High Wins
Last Game

Saturday afternoon the High school
base ball team brought home another
victory, winning over Sank City by a
score of 10 to l. Sank threatened
Baraboo in every inning but due to
the fielding they went the same as
scoreless. Gust, the freshman spit

thought the game was won, but
through the twirling of George Cooper.

GREAT FALLS
Special to The Tribune

Butte. Dec. S.-The Montana inter
scholastic football championship OF
1922 will be held Saturday afternoon
when Great Falls high and Miles City
(Custer County, representatives Of the
Northern and Eastern districts meet on
Clark field here.
All indications Friday night assured
good weather and a large crowd is
virtually guaranteed. Crowds Of stud
ents and other fans have been arriving
on every train today. More than Q
are expected from Miles City. The
same number have come from Great
Falls and Helena and upwards of 300
will make the trip from Anaconda.
The field has been scraped of what
little snow fell the last week, and it
is said by School of Mines officials who
are in charge Of the titular battle that
lit is a fast gridiron.' This will IN
doubtedly be the gridiron classic Of the
year. with two of the best elevens con
tending which have been developed II
recent years. Butte Rotarians signed
up a guarantee for 50 members at $40
each to insure against deficit.

MINOR LEAGUE
STARS STAY
ON TEAMS
s1OO.O 900 Price for Kamm Only
Starter, Says Coast
President.

Neu York. Dec. S.-Dr. Charles II.
Strub, president of the San f'ranclsco
baseball club. who has been in this city
irving to induce the Giants to train
in the Pacific coast city next year, ana
who sold Kamm for 100000 and
O'Connell for $4,000, says the limit on
the sale of players has not yet oeen
reached. ~
II don't see why the record price OF
800. 900 we received from the White
Sox for third baseman, Willie kamm,
will not be passed sometime sald LIZ.
Strub. when he sold Jimmy OCon-
nell to the Giants for S75,00o they SAID
that price was ridiculous, and no one
would ever pay such a price again. Inc
White Sox did, and $4,000 more, TO
obtain kamm. And they had TO, or
lose out in the bidding.
"Iu tell YOU why the limit has not
heen reached in the price for minor
league stars. Kamm and .O'Connell,
7 am convinced. will star IN the Dig
leagues from the first day they break
in. This is not my opinion alone. 1t
is the Judgment of every official and
unofficial scout of every major league
club that looked at the W players.
Every club in both big leagues wanted
these two because they're great ball
PLAYERS, and because they are young
and have their future before them.
Isn't it a better gamble for a big
league club to pay a record sum for
young players, out of whom they can
get many seasons work, than it is to
pay huge sums for a veteran, who at
best has but a few seasons to go, n
not all of them at his best speed? Re
CARELESS of what some critics think,
there are minor leaguers who can de-
liver in big league society. After the
season is under way, and it is discoy-
cred that OConnell and Kamm are all
that the clubs that bought them thought
they were at the time, you'll find a
drive on for other players. These two
will prove that the big prices paid for
them were really corking good invest
ments.'

team of II heavy and shifty men, who
are always after the ball and ready
to turn any opposing error into a
score. More than half of these men
will be back in toys here next fall.
Charters, Murphy, Captain Baier. &.
Anderson and Lowry are playing their
last game this afternoon. Lowry does
not bow thanks for a sheepskln IN
June. but his family has shifted the
Lares and Penates to Seattle, and Del
will probably be playing an end on one
Of the coast city elevens after the 1878
season breaks.
Nor is the Miles City record without
impressiveness. But Is niggardly
points have been registered against it
and no more than a single touchdown
in one fray, as in the case of the Blue
and White. Although the Custer OPP
ponents do not stack up formldably as
a whole. there are certain games which
can be accounted an excellent index of
strength. Billings was handed the
small end of a Is to 0 proceeding.
Williston, runner up for the North
Dakota title this year. succumhed, is
to g. According to Coach McAuliffe of
this team looked very tough
to him, and he is reported as saying it
appears stronger than Great Falls.
Williston has the Flickertail state in
tterscholastic title for three years until
this season, when Bismarck's strong
eleven copied the flag.
Miles City Strong
Playing Livingston, champions of the
Southern district, for semi-final elm
nations, Miles City was at it's best.
The game was in Livingston, and on a
muddy grid, but Custer poked up "a
TALES in the so minutes of play. to Il
lone Park touchdown. This indicates
offensive power of no mean extent.
The Powder River coach is Charley
McAuliffe of Butte high and Mines
college fame and has had marvellous
success in this, his first, year at the
COW town.
Sweet and Cranston are the out
standing stars of the Custer lineup.
Sweet, fullback, is fast and powerful
on both offense and defense and one
of the best high school kickers in the
state. In the Livingston game his
p%unting average was A yards. Grams
ton. an all-state end on most 1921
mythicals, is sure to figure in any for
ward passing which Custer tries.

