Many Won 30 Games

These days when major league hurler threatens to touch the 30 mark in victories everyone interested in base ball begins to pull for that hurl- CT, for it Is a rarity these times. In the olden days it was common stuff for hurlers to win 30 or more games. This was because hurlers of those times pitched more games per sea- son, consequently, If they were on a good team, to win 30 games wasn't considered much of a feat. Here is case where, in any period, 1t would be considered remarkable feat In 1887. under the four-strike rule and other restrictions placed on the hurl- CT, Matty Kilroy, pitching for the Baltimore club of the American as- boeiation, then major league, hurled 69 complete games, winning IT, losing 20. two being tie. Kil- roy was southpaw and this is a record for all left-handers in games won in a season. Of course, Kilroy's record was made under the 50-foot pitching distance. Frank Killen, fla nous southpaw hurler of the Pitts burg club back in the nineties, holds she record for games won by south ,aws under the heightened pitching distance.

 During Playing Days

President comiskey of the Chfcago White sox in the days when he was Charlie miskey, the greatest first baseman in big league baseball, also the greatest player manager, re- ceived from Chris Won de Aho, his boss, the sum of S1.0S3.s3 per month for managing. explaining and play ing first base for the St. Louis Browns, four times winner of the American association pennant.
 John D. Brush. in 1892, paid Com iskey considerably more than that when he signed the great leader to pilot the Cincinnati team. Commy was about the highest salaried player of those times. However, his salary for am onth wouldn't pay Cobb. Speaker, Hornshy or Ruth's salary for one week.

At last Birmingham has a classic football game to head its Thanks giving menlu. In 1923. oa Turkey Day, University of Alabamas Grim son tide win encounter the Alligator of University of Florida, and the game will be played at Redwood park, Birmingham, Ala.
 Announcement of the Alabama Florida game for next season at Birmingham was made by Univer- sity of Florida athletic officials yes terday. Along with the bit of in formation came further announce ments that Florida will meet Army and Georgia Tech next season also. quite an ambitious undertaking for the Gators.
 Birminghams Thanksgiving game for the past several years has been between Alabama and Mississippi A. & NJ. Although the Aggies are hard fighters, and have put up some good games against the Crimsons, the af- fair ha4 ceased to be a drawing card and crowd of only three or four thousand has been considered good for the game.

 Of the Magic City's 1923 schedule.
 Birmingham grldiron fans will
 see Alabama, Sewanee, Auburn.
 Centre and Florida in action next
 season, with maybe another ma
 jor team added to the list short
 Iy after the first of the year.
 Birmingham Southern and Howard, Birminghams own colleges, for years have made 1t their custom to stage an annual game for the city championship. Panthers and Bull dogs usually put up the best fight of the season for Birmingham, and fandom has suggested time and time again that the Howard Birmingham Southern game be made the Magic City's Thanksgiving classic.
 The two Birmingham institutions had a chance to get the Thanksgiv- ing date for 1922. but turned 1t down, showing preference to the Saturday before Turkey Day
 That date has proven g. good one for the two teams and an open Thanksgiving date gave officials a chance to book two of leading teams for a game here then.

was still fondling, can be attributed
aptly to the habits of certain vener-
able gentlemen Of the city who in
their youth were wont to disport and
regale themselves. The Eighteen
Mile hill, many miles short of that
length, came by its name not only be-
cause of the toll house, but also a
road house located Is miles from the
early-day stage depot. The name has
survived as Nemesis for tourists,
but the road house has gone the way
of time-imposed decadence. 1t was
conducted by West Mccall, famous
old fellow, whose sons are now prom
inent citizens of Whitehall, and was
freQuented by Butte business men
who occasionally, even in those days,
styled themselves tired business
men" and sought convivial surcease
from business worry and care.

brought home the blue ribbon, and
was instrumental in helping Gala

Kraft wheat tested 63.6 pounds to the
busheI. Canadian wheat on exhibi-
ton at the International show was
heavier, weighing 64.7 pounds, but
the exhibit was made up of smaller
kernels than the Montana material.
Kraft is married and has two chill
dren. He was in the army 10
months. and was one of the first
Gallatin county men to enlist when
war was declared. He was overseas
nine months with the Ninety-first d.

