Next Wrestling Card
Provides New Faces

Al Westcott, a highly rated wrestler
will make his first appearance in Butte
at the Miners Hail next Monday, May
18th, when he gets the acid test by
tackling the tough Johnny Demchuk
as his first opponent.
Demchuk is one of the most apress-
i've boys to have appeared here, and
Westcott who halls from Chicago will
probably have his hands full Although
Westcotts scrap book looks like a
Horatio Alger story, showing his rapid
rise from mere curtain raiser to where
he was wrestling main eventers in his
home town. He comes highly recon-
mended and should be a crowd pleaser
Bob Cummings, the boy who beat
Billy Spendlove to capture the Mon
tana middleweight championship and
who showed last week that he was
capable Of retaining it, will face the
always dangerous Eddie Meyers.
The fans asked for this match after
the last bout here, when Cummings
beat Demchuk in what was one Of the
best wrestling matches seen here since
the reign Of Pat Connolly.
If Cummings is able to get in his
drop kick before Meyers starts his
dirty work, it will be a tough evening
for the Great Falls Bad Boy.
Although we concede that Meyers
is clever, we also know Bob can wres-
tie.
The opening bout brings back the
ever popular Vancouver Teddy Bear,
namely, Billy Spendlove, who will meet
Horace Barber of Spokane. BARRIERS
last appearance here was against the
clever Tex Hager in which the boys
wrestled with neither Of them being
able to capture a fall. Barber who
has not had the experience of his old
er opponent, always makes his best
matches in a one fall match, where he
is not required to have the stamina
and endurance that a two fall match
requires, very few Of the boys have
been able to do anything with Bar
Der in a one fall match.
With practically two new faces and
four of the most popular wrestlers
here, a good crowd is anticipated.
The wrestling promoters also had no
card last Monday, due to the fights and

Whispers and Artists Pay When
Judgment Day Comes

The beginning of a certain week
dawns. AS the pupils file into their
seats, the teacher begins to assemble
her material for the days work. Then
standing before the class, she explains
the work to the class for a whole hour,
as there will be a test the next day,
Now we move to the center of the
room. Two girls are whispering, Civ
ing no thought to the teachers ex-
PLANTATION. A boy is drawing funny
pictures of the teacher and his friends,
evidently unaware of a test mex day.
From here we move to the farthest
corner of the room. There is a lively
game Of t~ic-tac-toe being conducted by
a group Of boys and girls here. AS
you see now, the teacher is practically
the only one who is even thinking
about the mex days test.
Tuesday dawns. We see pupils hur-
rying to their seats and frantica1ly
examining" for the test. Others are
whispering excitedly as if trying to get
information The tests are passed out
and silence falls on the whole room.
This lasts for an hour or so, and then
groans and more groans issue
from the classroom.
After a period of a few days the
grades are read.
Now the teacher THINKS that those
who received high grades are pupils
who are studious and work hard, but
this observer through the keyhole
knows that every test is a guessing
contest, and only the "fellers" who are
clever and fast in guessing are re-
warded with good grades.

Unless a man a sport a car

The heart of any lass.

A baby on his knee.

And milk costs more than hay.

BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR.

BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR.
TULY promises to be the month of
respite from horse shows, there
being only one meet scheduled
~ SO far prior to the Charles Town
exhibition on August Q and 8.
In this interval Of peace and hot
afternoons it may behoove the man
ayers, exhibitors, riders and spectators
of 1886 to reflect upon the qualities
which made the good shows good and
the bad shows boring in the Spring
and early Summer.
In advancing any theory about the
amusement end Of horse business 1t is
easy to find at least mild and q
highly vtriolic opposition. We will
therefore confine this survey to a ran
dom collection Of opinions expressed
by others, adding merely the fact that
certain meets which needed these pre-
cepts seemed to enjoy the greatest
prosperity and success.
FROM the spectators: Action and
spectacle are 80 per cent of the
show. A class that is not picturesque
or swiftly paced means nothing. Thus,
Corinthian or a 5-foot triple-bar
class charms the rearts Of the rail-
birds So do ladies riding side saddle,
children dressed up in huting clothes,
etc.
Long, laborious sessions Of confor-
nation judging In the ring put the
grandstands to sleep. 1t would be bet
ter to lead the horses out into another
paddock after performances had been
scored, look them over and and then
bring the winners back into the ring
Outside courses are the most fun
to watch for hunter classes, for they
are faster and therefore more stimu-
lating. Inside courses, naturally, for
open jumpers, for then the man on
the ground gets that sense of "umph"
every time a horse goes over big
fence.
Interest in any class increases at
least so per cent when one knows
rider or riders participating in the
Evening star., 1936-07-09

