STREAKS RINGERS
DEFEATING BROWN
Frye's Great Performance
PaIed as Harry Retains
Local HonorS.

"HE horseshoe spotlight, rigidly

Orkney Springs, Va, after a
sensational victory in the Vir-
ginia State tournament, was jerked
loose today and slithered crafty to
Harry Saunders, to Clayton Henson
and back to Frye as ringer-throwing
random contemplated the metropoll-
tan play-offs of The Stars sixth an
nual championships to be held next
Tuesday and Wednesday.
While Frye was being acclaimed
probably the best iron fiipper ever to
appear in this bailiwick, Saunders, in
winning the District title last night at
lexington for the second straight year,
shot brand of horseshoes rarely seen
outside of world championship tourna-
ments and somewhat dimmed the
sparkle of the new Virginia star
Henson, who will defend the metro
politan title, looked on with a deal of
surprise as Saunders piled up the ring
ers in fashion unprecedented in the
history of The Star tournament. The
champion expected Arm battle from
the transplanted Missourian in the
coming contest, but neither he nor any
of the other stars thought him capable
Of the performance he gave last night.

ders put 'em on at the rate of 70,
50, 10 and 70 to take four straight.
The scores were $3.50, 50-33, 1922,
5000 and 5000.
Brown, though not at his best,
pitched well enough to win most big
matches. His ringer percentages
were 81, So, 81, So and so.
How to seed the players for the
Metropolitan battle was made

bition. AS champion, Henson will

whether Frye or Saunders will be

championship meeting. If either
Saunders or Henson is bracketed
with Frye and is bumped off, the
sport will lose natural" But for
this, the tournament management
would have Saunders and Frye draw
for brackets, a move urgently re-
duested by Saunders.
Dark Horses May Gum Works.
Until last night Henson quite
l properly regarded Frye as his
principal rival. Now the gritty
young Virginian probably is without
o choice of foes.
All of which is taking lot for
granted. There will be Is other
players in the Metropolitan scrap,
almost any one of whom, shooting
lover his head" might put the bug
on any of the big three in a short
match. Two out of three games will
constitute a match until the final,
which will be four out of seven.
The high spots of Saunders per-
Torrance last night came in the
second and fourth games. He finished
the second with IL consecutive ringers
and midway the fourth stuck on IA
In a row. Time and again no point
was scored as the pair matched
doubles.

The country at large is developing
big tournaments of this sort as the

the field at Forest Hills, but there will
be enough hard competition to keep
him moving most of the route.
The English entry carries too many
guns, as far as all-around form goes.
One of the main angles will be the
scrimmage of the United States talent
to get into the final round, with either
Wood or Shields favored. The average
class Of play at Forest Hills should
be high. But hardly high enough to
crowd Perry out of the lists and hold
the cup at home.
Most of the sailors on the En-
deavour are pulling hard for Perry,
hoping to have a look at their coun--
tryman in action-but with little
chance to get away.

The general rule was that men were
entitled to fun pay for 10 days delay
on the road, but for longer interruptions
their pay stopped, though they we're
sti1 rationed at the employers expense.
These two outfits paralleiled each other
about five miles apart, keeping In touch
with each other as a protection against
Indians. Provisions grew scarce, and
they were II days without flour, and
for q few days were without salt or
sugar. They had plenty of game. and

II might be interesting for hand
writing expert to compare the sigma
ture Of the late John Dillinger with
two names appearing on the register at
the American Legion health resort In
Phillips county. Such comparison
might confirm the conviction OF w. w.
Jaynes, caretaker, that the gangster
paid two visits to the plunge at wide
" separated intervals.
Sept. %, 1888, three persons appeared
at the plunge late at night. They drove
up in q black sedan. One man vent
TO the office and asked II there vas q
telephone. Upon learning there were
none, he asked for two cabins, register
ing as Joe Humphreys and for Mrs.
Erickson and John Barlow, all of Man
kato, MINI The following morning
they spent some time studying road
maps and drove back 10 the main
highway, distance Of four miles.
The second visit was March q, 1884.
The same car or one very similar drove
up TO the plunge again after midnight.
Again the spokesman asked If there was
q telephone and then for two cabins
Turning to Mrs. Jaynes he asked If she
recalled having seen him before. She
said she recognized him and the wo-
man. Nevertheless, the man registered
as A. M. Drake Of Minneapolis. Mrs
Jaynes compared the signature with
that Of the previous September and
found them entirely different
This time there were three men with
heavy suitcases, which they carried
with them from the office to the cabins
and to the plunge while they were bath
ing. The woman remarked to Mr.

