Cody Champions Win By Call
Worland Lambs, However, Play to Close Score --- Ideal
Weather and Good Attendance
The Worland Lambs, otherwise i
known ns the Worland base hall team,
lost their wool to the Cody Sheep i
Shearers last Suuday by a score ot 5 j
to 6.
The day was one of those perfect j
Bie Horn Basin dajs-perfect as to j
sky and with jhst enough heat to stlt
the blood to actlcn.
In the crowded grand stand the
bright, gaily trimmed hats of the
women, of whom there were as many
as the male gender, brightened the
vision like a glimpse of nine gorgeous
flower garden.
Tom Mulcrone of the Lamb*, known
to the Fans as "Grade,” got what was
coming to him from the bleachers.
“Grade” took it all In good part how
ever. *
In the first inning the Lambs
bad It all their own way. practically,
and the heart* of the Codyites were as
lead. In the second Wallace warmed
up and pitched the Sheep Shearers out
of a had hole, aud the spirits of the
home folk rose correspondingly.
Coming to the third Inning the
Sheep Shearers tightened tlielr belts
ami woo two bases from Starkey, the ;
I umpire on balks, and at the end of the
Ifir-tbalf were neca and neck with
I the Lambs. The belts of the Sheep
I Shearers broke when wizard Platt
' mulled a ball by his knee getting in
the way and the Lambs finished with
a lead of two.
In this Inning Evans made a spec
tacular two-bagger that set the grand
stand wild. but Evans and Cease
died on bases- It was In this Inning
that “Grade" ripped her bustle off
when she slid teo feet on her back
safely to Bret, aud Jack Friend grab
bed a bard driven fly by Gardener and
thus prevented a score by tbe Lamb*.
Jack Friend opened tbe fourth with
great eclat by sending bis ball to Mte
teetse, reaching second, when Wizard
Pfatl deposited another ball in Angus
HclKinald’s bank in Meeleetse, there
by bringing Friend rafely home. Now
came that Adonis of the Diamond,
Wallace, who batted one which pulled
tbe Sheep Herder’s men on basses a
knoich further up and which permit
ted tbe Frog-Eater Henry Goodreau
to make a tun like Jersey lightning.
The lambs were clipped in this inning
till tbe blood ran.
The fifth started with Howell get
ting struck la tbe ankle and reaching
first, while Woudmanse drilled a
bole In tbe water reservoir on tbe
hill, and this was followed by a ball
from tbe bat of Sterling that knocked
a sun-dog from the sky. But the
Sheep Shearers kept tbe Lambs well
herded and In spite of the good bat
ting Woodmanse, In bis red kirnooa.
and together with Moore died on
bases and Carl Ffaff officiated as un
dertakar.
Evans led off In tbe sixth, followed
by Burton, but tbe Sbeepberders fad
ed away before the determined gambo
ling of the Lamb*. Then little “Gra
de” came out she was notable to star I
the hot ones of Wallace. Cowell
caught a ball from tbe bat of Sterling
that made his hands smoke, still he
held on.
Then Woodmanse and bis red klm
ona drove a grounder straight to Wiz
ard Pfaff which made that young
mm's hair curl. Did Pfaff get it ask
the bleachers.
In this Inning Starkey, who had
been very well behaved, so much so
that people forgot there was an um
pire, made a decision that started an
Incipient riot. But Starkey, old chap,
got off with It line and the game rolled
on and waxed hotter than ever.
Pfaff did some floe work In the sev
enth, catching a vicious drive from
Moure and killing Woodmanse and
his red kirnona at second.
In this Inning Vann, of the Lambs
went to the pitcher's box with Chase
at bat, who drove the ball three feet
in the sod. While It was being dug
out Evans and Burton were put out
by the latter's error and this lost the
*coru that was all but In the grasp of
the Sheep Shearers.
Wallace In tbe first of the eighth
fanned out both Oracle and Johnson
and tbe Sheep Shearers soon came to
the bat with our own Cowell batting
a ball like the proverbial bat depart
ing from a certain hot climate.
This ball was caught by the first
baseman right in his bread basket
and it remained there. Then Wallace
fanned out and Stanley scraped the
star dust from the Ymilky way” with
a ball which the outfielder caught,
leaving the score now 5 to 6 in favor
of the Lambs.
