The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1926-07-08

prizes awarded accordingly. Much
amusement and interest was created
during the day and excitement was al
high pitch during some of the races
by car and horses. The bucking con
test was good and a number of real
bad horses and good riders gave the
crowd some excitement and thrills
Taking tn program as a whole for
both days, it was good, and proved to
the public that it is possible to have
right here at home as good time as
any place if all will only do their part
and assist when called upon.
The dancing, music and fireworks
added greatly to the interest of the
program and all were enjoyed to the
limit by a large gathering of young
folks and others from both at home
and neighboring towns The movie
show especially presented two nights
of excellent pictures and standing
room was almost at premium. A
variation was on the program when
the Lisl1um Sisters were featured for
the evening" as singing and dancing
artists, all of which was seemingly en-
joyed by everyone.
| No accidents or serious misfortunes
loccarred during the days to mar the
program or interfer with the enjoy
ment of everyone There was only
one incident occurred that had ten
dency to dampen the prevailing high
spirits of the jolly bunch while cele-
brating, and that was the rank and
rotton class of baseball exhibited by
the Havre team under the manage
ment of their captin, Herb Hester,
while playing the Electrics of Great
Falls. A most liberal sum of money
had been allotted to this team for
their services during the fourth and
many had come for miles with the ex-
pectations of witnessing an exhibition
of good clean, sportsman-ship in the
national game scheduled on the pro-
gram of the fourth. In this they were
sadly disappointed, and in lieu of
live game as was anticipated, an ex-
hibition of rank odor was the result.
The Electricts played good clean ball
all the way thru but the exhibition
staged by the Havre team was sick
ening and disgusting from the start,
and may we'll be classed among games
that should be regulated to the rear
lots of "hoodloomville" and barred
from any diamond, much less for an
admission price in the bargain Amy
manager who has the gall to collect
a bunch of men and attempt to put
up such an exhibition as was staged
by the Havre aggregation for a gen.
erous purse is minus the manhood Of
a good American sport, and a sorry
spectacle both as pitcher and man
ager of any team.
How, why or where, manager Hes
ter got the idea that he could pull
stunt like he did on the diamond on
the 4th, and get away with it, is be-
yond the comprehension of everyone.
There seems to be no avenue of ex-
cuse for the performance of the Havre
team on this occasion and if they had
Instructions from their manager TO
pull as rotten game as they did,
and they seemed to do their part,
willingly or otherwise, they deserve
to be eliminated from the field of
sport where a good price is paid for
the best performance and not one of
a rank nature that reeks with rot
teness beyond description and stands
without a parallel in the history OF
baseball in this section of Montana,
or perhaps the state or nation. Can
anyone imagine anything anymore
disgusting than a score of 22 to in
seven innings The tally tells the
tale. Isn't it dandy? 'Nuf Sed."