official stand, where che judges relax
between classes. By all, they mean to
say "all"
Judges should be imported from
some more or less distant place. AS
somebody suggested, native China
man would be the ideal Judge in Wash
ington. This lays the ghosts Of all
remarks about judges having sold
some Of the horses they decorate with
ribbons, or hoping to sell hunters to
some Of the wealthier exhibitors, etc.
It is also fairer to the judge, who has
an opportunity to select the winners
solely on the basis Of what he sees,
rather than fighting constantly with
preconceived prejudices for or against
certain horses already well known
to him.
FROM the riders: Free ice water
and lots of it on the grounds.
Fewer ouN;ide courses that start or
with collapsit& fences in the ring
and then change to good. stiff, tight
ones farther along. It's o. K, how
ever, to wind up over a ring Jump
or two. The unstable ones coming
first give some horses an idea that
all the fences will topple over if
raped. Very sad mistake
Larger paddock space to await ones
turn in a class. This makes for less
kicking. jamming and stirring up of
excitable horses. Also it is great
help not to have the waiting pad
docks located where a horse going
over an outside course must pass by.
Prevents green horses becoming herd
tied.
More post and rail fences.
More plank fences.
More chicken coops.
More brush jumps.
More log jumps.
(Ypu pays your money and you
takes your choice Of the above. Very
few riders can agree.)
Bigger and better beds in hospitals.

event. Hence the more amateur riders
the keener the concern Of the on
lockers.
1t is distinctly not pleasing to see
riders in the ring coarless, with rolled
up sleeves and open collars. A show
is a show anywhere, deserving of
some dignity Neither do nl-kempt
grooms enhance the beauty of any
ring scene, although trim, well-dress-
ed ones are perfectly acceptable as
aides to their employers when needed.
FROM the exhibitors: Conditions
Of every class should be clearly,
fully and precisely stated in the prize
list or program. This saves entering
horses in the wrong classes, being
accused Of trying deliberately to get
entries into events in which they are
not eligible and other embarrass-
ments.
Where open jumping classes are
held, the type Of rules to be followed.
lie, international, National Horse
Show Association or whatnot, should
be plainly stated for the information
of the judges. This prevents argu-
ments over the way in which per-
formances are rated. Also, the con-
ditions Of an open class should be
specific, pertaining to ticks. knock
downs. refusals. runouts and time (if
the latter is included). Nobody cares
whether an open horse smiles while
jumping or tries to bite the ring at
tendants. It's the results that count.
In order to prevent ill-feeling. all
exhibitors should be barred from
handling their own horses during con-
formation judging "a friend can do it

all likewise should be kept from the

THERE is one fault which all these
little ports have in common, and
which should not be overlooked by the
fishermen. From Herring Bay to Sol
onions there are only one or two which
have anything even resembling q safe
harbor. They are located on compar-
atively shallow water without 50 much

those sudden bay storms is. going to
come up and there will be some
mighty sick fishermen out there riding
1t out because their captain has no
safe place to land. It's just one Of
those things which cannot be helped,
but 1t Is advisable not to take too much
of chance when bad weather is in

North Beach and Seaside are about

which boats make the trip to the
Gooses, but practically every landing
between Herring Bay and Solomons
Island has several which will run
over there.
A short pier has just been built at
Dares Beach to accommodate the two
boats operating from there this year.
Last year there was only one boat, and
this had to be reached by rowing out
about 100 feet or so.
Dares Beach is almost opposite the
Gooses, which makes it very conven-
lent, and if it only had a few more IA
