AND GARLAND IRRIGATION ERA.
Cody, Wyoming, Friday, April 28, 1911
BILLY MORSE WINS FAST
CONTEST IN THE ELEVENTH
St Paul Kid Plainly Outclassed by
Thompson but Morse Gets De
cision by a Foul
In the eleventh round of a sched
uled 20-round contest at the Cody op
era house last night, Billy Morse was
given the decision over Maurice
Thompson on a claimed foul.
Ten rounds had been fought, when
In th£ first minute of the eleventh,
Thompson swung a vicious left to the
St. Paul Kid's jaw which staggered
him. Thompson hung another on
the jaw, and as the Kid, dazed, leaned
forward and toward Thompson, tne
latter smashed him again. Then it
was that the St. Paul Kid fell to the
mat In apparently excruciating pain.
The referee, Starkey, the seconds and
others rushed to the fallen man’s side.
He begged for a doctor, and Dr. Ben
nett, who was present, sprang into
the roped arena and made a casual ex
amination.
The excitement ran high. Every
body was talking. Everybody bad a
decision they wished enforced. In
the meantime, the Kid bad been car
ried to bis dressing room, where Dr.
Bennett found a slight discoloration
in the groin.
Beferee Starkey then gave the de
cision to Morse on a claimed foul.
Like all decisions, it 'pleased some,
while others were just as sure, and
bitterly so, that It should have beeo
given to Thompson.
The light seemed to b« Thompson's
from the first, grading the men on the
actual points made. While at the
beginning, Thompson would ruib the
fight for a moment, there was a cer
tain fascination In Thompson’s grim
aggressiveness. There was do let up
t« the vicious upper cuts and short
arm jabs of Thompson. He simply
worked the Kid’s cover loose. There
seemed to be no other aim on the part
of Thompson but to jar the St. Paul
man’s confidence In his particular
style of defense, and he certainly suc
ceeded.
The preliminary between Boy Cou
gill and Doc Flynn was short but
snappy. Says Doc to Boy: "Hit me
In the stomach, will you?—Biff! and a
wallop landed that made Cougill see
things. The declsioo went to Flynn,
Rodney Hey refereeing.
In tbe ringside seats, were observed
Sen. J. M. Schwoob, Hon. D. E. Hol
lister, Hon. Thos. Long, Go*. G. T.
Beck, W. L. Simpson, Mayor Deegon,
and Atty. Walls. “ ’

which always bring him cordial
welcome in the forensic arena.
His address was followed by a solo
by Miss Itose, and then H. H. Welch
gave a brief history of the order.
The evening was then social con
verse and the playing of whist.
W. B. SLEEPER IMPROVING.
The family of W. B. Sleeper has
received a telegram in which Mr.
Sleeper states he Is Improving, and
will probably remain in Omaha for a
week or ten days longer. Mr. Sleeper's
illness was noted last week hy The
Herald.
Watch for the coupons.
HERALD TO INAUGURATE PIANO CONTEST
/ The Herald announces that in the near future it will inaugur'
ate the largest piano contest that has over been given in Wyoming.
T\\ O lino Healy & Taylor upright pianos valued at $350.00
each, will bo given to the two young women or girls who receive
the largest number of votes.
Never before has a paper in Wyoming offered TWO such
gifts in ono contest, Other special features will be incorporated
in this contest which will make it entirely different from all other
contests. Several of Cody’s leading mercantile houses will bo as
sociated with The Herald, and it is suggested that from today on
the young women and girls and their friends should watch for the
coupons in The Herald. Just a few coupons oxtra might win a
piano. Rules, etc., will be made known later.
BASEBALL SEASON TO OPEN
SOON AND FANS ARE EAGER
Local Enthusiasts Turn to and Put
Diamond in Shape for Opening
of the Season
Play Ball!
Last week witnessed an activity
upon the hall grounds by local fans
and the members of the club which
argues well for the best possible con
dition of tb4 diamond and the gener
al success of’the local team.-
Teams contributed by Gov. Beck.
Tex Holm and Charles Prante were
used to draw the big grader, which
was piloted by Charley Bradford.
Henry Goodreau, Glen Borron and
Ben Brown directed the work, and
amidst much enthusiasm the dirt
flew aod the rough places disappeared.
The water pipes were laid this week
and water run over the ground, tbe
roller adding the finishing touches.
The grounds will be made attractive
to ladies in autos by an auto screen,
and part of the material for this was
donated by Harry Robertson, manag
er of the Wallop-Moncrieft Co., deal
ers in lumber.
Harry Patten, the surveyor, a lover
of the game, also gave his profession
al services gratis.
Cody people are sure “there.”
The Gallatin Valley league locks
like the best baseball proposition that
has been broached In Montana for
some time. With a compact circuit
of six busy towns, and experienced
hustling managers in each place, it
will be a gd right from the jump, and
will probably be a greater success than
even those now behind the league
anticipate. Billings. Livingston,
Miles City. Hoieman, Codv and Sheri
dan are all prosperous and want base
ball. They have had independent
teams in tbe cities mentioned, and
year in and year out It has cost them
considerable money to support their
town team.
