AS sample OF the bad breaks
Wednesday, in the ninth inning the
Indians loaded the bases with one
out, only to be knocked out of a
chance to tie or win when Fred
Honey lined into double play. He
caught the sphere right on the
nose, but it stayed low enough for
Shortstop Taylor to snare it and the
fire was out Taylor made leapirG
catch and quickly threw to Thomas
at second for double play on Yde,
who felt so sure the drive was going
safe he left the base.
The Wildness Of Emil Yde, who re-
lieved Byron Specie on ale mound
in the sixth, helped the Bisons put
across the winning tallies. Yde'S bad
inning was the seventh when he al
lowed two hits. walked two men and
had two wild pitches.
1t was in that inning the Indians
lost the ball game despite the fact
the Bisons got one more run in the
eighth stanza when two scratch
doubles resulted in a marker.
From an Indianapolis standpoint
the most encouraging part of the
pastiming was supplied by Short
stop Warstler and Catcher Spencer
Each got one hit in two official times
at bat and they handled their posi-
tons in splendid style. For instance.
in the fourth inning. Spencer
throwing caught one runner mapping
off second and he also threw out d
man stealing.
Specie and Yde hurled for the
Hoosiers. the former permitting six
hits in five innings and the latter
five bingles in four rounds. Lever
enz. a southpaW and J. Stryker and
S. Stryker pitched for Buffalo, each
operating three inning. The work
of Specie and Yde could not be
judged better than fair. More pitch
ing may bring Yde around. for lack
of control was his weakness WedneS-
day.
Since real action started in their
training camp the Indians have
played five practice games and five
exhibition contests. OF the OK
hibitiOnS, they have won only one,
| three being defeats and one a tie.
n Il
| This Yde person can do more than
| pitch. He SlaShed out a double and
single in two tries Wednesday.
II
Walter Holke not only is in a
training batting slump, but also on
the short end OF baseball fortune.
He went hitleSs again Wednesday,
but had one drive knocked down on
him and on another occasion he
was called out" when he appeared
entitled to an lnfield hit.
Women and children we're adj
mitted free Wednesday and as a
result crowd Of about 500 viewed
the action,
rabbit" WarstIer cot one hit,
two walks, stole one base and
handled five chances in the field
without bObbling. He also shared
a wild throw by beautiful catch
that prevented another Buffalo
run.
A spectacular stop and throw by
Manager Bethel back of first base
was the fielding feature. 1t cut off
a. hit.
n ~
The fact the Bisons executed three
double plays had large part In
Gripping the Tribe attack.
=
Doubles by Specie and Yde were
the only extra-base blows to the
Indians credit. Buffalo poled four
doubles.

you never can tell when some
younger fellow is going to cone along
to batter you down. 1t has hap
pened to all the champions, and it
will happen to me. 1 don't think it
will be this year though or next or
maybe not for several years"
MIR. CORNELIUS MGILLI-
1YA CUDDY. talking 81 have a
feeling the Yankees won't WIN this
year in spite of the fact that on
paper and past performances they
unquestion2bly are the class Of the
league. If we don't beat them
either Washington or Detroit viii.
Somehow it's dangerous to make
any team a stand-out favorite to
win. Usually something happens
between April and October to upset
the dope
MER. ALVA BRADLEY talking:
I'VE This is my first year in base
ball. When we took over the Cleve-
land club we raised tile salary OF
every player we decided to keep,
notwithstanding that the club had
finished sixth the year before and
had shown a loss of $4,000.
Gwen with the raises, three of our
players held out for money. After
q talk with them We agreed they
were right and deserved more
money.
Il don't blame a bail player for
holding out if he thinks he is
justified. I'm learning every day
that baseball is the most peculiarly
operated business there is.
One of its chief peculiarities is
that a ball players value depends
largely on his own Salesmanship,
granting in the beginning that he
has anything to sell. If he doesn't
try to sell it who is going to do it
for him?"
EER. BILLY WALLACE, the
1Y1 lightweight, talking: ct will
be no surprise to me if Sammy
Mandell beats Jimmy McLarnin
with plenty to spare. Mandell may
not be the greatest fighter that
ever held the championship, but he
has one thing that can beat Nc
Larnin, and that is a straight left.
I'm not trying to take anything
away from McLarnin, but l don't
rate hi mas highly as you fellows.
He got into the fancy pictures by
knocking out Kid Kaplan and Sid
ferris with right-hand punches.
Kaplan and ferris happened to be
easy targets for right hands. Ey-
erybody hits EN- with right handsl
INCIDENTALLY, Wallace is soon
l. to leave his own manager,
Scotty De Lauer, the Frisco news
boy who picked him off a street
corner and brought him along to
a point where he is considered one
of the four best lightWeightS in the
game. 1t seems De Lauer is la
mentally lacking in business acu-
men.
An illustration: When Wallace
was offered a match last winter
with ferris in the Garden the
fighter and his manager talked over
the financial possibilities of the
proposition.
The result was De Lauer came
East with these instructions: ASK
for $12500 but don't take less than
$4,000" The story is told that
when De Lauer called on Tex Rick
ard the conversation in relation to
dough took this form:
Rickard (eyeing the ceiling
thoughtfully) We'll, what do you
want for the natch?"
De Lauer remembering every line
of his cue): Il want $12,50O and
won't take a cent less than $4,000.
This was a new kind of business
man and Mr.. Rickard, in his usual
altruistic way, promptly obliged
him. He gave De Lauer $4,000.

