60, Billings attorney and chairman of
the republican state central commit

the recent Northwest Airlines plane
crash at Moorhead, MINI.
Brown was born at Winamac, Ind,
Nov. u, 1880, attended schools there
and was graduated from the Month
cello high school at Monticello, Ind.
During the Spanish-American war,
he served with the American army in
Cuba and upon his return enrolled
at Indiana university where in 1903
he received his A. B. degree and in
1909 his law degree.
He came to Billings in 1909 and
had practiced law there since. On
June. l, 1910, he married Helen Norris
at indianapolis, Ind.
He belonged to the knights Templar,
the Scottish Rite and the Shrine, and
was member of the First Congrega-
tlonal church of Billings. He was
chairman of the republican state CEN
trail committee also in 1928.
Besides his widow he is survived by

in which they disbelieved. When they
went to Colorado. it was with the ex-
pectation of making their home there:
but the war governor of that territory
calling for a draft to aid the north,
led to a speedy exodus of southern
sympathizers. who were soon "Ow'er
the border and AVA" into Idaho. The
news of gold discoveries farther north
drew many of these eXiles to what is
now Montana.
One writer blamed the union men
for whatever trouble arose, as he said
their opponents were too busy build
ing up cities, establishing schools, and
doing other constructive work to in
dulge in factional strife The truth is
there was plenty of idealism and hys-
terra shown by both parties, as is
customary in wartime.
Judge Pemberton, one Of these same
Missourians, has admirably described
the situation, in an article written for
the Montana historical records, on
the changing Of the name of Edgerton
county. appearing originally in The
Muscular.
He says of that time, The people
were all radicals-Governor Edgerton
was radical. the judges were radi-
Gals, and the legislature was composed
of radical democrats and, as Colonel
Sanders used to say in those days,
elected by the Irish and the Mis-
sourians.' Sanders history says that
this action was the result of the
smouldering embers Of political hatred
This is open to question, for the en-
bers had not had time to shoulder
after the war In many cases the fire
burnt too brightly, and the blood was
still hot with hatred and passion that
coursed through the veins of the
people"
Time was required to extinguish
these fires, but that it was accom-
plished is well illustrated by the re-
mark of former prominent citizen
of Helena to Colonel Sanders. Said
he. Sanders, If had caught you out
in the hills when I first came here,
and I had my gun with me, would
have shot you as would a dog. But
have come to find out that you

of northern birth in Montana who
would object to naming a town after
the gracious lady who was the wife
of the president of the southern con-
federacy. But those who feel disposed
to criticize Judge Bissell for substi-
tuting the name of Virginia City for
that of Varina, should remember a
Civil war was in progress then.
1t is often asked why was the
term 'Missourian' held to be reproach-
ful?"
This was due to class of southern
ers that might be denominated poor
whites" that drifted in They were ig-
norant, lazy and shiftless, and it is
unaccountable how they ever had
energy enough, of their own volition,
to leave their native states. Most of
them came from Pike county, Mis-
souri,, or Posy county, Indiana, and all
were intensely loyal to the confederacy
They were never reconstructed, and
to the end of their lives continued to
wage war for the lost cause. While a
changed environment did not, appar-
emily, benefit to their children, who
in language or manners could not be
distinguished from others with more

