DELMAR Lesson wins
SPEAKING CONTEST

Delmer Leeson, son of Commits
sioner and Mrs. George Lesson of
Bainville, was the winner of first
place in the county eXtemporan-
eous contest held in Bainville last
Saturday afternoon. Delmer's sub
ject was president Coolidge
Should Not be Renominated." His
talk was well given, full of force
and convincing.
Miss Behner of the Glasgow
high school won second place. Her
subject was tThe Nicaragua
Question" Her arguments were
convincing but her talk lacked
in power and delivery.
William Hide of Wolf Point
placed third. His subject was
I'VE Should Teach Citizenship in
Our Schools" His talk was pre-
scented in an able manner.
Delmer Will represent Roosevelt
county at the state meet in Boze-
man and will leave Sunday evening
with the Wolf Point basketball
team.

The score was I'll and Antelope's
clever passing had Poplar working
hard to keep the score down. In
the third quarter Poplar started
a desperate rally and at last went
into the lead. From then on, they
stalled as much as possible. Ante
lope started a rally with but a
few minutes to go but they were
checked by Poplar's strong de-
Tense.
PIentywood 81; BainviIle II
In the second game of Friday
afternoon Bainville was badly
beaten by Plentywood. The score
was 37-11. Plentywood played Balm
VILE right off their feet in the
first half, beating them 1928. Balm
vile seemed unable to get started
at all. The pace quickened a little
in the second half but Plentywood
was never in danger. The boys
from the branch made almost every
field basket that they attempted.
Scobey 27; Nashua II
Nashua, because of their 27-16
defeat at the hands of Scobey, was
the first team to be eliminated.
The game was slow and Nashua
was o%utclassed. Two Nashua men
and n Scobey man went out on
personal fouls. In the first half
Scobey had Nashua on the defen-
sive. Nashua was unable to go
through the Scobey defense and
got but one field basket. The half
ended 1874.
The third quarter was a little
faster but Scobey always had the
game we'll in hand. In the last quar-
ter Nashua hit it's stride and tried
to rally but was quickly checked
by the Scobey defense.
PIentywood 81; CuIbertson 16
After playing two games in n
day, winning one and losing one,
Pientywood defeated Culbertson in
its third game, 34-16. Anklam, Cul-
bertson guard, went out on per-
sonals. Culbertson put up a won
derful fight in the first half and
held Plentywood to a 1916 tie. In
the third quarter they weakened
and Plentywood rolled up a large
score. Plentywood's basket shoot
ing was excellent and its defense

= Wolf Point 27; PIentywood II

Friday morning the unbeaten
Wolf Point team d~ecisively de-
feated the fast Plentywood team
81 to IL. The game was excep-
tionally clean and fast. The first
half was the best yet played. Both
teams were evenly matched and
both made sensational stops of
high passes. The floor work was
almost perfect and both teams
showed excellent defense.
Towards the end of the second
quarter the Wolf Point forwards
got through Plentywood's guards
for three field baskets. The half
ended ~ to 6 in favor of Wolf
Point. In the second half Plenty
wood weakened a little and Wolf
Point held them to one field bas-
ket while they got Is points.
Kay Lang. Wolf Point guard was
the star of the game.
CuIbertson IS; Nashua ~
In the second game Friday morn
ing Culbertson defeated Nashua
Is to II. The first half ended 6 to
4 in favor of Culbertson. Nashua's
right guard went out on four per-
sonals, but the rest of the team
played very clean ball. In the sec
ond half Culbertson's superior
team work and basket shooting
netted them nine points while
Nashua could get but eight. This
half, featured by the cat-like jumps
of Anklam, Culbertson guard, and
by the basket shooting of Evans,
CuIbertson forward.
Poplar %; Antelope II
The game Friday afternoon was
between the two winners of Thurs
day nights contest, Antelope and
Poplar. The game was full of
fouling and two Antelope men, cen
ter and forward, went out on per-
sonals. Antelope was greatly handi-
capped without their center Mey-
ers but they fought gamely and had
Poplar worried all the time. The
first half was easily Antelope's.

verdict of death pronounced upon
the 1S-year-old farm boy.
Schalps was found guilty of
shooting to death Ludmilla Gels
Ter, the wife of his employer. The
husband, Tony Geisler, also was
killed, and County Attorney Hugh
N. Marion insisted in his argument
that evidence of the killing of Tony
Geisler vas necessary in order to
prove a definite plan on the part
of Schalps to kill the couple in
order to secure their money and

Howard VI. Lewis, Plentywood
attorney, appearing in behalf OF
Schlaps argued that no precedent
is available for such a contention
and urged upon the court his plea
that the boy was entitled to a new
trial with the district court under
definite instructions to confine the
evidence and testimony to the
shooting of Mrs. Geisler.
Mr.. Marion returned to his home
in this city Friday evening.