Here Is the Best
Toad Story Told

Efforts of Texas and Sheridan, Wyo.,
naturaliSts to enliven the news col
umns with accounts OF lively toads
found imbedded in rocks and chunks
of coal recalled TO August Z. Anderson,
veteran conductor recently elected
president of the Pioneers of Eastern
Montana, a story told around railroad
camps I'm eastern Montana I'm the early
eighties which make those yarns seem
tame.
Mr.. Anderson calls the yarn a legend
and says he will not vouch for its truth
fulness but merely gives 1t as 1T was told
to him. Engineer w. L.. Dorling had o
camp on Iron Bluffs about ten miles
west of Glendive where they were reduc-
ing the grade over the hill. The locality
was named after the peculiar formation
of the soil and there were the numerous
round boulders found in the ~iron-colored
soil.
Some of these boulders when opened
contained petrihed fish and snails in
large numbers. One day an unusually
large boulder was dug up and broken
open with q sledge hammer as it was
thought that such q huge rock was likely
to contain some unusual phenomena. AS
the boulder fell apart. the perfect form
of a petrihed coiled snake holding a frog
in its mouth was revealed. The frog was
alive and Justify blinked its eyes at the
light and the intruders. 1t was neces-
sary, however. to amputate its foot to
release it from the iron grip of the
snake.

By MRS. VI. E. PLAssMANN)

TIME northern limit of Montana is de-
fined BY the boundary line that di-
IL vides the United States from Canada.
II extends from the Atlantic TO the Pa
cihc. and carries with 1t a bit OF history
that is well worth the telling. The nrst
lap of its Journey was taken under the
treaty of 1888, and its limit set at the
east bank Of the Mississippi.
This recorded a triumph in diplomacy
for three of our statesmen, Benjamin
franklin. John Adams and 0 jay.
Vergennes. the French representative,
wished to confne it to the narrow space
between the Atlantic n Appalachian
mountains. None of the parties TO the
treaty were we'll informed regarding the
geography of the far west, which the
eastern bank of the Mississippi then rep
resented.
The Frenchman was probably the
shrewdest Of the European members OF
the conference, and the English plenlpo-
Tertiary the most dense. The latter was
perfectly willing to give the united
States the southwest portion OF the prov
ince of Ontario, now held TO be the most
valuable. and he would have extended
the line east and north TO the st. John
river.
West Of the line as first described lay
louisiana, a French possession. The rep
resentatives of the United States nego-
ttating the treaty looked upon that re-
rion as not especially desirable, n UNI
doubtedly never dreamed 1t would be
ours. 1t was an unknown region, as
from the terms of the treaty appeared TO
be land further east. OF course 1t would
always be a menace to our western bor-
der so long as 1t remained a French
province. but there were few settlers to
be troubled along that same western
border.
A Canadian history in speaking Of the
treaty says:
1T specified that the boundary should
pass from Lake Superior through Long
lake to the northwest angle OF Lake OF
the Woods, and then on to the Mlssis-
sippi, when, as a matter OF fact, there
was no Long lake. III the source OF the
Mississippi was actually a hundred miles
or so south Of the Lake Of the Woods.
The Canadian historian gives a fair
account OF the whole transaction. with
out a word of criticism of the three
Americans who SO skillfully outmaneu-
yered the British and the French. Not so
generous in their treatment Of the affair
are some English writer's, notably Gen.
Sir william Butler. in his story, The
Wild North Land He writes:
when in 1888 the great quarrel be-
tween Britain and her colonies was final
" adjusted, the northern boundary OF
the United States was to follow the 49th
parallel Of latitude from the northwest
angle of the Lake of the Woods to the
river Mississippi, and thence down that
river, etc.
Nothing could possibly have been
more simple, a child might comprehend
it; but unfortunately it fell out in the
course Of time that the 10th parallel was
one Of very considerable latitude indeed,
not at all a parallel of diplomatic re-
spectability. or one that could be de-
pended on, for neither at one end nor
the other could it be induced to ap-
proach the northwest angle of the Lake
O fthe Woods or the river Mississippi.

