SAME LINEUP TO BE USED AGAINST TECH AS ALABAMA
Friday Nights Game Starts at 8::30 and Will Be Fol-
 lowed by Dance

The second big basketball game of the week will be staged Friday night at the Birmingham Athletic club when the Athletic club Blues meet the Golden Tornado from Geor- gia Tech. The game will start at S.3o and will be followed by dance. The Woodlawn-E -Ensley High school game that was to have preceded Nhe big game has bee4 postponed Antil Saturday night.
 r The Blues seem to be at the height sof their playing ability. Their Ereat victory over the Alabama Grim esons Tuesday night was a complete Overthrow of all dope on the game. Their victory startled southern bas- Aetball followers, as they had once been beaten by Alabama, who were at the date of the game flying high. sAlabama had won 15 straight games suntil Georgia Tech beat them about "a week before the B. A. c. won from Ahem. The two teams will enter the fgame Friday night, both having ac- Romplished great feat-beating sAlabama. The results of the game 9Will go long way toward deciding the southern basketball champion ship.
 In Good Condition
 The Blues are in fine condition for the game. The only doubtful play CT is Mandy, who was forced to re- tire from the Alabama game with a charley horse. However. his leg is not figured on to give him much trouble Friday night. He has been working regular with the team this week and apparently his leg is not bothering him. The rest of the team came through the game without in- jury.
 With the same style of play that beat Alabama the locals should come out Friday night with flying coIors. Tech beat Alabama by a score of 39 to 25; the B. A. C. beat them by a score of 2S to 20. Much will depend on the defensive game of the E. A. c. Laughinhouse and Afford both played a good game against Alabama Tuesday night. Very few clear shots were taken by the Crimsons.

for new pants created lot of amuse- ment at the time.
 Slid Out of Pants
 Tn the first game in Chicago Josh Devore slid so completely out of his patched-up brooches that a cordon of players had to form around him and escort him off the field.
 Toward the end of the season our club was all worn out physically and mentally. The strain had been too hard and they were overtrained- stale. That was an abstemious club. We had no difficulty about rules of conduct.
 That is one time that I favored the use of ale or beer. The players were going around with haggard look in their eyes and heavy lines in their faces. Some one suggested that the gang would like to see Wilbert Rob inson, who had been with us in the training period. His jovial smile was always a good tonic for the players. We telegraphed for him to join us. He was in business in Baltimore at the time.
 After looking the players over he asked them: Who's dead around here? What's the matter?"
 RObby's Prescription
 With a few slaps on the back he rounded the young fellows up and put new spirit in them. He took Chief Myers. Rube Marquard and others eff that night and made them take a few glasses of ale. The pennant fight was forgotten and they laughed over spring training jokes. The psycho- logical effect was wonderful. In a little while the young fellows relaxed
 
 spurted right ahead and won out. Our club was pretty well worn out and shot to pieces when We faced the Athletics in the werlda series m 1911. I do not give that as a reason for our defeat, but 1t was contrib uting cause. The main cause of our losing that series was the wonderful hitting and pitching of the Athletics
 In that series we had two games broken up by Home Run Baker, if you will remember. Incidentally, both of these famous home runs were made off pitches that had been de- livered against orders. Marquard and Mathewson both pitched to Baker contrary to my instructions. I do not mean to say that we would have won the worlds pennant if that had not happened but we certainly would have had a better chance.
 Bakers FavOrite
 had instructed Marquard not to pitch a high, fast ball to Baker, but he forgot. He put one just in that spot and Baker s'.whammed' 1t into the stands. Strangely enough, Ma thewson, who rarely ever forgot any thing in his life, did exactly the same thing when he pitched. After ma noeuvring around awhile he handed Baker high, fast one in an effort to cross him. Again Baker slammed | 1t into the stands.
 An amusing feature of those inci- dents was the articles in the papers l by Marquard and Mathewson. Both were writing signed stories on the series. Matty told how Marquard had pitched the wrong ball to Baker When Marquard came out in his ar. ticle he agreed that Matty knew what he was talking about because he pitched the same thing. The players and the fans had good laugh out of that For the first time I we discovered that MarQuard had a sense of humor, 4. 1 Copyright, 1923. United States ana

