ended it.
Sam Rice's single to center
opened the Griffs' ninth and Wat
sons wild heave to McInnis sent
him over to third. He came dash
ing over the plate when GosIin
hammered q sharp single to CEN
ter, Wade hit into double play
and the Griffs were done scoring
for the day.
Pete Japan caught the first four
innings and did neat job. His
catch OF Felix's foul fly in the
fourth called for excellent judgment
in the sun and wind, and when
Conlon tried to steal after walking
in the third, Japan had him with
yards to spare. His peg to Gagnon
was perfection.
The Brooklyn Robins come over
for a game here tomorrow. They
will find Dad Hankins and Jonk-
heer HoIlingsworth on the mound

cially the rockies. are boiling over
with desire to trim the Robins and

Waverly's early start would in
dictate that they have not the slight
est idea Of loosening their grip upon
the pair of championships won by
them last year while sporting the
colors of Holy Name Juniors and
Holy Name Seniors.
Foley, Augustine or Trip will
pitch for the Juniors tomorrow.
The Seniors will be represented on
the mound by Mccormick Burdine
or Garrison, although there is a
possibility that Tom O'Connor,
newcomer may get his try-out in
this contest.
Southpaw Tom Foley. of the Jun
iors is reputed to be the best of
the pitchers among local juniors.
He alternateS at first base, SEEM
ing quite as much at home on the
initial sack as he is on the hill.
Last year he compiled a batting
average Of 1916, which includes nine
homers and fourteen triples.

In support Of this belief, the
rumor mongers point to- the fact
that Rawlings has been named to
accompany the Giant second team
on a narrowing tour of the south
ern hamlets and Jackson elected 10
ride the cushions with the first
team.
1t is significant that Ralph
SINNERS enjoyed the distinction
of being a regular on the train
ing trip last year. He is cOnsid-
cred quite an irregular now.
The passing of Rawlings, if ever,
will depend on several conditions.
If, for example, Heinie Groh leaves
some doubt as to whether his world
series comeback lacked permanency,
McGraw could not or would not
give up Rawlings at the point of
a gun. He could no more afford to
take a chance with green infield-
err in the midst Of a championship
campaign than a human fly can af-
ford Mysteries.
AS q matter. of fact Rawlings
will depart only i'm the event that
no pitcher is developed who can
take a day.tO-day turn with Nehf,
Scott and McQuiIlen.
The Giants only tangible weak
ness is questionable pitching and If
Rawlings is to be tossed onto the
market, it will be with the under
standing that the club wishing to
do business for him must be willing
to part with pitcher of some con-
siderable standing in the community.

To which, he replied as follows:
''Well, anybody who doesn't count
us in the race is simple enough to
think ear muffs will sell in Florida. :"
1t may be that Mr.. Speakers
phraseology was not exactly as we
have quoted him. It may be that he
said nothing at all about ear muffs.
It may be that he has never worn
an ear muff in his whole life.
But what he did say was posi-
tive and to the point and was uIl-
Qualifiedly expressive Of sincere
belief that the revamped and re-
modelled Indians will win at least
q few ball games this year.
The grim-faced experts who are

mind you, but great staff.
And on top of these encouraging
symptoms is the very evident fact
that the team, as q whole, has
finally recovered from tho success
it enjoyed in 1920, when Brooklyn
was downed in the big series. That
spirit of hilarity and rollicking
adventure which cut into the ef-
forts of some of the clubs most
gifted performers, following the
championship experience Of 1920,
has entirely disappeared.
AS to the snake UP Of the team,
Speaker has definitely decided upon
everything with the exception OF
his pitchers.

club for several years, replaces
Stuffy McInnis at first base.

CANYON ROAD May

PLAN TO RUN ROAD AROUND
CEDAR MOUNTAIN BEING IN
VESTIGATED-- UP KEEP
LESS BY THOUSANDS

L. E. Laird, Superintendent of the
State Highway Commission was in
Cody this week in connection with
matters pertaining to a proposed
change in the road from Cody to the
North Fork.
The Federal Road Bureau have
made a survey of a proposed road
around Cedar Mountain up the South
Fork to a point and then across to
the North Fork.
The project has not as yet been
definately decided upon, and is still
under investigation as to its merits
and any advantage or benefit that
might be derived from its construc-
ton, but if it should be put through
it would eliminate the road through
the canyon and the cost of the up
keep of it, while the proposed new
road would entail an expense of ap-
proximately $2s7,OOO.O0
1t is understood that a meeting is
being held in Powell today at which
several of our businessmen and mem
bers of the Cody Club will be present,
and the matter of the proposed road
will be thoroughly discussed.

