Sundays ball game was defeat OF
the Belt team by the w. o. W.'s by .
score of IL to 2 and was 80 one-sidsd
as to be void Of interest to the crowd
who began to drift toward home after
they had witnessed seven innings.
Britten for the Vows yielded II
hits but they were so well scattered
as not to be dangerous, while Rust
was hit hard in the pinches for clouts
that netted extra bases. Added to
this were six errors made by members
Of the local team, several Of which
resulted from taking a wild chance to
catch fly after hard run.
Rust appeared to have good control,
a nice curve and not quite enough
speed.
Fish made a phenomenal catch OF
what would have been a home run in
the ninth inning which brought forth
burst Of applause. Outside of this,
from a Belt standpoint, the game was
featureless unless we mention that
Umpire Stuffel chased Moe in the
eighth inning for continually kicking
on balls and strikes and calling the
umpire names. For this the umpire
got round of applause.
The game was well umpired and the
firmness shown met the approval OF
the fans who do not care for rowdy
tactics. Whether this action Of Noes
was intentional to have sport with the
umpire is not known, but it is odd that
a team who will play game through
on a Great Falls diamond will begin
kicking before the game starts in the
outside towns of the league.
We believe that the umpiring in
Belt has been Of high quality and
would suggest that the city marshal
or deputy sheriff escort all loud
mouthed kickers off the field at the
first offense.

Bill Fluhr finally took on the grief
West Side bats greeted Bill joyfully

After that fatal first frame, Fluhr
settled nicely and the West Side got
but single tally across. A queer turn
Of the game was every man on the
West Side lineup scoring single run
There were also just nine West Side
hits. but these were not distributed so
equally.
Two home runs, one by Culver and
the other off Rutherford's bat, were
added to the astonishing total Of balls
which have gone over the walls thus
far.
Jardine and Baxter, the first two
men up for the West Side in the first
inning, both got hits and Brix drew
a pass to crowd the sacks. Ruther-
ford whitfield, and then Culver dropped
Corwin's grounder to score Jardine.
Striizch cracked one at Donovan at
short which the latter juggled, letting
Baxter across. Resteli then clouted
a clean single over short and Brix
streaked over the pan. Pogreba broke
the single scoring monotony by fat
two ply sock into the left field

ahead of him over the plate. Here
Fluhr took the reins, but Phelan's fly
into deep left was dropped by Proper,
to let Pogreba score. After Jardine
had flown out to center. Baxter
cracked a grounder to Donovan which
was too much for the Valley shortstop
and Phelan brought IN the eighth run.
Baxter was caught in a hot box be-
tween first and second to retire the
side. Rutherford's homer in the
fourth was the only other West Side
ron of the game. v
The first Belt runs came in the
second session. Weir, first man up,

Giant White Wolf
Is Finally Killed

Snowdrift, giant white wolf of tbs
Highwoods, was killed Monday after
having been caught four days before
in a trap set by d. Stevens, biological
survey trapper and hunter. The trap
and the hunters gun ended the career
of an animal that has been known and
hunted for years. During the last
spring, the wolf is alone credited with
killing more than 100 head of cattle
of value in excess Of 100000.
The wolf was caught in the trap and
his struggles broke it from anchor.
For four days. tracked by the trapper,
the wolf dragged the heavy trap with
him and successfully eluded his pur-
suer, following doggedly on his trail.
The wolf kept to its flight despite
the fact that it could not stop to eat
and the heavy trap would have pre-
vented successfully hunting any small
game
When the trapper tracked down the
wolf, he was able to get within good
shooting distance of it due to its
starved condition and the fact that it
was dragging the heavy trap.
Several years ago, the ranchers in
the north Highwood district began to
notice the great white wolf and to see
its depredations among the cattle on
the range. The name \of Snowdrift
came to attach itself to the animal.
From one of the litters of which Snow
drift was the father came Trixie, a
she-wolf that has made a name in
moving pictures. Many other wolf
pups have been sold for moving pic
ture work and breeding purposes.
This spring ranchers tracked Lady
Snowdrift, the big VOLTS mate, to
their den and obtained their litter of
pups. A few days later, Don Stevens
arrived and in a short time accounted
for Lady Snowdrift- Snowdrift may
have seen the end and perhaps his age
was counting against him, for he him
self blundered into one of the traps
such as he had for years successfully
avoided.
The wolf was the most famous ami
NAL IN his depredations of any in nor
thern Montana and ranchers had en-
dowed him with an almost supernat-
ural power since he was often seen
and shot at but never. seemingly, hit.
Don Steven, on his arrival in the
Highwoods, quickly learned the tracks
of the two animals. Both had toes
from their feet missing, showing that
their experience with traps was
gained at some personal cost.
Snowdrift, when killed showed a
coat Of white that justified his name
He was weighed by the ranchers and
despite the fact that he was starving
and had been travelling over the hills
under conditions that seemed almost
impossible. tipped the scales at more

