TELLS OF B~ACK-COUNTRY
IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

Dale r. Nuss, who for the past
81 years has operated a rowing
summer camp for boys, spoke of
his organization and its functions
at the Wednesday evening meeting
of the Laurel Kiwanis club. Each
summer Nuss takes a group of not
over 20 boys between the ages of
II and ID on a v weeks pack
trip through Yellowstone park.
After gathering in Tulsa, Aka, the
boys travel in station wagons to
Gardner where the camp equipment
is stored at the end of each season.
Upon reaching Gardner each bow
is issued a horse with it's equipment,
a sleeping bag, and a share in a
two-man tent. From there they
travel by way of back-country trails
to all parts of the park. By virtue
of the fact that the trip is made
on horseback, they reach many of
the best fishing holes in the park
and are able to make some very
desirable catches.
The group does not spend all its
time in the back-country but spends
its week-ends near the lodges so
that the boys may take advantage
OF the lectures given by the park
rangers. By use of facilities pro-
vided by the park service and by
making each boy responsible for his
own equipment, Nuss attempts to
teach things not learned in city en-
Pres. w. A. Mccormick announced
that the meeting on Aug. Is will
be ladies' night.

Iome- Played Baseball Returns
To City With Opening OF Park
Community Project For Enjoying Night Games
Is Dedicated Tuesday Evening By Speakers
Teams Play Near-Tie Opening Game

After more than 20 years Lau-
rel again saw a regulation baseball
game played Tuesday evening by a
home team on a Laurel diamond.
The occasion was the dedication and
official opening, with speeches ana
cheers, of Laurel's new and brightly
lighted ball park north of and adj
joining the city's North park, with
the Laurel Farmers Union playing
the Billings Merchants in a 10 to 8
game which the Farmers Union team
won.
The event climaxed a sustained
community effort covering some
three years for providing a suitable,
modern ball park in which to enjoy
the national sport.
The crowd at opening night saw
that although all details, such as
fences, had not yet been completed,
the park was comfortable, covered
with green turf, well lighted for
night playing, and large. Every
one seemed very much pleased.
Before the game started, Paul
Wilson of the park committee told
the crowd via the public address
system that the communiy's dream
had at last come true and that this
was the night all had so long await
ed. He recounted the combined eff
forts of the Commercial club, school
district and city council. He said
the park represented a cash outlay
of between $1,000 and $4,000 and
that a great amount of donated la
Dor had been contributed to the
project. He added that some of the
details remained to be completed.
In summing up, he expressed the
happines he was confident everyone
felt that the enterprise had at last
reached the stage where it could
be used and enjoyed.
Also addressing the grandstand
audience and players on the field,
where the latter were about to be-
gin the first game, Mayor Peter
Thomson congratulated the commun-
ity on its achievement and expressed
the administrations lively interest
in a project intended to provide
pleasure for the adult public and a
opportunity for the younger
generation.
Among others called to the mi
crophone by Wilson were Harry
Wolverton, president of the Midland
Empire league; Herman Faxon, an
of the league; Jackson
Parker, Jr., manager of the Farm
ers Union team, and Eddie Bayne,
manager of the Billings Merchants
team. Taking a bow we're Fred

Everything happened in the open
ing game, starting with two runs
by Billings in the first half of the
first inning and later including two
and three base hits, home runs, and
a nineth inning rally by the Mer-
chants that nearly tipped the score
into making them the winners. The
customers got their moneys worth.
Billings opened the scoring in the
top half of the first inning when
Frank Polak, Merchant short stop,
wred a base on balls. Yves Cassidy
stepped up to the plate and then
drove out a long single to score
Polak. Shortly afterwards, with one
out and Cassidy pushed down to
second, Les Smith drove out a single
to left center to score Cassidy. The
early-staged rally was ended when
Michotte hit into a double play
from Welsh to Mileski to Belinak, To
retire the side.
Laurel came back in the bottom of
the inning to even the score at 2-all,
with Al Rack scoring on an error
by Garrilla at first, and putting
Welsh on base. Welsh later scored
from second on a right field single
by Sid Peers.
Again in the second Laurel made
tally, to forge ahead by one run,
to have the Merchants come
back in the top of the third and
tie up the ball game at 3 to 3.
In the bottom of the third, Park
er scored on an error by Polak,
Peers scored on an error at home
plate, and Belinak was batted in by
Pitcher George Krug, to make the
6 to 8 in Laurel's favor.
The game settled down for the
next five innings, with Laurel COL
four more runs to the rivals
