MAY HAVE GOT WORST OF HORNSBY DEAL.
BUT WAIT AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Hornsby trade are the genera
public and the sports writer's.
Many have been ad
vanced for the sending of Horns
by down the river for two yer,
unimportant athletes, but none
has been issued from Owner
Stoneham or Manager McGraw
other than that Hornsby was
traded for "the best interests OF
the club"
But why was Hornsby traded?
Was it because he tried to out.
McGraw McGraw? Was it because
of the mero fist fights with
other Giants he had last season?
Was it because of the disrupted
harmony on the club? Was it be-
cause Owner Stoneham wished to
show he was boss?
Take your choice. Those are the
best reasons advanced by the
sports writer's to date, but none OF
them have drawn any chirp out Of
Stoneham other than that Horns
by was traded for the best inter-
ests of the club.
THE Hornsby trade is the most
sensational made in the
majors in years, perhaps since
Babe Ruth was sold to the
Yankees, and it even looks more
sensational than the Ruth sale in
many lights.
When the Yankees bought
Ruth, they paid a sum for him
that staggered ones Imagination
in those days. The Red Sox got
something for the Babe.
The Giants let go the best sec
ond baseman in the major leagues,
a player who would have COM
manded the sum Of at least $780,
600 in the player market. and al.
they got for him was Catcher Ho-
gan, with one years experience in
the majors, and Outtielder WEIGH,
who is LOT a great outfielder any
way you look at it. In all, the
two would do well to draw $780,
coo, or even half that sum, On the
market.

Manager MCGraw knew what
hey. were doing. re, haps the

From the Files of The Herald of
Feb. 8, 1916

Feb. 8, 1916
Moving into Wolf Points new
brick building was the occasion
of a four column story giving the
history of the growth and devel-
opment of the local school. The
first teacher was Miss Mary Nc
Leod and she taught in a tiny
log building at Oldtown, having
only Z pupils. Then some of the
pupils moved away and for two
years there was no school. In
1910 the old log building was
again called into service with
Miss Bacon as teacher. She was
followed by Mrs. Tanner and
then ALT o. Vaala. This was part
of the Glasgow district then.
There were too many pupils for
the log building. and Glasgow
couldn't see the way to provide
any more money for a new build
ing. So John Listerud, w. B.
Everett and w. B. Smith took
matters in their own hands and
built at their own expense what
for many years was known as
1.-THE Little Old Log Building"
There we're II pupils. In 1913 the
two-story building was built and
one room finished. 1t is now the
Masonic temple. Mr.. Vaala re-
signed and Frank Kenny was
principal. Mrs. Kenny taught the
four lower grades. At the time
the new building was completed,
the corps of teachers included Mr.
Kenny, Mrs. John Mckay, Miss
Edith Worthy and Miss Elsie
Hagen. Pictures of the three
buildings were shown.
Clyde Patton, president of the
club, had received
word that No. / and No. 2 would
stop on being tagged.
The Wolf Point hotel was the
scene of the wedding of Miss
Blossom E. Hundley and Harvey
Charles Gordon performed
the ceremony.
"wednesday was ground hog
day, and a bright clear one at
