BASEBALL COMMENT
BIG LEAGUE SCOUT HERE.

LIN LGfAAOG 9S0OA AAENLs
The Montana State League is at
tracing notice. The Boston Amer
leans sent a scout to see games in
Butte. Helena and Great Falls, and if
ever a Montana boy could get a break,
he will now-the ivory hunter is none
other than Earl Shelley, ex-Mines
Lacquer" This is what Judge Rudy
KLINE said in part at the meeting Of
managers and commissioners last Mon
day night at the Finlen where a finan-
cial report was read and suggestions
offered for the betterment of the
league. 1t was pointed out by Secre-
tary Chouinard, who read a financial
statement OF the league, that with even
a conservative budget figure on the
attendance for the remainder of the
games, the league will not wind up in
the red as many pessimists predicted.
Applying System Suggested.
AS a suggestion for the 1886 cam
paign, President Klune proposed in
stalling a complete ~broadcasting sys-
TEN at the park. The purpose is to
keep the fans at all times acquainted
with the batter-the man in the lime
light-what he has been doing or is
expected to do from past performances.
Klune was congratulated by all at
tending for advancing the idea and was
asked by Commissioner Fogarty of the
Silver Bow Park delegation to %investi-
gate the possibilities Of using such a
system in the league championship
series. Besides the prexy and his sec
rotary, all commissioners and team
managers and a few delegates from the
bleacher section, attended the most
successful meeting held thus far.
Fans See Extra Inning Contests.
The weekend baseball program was
a real treat for the small crowd that
attended the Silver Bow Park Walk
erville game last Sunday. After tieing
Walkervill'e 2 score in the eighth in
ming, 0rlich put the Red-caps in the
lead with a boundary belt into the
stands. VAUDEVILLE then commenced
to tie that in their half OF the inning
and from there it dragged along until
the thirteenth when Nettleton decided
his arm had enough and whanged out
a double that brought the winning
score in. Result, 4 to 3.
The game in Helena between East
Helena and Anaconda was also won by
a pitcher when Keith Ario knocked out
a single in the twelfth inning with two
away, to bring home Tursich and score
the winning marker over Anaconda,
2 to /.
Giants Soft?
The Colored Giants, champs OF the
first-half race have been accused of
getting soft, going stale and hundreds
OF other things. II is noted by your
correspondent, however, that the Gil
ants now experimenting to get the fast
est infield possible are showing plenty |
OF strategy. Doug Jackson, knowing Of
the left-handed batting weakness of
certain Freebourn sluggers has been
working Hatten and Lefty Spearman
overtime to get them in shape for the
approaching series. However, Manager
McGonigle is not idle in theis respect
and every night when Freebourns
are not playing they have batting prac-
tice against left-hand pitching. 1t WILDE
a great series but as Doug Jackson in
timated, 81 may be wrong about our
opponent, because East Helena is in
there-just two games behind, but
going to do McGonigle a favor.
When we play East Helena, we're 60
ing to beat them, just like he beat
