Escape for
Two Local Men

Sunday evening about 10:30 Will
liam O'NeiIl and Andrew Sabo were
returning to Belt in Ford when they
met Buick head on about five miles
from town. No one was killed. O'Neill
was badly cut about the head and con-
siderably bruised, while Heavy" has
few scalp wounds and badly
wrenched leg.
The other cars occupants, two men
from one Of our neighbor coal towns,
were not thrown out and received only
small injuries.
Their Buick was in such shape that
it could not be driven or towed and
required wrecker to take it to Great
Falls. The lights were broken, the
radiator punctured and one spring
and wheel was bent back under the
car. On the whole it was a very sue

point.
The Belt men were driving car
newly overhauled by and belonging
to Johnny Marquardt of the Pioneer
garage This car viii not be used for
some time. The radiator is a wreck,
the engine block is smashed, the wind
shield frame contains no glass, the
lights are demolished, the top is a
casualty, the frame looks as If it had
been operated on for appendicitis,
outside of this and few other minor
injuries the Ford Is all right
How the accident occurred no one
seems to know Probably there was
a little too much speed and the giar-
ing lights did the rest AL were for
tunatc that their injuries were no
greater.

The Guild of st. Luke's Episcopal
church gave a very successful card
party in X. p. hall on Friday night.
A nice crowd was in attendance and
heartily enjoyed the play as well as
the Angel Food and ice cream which,
together with sandwiches and coffee,
were served late in the evening. Mrs.
Nj. T. Messelt cut for the ladies' head
prize with Mrs. Oscar Junkermeier
and won a table scarf. Mrs. j. w.
Graybeal was equally successful in
winning the consolation, an apron,
while Mrs. J. E. Healey secured the
BOBBY without serious competition.
For the men Burney Kjose won high
honors, J. p. Healey second honors,
with George w. Stuffel the undis-
puted cellar champion.

Wednesdays game between the A.
C. M. and Belt teams resulted in a
victory for the home team by score
of 3 to 0.
Shortly after noon it began to rain
and heavy shower fed for more than
an hour when the clouds broke and
the sun came out. The diamond had
pools of water near the bags but Geo.
Merkle and Harry Hamment, aided
by small number of fans and small
boys mopped up the water and sprin-
killed. the wet places with dry sand.
The game was played on reason
ably dry field and was as good game
as will be seen this season.
The visitors played an errorless
game but were unable to hit Morrow,
only two hits being made against his
delivery. For Belt Morrow was in
vincible because of air tight support.
Donovan in right field took care of
two nice ones while Vaskey made a
spectacular catch of what appeared 10
be a homer, besides making such a
swift return of Grady's long hit TO
center as to hold him on first base
The team appears to be strong IL the
line up used yesterday can be retained.
Iddings played classy game at third
base, Anderson handled himself well
at short and Zimmer is some catcher.
This weeks editorial will have to
be revised to take in more territory.

Morrow, Belt Hurler, was the sem
sation of the second game, tanning
out the first six Courters who cams
up. Morrow has just returned from
the Kansas City club Of the American
association, where a plethora Of stsr-
ling box material gave him the option
of playing with a feeder club or get
ting his release. Morrow was previ-
ously star boxman for the University
of California and famed flocks OF
Japs when the Bears transformed the
orient. He hales from Fort Benton.
He had all the smoke in the world

slants up so fast that ii Court OF

The remaining Court Of Honor

MERKLE BRINGS IN REAL OIL WELL
BEST YET IN NORTHERN FIELD

casing was found caked with parafin
and the hole was cleaned out and
drilled eight feet further in the sand.
The result was flow of oil that even
the swab could not reduce to any ex-
tent in the hole.
The well is apparently good for at
least it's initial production when
brought in last October, and the oper-
ators decided not to shoot it. On the
other hand, the Howling No. has
slumped somewhat from its initial
production. The Baker No. has
showed smaller production at the time
it was closed down through the fail
ure of market for oil.
While the Howling No. 3 adds little
new area to the proven field, it's in
fluence extends over the entire field
since it opens the possibilities of large
production in any unprospected dis
tricts.
The market situation is expected TO
improve within the next few days and
an extended test of the new well will
then be possible.
The Mid-Northern Oil company has
had a remarkable record in the Kevin-
Sunburst field. The company has not
yet drilled a dry hole in the field. En-
tering the field last fall after virtu-
ally all of the other larger companies
had obtained a foothold, the Mid
Northern with more limited territory
now has probably better than 10 per
cent of the production of the field
from its six wells, if the last well
holds up in production as it might be
expected.

