The Standing

For the first time this season all three winning teams registered shut outs at the expense of their oppo- nents. The Leathemecks kept their i've game lead intact but found a new rival in the second place spot. in the presence of the up and com- ing Rangers who replaced the Bom- badiers. The Doughboys white washed the Bombers and thereby found themselves in a tie with the toothless Tigers, losers of three to the Rangers. The hapless Com mandos dropped another trio of games and buried themselves even deeper in the cellar.
 Our Rangers certainly are going places lately. They have sprung from fourth place into a strong sec- 0nd in the past three weeks and are looking forward to that big battle with the Pain In The Necks a week from Friday. Despite the fact that they've won 9 out of their last l2 games they have not been able to pick up a single game on the lead CTS who have the identical record for the same span. We have before us their record for the past three weeks. On November 6 they spilled l74O pins with one man absent the following week they set a new high three of i780 and last Friday knocked out Q i7Ti mark. Consider ing the fact that no other team has approached the last two ngures all year, 1t looks as if the Rangers might finally be clicking.
 Just when 1t looks like the Bomb ardlers are really going to threaten the Leathernecks they fall apart at the seams. They flunked last rouho, , when they were but two games ouI Of the top spot they dropped three in row to the leaders. Last weeK khny fel lcut Of second place with 2

Football Going Out Basketball Coming In
BY YIN MALONEY

EDITORS NOTE: A story
 about the traditional Army Navy
 football game as told by Bill
 Stern:
 Many years ago there were two sons born to Colonel Robert Kelle- her and the colonel at that time hoped to have two sons go to West Point and play football. and carry on the Army tradition in the fam fly. Finally the day came when both boys were eligible to take the exams to enter West Point. Bob was glad to go to West Point and he also wanted to play football, but Jim wanted to go to Annapolis and not play football; they went their separate ways much against their fathers will. When Bob got to West Point he played football much to the old mans contentment.
 But suddenly tragedy struck the Kelleher home, Bob was killed while playing football. The old man was heartbroken now that his only Army son was dead. But Jim Kelle- her, not wanting to see his fathers heart broken. quit the Naval acad- emy and entered West Point, and he also played football. Saturday the left end on the Army team made the only 70.yard run in the game, while up in the stands an old man watched with enthusiasm. be- cause the name on the lips of all the fans was Jim Kelleher, left end for Army.
 Question Marks in the
 Local Sports World
 At the Waterbury Boys club the Intermediate "B" league got off to a flying start last night with the Welles and the Robins emerging victorious. These boys put on a contest which would easily be worth anybody's money, with Bobby Knapp, J. Normandin and N. Micele tossing up 20 of the 26 markers between them. Mike ,Cuello, the best break away player l have seen in many a season, was easily two places at once in last nights free for all. He chalked up one basket, and played the best game there. Starring for the underdog Welles were Pilino and Caputo piling up 12 of the l9 points be- tween them.
 Refereeing this very fast game were Bob Bendler and Al Damelio. The final score was the Robins 26 and the Welles l9.
 The Bobs took last nights tussle by a runaway score of 49 to the Arrows 10 in game which lacked much excitement. Outstanding in this game were McGratn and Mel lon throwing up 29 points together for the Bobs, with Seller and B. Michaul throwing up the only 10 points for the Arrows.

Fifty eight years ago on the Fourth
OF July, the then small village of
Lewistown was the scene of a battle
royal with guns and pistols in the
place OF fists, in which two desper-
ADDE'S from Wyoming were pitted
against the entire membership of the
community and three men lost their
lives
OF the fatalities. only one belonged
to town. the other two victims being
the tough guys" who essayed to shoot
up the town but who paid with their
lives for their recklessness. The two
were Charles Owens, who went by the
sobriquet Of "Rattlesnake Jake" and
Charles Fallon.
The two desperate characters had
arrived on Big Spring creek about
three weeks before with small band
Of horses which they said they had
driven from Wyoming They camped
in various places trading and selling
off some Of the stock Owners of horses
in the vicinity kept on the alert, be-
lieving them to be horse thieves.
The older of the pair. "Rattlesnake
jake" between IS and 40, was of slim
build, wore his dark brown hair flow
ing over his shoulders, and his thin
lips, peaked nose, sallow complexion
and small gray eyes made up face
that seemed to indicate a combination
OF cruelty and daring. His weapons
were two long-barreled As caliber re-
volvers and two knives, all in holsters
and sheaths attached to a cartridge
belt around his waist.
His companion was about the same
build and makeup, though not quite
as hard looking a character, but wore
his hair trimmed short He was about
30 years Of age and went by the name
of Charles Fallon. He usually carried
a Winchester rifle and knife, but
no revolver.
On the afternoon Of the Fourth of
July the two rode into Lewistown
leading two pack horses. Soon after
their arrival race was gotten up be-
tween two scrub horses and while the
crowd was waiting a dispute arose be-
tween Dutch Henry" Goodshaw and
a half-breed by the name of Bob
jackson.
While they were quarreling Rattle
snake Jake" dropped off his horse and
edged over to Jackson, holding his
hand on his gun, but as the dispute
ended with no blows he said nothing
until Jackson asked what he meant
by standing there with his hand on
his gun.
"Rattlesnake Jake" replied that he
would have knocked Jackson down had
he struck Dutch Henry" whereupon
Jackson left and "Rattlesnake Jake"
mounted his horse. However, Jackson
Immediately returned and in a rough
manner intimated that although Jake
packed two guns he need not think
he could run the town.
Upon this Jake struck him across
the mouth with his revolver, knocking
him to the ground. Jackson scrambled
to his feet and started to run off
but he was followed by Jake and Fall
lon. Overtaking him Jake covered him
with his gun and compelled him to
kneel and then to lay face downward
on the ground.
Jake then remarked to his compan-
ion that he guessed they would have
to take the town and few minutes
later rsde up to Crowley & Kemp's
saloon, which they entered and took
three drinks apiece While there Jake
remarked he would be perfectly salts