Before the war he farmed with his
father, but upon returning home pur-
chased the 152 acres of land on which
the winning grain was raised. The
Kraft family has lived in the Gala
tin for IL years. having farmed in
Montgomery county, ILL.,, before that
time.

Mr.. Kraft did not realize that he
was growing prize-winning wheat,
and 1t is with genuine modesty that
he takes his throne. For the last 10
years his father has been raising
crops from the same seed, and never
attempted to exhibit any of the re-
suits. This year when the Gallatin
county fair exhibitor asked for a
sample of the grain to show at the
state fair. he was told to help himself.

TIE UP OF WHOLE ANTHRACITE FIELD
 IS THREATENED

PITTSBURGH, Pa.: Not since 1902 when the anthracite industry was all most completely tied up by six months strike of the United Mine Workers of America, has the hard coal fields faced a situation fraught with greater danger of industrial stagnation than at present; but dangerous as the situation really is, there is back of it is the belief that peace is not impos- sible and that April 1 may see no closing down of anthracite mines.
 Anthracite operators are not talking strike. Neither are the United Mine Workers. Yet each side is preparing for emergency.
 While there is an open break be- tween the bituminous men and their employers, d like situatio ndoes not exist in the anthracite. Hard coal mi nerS and operators will at least go into a conference. While the time and place for such a conference has not yet been fixed it is a certainty that formal meetings will be held.
 There is a difference-perhaps so big as to be stumbling block for pepace-OYer the terms of a new agree ment The United Mine Workers have written into tentative set of demands the terms under which they are willing to negotiate a new contract. Chief of these is the question of wages, where miner is paid on the amount of coal he handles and flat increase of one dollar per day for men paid on the daily basis. On this point the opera tors have fixed nothing definite in the way of wage scale, but they do main tain that for public benefit and in the interest of the industry there must be downward revision of the pay rates. The companies have promised to pass along any downward revision to the consumer, meaning cheaper fuel.
 Boiled down, the situation is this: The miners are asking 20 per cent above their present contract. The operators will demand a reduction in what they term war time rates" Pres

ident John l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers has declared, There must be no step backward" The con- panies are claiming such step is ne- cessary.
 AS the situation draws to the point where cards must be laid on the table there comes to light in many ways evi- dence of preparations for the worst. The Hudson Coal Company with many
 collieries, has started the building of large trained police force. Leon Pri-
 cher, the highest priced police chief Wilkesbarre has ever had, has joined
 the company and will be in charge of the force protecting the mines. Attor- ney General Daugherty has notified the , miners that no violence or interference , with non-union men will be tolerated i by the government. 1 Among the men is silent prepara' | tion to meet long strike. Business l depression has not set in on large scale. but sufficient to indicate that the | mine- and his family are hoard1ng their money, and free spending has
 been curtailed.

 RAILORAD BE bOUCHl

CORDOVA: The Cordova Chamber ol Commerce has been asked by Nome citizens to use their influence to secure immediate action necessary for the purchase of the Seward peninsula rail- road for the territory, for which pur- chase $30000 at the last session of the legislature.
 Since then a controversy has arisen between the Pioneer mining company 9nd the territorial and federal road commissions as to the price and value of the road Nome advises that if the coad is not purchased the Pioneer com pany will early this summer scrap the road from the end of the ditch line to Shelton.
 The people of the Second division are very much disappointed at the failure to purchase the railroad as per appropriation, and feel that it is worth more than the company is asking for it. If the purchase is made the Fed eral road commission will repair same for light traffic, which they contend will mean much more towards the de- velopment of that section.