Jaynes that swim in the plunge was
as good as nights sleep.
Mr.. Jaynes says they acted so sus-
piciously he watched them more care
fully. They never left the suitcases in
the cabin and appeared TO be nervous
about them Mr.. Jaynes thought they
might be federal officers looking for in
formation as they asked for the register
and took it out to the car, where they
carefully checked late visitors TO the
plunge. While they were looking over
the register, a large car, crJIised slowly
by on the road leading north from the
plunge AS it passed, the spokesman
waved as Il indicating they were ABOUT
to leave.
All but one man appeared to be in
good spirits. The woman and the man,
who bore a striking resemblance to
Dillinger, laughed and talked al the
time they ate breakfast.
After the party loaded the suitcases
in the car and left, Mrs. Jaynes COM
pared the two signatures, finding no
similarity. 1t was not until Mr. Jaynes

and clicked their roulette wheels. Mel
without money, with no Jobs, sat aroune
the saloon walls and slept.
Crawford's first Job was turning 8
hand windlass for his board. ALI he gol
out Of his hard work was his coarse
food, and he was always hungry. Wild
meat, flour, beans, rice and dried ap-
Piles was the bill of fare. Potatoes were
unknown. In April he hauled dirt from
Helena Gulch to Prickly Pear creek
four miles, washing out the dirt ano
making So load, net.
In those days it cost one dollar to
record a mining claim. He had claim
near where Whitehall now stands that
he neglected to file on, which yielded
thousands Of dollars after he had lost
it.
Freight rates were So per hundred to
Fort Benton, $11 to Virginia City.
Sometimes they had TO go clear to Fort
Union after the freight they had ex-
pected to load at Fort Benton. Once. to
relieve a flour shortage, John Grant
sent to Fort Benton for ten sacks OF
flour. The freighters used to fry hot
cakes in bears grease, and no recipe
In the washington cook book was half
so valuable to prospector as a know
ledge Of how to make sourdough flap
jacks.
Sometimes the wandering prospectors
were terribly hard up for food. A man
stopped at the Sun River crossing and
asked a settler what the chance was for
getting something to eat. The settler
answered, Fin" and handed him 81
fishrod and line. A hungry man with
a fishpoie was luckier in those days
than he might be now.
In May, 1865. Mr. Crawford joined
Jerry Mann's freight outfit as night
herder. Mann ran 80 wagons to Fort
Benton, six yoke Of oxen to the wagon,
with full change of teams and extras,
about 400 oxen in all. They followed
the trail north from Helena to the west
side of the Missouri river, over Prickly
Pear creek. and Prickly Pear mountains
10 Sun river, and on to Fort Benton.
Usually they went out empty, coming
IN loaded with mining machinery. On
first trip with Mann, the
boats had not yet come up the river,
put they loaded with stuff left at Fort
Benton from the fall before. When
hey reached Fort Benton they heard OF
Lincoln's assassination, Many Of the
buildings were draped in black, but by I
no means all of them, for there we're
plenty Of southern sympathizers among I
Early Montana settlers.
At Helena, on their return, one bit
# news was that some one had made
! success of growing barley in the Bit
er Root valley, and had set up a small
1our mill to grind it. It made poor
rade of flour, but was better than
nothing.
On their next freighting trip to Fort
Benton, the miners Clipped IN $1,000
IS prize for the first boat UP the river.
Is soon as the boats began coming, the
Dads to Helena and Virginia City were
ined with teams. Mann's outfit stop

racing craft owned by George

laurels here next Friday and Sat-
urday in the eighth renewal OF
the Presidents Cup Regatta on the
Potomac River. Seven boats, in
cluding Aaron deRoy's Hornet and
Bill Horns leaping Delphine w,
have challenged for the chief ex-
ecutive's trophy which El Lagarto
won for a second time last year.
Both the Hornet, which flys the
colors of the Detroit yacht club,
and Delphine w. from Hampton,
Va, loom as likely contenders for
Ell Lagarto's Presidents Cup toga.