SPECIAL ELECTION
ON TAX QUESTION

At meeting of the school board
held May 80, the financial situation
of the school and the prospects for
the coming year were thoroughly
canvassed, and it was found that a
special levy of ten mills would be
necessary in order to maintain the
present standard of the school. A
special election has therefore been
called for June 20, announcement of
which will be found on another page.
A levy of ten mills is the same as
was voted last year, and just half the
amount voted in 1921, SO it does not
mean increased taxes to the property
owners. The past year the domestic
science and commercial departments
were taken out of the curriculum as
an economy measure, since the special
levy was only half that of the pre-
vious year. This curtailment has
been a source of complaint on the part
of many parents.
Although it was expected that the
enrolment for the coming year
would exceed all previous records, it
was decided not to increase the
amount Of the levy asked for, as
District As should this year receive
some money from District No. 3.

WOLF POINT WINS
FROM GLASGOW 81
GAME-BUSBY HURT
IN SEVENTH

In their game with Glasgow Sun
day the Wolves as whole looked bet
ter than in any other game this sea-
son, the club as whole hitting and
getting in their blows when needed.
The score does not tell the true story
of the game With the exception of
two bad innings by Glasgow the
teams played good ball. The hitting
of Schenkenberger featured, the short
heavy set right garden pitcher"
getting hold of one for three base
hit.
King was never in danger at any
stage of the game, pitching inning
after inning with only three men
facing him, getting Is strike-outs.
"Tiney" Champlin played his first
game of the season with the Wolves
and looked good around the initial
sack. Another face in the lineup
for the first time this season was
Shamley in center field.
Next Sunday, June 10, the game
is with Opheim here. Turn out and
show the boys that you appreciate
the brand of ball they are playing.

HAROLD LLOYD And
PRISCILLA DEAN HERE
Dynamic Star at Her Best in Ouida's
Masterpiece-Thu riday

The dynamic personality of Pris-
ella Dean has never been given such
forceful expression on the screen as
! in "Under Two Flags" the Universal
Jewel production of Ouida's famous
novel, which comes to the Liberty
theatre here on Thursday-Friday.
The excitement with which the film
abounds was felt by every member
of the huge company at Universal
City participating in the production
of this classic of the screen. They
all live in the atmosphere of Algeria,
where the action of the story takes
place.
A portion of the town of Algiers,
with a faithful production of the
French barracks there, was built at
the big studio. Members of the cast
lived "in character" for several
months. Miss Dean herself became
so accustomed to the costumes of the
play that it was difficult for her to
readjust herself to habits of normal
life when not actually working before
the camera.
Several companies of French sol
diers, properly uniformed and armed,
were recruited by Todd Browning,
the director, for use in various scenes
The harem of the Arab chief was re-
produced in all the splendor that is
a savage potentate's. Every reel of
the film teens with color and dra-
matte action.
Some of the best players of the
screen were engaged to appear with
Miss Dean in "Under Two Flags"
James Kirkwood, John Davidson and
Stuart Holmes, all noted actors, were
for prominent parts.
If Louise de La Rance (Ouida)
could be alive today and see the glory
Of her creation as it is held in the
imelight by critics and public, she
might be recompensed for the CHASTITY
error which dragged her to an obscure
death in poverty Hers is a master
piece for the ages.

Elaborate Plans For Big
Stampede July 1914

bigger and better than either of the
previous affairs. They say that there
will be better bucking horses, bet
ter roping specialties and more
stunt features than previously. 1t
is even rumored that a bunch of
coyotes have been captured and are
being trained in some trick numbers
for the amusement of the crowd.
The stampede, coming as it does,
just after similar affairs at Shelby,
Sidney and Miles City, should at
tract large number of celebrated
riders from all over the northern
part of the state, and the fact that
it comes three weeks earlier than it
did last year, means that farmers
will not be so busy in the harvest
fields and will be able to get in and
see the fun.
The committee has been putting up
large attractive colored posters the
past week and big canvas sign
stretches across Main street from the
First National bank building to the
Valley Market so that all who pass
my read that Wolf Point is going to
have big stampede July 12-14.

sixth This don't happen to John
very often.

seventh. First time he got hurt since
he was married. Pretty good, huh?

dishing up deserves better support
than they are getting. Crowd Sun
day only fair.

like old timers at the business.
Champlin says that every time Flint
called one he would look around to
see if there was a pop bottle coming

him the first time up, but thought
better of it the next morning.