two were retired, Rust lined one to-
ward first base which hit the sack
and took an exasperating bound into
the field, scoring both the runners. 1t
looked bright for Belt when Donovan
followed with hit, but he got opto-
mistic after stealing second, tried an
other steal and came to grief.
Culver's homer in the fourth with
Donovan on brought in the other two
Belt runs.

ASTONISHING AGE FOR HORSE
Animal Owned In the United States
Declared to Have Lived for
Flfty-one Years.

A horse owned by a United States
clergyman named Meyers is probably
the oldest Of its kind, having reached
the astonishing age Of fifty-one years.
Clover, as this remarkable beast Is
called, has astonished the experts by
his feat In living for more than half
a century. 1t is undoubtedly worlds
record. The house surgeon at the
Royal Veterinary college in London
admitted that he had never heard OF
a case to equal 1t. "The Oldest horse
I ever knew" he said, "was a pony In
the Midlands which lived to be thirty
nine and which was at work until II
months before it's death. Race horses
are usually past their prime after SIX
years, and hunters and working horses
after twelve years of useful life." A
surprising sight was black western
pony, over thirty years Of age, which,
though still hale and hearty, had be-
gun to turn gray, and presented the
appearance Of having passed through
snow storm. Another expert said
that he believed it was quite possible
for horses to live for half century
or more, but added that In his expert
ence the oldest creature was thirty
eight years Of age. How long It lived
after that he was unable to say.

BASED ON FALSE IMPRESSIvN
Singular Misunderstanding Said 10
Have Led to the invention OF
the Telephone.

A false impression, due to lack OF
knowledge of the German language.
led DIR. Graham Bell to attempt his
successful invention of the telephone
Bells father had been a professor OF
elocution, and his grandfather, too. SO
an interest in the mechanism Of speech
was. u sort Of family affair, and as
boy he tried to learn everything
whiyh bore upon what he thought
would be his professional work
through life-the correction Of errors
of speech. When he was seventeen he
made the discovery, which he thought
was original, that the resonance of
the mouth cavity varied In making
different vowel sounds. He afterward
discovered that this had been discov-
cred long before by Helmholtz, who
had obtained vowel sounds by tuning
forks to different pitches. Bell could
not read German, and knew nothing
about electricity, SO got the false idea
that HelmshOitz had been able to
transmit vowel sounds by electricity.
Believing that, he saw no reason why
speech should not also be transmitted,
and having that false idea, he set to
work to see whether he could not do
so. "In considering an invention"
says Doctor Bell, "the attitude of
man toward his subject is important.
That false idea undoubtedly helped me
to produce the result at which
aimed"

ISLAND MADE PLEASURE SPOT
Juan Fernandez, Made Celebrated by
Daniel Defoe, Turned Into Attrac-
tion for Tourists.


A holiday on Robinson Crusoe's Is
land will be possible in the near fu-
ture.
The charming little island of Juan
Fernandez, where Alexander Selkirk
spent four years of his, life, and whose
story led Defoe to write his famous
masterpiece, is to be transformed into
holiday resort.
II belongs to the Chilian government
and can be reached by steamer from
Valparaiso. The island is thirty-six
square miles in extent, and Is heavily
wooded with splendid tree ferns,
orange trees, myrtles, and sandal wood.
II is mountainous, and full Of ravines
and torrents. Crowds Of wild goats
roam through the underwood. and
myriads Of humming birds chat among
the ferns. The climate is said to be-
ideal. -. '-...-.
At Cumberland bay. where Selkirk
landed, is the islands only hamlet,
San Juan Baptista. A modern hotel
Is to be erected here, and q bi-weekly
steamboat service Is to be run.
Naturally, the great curiosities Of
the island are the places where Robin
son Crusoe, according to the story,
passed the best part Of his life. First,
there Is the grotto' where he made his
dwelling; 1t is carpeted with ferns and
climbing plants. All around it grows
the pologony, a curious plant, from
whose gigantic leaves he made his
crockery-plates, dishes, soup tureens,
and even washing basins and tanks.
There is the little bay in which he
used to moor his boat, and the plateau
on which he built his cabin.