The moment Ski defeated Car
pentier, a hero of the boulevard
iers, it was charged that he had
double-crossed Georges. It was
said that he had agreed before
hand to be knocked out himself
and broke the agreement.
Then followed wild days, one
arrest following another in rapid
fashion. He was chased all over
Paris and finally up into Holland.
At last he was matched with Mike
McTigue for bout in Dublin on
March II. Now comes the tough
situation.
Can you imagine this French
speaking black man winning from
Mike McTigue in the capital of
the newly-organized Irish Free
State on st. Patrick's Day.
McTigue was given the decision
on points after twenty rounds
and fastened right back to the
United States, where he knew he
could face the soft ones In no.
decision contests for good-sized
guarantees in real American
money.
It's a safe bet that Battling
Sikh will never get another crack
at Mike McTigue, at least in
France or the United States.

With Reb Russell falling down
this year, Pittsburgh has played
the transplanted infielder Clyde
Barnhart, and Walter Mueller, an.
other youngster, in. right field. Both
these youngsters hit strongly, and
Barnhart has fieIded well, but for
world series purposes these play
ers would be novices, and right

PRAISES
PANT0N|N|E
GAMES
World Series Feature Of The
Times to Be Widely
Duplicated.
By 4. D. THOMAS.

Edwin s. DENLY. Secretary Of tho
Navy, took time out today to recon-.
mend to Washington baseball bugs
the pantomime Of the world series
to be given BY The Washington
Times and The washington Herald
with the aid Of two United States
marine teams.
simultaneously with the plays OF
the pennant winning teams Of the
American and National Leagues, the
marine baseball actors will re-enact
them at American League Park.
ut IL the nearest possible thing to
the world series ITSELF" declared
Secretary DENLY, who was a keenIy
interested spectator at the first
pantomime ball games ever staged,
by The Washington Times g year
ago.
Others To Follow Plan
It was a brand new novelty then,
but at this time leading newspapers
throughout the country are prepar.
ing to duplicate the trick, q compli.
ment. indeed, to It's success.
The Marines teams of the Wash.
tngton navy yard and the Marine
Barracks will be the performers
here. They are eager to get in
action. Shortly they may be seen
at the ball park rehearsing. It is
not an easy performance to give.
The native intelligence of Devil
Dogs, for which they are noted as
an organization, was largely re.
sponstble for the remarkable success
OF the first experiment in pantonnin-
ing ball games.
Charles Benter's sixty-piece Navy
band, which accompanied the late
President Harding on his Alaska
trip will play at the games.
There will be no admission charge.
All the baseball fans Of Washington
are invited to be the guests of The
washington Times and The Wash.
ington Herald.
Thousands attended the panto-
mime games Of 1922. They were
unanimous In declaring them q. vast
Improvement over the method Of de-
scrtbtng the world series with the
use Of electrical boards.
Every play, every ball, strike and
foul, all the minute details Of a ball
game, in fact, are performed by the
pantomimers just as they occur in
the actual game.
All the thrills are enjoyed, The
fans at the first pantomirne series
cheered. derided. groaned, razzed the
pantomime players. One could al.
most believe the hard working
leathernecks were the real article.
Secretary DENLY detailed the
Marine ball players to be actors.
It IL one OF the oldest assign.
ments ever received by the versa
tile service men. Some of those
who took part In the first series
again are available and with these
experienced men in the phantom
lineup the approaching attraction
should be improved over the first.
although many pantomime fans
say the 1922 performance could
hardly be bettered.
Clark Griffith is giving the use
Of his park. The Old Fox believes
the pantomiIne series has come to
stay as the greatest Of baseball
novelties.

Maryland Ii well prepared for the

THOMPSON WILL START
IN LINE FOR VARSITY

Tommy Thompson, GeorgetowA's
big varsity tackle, has recovered
sufficiently from the injury to his
knee to guarantee his appearance
in the Hilltoppers' line Saturday in
the opening game Of the season
against George Washington. How
ever, he will hardly play through
the contest, Coach Maloney wishing
to give his leading candidates a
workout against real opposition.
Georgetown's first string forwards
for Saturdays game are expected to
be Captain Florence and Smell, ends;
Butler and Thompson, tackles; Jaw.
ish and Sheehan, guards, and Gene
Golsen, center.
There Is some doubt as to what
quartet Of backs will start. Coach
Maloney is not satisfied with any
particular lineup so far and may not
come to a decision until the last
minute.

"Siki blames most Of his
troubles on Descamps, the man
ager Of Carpenter, and others
of Carpenters friends, who, he
says, began a systematic CAM
paign to discredit him as soon as
he won from Georges. The Bat
tier says that he has been more
or less bounded in Europe and
that several times the persecu-

tempted to chuck the fight game
