San Francisco in 1896. The Nevada

contest defeated the Alameda Alerts,

teams, and a 3 to l favorite to win
the tournament honors.

Ten thousand fans witnessed the de-

San Francisco's old Central park. Ac-
cording to a copy of the San Francisco
Examiner, "it was the largest crowd
ever to witness a game of baseball on
the Pacific coast" Two bands, one from
Alameda and one from San Francisco,
added spirit to the occasion.
The Alerts scored a run in the third
inning, another in the fourth.
Six-Run Rally Decisive
Not until the sixth inning did the
NeVadans score, but they poured it On

Dempsey's cafe, for Cd to say hello
to Jack, and 90 to dine.
Dempsey talked while Chuck and
young Chuck" porkchopped their way
through the dinner hour. According
to Staples, Dempsey did not discuss the
world; neither did he mention the
present heavyweight crop. The old
ManasSa mauler did pour a lot of
questions to Staples, and some wine was
poured, too. The questions asked by
Jack were pertinently Montanan in
flavor. Some of the Dempsey questions

Sports Tales

Bernie Bierman, football coach
of the Golden GOphers of Mime
sofa University, rated as the num-
Der one team Of the country for
several years, played in an athletic
contest wearing q Butte uniform
in 1917. Bernie's role wasn't as a
footba!ler upon this occasion. He
dressed the part of a basketball
player.
The present Butte high school gym
nasium was a~uspiciously opened on a
January day in 1917. A basketball
double header was the celebrating pro-
gram. Butte and Anaconda high school
teams played in the opener and teams
representing the faculties Of Butte and
Anaconda high schools put on the fire
works in the second contest.
Butte high won from Anaconda IS
to II. Butte'S faculty team won from
the Anaconda teachers, IS to 10, in a
wild, rough and tumble contest in which
Mr.. Bierman distinguished himself as
a blocking and tackling guard.
Mike Danahey and Munsey were the
forwards; Bierman and Fillinger, he
guards, with SchauSS at center, for the
Butte faculty team.
Trouble Makers Absolved
Anaconda'S lineup was composed OF
Auten and Utterback, forwards; Scott
and Frazer, guards, and Mitchell,
center.
OF the 10 players, only n of them
is a resident of Montana. The excep-
ton is the one and only Walter Scott,
a professor at the School of Mines
and director of Montana high school
football activities.
This tale is written because of Scott
and herman. Whenever Bierman had
the ball it seemed to be SCOTS exclu-
sive right to crash into the football
mentor. He got away with his act sew
eral times. Then Bierman played the
same kind Of game. The two players
forgot all about team play, something
they specialized in as coaches. Their
principal interest was in crashing and
pummeling each other.
Free Swinging Professors
In the second half, there was a scrim-
mage in which Bierman and Scott both
were sent to the floor. Mitchell Of
Anaconda and Fillinger of Butte rushed
in to aid their mates and while fists
were swinging, Umpire Ladic blew his
whistle and ordered Mitchell and Fill
niger out of the game for unnecessary
roughnesS. The real trouble makers,
Bierman and Scott, were allowed to
continue. When Mitchell, Anaconda's
ace scorer was put out of the lineup,

their shoulders.
The Examiner said: And 30 ended
the greatest amateur struggle ever
seen on any ball field"
The new champions returned to Vir-,
GINA City in triumph, being serenaded
by bands at the depots in Reno and
Carson City. At the latter city a great
crowd of cheering people gathered to
shoot off guns and fireworks.
Nearly every resident of Virginia
City was at the depot when the train
pulled into the home town. Salutes
from the cannon of Battery B were
fired while the crowd gave vent to
~thunderous cheers.

paraded through every street of Vir-
ginia City. A banquet was served at the
famed International hotel, followed by
a grand ball at Piper's opera house.
Life, sporting life, which the Merkles
go for in a big way, began for them
then. They have long since given up
ball playing. They dance better than
they did at the grand ball at Piper's
opera house in 1896, and they haven't
forgotten how to eat, for many ban
quets have they sat down to since they
were first hailed as c%onquering heroes,
40 years ago.

PUPPIES FIRST CAGE TITLE
The Butte high team that played a
preliminary contest to the faculty brawl
went on to win the first cage title
credited to Butte high school. Quite a
few state titles have been won by
B. H. S. since.
The Butte team of 1861 was
coached by Capt. T. G. Cook. The
champion team players were Wilbur
zundle, Lip" Crowley, Larry Myers,
Butter Driscoll, Steve Sullivan and
Sanford Ladic.
Bierman's coaching was confined to
football. Cook handled both basket
ball and track. During the 1916 and
1917 school year, Butte high enjoyed
its first double honors" in winning
championships in grid and cage pur-
suits.