Pressl.-After bearing evidence or

R1tte boxing commission Friday dis

principals in a bout. Thursday night
that ended in the sixth round when
Murphy went to the floor claiming a

no evidence of any blow that could
have disabled him. The referee Doc
FLYNN. who declared the match no CON
test and asserted that it was a frame

pulling their punches all the way, and
that he had warned them in earlier
rounds. He said he was just preparing
to stop it and call it no contest when
Murphy went to the floor.
Under the ruling both boxers are
suspended for 80 days, and VIII forfeit
the guaranteed purse. Schlalffer &C

STAGE ALL SET
FOR REVISION
OF GOLF RULES
Putt Draws Cross Fire From
Fans Who Fail to Agree
With Professionals.

New York, Dec. S.-The stage is all
set for an agreement that will have the
golf rules throughout the playing world
in perfect unanimity. The way was
paved for the general code last Janu-
ary, ct which time Albert r. Gates,
president of the Western body, was
an honored guest at the annual meet
ing Of the United States Golf associ-
alton.
1t was during the national open at
Skokie that J. F. Byers. president of
the national organization, and Gates
got together with regard to an inter
national code of rules to govern the
playing Of golf. St Andrews was con-
suited and joined reilly in the move
ment, which came close to success
when Robert A. Gardner, former ma
tiona1 champion, took up the matter
the previous year with the Royal and
Ancient. The only trouble then was
in golf as In politics.
Hooman III
It was then agreed that c. V.
Hooman. named as manager of the
British team to ONE to this country,
should have authority to act for st.
Andrews. but an unfortunate illness at
the last moment compelled Hooman to
remain in Great Britain. and the plan
had temporarily to be abandoned. Now
the understanding is that Gates will
represent the western, Gardener the
e. S. G. A. while st. Andrews has
already named its representative, ana
it seems probable that the new rules
will be in effect before next May.
Incidentally, at the annual meeting
of the Western Golf association, the
constitution will be amended, providing
that the retiring president shall have
an honorary title and remain an active
member Of the board.
A golfer on the other side has estab-
lished a record by playing around q
5000 yard course in forty-seven min
utes. II there is one story which is
heard more often on a golf links than
Il can never play when I'm held up
and waiting on every tee" it would be
the protest Il can't play when I'm
hurried"
Putt Difficult Point
The putt which has been stared at
longest is by no means the one which
goes the straightest way for the hole.
and an address which takes as long as
an election speech to deliver is rarely
the preliminary to a superlatively good
drive. Some players lose time not so
much over the shot themselves as by
ambling gently over the ground that
~intervenes between them. If taxed with
their dilatory progress they explain
that to hurry would be to leave their
nerves ~decemposed for the shot which
awaits them.
1t may be wondered how often they
| have put this point to any serious test.
In many other games right down
! breathIessness is not supposed to inter
fere with the accurate control OF
muscle and nerve; why should the
| slightest suspicion OF it be regarded as
so inevitable a handicap for golf?

INTERNATIONAL
LEAGUE STANDS
PAT ON DRAFT
Officials Satisfied With Way
Baseball Is Run
ming.

New York, Dec. 8.-Nothing has
happened in the past year to make the
International league change it's atti-
tude on the draft. The class A. A.
league of the Atlantic seaboard is well
satisfied with the way baseball now is
run, and sees no reson why it should
return TO pre-war drafting days. SO
spoke John Conway Toole, president of
the "Ints." in discussing the affairs
of his league and the entire minor
league situation.
"Our thoughts on the draft is the
same, as it was a year ago" said
Toole, land our present arrangement
with the major league is most salts
league is prosperous and has regained
war, so why change things?"
Toole. expressed the thought that
even if Jack Dunn did not sell any
more players. the Baltimore club
would not rule the roost next year
the way it has done in the past four
years. He made that assertion despite
the fact that Baltimore easily defeated
st. Paul in the little worlds series
the Orioles winning five games out of
seven.
every club is bound to show the
wear and tear of winning four p~ennant
races" continued Toole. Few clubs
hold together that long. Even if Dunn
doesn't sell another player, / am sure
his club will have to fight all of next
season with such clubs as Rochester,
Buffalo and Toronto next season.
Il do not look for any changes in our
league when We hold our annual meet
ing. Our present circuit is satisfactory.
OF course. second division clubs do not
pay as well as those in the first divis-
ion, but what league can operate with
out its second division and tail-end
clubs?
Newark will remain in the league
and a sincere effort will be made to
build up the club next season. Newark
should be one of our best cities. Even
with its badly situated park and a
tail-ender it did not do SO badly last
season."