Many former students of the
local high school were present
during the tournament. Among
them were noted Valarah Jelley
and Dale Smith of Glasgow, War
rem Smith of Poplar, Audrey John
son Bradford of Bainville and Sera-
phin Lenz of Culbertson, the very
latest graduate of the Wolf Point
high school.

first attempt. However some pref
ty bad static was noticed right af-
ter Claude missed an excellent
shot. Seriously speaking the work
of announcing was very difficult
because of the roofing. The an

fans and many times his voice was
drowned out by the noise. How
ever during the last game every
radio in town that was able to
get the broadcasting had an au-
dience listening in.

Dave Laren, student of the Uni
versity of North Dakota at Grand
Forks was the referee. He was
the best ever seen at district
tournament and while many
thought he was unduly strict the
local coach feels that the Wolves
will be better equipped to enter
the Bozeman tournament because
of playing with such a careful re-
fierce. Laren found a number of
people in the audience with whom
he was personally acquainted,
among them Mr.. and Mrs. V. A.
Lowell of this city, he and the
Lovells' having lived in the same
town at one time.

Accommodations on the Great
Northern special which left Wolf
Point promptly at sever O'Clock
were declared to be of the very
best. Everyone had a good time
and there were many remarks by
the fans from other towns about
the excellent craftsmanship of the
Wolf Point fans and rooters. The
train crew did everything possible
to make it comfortable for the
passengers. From Wolf Point alone
there were 100 passengers and a
number from the other towns be-
tween Wolf Point and Bainville.
The special car placed on
a side track in a convenient loca-
tion and many went back to them
between sessions to rest. AS
many of our leading bridge players
made the trip some little side
tournaments were staged during
the afternoon. 1t has not yet been
disclosed who won the 'booby'
prize.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1927-03-04

When the special arrived at Cul-
bertson they found the odds there
were 3 to l for Antelope. When
they got to Bainville they found
the odds 5 to l for the Wolves.
One of the freak bets was that
Wolf Point would beat Plentywood
by ten points. Another was a bet
that Wolf Point would win the
tournament by twice as many
scores as their opponents.
The Bainville people wish to
thank all those in Wolf Point who
did so much to make the tourna-
ment a success. They are appre-
ciative of the help from this city.

local Commercial club is in another

House Judiciary Bunch
Puts LOngshoremen's
Bill In the Breakers

Recommendations of
the accident compensation bill for
longshoremen, harbor workers and
ship repaiiers to pass the house and
BECOME law at this session of con-
gress is indicated, due to a trick
which originated in the house iudici-
airy committee.
That committee, dominated by Gra-
ham Of Philadelphia, has amended the
bill, in spite of strong objections by
organized labor, so that it will in
clude sailors. The Seamen's union
is opposed to inclusion of its men,
bers, since they are now protected by
the law of employees liability, which
for seamen includes care and cure
while they remain aboard the ship on
which the injury takes place. The
other labor organizations-the long
shoremen especially-want the orig
inal bill restored so that the seamen
will have no reason to oppose its pas
sage. A motion will be made on the
house floor to substitute the bill as
passed last June by the senate.
Shipowners' associations have lob
bied against the measure for years
past, while the labor unions of harbor
workers and the American association
for labor legislation have fought for
its enactment. At present neither
federal nor state compensation laws
cover this class of workers.

There are 1877 locals in the Aissis-

development of the gulf coast of Mis-

pected to bring a growth Of building
trades unionism similar to the Flor
ida boom. 1t appears that the recent
cooling of U. s. Senator Pat Harri-

able by the sudden boost in value Of

what About Reparation?
Small of Illinois
Insists Frank Smith
Is Still In Senate

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Jan. 3i.-"No
vacancy occurs in the senate insofar
as Illinois is concerned until Col.
Frank l.. Smith resigns or until the
committee now considering his ere
dentials refuses them,' Gov. Len
Small declared when queried concern
ing rumor that Ed. Wright Of Chi
cago, negro member of the Com
MERGE commission would be named as
Smiths successor.
mo recommendation that Wright
be appointed has reached me as yet
though it may be in the mail" the
Governor said.
Status OF the Smith situation has
been the basis for much speculation
since the senate refused to permit
him to take the oath OF office. The
Governors office has not changed its
position, that the appointment Of
Smith filled the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator William Il.
Mckinley and that unless Smiths
credentials are rejected finally by the
senate there is nothing for the Gov
ernor's office to do
The Governor gave no intimation
as to a possible successor for Smith
Il his credentials are finally discarded
by the senate.