Tim NC COY WILL
GO TO The TOP
IN PICTURE WORLD
MAKING GOOD WHEREVER
HE'S PUT, SAYS AGENT OF
BIG COMPANY-LAUGHED
AT HIS DERBY

The news that Tim Mccoy is 60
ing to the top fast in the movies is
no surprise to those who have be-
lieved this versatile chap could do
about anything he put his mind to.
The Basin Rustler publishes an in
terview with H. w. Braley, a repres-
entative of Paramount-the picture
company that filmed "The Covered
Wagon"
According to Braley, says the
R~ustler, Mccoy went to Los Angeles
determined that he would get into
the movies. Feeling that he wanted
to try it first with one of the biggest
companies, he proceeded at once to
Lasky of the Paramount.
He had on a derby hat, and you
know how a derby strikes most folks
of the west. Lasky put him down as
a joke.
Some days later, when the company
had started on the work of filming
"The Covered Wagon" they had a lot
of trouble with the xen Mccoy
heard about it and came to the lot,
where he told them he knew all about
oxen. They put him on the job of
handling the oxen and he made good.
Still later troubler arose in the
handling of the buffalo, which the
company had secured from the govern
ment reserve. They now thought
they had a real test for Mccoy and
he was sent for. Again he made
good. Then came the time for the
Indians to be on the job. A wire
came at the last moment that the man
who had the contract to get them
could not produce them. Mccoy was
sent for and within a remarkably
short time he had all kinds of Indians
on the job.
In everything he has been given to
do he has made good.
Today "The Covered Wagon" is be-
ing shown at Los Angeles at $3.50 a
seat. Before each show there is an
prologue, with Mccoy as the speaker
He appears before his audience dress
ed in a pair of white puttees, skin
tight trousers, skin-tight shirt and q
~four-gallon hat. He is 1T with CAPT.
tai letters and Braley says he has as
surance from the Paramount people
that he will go big in the movies

WHAT DID OLESON
SAY, IS QUESTION
RANcHER ARRESTED FOR DE-
flaming CHARACTER OF E.
]. GOPPERT; JAILED BY
COUNTY ATTY

E. ]. Goppert has had Carl oleson
arrested, chargin him with defama-
ton of his, Goppert's character, and
everyone is wondering what Oleson
could have said? Oleson is now in
Jail awaiting a hearing before Judge
Marston when he will very likely
be bound over for trial at the next
term of the district court.
Oleson accused Goppert of snoop-
ing about his ranch east of town dur
ing his absence. This Goppert denied
and took offense at the accusation
though why is not clear as the countys
extremely active prosecuting attor-
ney makes a practice of going out in
search of evidence himself.
The encounter between Oleson and
Goppert took place in one of the
garages when the prosecuting attor-
ney swears Oleson said things reflect
ing on his character and antecedants.
Mr.. Goppert felt these insults keenly
and wants damages for his lacerated
and injured feelings.

SHERIFF GATHERS
IN EMIL BOANDER
LOOMS TEACHES HIM NEW
HOLD IN WRESTLING: HAD
PINT OF MOONSHINE ON
HIS HIP

Emil Boander was arrested on Sun
day afternoon by Sheriff Loomis and
charged with possession and Trans
%portation of liquor.
Sheriff Loomis with his family
were enroute to Powell when he over
took Boander on the road east of
town, and certain circumstances
prompted the sheriff to believe that
business should take precedence over
pleasure, so he stopped Boander and
informed him that he was under ar
rest.
Boander was inclined to protest
thus being summarily arrested, and
when ordered to leave his car and go
with the sheriff, he took n firm grip
on the steering wheel of his car and
strongly demurred, but he must have
failed to take into consideration the
fact that Sheriff Loomis was in his
younger days quite a well known
wrestler, as he suddenly found his.
self flat on his back in the road, and
without further protest he decided
that discretion was necessary to his
well-being.
"A search Of his person revealed q
pint OF high-power moon-shine and
ne was ut once taken to the county
Jail, where he is being held pending
action by Judge Metz ut the next

being guilty to the possession OF

John F. Cook was greatly surpris-

ment as member of the State Board
of Equalization. Mr.. Cook has de-
cided to accept the place offered him

the qualifications necessary to make
an able and efficient member of the
Board.

