Standpoint on

The Standpoint ball club visited
here Sunday and demonstrated
conclusively why they finished the
season on top of the 1daho-Montana
league by outscoring Libby Il to 7.
The game started out to be an in
teresting contest with the score
standing at 2 to | going into the
fifth frame. At that point, however,
the Tigers exploded and with the
help of seven hits, two passes and
two errors, had scored ten runs be-
fore Lang, big first baseman, struck
out to end the nightmare From that
point on Standpoint was held score
less, but the damage was done and
even with the help of two smash
ing home runs by Durral and ka-

in the closing innings, Libby could
not overcome that lead.

Excited as hungry terrier was
Bryan Patterson when erosion re-
vealed deposit OF old bones in a
pasture near London Mills, Ill Out
of the glacial blue clay came parts
Of hind leg. pelvis, forefoot, ver-
tebrae, a molar tooth. Back in Chi
Cages Field museum, where he is
assistant curator Of paleontology,
Patterson pieced the fragments to-
gether. Recently he announced that
he had one of the finest fossil ground
sloths discovered in the u. S. since
1916. In that year the huge, ex-
tinct beast was first studied and
named "Megalonyx" by a great u.
S. paleontologist, Thomas Jefferson.
When Col. John Stuart found some
fossils in a Virginia cave, he natu-
rally sent them to Monticello where
Jefferson was known to include old
bones among his strange land, folk
said, atheistic) interests. In 1877
Jefferson described the fossil crea-
ture before the American Philosoph-
ical society (of which he was then
president) as a kind of enormous
lion because of its eight-inch claws.
Wrote he. II cannot help be-
lieving that this animal, as well as
the mammoth, are still existing
When Jefferson sent Lewis and
Clark up the Missouri river and
Capt. Zebulon Pike into the Rockies,
he half-hoped they might bag live
one.
This was not completely silly.
Megalonyx jeffersoni is SO recent
that its bones sometimes bear wisps
of hair. Paleontologist Patterson
thinks that cave men helped to ex-
terminate the creatures though IAN
embrace from a sloth would have
made a bears hug look like child's
play" In expecting to bag Mega
lonyx, Jefferson was not wrong by
more than a few thousand years.
As bone-diggers measure time, this
was only day before yesterday.
