Western Star
To Stop Here

Browning Will become a regu-
lar stop for the Great Northern
Western Star passenger train,
and a radical change in mail ser
vice will be inauguarated next
Sunday, September 25th, as
result of the abOlishing of
Trains Nos. q and %, and turn
ing over the handling of mail for
this station to the Western Star.
Considerable change in time
of the Western Star will be-
come effective with the change,
it is announced. The west bound
train, No. 3, will arrive at Brown
ing at 1888 a m, about an hour
and fifteen minutes earlier than
the present time of arrival and
the east bound train, No 4, will
arrive here at $40 p m, some
what later than the present ar
rival time
This change will make Brown
ing regular, scheduled stop
ping station for the Western
Star, and will result in much
better passenger service, and
will change and improve the
mail service Heretofore, the
mail trains were the only passen-
ger trains making scheduled
stops here, and it was impossible
to buy tickets either leaving
Browning for the west or com
ing in from that direction from
stations east of Spokane This
restriction will now be removed,
and it will be possible to use the
train for destinations where the
train makes regular stops, in
Guiding such places as Kalispell,
Whitefish, Libby and some other
points east of Spokane
The service to the east and
south is not affected to such an
extent, as it has been possible
to get the train to stop for points
east or south of Shelby.
Mail Service Changed
The change will also affect the
mail service, in and out of
Browning Heretofore, all mail
except first class pouch mail,
was handled exclusively by the
mail trains. AS result, most of
the mail from here was handled
on the morning train going west,
and the evening train going east.
The new schedule will bring the
mail in from the east at approx
mately 1l:00 o'clock in the fore
noon. and the east bound train
will not arrive in time for local
delivery until the following
morning

After several weeks Of anxious
waiting while tests were being
made the announcement came
on Saturday of last week from
onion Oil COmpany's headquart-
crs in Los Angeles that the
Morning Gun well, seven miles
southwest Of Browning is a non
producer 50 far as gas is con-
CcTncd
The official announcement
merely stated that the well was
rated as a million and one-half
per day gasser, but made no
mention of its capacity for pro-
ducing high grade distillate,
which al one time was supposed
to be at a rate of $50 barrels of
56 gravity crude per day
The Morning Gun well drew
wide interest from the oil in
dustry, and others interested
throughout the state, as it was
the first test of a large area ex-
tending approximately fifteen
miles out from the base of the
Rocky mountains, in which fabu-
lOuS sums had been paid as bo-
nus money for leases This sec
ton referred TO as the Dis
turbed Belt" was supposed to be
an extension of the geological
conditions prevailing in the huge
Pincher Creek gas field, north of
TIE Canadian border, and about
. tie same distance from the
/ mountain base as the Morning
Gun location Ten or a dozen of
the major oil companies partici-
pated in an energetic campaign
for leases IN the area from the
border to the southern boundary
Of the Blackfeet reservation, and
beyond to the southwark.
After the leases had been fair
y well blocked up, millions of
dollars we're spent by most of

ence. Our host was Mitch Digges,
with his two able assistants,
Buddy Boiling and Billy Barnes.
Joe Tucker, Mitch's partner, was
out in the Far West wrestling
with a geiger counter or some
thing, and we missed seeing him.
The birds were wild. None had
been released for a week or more,
and had weathered the cold spell,
gathering a sense of self-suffi-
cheney worthy of a North Dakota
bird. We hunted hard for them.
They were wary, flew fast and
far, and gave us some fine sport.
Buddy Bolling's little pointer,
Lady, was in fine fettle and made
some sagacious retrieves. She was
ably assisted by Joe fuckers
pointer, Nellie. In fact, those two
little canine ladies make a pair
of working dogs that will be hard
to beat in any circumstances.
You won't often see better bird
work than they display.
X 4 \ n
Buddy Boiling has taken on
some dogs for training, and has
every facility for doing a good
job. Not only are there pheasants
galore to work with. but there
also are many quail on the 1000
odd acres comprising this reg
ulated shooting grounds. Buddy
told us that his pointer. Lady,
had had more than 1000 birds
shot over her in the last two to
three years. He says he can still
handle a few more dogs.
When we came in at noon for
lunch at the La Plata Country
Club, a regular feature of hunt
ing with Mitch and Joe. our
pleasure was greatly augmented
by the greeting Of two old and
valued friends, Larry and Louise
Williams, who had come down
for shoot in the afternoon. We
all dined together and talked
over old days at the National
Capital Skeet Club and some Of
the great shoots we'd had. We're
going down soon again for
shoot with Mitch and Joe. The
season in Maryland runs clear
through March this year. Posi-
bly, the bill permitting a license
fee Of only IS for shooting on
controlled shooting grounds will
have been passed and signed by
the end Of this month. which
should help out those not pos