Under organized ball all will be dif
ferent, as the national association
grants protection to the club owners,
gives them exclusive use of their
players, and keeps other clubs from
tampering with them. In a profes
sional league the players are compell
ed to obey the managers and the fans
take more interest in the games, as
they know they are getting better
baseball and are getting a run for
their money IB every contest, which
will be handled by competent umpires
r who will control the players and keep
them playing ball Instead of arguing
on the ball field. With a salary limit

[PUBLISHED AT THE COUNTY SEAT OF PARK COUNTY]
ABSURD ATTACK UPON MAN
HONORED BY THE PEOPLE
New Tax Commissioner Airs His Opinions
Concerning Statesmen in General and
- One in Particular
Strange Jls it may seem, there is a
new tax commissioner abroad in the
land, one who, of course, owes his of
ficial existence to Joseph M. Carey.
Being thus indebted, the new t. c.
is not unmindful of his obligations
and allegiance. Not he.
His name Is McGill. He is a pro
mulgator who promulgates. His spe
cialty is promulgating statesmen. He
has all sorts: fits aod misfits, (that is
in statesmen) which he constantly
carries around with him and exhibits.
Mr. McGill reached Cody Saturday
evening, put up at the Irma, fed well,
and after supper, under the stimulat
ing influence of tbe splendid menu of
mine host Decker, our honorable tax
commissioner procedeed to enlighten
the awe-stricken bystanders in regard
to a few things of which they wotted
not, concerning statesmen—tbe Mc-
Gill brand especially.
The aforesaid t. c. placed on ex
hibition his sample line of statesmen
and held them up to the public's ad
miring)?) gaze.
This t. c. Is authority on the states
man genus—why should he not be?
Was not the t. c. created officially by
a statesman?
Are not things equal to each other
equal to the same thing? Wherein
does the t. c. differ from his political
progenitor, Judge Carey? Well, that
is another phase of statesmanship
which will be reached later.
After the t. c. had pulled out of his
sample case of statesmen his full line,
he then swept on to an eloquent ex
patiation of their qualities separately
and individually.
“Why," said the t. c„ “there is Sen
ator Warren. Ido not by any man
ner of means call him a statesman.
He had an opportunity to nominate
Carey and did not do it. If he had, we
would not have had all this friction
of *1,200 a month, which includes cap
tain, manager, and all tbe players,
the league is bound to make money,
and with a forfeit of *SOO from each
team, the salary limit and all other
rules will be strictly lived up to by
the club owners, which makes the
games a success, financially and from
a playing standpoint.
! isting circumstances. The man had
, been drinking heavily all day Wed
nesday, and this served to complicate
matters.
Mayor Deegan became personally
interested in the case Thursday morn
ing and such aid as essential to proper
care was extended.
Dr. Howe, the county physician, has
charge of Alcott. He says the injured
Ilian is temporarily paralyzed, butlooks
for his early ami complete recovery.
The latter has been placed in the
| home of Mrs. Neff.
Cody Women Organize
Public Welfare Society
A number of ladies met Tuesday in
the library and brought into existence
an organization to be knotvn as tho
Public Service Club. Tho object of
the Club, the .founders assert is to be
the welfare of the state, county and
town.
They Invite the co-operation of
women of the country and town.
The officers chosen are Dr. Lane,
chairman, Mrs. F. A. Ingraham, vice
president, Mrs. Minnie Williams,
secretary, Mrs. W. L. Simpson, trea
sure.
The time for regular sessions will
be the first and third Tuesdays In each
month.
Price $1.50 Per Year
in the party. But Warren was not
big enough.”
Oh! So Carey would not have rocked
the boat if Senator Warren had play
ed petty politics a la Carey!
Delicious, isn't it, to have a man,
drawing a state salary as tax commis
sioner, gallivanting over the state in
structing the voters as to politics and
what constitutes statesmanship? In
other words, how to build a Carey ma
chine.
In the silence which followed bis
attack upon Senator Warren, and
which the,t. c evidently mistook for
approval of his sentiments, his fingers
lingered lovingly and fondly upon his
samples, and he paused with states*
manlike pause and pose.
“Now what,” he continued, “has
this man Warren ever done for Wyo
ming?”
Those present were dumb. Such a
profound question must needs be an
swered with caution and circumspec
tion, for had not the prophet of Carey
spoken? And was not the t. c. the
son of a prophet? "For lam Sir Or
acle, and when I ope my lips let no
dog bark.”
Sir Oracle McGill tells of one who
comes after him—Judge Carey, who
bellfeves in the policy of building upon
the attempted ruin of other men
whom he finds in the way of his polit
ical ambitions.
Carey should have chosen a smooth
er man for the architect of his ma
chine.
He, the governor who detests ma
chines, and would have none of them
last fall because he was not selected,
so his tax commissioner says, as an as
sistant engineer, is now proceeding to
construct a machine of hi 9 own.
The first step is to attempt the
same campaign of character assassina
tion successfully conducted last fall.
Tax Commissioner McGill's fool at
tack upon Senator Warren is part ot
the game, and also serves also to give
the game completely away.
McGill says that the man upon
whom the eyes of the nation are now
resting in the great tariff fight, the
man whom presidents, the beloved
McKinley, the stalwart Roosevelt,
the tactful, splendid Taft, have called
to the White House when matters of
great moment came up, tbe man from
whom they sought counsel and judg
ment, McGill says that this one of the
foremost citizens' not only of Wyo
ming but of the United States, is no
statesman.
Whom will the people of Wyoming
believe to possess the better judg
ment—William McKinley, Theodore
Roosevelt, William 11. Taft and the
United States senate which has made
Warren its leader In fact, or ? we
humbly beg the pardon of the readers
ofThe Herald—they are an intelligent
constituency.
Gordon Ponaltl, of the firm of llol
lowell, Jones & Donald, of Boston, ono
of the big wool buyers of the world,
