WELCOME TO BOYS
OF THE BALL TEAM
I)EENPIT 'BALL AT COLUMBIA GAR
DENS 48 ONE OF THE THINGS
OEING PLANNED NOW.
BUTTE IS NOT GROWN BLASE
NVinning of Pennant Two Years Straight
S.le Not 'Made the Local Baseball
Fans Unappreciative.
When the Butte baseball team comes
home, it is planned to have a little de
monstration in its honor. Some of the en
thusiastie fans art preparing a more sub
stantial way of showing their apprecia
tion of the gallant wielders of the willow.
One of the things talked about lately is
a benefit ball at Columbia Gardens. The
money secured in 'this way is to go to the
players themselves.
Town Appreciates Team.
it has been said that Butte doesn't ap
preciate the efforts of the ball team In
winning the pennant two consecutive
years, but this is not true. The town does
appreciate it and is willing to show it, by
burning red lights if necessary, or still
better by giving them a benefit.
Seattle would have been tickled to death
to win the pennant and Spokane would
have figuratively thrown a handspring if
the blue banner could have been taken
home.
The fact that Butte has won the pen
nant twice hasn't made the fans so blase
that they take it as a matter of course. It
is just as great an achievement this year
as it was last, and considering many,
things, it is just a little bit more so.
Setter Ball Played.
Better ball was played this year than
last, the rivalry among the clubs was
keener and, taken altogether, it was a
strenuous, nerve destroying year. Now that
it is all over but the shouting the fans
can look back and see where the team
worked faithfully and hard.
As an example of the fact that the Pa
cific National league played better ball
than did the Western league, one has but
to look at the records of the pitchers taken
from leagues at the close of their season.
*NecNeely and Newmeyer, the star twirlers
with which Salt Lake was to have wiped up
the dusty diamond with the Butte aggrega
tion were batted out of the box with
sickening regularity.
Recruit Walloped.
On our side, Pitcher Martin who came
from the effete East, was walloped unmerci
fully when he went up against the batters
of the Pacific National league. Pitcher
Mlartin has pitched three times for Butte
and has lost every time.
Yet these men were considered good in
their league. They pitched winning ball
all summer and when they came out this
way and got bumped good and hard, they
began to understand that they were playing
in fast company.

"Have the accursed Christians gone to
the lions?" asked Nero, as he rolled a
fresh cigarette.
"Yes, mighty Caesar," said the cen
turion, "and still the populace craves more
blood."
"Have the human torches been lit?"
"Everyone," your majesty, but it is not
enough to silence the rabble."
"'Sdeath I" hissed Nero. "I will yet give
them game. Take 2a picked gladiators to
toe north end of the arena and start a
football game. Then drive a herd of
Christians into the ring in the south end
and turn loose the 'Red Devil' in their
midst."
Inhaling a large puff of the fragrant
Turkish tobacco, Nero again picked up his
fiddle and began where he had left off on
"Hiawatha."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Spokane is certainly making a Garrison fAn
ish. Another defeat for Dugdale's men yes*
terday.
Butte didn't play at Salt Lake yesterday.
The game scheduled for that day was played
Monday.
"Mysterious Billy' Smith, erstwhile prise.
fighter, has deserted the ring for the Salvation
Army. The other day in Denver he sat on
the platform with General Booth-Tucker and
two score Salvation Army celebrities. "Myste
rious Billy" was a good man before he quit
the two-ounce gloves for the hundred horse
power banjo. A considerable number of other
good men have found by experience how hard
he could hit. Terry McGovern is the most
illustrious of these. Tommy Warren, the Tip.
ton slasher, and Dave Callahan are others.
"The Mystery" told the story of these en
counters to the audience. In the audience was
a sprinkling of sports. They were friendly,
but not altogether friendly, either, to the re*
formed pugilist. When the latter told of his
meeting McGovern a raneous voice from the
front of the house interrupted him to say:
"Yes, an' Terry knocked your block off,
too."
Which Is probably history, but was unkind.
Mr. Smith spoke for ao minuites. "I was
always a terror," he said. "I began when I
was a baby and never turned down a fight."
Then he told the diverting story of a match
in New Jersey. "It was a finish fight on the
turf, and the guy's friends had it fixed to win
if he lost. But me and my friends was fixed.
There was guns pulled and--nothing doing."
It appears that this estimable Jerseyman sub.
sequently poured kerosene over his wife and
set fire to her, fur which trifling offense, "The
Mystery" explained, lie is actually ont trial for
his life now.
"And I might have been with him," the
speaker admitted, "but I broke away from
Satan. I was passing a Salvation .Army camp
with my wife and she asks. me to go in.
" 'Not for mine,' says 1. 'Why, those blokes
are out for graft. I wouldn't get up and talk
like that for a thousand a night."
Al Neill, who has been out of the game a
spell will shy his caster in the ring again this
month. This time lie will try to reverse the

tion of Ahertn's maiden effort abroad follows:
"When the pair got together it was seen
that White had a great advantage in height and
reach over his extremely good looking. well
built and younger opponent. The Cardiff mian
had all the best of the opening rounds, but in
the fourth Clancy avoided \\hitr's heavy
swings cleverly, and timing his blows with
great judgment lie had easily the best of the
meeting. After this White clinched a great
deal, but in the seventh round he got honme
heavily on the face, and the Americasn showed
signs of much punishment. lie maintained,
nevertheless, the hustling tactics lie had
shown throughout, and White was gradually
worn down. In the twelfth round Clancy got

yesterday, when a telegram agreeing to
conditions was received by McClelland's
manager from the lHanlon people.
The battle between McClelland and

an Ejiglish publication, which mentioned the
match between Jabez White and the local htl.
In speaking of Britt the sporting writer said:
"I saw Ilritt's letter and the portrait accom

me the impressuon that the writer is an educa

he is a most gentlemanly young fellow. ith.

