpayers Budget Insuff. cient-City Meeting to
 Be Held Tonight.

Fears were expressed today by those familiar with the business of the New Britain Institute that, in the event of the passage tonight of the New Britain Taxpayers Protective as- sociation budget, the Institute will be obliged to operate on shorter hours, curtail it's service and do away. en- tirelv with the East street branch. About one-half the amount recom- mended in the budget of the board of finance and taxation is allowed in the list of estimates compiled by the tax organization.
 The library this year was run as usual by exceeding its income by $7,- 900 hoping thnt the city would make up the deficit and vote an adequate amount for the coming year, it is ex- plained. 1t now seems probable that after April 1. no one will be allowed to take books or use the reading or referente rooms who has not paid one or two dollars in advance. In that connection it is also expected that the East street branch must be given up entirely. The Institute sends about 1000 books annually to the schools of the city, but in the event of the adoption of a low tax-rate, it is probable that that service will be made impossible. At the present time, the library is open 75 hours a week. By reducing this to 45 hours week. light, heat and service can he saved and it may, those in charge believe. be possible to run the place on the interests of its trust funds and the small amounts received from fees.
 Interest in the outcome of tonight's meeting is running high throughout the city and indications are that the Arch street armory will be crowded to the doors. Registrars of Voters w. I. Ziegler and T. J. Smith will be on hand with check lists by which voters will be admitted to the hall, and will have a corps of assistants to help in the work of checking.
