STATEMENT BY UMPIRE

In fairness to all concerned wish to
make tn following statement con-
corning the accidental injury of vi
roqua player by pitched ball in the
Viola iroqua game July 4. The pitch
ed ball in question was an "inshort"
which the batter guessed would be an
"outcurve" over the plate. This is
everyday baseball and can not be call
ed intentional. Pitcher Benn of Viola
played the manly part in assisting his
opponent from the field and later adj
vising him to get the best medical
attention at Benn's expense. Benn
was pitching a beautiful game until
the accident occurred and should be
sympathized with in the same spirit
as is his opponent.
/ have investigated this case as to
the above facts and as umpire was in a
position to watch the ball.

tons in tle Northwest and the only
one of it's kind III Montana.
The Tribune's set consists of two
50-watt power tubes, a five-watt
speech simplifying circuit. which is the
latest Improvement in wireless tele-

operate IN a 360-meter wave length
and is the same size as the broadcast

which are picked up almost daily in
