Nv GLENDOLIN DAMON WAGNER
In the history Of Montana we
read the terse statement: ITO VIII
liam FairweafE1er IS accredited the
discovery Of gold in Alder's gulch.
Rut hack OF that statement IS
voausne Of dramatic incidents. Had
IL nat been for a band OF lo0ting
Crews. and one mans desperate
need Of tobacco, the ore deposits ln
the richest gulch in the world
Alder guhch-might have lain I'M
disturbed for many years. There
might have been no Nevada CITY
nor Virginia City. The entire coll
nrfuI story Of the building up OF
western Montana would have been
written differently.
In the spring of 1863 a group OF pros
pectors including Louis Simmons, VIII
liam Fairweather, George Orr, Thomas
Cover. Barney Hughes and Henry Ed
ger set out from the thriving mining
town OF Bannack in search OF new
gold fields And they were travelling

the leadership of James Stuart who
was skirting the Yellowstone river.
Today on rocks along the banks OF the
Yellowstone near the mouth Of Stink
ing Water creek the inscriptions
carved by Stuart and his men on that
trip 20 years ago are still legible. But
when Fairweathers party arrived at
Sinking Water they were disappointed
to find only the dead ashes OF a camp
fire. They fastened on until they
reached the upper Yellowstone and
there, to their dismay, they were at
tackled by a band Of pillaging Crows
who stole from the whites everything
Of value-horSes, guns, provisions
then, in q spirit of rare generosity,
left behind their own lame, half starved
and worn out horses. Moreover the
Crows made it very plain that the
whites were to return at once to Ban
mack, that if they continued their
journey it would be at the peril OF
capture and death.
A Gloomy Day
In his journal Fairweather writes
that that was the "gloomiest day Of
his life" The men were very much wor-
ried about their own safety and they
were concerned over the welfare Of the
prospectors under Stuart who would be
certain sooner or later to meet up with
the marauding Crows. They were dis
couraged and they were hungry. The
Indians had appropriated their food,
their tobacco and most Of their am
munitiOn. They inched along on lame,
sore backed horses and cursed their
fate and the Crows. About one days
travel up the Madison they stopped to
camp and rest their exhausted ponies.
While the other men we're making
camp, william Fairweather went out
to tend the horses. His rowing glance

cropping of rock. But the story OF the
discovery Of gold that led to the open
ing up of Alder gulch is best told by
Henry Edger in his journal, dated May
26, 1868. He writes:

 Eyston Records

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. The contest board of the American Au- tomobile Association, upon review ing the official charts compiled by Capt. George Eyston on Utahs Bonneville salt beds, awarded the British racing driver 20 new rec ords. But the records may not stand for long. Alb Jenkins, Ameri- ca's No. 1 auto speed record hold CT, will race over the same gleam- ing surface in an effort to bring all 20 of the marks to an American driver.
 Jenkins will travel over a cir cular course. The contest board, the national governing body of auto racing and speed competition, has announced Jenkins will start his assault on the records as soon as possible. He will use a 12-cylinder racing car especially built for the strenuous grind.
 Eyston and his relief driver bet tered all previous records ranging from the 200-kilometer distance criterion to the 5-hour mark, and including records for 5000 and 10,- 900 kilometers.
 One of the records beaten by Ey- ston = that for 500 kilometers- formerly was held by Jenkins.

BALL LEAGUE
 LIMITS RULE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-In order to speed up play and give the spectators more action, the Nation al League has ot d to do away with all ground rules on thrown balls, except those going into the stands or dugouts, or which are irretrievable. The new rule went into effect July Is and applies to all parks in the circuit.
 Rules GroaDn
 Ground rules have grown so in volume within the last few years that the entire back of the official lineups was covered with them and managers and umpires found it necessary to waste five minutes or more before the first game of each series, explaining additional restric- tions It is said that in Cincinnati, for example, three different sets of ground rules already have been printed this year
 More Changes
 By keeping the ball in play on all overthrows, with the exception of those going into the stands and dugouts or which are irretrievable, it is believed the fielders will be forced to be more alert and that the base runners will be inspired to take more chances. There will be no suspension of play while the runners take the number of bases to which they are entitled, or are held from advancing beyond a re- stricted point; instead, the base runners may go as far as they can at their own risk, or the fielders may throw them out if they fail to reach bases to which, hitherto, they were a1tonlatically entitled.

SPORT SLAN1S


 If Roy Weatherly, Cleveland's sen- sational rookie outfielder, hopes to continue hitting at the pace he set the first two weeks with the In- dians he will have to overcome tendency to go after bad balls. Still, if a batter can pound the ball at a .37U average, what matter if he does reach for few stray ones?
 Weatherly defends himself against the charge that he is over anxious at the plate. True, he does go after ball that is a bit wide now and then but that is only be- cause he learned from bitter ex- perience that the umpires in the Southern Association are prone to give the pitchers the benefit of any doubt and unless batter swings at anything close he is likely to be called out.
 Now convinced that umpiring in the American League is far superior to the minor league grade, he is not afraid to look 'em over. The fact that last season, with New Orleans, he walked only 13 times Roy thinks is sufficient evidence to show that it is a case of swing or sit down.
 The Texas Terror"
 Weatherly came to Cleveland with only two years of professional ex- perience. He was born in Warren, Tex, twenty years ago and learned his baseball on Warren sandlots. He was an all-around player in those days, taking a fling at out fielding, infielding and going be- hind the plate. He made his bow in professional ranks in 1884 when he got a job in the Evangeline League. Last year he was with New Orleans, where he set the Southern Association on fire.
 He broke an arm last May Two days after he returned to the line up Cleveland picked him up. And in the short time he has been in the big time Weatherly has shown enough to stamp him as potential star
 One of the impressive things about the youngster is his willing ness to listen to advice and to study ways and means of overcoming his faults. Lefthanders bothered him when he first played in the South ern Association. He readily admits that. But he didn't let it worry him. He simply figured that he would work out way of hitting the southpaws as well as the right handlers if given the opportunity to face them regularly.
 The Southern Association is an ideal spot to get plenty of work against wrong -siders, for almost ev- cry team in the circuit has at least two lefthanded pitchers. Before his first year of service was over Weatherly stood up and took his cut against the southpaws' offer ings with as much confidence as

 HubbeIl Over Dean?
 George Tucker, a rabid Giant rooter if ever there was one, is dis gusted with all this chatter about Dizzy Dean being the greatest pitcher in the National League.
 Why don't you forget Dig for a moment and take a look at what Carl Hubbell has been doingP' George wants to know. Carl has the best earned run average in the National League. That's wha: real ly counts.
 "If the Giants gave Hubbell any thing like the number of runs the Cardinals give Dean to work on, Carl would have half a dozen more victories to his credit. But they don't That's why Hubbell has to come mighty close to pitching shut out ball to win. In his last 32 and two-third innings on the mound Carl has allowed exactly two earn ed runs.
 His recent victory over Dean and the Cardinals was his 18th of the season and his third in five days. He has lost six games this year. He'll top 20 victories before they ring the curtain down on this season-you can bet on that.
 "The records may not give Carl an edge over Dizzy right now, but they will before long. Carl is his old self again, and that means he is as good, or maybe little better, than any pitcher in the National League. Forget Dean for a while and keep an eye on Hubbell."

Pitchers Duel Is Umpired by Chief of Police
