CODY PLAYS BALL WITT
RED LODGE AND BILLINGS

in Cody during the celebration and
on Sunday which furnished some
additional amusement for the STAN
peders. The first two games were
played with Red Lodge on Thursday
and Friday mornings and resulted
in Cody's winning. both games from
the miners. The games played with
Billings on Saturday and Sunday
were not so good" for the local
boys, and they accepted two success
sive trimmings from the Montana
players.
Thursday-Red Lodge VS.. Cody
In the first engagement with the
boys from Red Lodge the Cody team
took their measure to the tune of
IA to l. The game was an uneven
one from the start, Cody leading
off with a lead of six scores in the
first inning, and Blue Jacket, the
crack pitcher holding them entirely
at his mercy during the remaining
eight innings. Cody continued to
hit the Red Lodge twirler at their
will. and in the ninth inning. with

center field; Glen Trueblood at sec
ond; Miller behind the bat; Ed
Swan at third; Good at short; C. A.
Evans at first; Bob McGinnis in
left field; Dodge in right field; and
Blue Jacket, pitcher. Smuller went

Morris relieved Dodge in the out
field during the latter part of the
game. Howard Starr and H. f. Bell
umpired the game.
Friday-Red Lodge VS.. Cody
The second game played with
Red Lodge on Friday, was an al
together different affair than the
Thursday game, and the home team
had to extend themselves to their
best to win. The score stood 6 to 5
in the ninth in favor of Cody. The
game was a fast one from start to
finish, with Red Lodge making a
run in the first inning, and remain
ing in the lead all through the game
until the eigth inning when Cody
balanced the score with n to spare
Leonard Morris twirled for the To-
cal team, and demonstrated his right
to the pitchers position. He pitched
a stellar game throughout. He had
a fast one which made the coal
miners swing idly at the air. He
was credited with Is ~strikeouts, and
only walked one man.

with 233 cars, carrying 755 people.
These were all private cars and did
not include yellow bus travel. The
east entrance also broke the record
on July 5th last year, with 222 cars,
Carrying 500 people, the greatest
number at any entrance. at any time
in n one day. This was the day
following the Stampede and the
monument unwilling, but the cur
rent record was made on regular
travel.
A. Cotsworth, Jr. the B~urlington's
General passenger Agent, who smiles
the summer thousands over the
Scenic seventy miles to the East
entrance, was a caller at forest and
Cody headquarters yesterday. Mr..
Cotsworth avs that eastern entrance
travel by rail and yellow busses
has increased in greater ratio than
any of the other entrances, accord
ing to the record from the opening
date until the first of July. Mr..
Cotsworth says hat the Cody Way

outstanding colorful classics of Bur-

many of the thousands who are now

RAZEE- DEMONSTRATES
MARVELLOUS SHOOTING

One of the outstanding feature
events of the Stampede just closed
-was the exhibition of fancy shoot
ing by Rush Race of Denver.
Mr.. Race came to the Cody
Stampede through the courteousy
of the Remington Arms Co. of New
York, his entertainment being given
free of charge.
All the known difficult stunts,
with any kind of guns. were per-
formed by Mr.. Race, from the hit
ting of the smallest sized marble
not more thar a third as large as
the bullet from the Remington
high power Autoloading rifle he
used, to the Busting of five blue
rock targets, thrown into the air
by himself, with a Remington pump
gun.
His limitation of shooting a
Missouri rabbit brought forth a sigh
of homesickness from many a form
err resident of "Old Missouri" and
the opening of a can of tomatoes
with a high power rifle and serv-
ing them a la cowboy style brot
--1ut one of the many rounds OF
applause that greeted him.
Mr. Race has shot in every state
in the union and at many of the
larger Rodeos, Frontier Days and
Stampede events. He pronounced
the Cody Show N of the best he
has ever attended and no doubt
his shooting exhibition will be one
sof the 1926 features.

and got away with the major portion of the prizes offered for

High Agent

Super.power has been eliminated
as an important factor in the cause
for the queer phenomen Of fading
of radio waves, the United States
Bureau of Standards announced to-
day.
An exhaustive investigation by
the government, cooperating with
Station WGY of schenectady and
scientists and amateurs throughout
the country, disclosed that high
power broadcasting does not ma
terially increase the interference be.
tween stations, nor does 1t entirely
eliminate static at points distant
from the broadcaster.
Radio supervisors have been
equipped with portable apparatus
to measure the field intensity of
stations and thus regulate their
power so that excessive interference
will not be produced.
Tests disclosed that employment
of higher power produce louder sig.
nails and increase the radius of the
small zone around the transmitting
station in which there is freedom
from static.