right thinking people of our town are
fairly well able to distinguish the
right from the wrong. The recently
elected members of the Town Coun-
Gil declared themselves before the
election substantially as follows:
We favor and insist upon an un-
limited supply of water as can be OBJ
tanned, both from hose and bitches.
We desire that the Town shall have
the best and cheapest lighting system
obtainable and we pledge ourselves
that when the question arises, that
the people shall have every %opportuni
ty to express themselves, and we will
act in accord with the viii of the citi-
zens as thereby expressed.
We believe that the law in regard
to prohibiting members of the Council
from being interested in contracts
with the Town, or using their posi-
tons for personal p~ecuniary gain,
should be strictly enforced, and we
pledge ourselves accordingly.
We do not recognize any regional
distinctions in our Town, our inter-
ests are for CODY and we pledge
our concerted efforts for a united and
harmonious Cody to the best inter-
ests of all.
Inasmuch as Messrs Thurston,
Tinkcom and Frost are men of in
tegrity, loyalty and honesty of pur-
pose, it is safe to assume that their
to tn people of Cody will mean
much to our town, for they bring
their best efforts to bear in giving
Cody an economical, capable and
business-like administration.

C0STSS1.00T TO
/" kICKAN EDITOR
A. S. McCLAIN FINED FOR
LEAVING FOOT PRINT ON
BOSOM OF L. L. NEW
TOMS TROUSERS

Passersby on Third Street yester-
day morning, were startled to see L.
L. Newton suddenly shoot through
the door of the Electric Light Co.'S.
office onto the sidewalk with A.. S.
McClain's broad No. 10 firmly plant
ed on the bosom of his trousers.
1t appears that the Herald's editor
started a wrangle in the street over
the electric light question and follow
ed McClain into the office to continue
it.
McClain, who stammers somewhat,
and was therefore handicapped in any
argument with his voluable opponent,
suddenly showed where he stood on
the subject by taking Newton by the
collar and the slack of his trousers,
using his foot to hasten his departure.
Newton then limped up to the
courthouse and swore out a warrant
through E. j. Goppert. This was
served on McChin by Sheriff Loomis.
Then Sam Forrest, water commission
-er and day marshall, escorted him be-
fore Police Judge Owens who held
court in his barber shop ana fined
him s1.00.
As this seemed too little to pay for
the privilege of kicking an editor,
Newton swore out another warrant
and McClain was fined $1,000 by
Justice of the Peace Marston.
Then Arthur Evans, reputed to
have some skill as a wrestler, took up
the cudgels for Newton. Meeting
McCfain On the street he demanded
to know what he meant by kicking
the Supt. of the Methodist Sunday
School, accompanying the demand by
certain significant movements which
presaged battle.
McClain, carrying a bucket of nails
and an iron rod, gripped the latter
suggestively and stammered that he
was ready for war at a minutes notice
and would take him on right there,
If that was what he wanted.
Evans concluded that he was too
proud to fight, and vanished.
These minor happenings contribut-
ed no little to the gayety and excite
ment of Tuesdays election.
1t would seem as if muscle were as
essential to a member of the Herald
staff as grey matter since it was only
a few weeks ago that Mr.. Newton's
partner, E. F. Shaw, was wearing
an astonishing black eye as the result
of the belief, which he seems to share
IN common with Mr.. Newton, that he
a say anything to anybody and get
away with it.

Plans are being formulated for a
boxing and wrestling entertainment
to be held in Cody in the e future.
These contests will be given under
the auspices Of the Local Voiture of
the 40 and 8 of the American Legion
and will take place in the Temple
Theatre.
The funds raised will be used to
purchase a wrestling mat for the boys
of the town who are under the in
struction of Sheriff Loomis
The promoters Of the affair have
already arranged for several good
bouts between some of the smaller
boys and several of the highschool
boys have also shown their willing
ness to enter the contests.
Efforts are being made to arrange
an exhibition wrestling match be-
tween Goldsby Of Cody and Boul-
ware OF Meeteetse, as well as n ten
round boxing match between High
tower Of Greybull and Young Yon of
Burlington. These boys are fast and
clever boxers and willing mixers and
would round out n very entertaining
card. Announcement will be made
later as to the date Of the contests.