A granite boulder weighing SIX tons
will be placed at Giant springs by
Black Eagle chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, of Great Falls In
memory of Lewis and Clark, explorers,
who discovered the springs June Is,
1895. The date for the unwilling of
the marker has not been set but 1t is
expected that 1t will take place some
time before June l.
Black Eagle chapter Of the D. A. r. has
been sponsoring the project of erecting
a marker at Giant springs for several
years. Plans were begun in 1915 When
she chapter was organized and q COM
mlttee composed of Mrs. H. B. Lake. Mrs.
w. F. Guy and Mrs. George Rogers was
appointed to arrange details OF such a
project. However, due to other activities
the project vas deferred and each year
was postponed. The present year, the
marker committee. consisting of Mrs.
George II. Berry. chairman, Mrs.
Jack Abrams and Mrs. Charles Nc
Kinney, completed arrangements for
the purchase n placing OF the monu-
ment. The marker Will be erected at
the highest point south Of Giant Springs
directly in line with the center of the
springs. In this work the committee has
been assisted by chapter officers, Mrs.
". D.. NSi6OA, lOSdl le6SAtS mLo. AsobCl
Williams, treasurer, n by business men.
Presented by Budd
The boulder was presented to the chap
ter by Ralph Budd. president Of the
Great Northern railroad, whose interest
in marking old trails of the northwest
is widely known. w. r. Smith, general
superintendent Of the Great Northern,
and c. F.. O'Hara, general agent, have
a31ad fhn nnpnrnitfan m Tarru n11t tho
plans for placing the marker this year.
The boulder was brought to Great Falls
by Grover & Leuchars, who are now in
charge Of placing the bronze inscrip-
ton tablet upon it. The bronze tablet.
10 inches by SO inches, was presented to
the committee by the Anaconda Copper
Mining company through the courtesy
of A.. E. Wiggin. The inscription will
tell the date OF discovery of the springs
by Lewis and Clark and their celebration
of independence day in the vicinity.
Power Company Helps
The concrete foundation upon which
the boulder will rest was presented by
the Montana Power company upon the
recommendation of Frank Scotch, man
ager, and permission for placing the
marker on the park site at Giant Springs
was obtained from the Great Falls park
board by Harold Hoover. MI. Hoover and
<. II. Cooney, editor of the Leader, assist
ed the committee In selecting the spot
where the marker will be placed. Others
gho aided with the project include Judge

The financial obligations of Wash
ington, northern Idaho, British Column
bia and Alberta have been renewed to
the Pacific Northwest Scenic Highways
association. Three additional Montana
communities are to be added to the
1928 program, according to the field
manager, A. j. Breitenstein, who is also
secretary of the Montana Automobile
association.
The three information booths with
competent men in charge are to be con-
tinued at Yellowstone park the same as
last year, according to Mr.. Breitenstein.
1t is estimated that last year Information
distributed at the booths and from per-
sonal interviews that 5000 cars were
influenced to continue their trip in and
through Montana and TO h Pacific
northwest or Alberta which otherwise
would have gone some other route.
Last year 20 Montana towns contrib
uted financially to this project and CO.
operated In every way to make the re-
suits of the organization a success.
1t is conceded by all representatives Of
the association that automobile travel
will increase rs per cent this year, Mr..
B~reitenstein explained. The increase in
1927 over 1926 was ID per cent.
This will be particularly agreeable to
Montana, 1t is pointed out, inasmuch as
last year the 8 cents a gallon tax on
gasoline brought s240, 900 into the state
to be used on highway purposes which
matched with federal aid is equal to rs
miles Of gravel highway. 1t is estimated
that q tourist car stays In the state five
days. On this basis 10, 900 900 gallons OF
gasoline will be sold In the state this year
which will provide, when matched with
federal aid funds, $685. 900 for road build
ing purposes.
The Montana Automobile association
last year answered more than 1000 in
quiries about Montana scenic attractions.
A steady stream Of inquiries is being re-
ceived this year, according to Mr.. Brett
enstein. the majority from eastern states.
In each case literature on Montana at
fractions and roads is sent.