in his ability to give Ilritt the bottle of his
life. Thl'le maltagetent expects tihe bout to

Willie Inritt and hilly Rolhe came to terms
quickly. Itoth matnagers have had a wide

Oranges Too IForeign.
It is a long stride in learning when we
become convinced that oranges cannot be
multiplied by apples nor weeks by houses.
The London Outlook quotes one whose
tree of knowledge had not grown so high.
The new teacher had put this proposi
tion :
"John had five oranges, James gave him
Ir, and he gave Peter seven. How many
did he have left?"
Before this problem the class recoiled,
but only one lad had presence of mind
enough to tell the reason:
"Please, sir," said he, "we always do ovr
sum in apples."--Milwaukee Sentinel, .

QUARANTINE RHEUMATICS
Disease is Pronounced Highly Con
tagious by German Physician.
This question may appear bizarre, but at
the same time there are cases in which it
may well be asked. A German physician
is convinced to such a degree of the con
tagiousness of this disease that lhe has de
manded and has obtained at Leipsic the
creation of a special isolation for rheu
matics, in order to prevent their spreading
the disease. Leaving aside the numerous
cases where two or more persons have been
afflicted with rheumatism at the same time
in the same house, and where we may
clearly be permitted to believe that the ill
ness of all of the persons has had a cotn
mon origin, we find some examples which
may lead us to admit the possibility of con
tagion. We see, for example, children at
tacked with articular rheumatism a few
days after this disease has attacked the
father. Again, we have a case mentioned
by Mr. Talamon, in which a child was at
tacked by articular rheumatism, which
l:-sted eight days. A few days later the
sister of the child, but younger, who slept
in the same room, was attacked by a rheu
matic affection which killed her. We may
also see conjugal rheumatism, or rheuma
tistm which passes from one to the other
of two married people. For example, a
man perfectly healthy is taken with rheu
matism a few days after his wife suffers
a rheumatic attack, the wife being a con
firmed sufferer, and here it seems we have
a well-defined case of contagion.-Public
Opinion.
A 'Disappointed Audience.
"That was an awful case of stage
fright I had," said the amateur after the
final curtain.
"Yes," replied the critic, "the audience
was greatly disappointed."
"Yes? Did you hear any comments?"
"Oh, yes; several people remarked it
was too bad that stage fright wasn't some
times fatal."-Philadelphia Press.

RATIONAL METHODS
Of Fighting Tuberculosis Rob the "White
Plague" of Its Terrors.
There is probably no topic in which the
commlunity in general is more interested
than in the prevention and cure of pul
monary consumption.
The general fatality of the disease is
greater than any other, fully to per cent of
all deaths being attributable to it. Its
prevalence is also in due proportion.
When viewed from a matter of fact
standpoint this is bad enough, but still
there is no reason why we should not
look at the actual situation fairly and
squarely in order to meet more intelli
gently and practically the issues at stake.
Very encouraging efforts are being made
in such directions, and the common sense
basis of them as given by experts deserves
the widest possible discussion.
The grand principle aimed at is to place
the possible cure within the reach of all.
In keeping with 'such intention-the public
is being educated in the proper direction
of purely hygienic treatment. Fresh air,
sunlight and plain, nutritious food are
easily obtainable even by the compara
tively poor man.
It is high time that the Individual as
such should have a show and the over
dreaded bacillus come in on a second-class
ticket. Since the useless scare concerning
the universal danger of infection by this
veritably omnipresent microbe too little at
tention has been paid to the more funda
mental doctrines of prevention and cure.
It is a good sign of the times that broad
and rational methods of dealing with the

care about the business and more rational
and better directed aims. The main ques

crobe or the patient? We confess that our
sympathies are always with the latter.
Fresh air, sunlight, good food and plenty

real terrors,-New York Herald.

"The tunknown little girl of liutte of a
few years ag0lyo," saly tile L'ost, "is tda;y
tilhe mot widely discussed author of the
timl. Shle mounteld the ladder of fame
with the rush of a cyclonl,' il and has held
her plosition. She is still a girl in years
-if .J is not Ioo old to i.e classed within
tile I,,nds of girls."

estimate about 35,000 too high.

When sihe arrived in Denver she asked
her traveling companion, Mrs. C. M.
llransonl, if she should register fromn Butte
or lioston.
"Why, Boston, dear," replied the old
lady.
And with a stroke of the pen the mines
and smelters of Butte were deserted for
cultured ltoston.