In baseball wars it is customary
TO stick TO the champions until
they are dethroned, so this season
the Bench Warmer is again bac-
uie the Cincinnati Reds to win the
National league pennant and de-
feat the American league entry IN
in October.
But let George Kirksey of the
United Press tell you about the
i94l Cincinnati baseballers.
Rule No. ! in Deacon Bill Nc
Kechnie's book Of baseball COM
mandents is: Never beat yourself >
That's the secret of the success of
the world champion Cincinnati
Reds, Twice in succession the Reds
have climbed the golden stairs on
gilt-edge pitching and air-tight de-
fense. In le41 the Reds will bid to
make it three in row with the
same prescription.
The Reds. always. are short on
power. But they proved in the Ma
tional league pennant race and the
world series last year that great
picthing can throttle long-range
hitters. The Reds are loaded with
pitching.
Mid-March appraisals lead to the
belief that the Reds will have a
stronger ball club this season than
they did in l940-with only one
big IF" tossed into the picture.
The big question mark concerns
Ernie Lombardi's sprained ankle,
which he hurt last September. He
was able to catch only one world
series game. and the winters rest
failed to bring the ankle back to
normal. He has no better than a
$3.50 chance of being ready 10
catch the season opener.
For insurance. the Reds pushed
into the market and bought 34-
year-old Johnny Riddle from the
Yanks' Kansas City farm. Riddle
is smart receiver but a light
hitter. Much responsibility will fall

can't catch more than 100 games.
The Reds pitching and defense

about. Pitcure big three" of Paul
Derringer, Buckley Walters anG
Gene Thompson, each a potential
20-game winner No other club can
match that trio. Then. in the Sec
ond line they have Jim Turner,

three last season.
Battling for the other places or
the staff are Johnny Wander Nicer
Of double no-hit, no-run fame: Bob
Logan, a left-hander up from IN
dianapolis where he won l8 games;
Witt Guise, another lefty; Big John
HutchingS, who is being brought
along slowly; and Elmer Riddle,
brother of the Reds new catcher.
Derringer, Walters, and Thomp-
son won 58 games last year and
barring a nishap they'll be in the
same neighborhood again. Whitley
Moore seems to be the boy TO
watch. may arrive this season.
Pearson has shown no trace of his
shoulder ailment and McKechnie
is high on him. Wander Meers
curse is lack of control. If and
when he curbs his wildness he'll
be a major league star again.
The Reds only other possible
question mark is at shortstop. Dur
ing the winter the Reds traded
Billy Myers to the Cubs for Out
fielder Jimmy Gleason and Short
stop Bobby Mattick. Eddie Joost,
who played rs games at short last
season. is slated to take over Myers
job. Mattick and Pep Young If
Pittsburgh will be hanging around

pectationS.
Elsewhere in the infield. Frank
Mccormick will be back at first.
Lonnie Frey at second and Bill
Werber at third. 1t is doubtful if
any other National league club has
as much defensive strength in the
infield.
Gleason, the leagues sixth rank
ing hitter last season with an aver
age of .3l3, will put more punch in
the Reds attack and will improve
their outfield. Ival Goodman's all
ing throwing arm is rounding into
form slowly, but he is expected to
be ready to play when the curtain
rises. Harry Craft, making a de-
terrnined comeback, is battling
Mike Mccormick every inch Of the

Why aren't there any lefthanded

est riddles. Too, you'll bring peace
OF mind to Bill Dickey, star CATCH
Cr Of the New York Yankees and
che Of the greatest backstops in the
history of the game.
Bill has wondered why there
aren't any southpaw receivers. The
subject has fascinated him because
he believes that lefthanders would
make the best catchers. He wishes
that he were lefthanded; says il
would have made him a fine
catcher.
There is an unwritten law in
baseball that a lefthanded fellow
just mustn't try to catch" Bill told

dozens Of baseball people the rea-

Promoter Mike Jacobs delighted

throng were turned away from the
Olympia This was unfortunate be-
cause they missed the spectacle OF
lifetime The New York giant up

The bout was scheduled for %
rounds, and at the end of the 10th

Simon, who had been vastly under
rated, shed most of Louis blows in
true tank fashion, all the while
humping the champions face with
a wagon-tongue left jab that had

later stages of his 18th crown de-
Tense.
Simons WHO never had been
knocked off his feet before, hit the
canvas four times and was belted
half through the ropes once. But
he was on his feet at the end,
though staggering about helplessly
with blood dripping from gashes
in both broWs and from cuts on
nose and mouth. Referee Sam Hen
neSsey stopped it then, at 1920 Of

giant is far better fighter than
