The Club's Jon o y. he predictions of The Gazette that he Billings baseball club would take two games out of the three games with Helena has come to pass. The local team accompanied by about a score of rooters and backers departed on the early Saturday morning train for the state capital, where they proceeded to teach the boys of that place how to play the national game as well as to bet. The Helenaites were not of that peace able mind which usually occupied a place in their craniums and on Sator day they held to their wads with a death grip and if any bets were made it was at great odds In favor of Billings. Our boys played the game of their lives and bested their opponents. The Helena Independent. of Sunday morning says of Saturday's game: Nine nimble and capable cowboys whose present post office address is Bill ings came to town Saturday morning and roped the home players in good style in a ball game. Briefly stated, they outplayed the homers at every point, though not to the extent indicat ed by the score, which was 14 to 6. The game opened auspiciously for the Helenas. They made two runs in the first on an error by Rose and three hits in succession. The side was retired by a neat double by Rose, who gathered MoDonough's grounder, touohed Ryan and threw to first in time to catch the batter. Billings drew a blank in the first, Casey got .a hit but was forced at second a minute later. Scott had pre Sviously hit anu easy one to Burton and Marshall fanned. It looked like an , even thing. But after the cheerful first, the homers could do nothing much with MeNeeley's benaers. Though they got a total of fifteen hits they were scatter ed that not more than one run resulted in any one inning. The second, third, fifth and sixth innings were sad and gloomy occasions, the total result being four goose eggs. Billings broke the ice in the second, getting one cake of it, and they never failed to take at least one when they came up with the willow, sometimes getting several more than one. In the fifth they landed on the sphere for so many hits in a row that the grandstand lost counot and runs came around in bunches, In the seventh they came I- near repeating the performance, getting ' three, one of them a beautiful drive far over center fence for four bases, a pair of shoes, and several pieces of silver. I Zearfross was behind the willow which connected with the ball in such violent fashion. McDonough and Scott lined out triples during the afternoon. Bar ring the sensational home run by Zear Sfross, Flannery was the bright partiou lar star of the day with the wagon tongue, for out of five times up he got five hits, two of them being doubles. There were probably 800 spectators in the grand stand. 0...... tie4..~4....e moowe uy IunPngu; Helena .... " 9 0 1 0 0 1 11-6- 6 Billings. .... 0 121 4 2 8 1 *-14 Earned rane-Billings, 7; Helena, 2.

I lage was unable to equal its opponents, s The telegaplio report of the soroe, S0 t to 1, ,o iauday evening, tended to I Impress the Ians with an idea that I esomething had gonu wrog with our I bo7s, but the Oeport brous t by wit. aeases of the gaUI have dlqelled the I idea and the anJIa ae one moe fOelnlg good, god d an w s eaoe y d4iealItaeble oge, Th wind blew at a oatl ete ad Ulie olead of duet, 1 while gto oa ohowa li all iii btll' lIaq, The lei of thie ole l diamoed ( Ieo b tiat the sn blids the aee of r the &Sal and the vioeteo ar at a Sd nitagel while ti wrls I aian am to it nolw so lan I bo sNeInth `u or$lia a the start off, but he was not given de. cent support. In the first inning Hel ena had one score with two men out and two men on bases, when Freeman muffed a fly in right permitting the runners and batter to score. In this same inning two more scores were made, one by safe bitting and the other on a home run. In the second inning two runs were made, Harker having two strike-outs to his credit. He was then replaced by Sporer, who only stayed in one lnnug and a half. He allowed the Helenaites five scores, al. though he had three strike.outs on them. Marshall, the third baseman, was then placed in the box. From then oil it was a slugging match. The boys could not ginger up a little. Marshall had eight strike-outs in his five innings. He had great speed and the Helena boys said that they would just as soon be bit by a cannon ball asq by a baUil thrown by Marabull. Home ruas were plentiful in the game. Helena made four and Billings three, Flanuery, Marshall and Me.o Neeley having the credit for opr club. It is thought by those who witnessed the game that had Harker been given a fair show by keeping him in the box the game would have been much differentwith a possibility of Billings wvinning out. Roy Evans, who accompanied the team, returning homne yesterday, says that Injustice bas been done the boys by the report that they were out on a carouse Saturday night. He says the boys conducted themselves very gentle manly and they lost Sunday's game be cause they were out of luck. THE THIRD AND) LAST GAME. lnllings Plays alu N udl Dfeate letena. The third and last game with Helena was played yesterday afternoon. Mo Neely was again in the box for Billings and as in the first game he proved too mnuch for the Helenaites. It was a hard fought battle as each club had one game to its credit and the last one was to decide the championship. The Billings boys were determined to win it if good ball playing could do so. The reports of the game which reachbed Billings last night were meagre, but it must have been a splendid exhibition in which our boys again carried off the honors, the score being 12 to 9. The Gazette received a telegram last night from the editor, who accompanied the team to Helena, in which he stated that our boys out-played Helena at every point. The passenger train which is to brAng tbe rooters home is about eight hours late and will not arrive here until' about 4 o'oclock this afternoon. The ball club will continue its weste ern tour, having left Helena today for Pocatello. They will play one game there