Stor Leaves BeIvoir Friday A.
Groot's Return Biggest Factor
In Pirates Hopes of Climbing
By Bob Henson

A recent pre-training camp
evaluation pointed out that the
Pirates might have enough talent
this year to vacate the National
League cellar. the unenviable
position they have occupied the
last four years.
The story went on to say that
If the team climbs, 1t will be due
to the development Of several
rockies. General Manager Branch
Hickey has rounded up a highly
promising crop of newcomers.
Be that as it may, the young
man who is expected to give the
Pirates the biggest lift is Corpl.
Dick Groat, Company A. 969
Engineer Construction Battalion,
Fort Belvoir, Va, who on Friday
will become plain Dick Groat
again.
He enlisted two years ago and,
with the exception of IL days at
Fort Meade, Md, when he first
went in. his Army time has been
spent at Fort Belvoir.
And how does he feel about
changing from khaki to flannel?
"The first year or Is months
of Army life I didn't mind"
Groat said. II met a lot of nice
| people, made several new friends.
But the last six or eight months,
WE'LL"
If Groat, UNDERSTANDABLE. is
anxious to get back into pro-
fessional baseball, the Pirates
are even more anxious to have
him.
AS a rookie, fresh off the Duke
campus, Shortstop Groat led the
Pirates in 1852 with a .284 bat
ting average. The Pittsburgh
club hasn't had many of its
players swatting at that pace
since Groat left.
High Marks in Service.
The 24-year-old Groat prob
ably will pick up where he left
off. In, two seasons with the
Belvoir team he hit 1862 and
.377. In 1858. his first year with
the team. he was a big factor
as Belvoir won the worldwide,
All-Army championship.
The 5-foot-11, lisp oun d
Groat. a righthanded batter. is
mostly a line-drive type hitter.
spraying his shots to center and
right-center.
II just concentrated on meet
ing the ball when I played" he
said. "Mr. Hickey would like for
me to pull the ball to left to get
more power in my drives. but I
find it easier to just level of
than to try to snap my wrists at
the last moment"
While at Duke, Groat was an
All-American in both baseball
and basketball. He set a national
scoring record for one season in
basketball, q record since broken.
He played one season Q95O
with the Fort Wayne Pistons.
Averaging 13 points q game,
Groat made the National Bas-
ketball Associations rookie team.
Playing his next-to-last game
for the Belvoir five last night.
Groat rang up 35 points, equaiing
Evening star., 1955-02-09

his season average, as his team
lost to Andrews AFB, 100-87.
He has an even higher aver
age for his weekend play with
Mike Sklar's Stars. On January
81 he made 81 points in an aft
ernoon game with Sklars, then
journeyed to Cumberland, Md,
that night and scored his all
time high for one game, Ga, in
an aN-star game. His one-hand-
ed jump shot is his best, al
though he can make them all.
Baseball Is Bread and Butter.
Groat is a little hesitant when
asked if he prefers baseball or
basketball.
Basketball is my first love.
I seem to, have more confidence
in myself" he says. However,
baseball is my bread and butter.
I believe I have a better future
in it."
Groat, the youngest of five
children lis single. He and his
parents live at Swissvale, Pa,
about 5 miles from Forbes Field,
home of the Pirates. His father
is in the real estate and insur-
ance business.
For the next few weeks, Groat
plans to commute by auto from
his home to play here with the
Sklar'S team on week ends. He'll
wind 1t up with a March of Dimes
benefit game February 81 against
the Philadelphia Warriors. He
plans to fly from Pittsburgh to
Fort Myers, Fla, the Pirates
training base, at the end Of the
month.
Groat, who holds a B. A. de-
gree in history from Duke, at
one time thought he would like
to teach when his baseball ca
reer was over. He has since
given serious consideration to
entering radio and TV as a sports
announcer, particularly on bas-
ketball games.
But for the present and for
quite a few years in the future,
Groat is more likely to be doing
bang-up job for the Pirates.