tomorrow with the strong est team in the west. Then they go to Ogden and Salt Lake for three games each, returning to Butte for a series with the Boston & Montana's, and playing two more games at Pocatello on the way. The club will arrive home in time for four games during the fair week with Helena and Butte. * * * One of the great games of the season was played at Butte Sunday between the Pocatello and the Boston and Mon tana clubs. The score was 2 to I in favor of the former. It was a pitcher's battle, but seven safe hits being made during the game, three off the Butte pitcher, and four off the visitors. The errors were six on each side. Pocatello made one score in each the third and sixth innings, while the Boston & Mon tana's scored in the sixth. Accounts of each day's game on the trip will be bulletined the evening of each day at The Gazette office and R. E. Nix's Sideboard saloon. Ienume Mihe Lost Flanntery, Who Has Joined the Hilings Teem. (T Butte fans are disappointed-not c-love--iu baseball and all because Flannery, their former crack center elder, has seen fit to accept the offer if the Billings management to become member of our team. The smoky ity oontingent is green-eyed to a great :tent, Judging from the following rom last Friday's Standard: And now Billings has gone and dope t and taken from us our Flannery, Pleauery the only 1 Flannery the aighty ball player; Flannery the man vith the strong arm. It's real mean. When Butte imports a Iman from St. aul, or Omaha, or San Franuisoo, or seowhere to play ball in Baute it is all bight for illinage to take bim away i en off oer him more induaoemoent Inl to take Flannery isn't right, and fillings ii no geledoman, or ifteen yea there has soaroely smn a ball game ln Bitte in wihob Flanerpy has (not pa.iolpahed, Be me bora and brought up bher, he was ta als oa even years n th Are depart. eat and until last M he was obiet f the departmsnt. And now to thihl hat Planuer bas gone and donned abe anlform of an enemy and will soon be roe playing agatia bhis own town and ils own old aaooelateli It's vile of l1llg to do soab a thig. Plenery left sutes Sday eveninI after thgbeam with Melea n elvn - in Billings Monday morning. He will play center field for the cowboys. It is understood that he is guaranteed all expenses, $100 per month and $95 extra for every game won in whiob be plays. Billings has also secured Charlie Reilly of Kansas City to play short. Rose has been elected captain of the team, which will line up as follows: Zearfross, catcher; MoNeeley, pitcher and flrst base; Harker, pitcher and first base; Sporer, pitcher; Rose, seoond bdse; Marshall, third base; Reilly, shortstop: Scott, left field; Flannerpy center held; Freeman, right field, The team will leave for Helena today and then will visit Butte, Pocatello, Ogden, Salt Lake and Spokane. Three games will be played in Helena, The Pocatellos have sent word that they will arrive in Butte to play gamnes on Saturday and Sunday. They are a very fast ball club and likely to prove all that Butte can handle. HUTTE WVILL RAISE $30,000 To Bring thie Montana HoyM Home from Man Franelano. At a meeting of the citizens of Butte last Thursday night it was decided to emulate the exoample of several other states in raising money to pay for a special train to bring the soldier boy. home from San Francisco. In this in. stance Butte intends to do the thing, the whole thing and nothing but the whole'thing all by itself and since it has started the ball to rolling there Is no saying it will not accomplish its purpose. Butte intends to raise $80,. 000 among its own citizeolns, which in to be used ini bringing the gallant. Mon tann boys to that city in a special train and then giving them a rousing reoep tion. The list war started by a sub scription of $2,500 from W. A. Clark and $1,000 from Charles W. Clark. A handsome sterling silver badge will be given to each of the soldiers, and in places where the ranks are va cant the badge will be turned over to the family of the missing man. The state legislature will be asked to make the appropration, so that the gift will be from the state, but pending this ac tion Chbarles W. Clark will pay for them and take hif chances with tile legislature. Charlers W. Olark's offer was accept. ed and a handsome solid silver badge with a bronze crossbar was selected. The badges at factory price will cost $8 apiece, and Lieut Calkins was anthot ized to order 1,085 of them through J. H. Leynon, who represents the manu feotarer, Gorbham Manufacturing com pany, of Providence, Rhode Island. The badge will consist of a silver disn about the size of a dollar, suspended from a bronze crossbar with a red white and blue ribbon. On the face of the diaseis a picture of Liberty orown. Ing a soldier with a laurel wreath and the words: ` 'First to re nond to their country's call. Philippi p, 1899." On the reverse side is a picture of Peace represented v the son rising over mountain peak C'd casting so ra diance into a valley. the right is a stream of water. At th foot appears a plow and a spade, a the words, "Ora Plata,." Surrounding a picture are the words, "First Monta I U. S. Volunteers, Mecond division, 'ighth Army Corps." The orosabar is nurmounted by eagle and a fag, and on the side ac crossed qannons. Aeroas the face ap pears the words, "First Montana U. S. Volunteers." All cities will be 'invited to send committees to Butte to the reception' and accompany their own soldiers to their homes. The Montana regiment will reach San Francisclo about Sept. 17 and will be mustered out two or three weeks later. Linton Clot ing Co.

The state board of equaliration will probably grant hearing to cattle and sheepmen relative to the rate the board has made for cattle and sheep, in the hope of testing the matter of the board'a, authority to increase or decrease assaes ments despite the supreme court's famous decision. The board finds that there is lack of uniformity in the amount of the levy made by the Oounty boards for stock indemnity purposes.