The ninth and crucial Inning Ster
ling gave the Sheep Shearers an op
portunity to show the stuff they were
made of when the Frog-Eater (Good,
resu) sailed gracefully Into the air,
and as the high ball of Sterling swept
through the belt of Orion knocked the
handle off of the Big Dipper. Goodreau
caught it, add as he again approached
terra flrma amidst the wild cheers of
tbe bleachers Sterling passed la bis
checks.
Then the Lambs got very savage
and Gardner seut a ball to Fenton,
breaking tbe glass In the windows of
Thayer’s store. Gardner made third,
on error, while Howell fanned out.
Woodmanse, with his red kirnona
living in the wind like a danger sig
nal, made one last effort to pull his
club out of tbe bole, but the game
ended with a rush for tbe Sheep Shear
ers and victory was theirs with ail of
the wool of the Lambs in their wool
sacks. The score stood «to sin favor
of the Sheep Shearers.
Sunday night and Mouday Worland
was anxious to play back for >2OO and
when the money was put up “sort .o’
backed down.”

WARNING TO WATER USERS.
Water users are requested to scan
the legal page of The Herald today
where they will find a notice forbid
ding the flow of water over county
roads.
This practice of neglect on the part
of irrigators Is going to get some
one Into trouble. Many of the high
ways are almost impassable in some
places by reason of the water. It
Is a source not only of damage but
of great inconvenience to those who
have to travel over the roads. Legal
prosecution will follow further viola
tions. A little effort on the part of
ranchers whose property abuts on
roads will put sn end to the 11-:w of
water as stated.

Wash ington Warbles
Senator Warren Keeps in Touch With Wyoming Citi
zens— Oar New Battleship, the “Wyoming ”
WASHINGTON, May 25. Some
idea of the new battleship, Wyoming,
launched from the Cramp ahipyard
at Philadelphia today, may be gained
when it is known that its length la
-.most equal to two ordinary clt>
blocks, and Its width more than
twice that of (he ordinary street.
Afloat, the hull of steel will sink
to a depth about equal to a two
story building, with that much more
of the hull above the water line. In
one comparatively Bmall portion of
the hull will be bunkers capable of
bolding over fifty carloads of coal —
equal to an entire train load.
The main armament will consist ot
twelve 12-lnch breech-loading gun ,
mounted in six heavy armored tur
rets. For defense against torpedo
boat attacks there will be a battery
of 21 6-lnch raplld fire guns. There
will also be two submerged torpedo
tubes and 14 additional small guns.
The total weight of the projectiles
capable of being discharged at one
broadside from this mighty agent of
war will approximate 11,000 pounds.
The vessel will carry 1,086 men and
86 officers.
The Wyoming and her sister ship
contain certain distinctive character
istics which entitle them to be con
sidered as a national type. The
grouping of the gun turrets hi pairs
coupled with their location on Uie
long'.! udtnal axis, secures the valu
able advantages that the whole bat
iei-y mir be concentrated in broad
side .fire, the previous manner ot
mounting necessarily shutting off one
half of the guns in broadside fire.
The Wyoming’s twelve GO-callber
guns are of the very latest pattern.
Tills fine weapon will hurl an 867-
pound projectile a distance ot almost
12 miles and then penetrate the very
heaviest armor {.late made.
1 »j great steel hull is p-oiectel
by a belt of modern armor 11 Inches
in thickness, whli h also covers all
magazines and turrets. Below the
water line and at the extreme ends
this protection diminishes to five
Inches. The hull w'il also be protect
ed below the water line by numerous
longitudinal bulkheads.
The Wyoming is to be driven by
turbine engines at a speed of 20 1-2
AND QARLANU IRRIGATION ERA.
JOE’S (iOODJ LUCK
The old bird that makes fur homes
asked Dr. Bennett where a fine baby
boy would be most acceptable and the
doctor wnispered the name of Joe
Goodykuntz In the ear of O. B. and
that's why Joe is now smiling so
broadly. The mother and tbe little
fellow are coming on nicely.
PROMINENT VISITORS.
Sheriff Bachelior of Red Lodge ac
companied by W. C. lUe County Clerk
drove In last Sunday byway of Ther
mopotis in an auto reaebing Cody
about 7 o'clock in tbe evening. They
dined at the Irma in company with
Mayor Deegao, Adam Hogg and
several others. Tbe Montana visitors
departed early Mouday.
GOMIMB^STANLEY 7 CANNON
Wrestling Match Jane 2nd
Rattling Good Bout Expected
Lovers of a good wrestling match
are eagerly looking forward to the
match between Stanley and Cannon
next Friday night.
Cannon, it will be recalled, threw
Loomis at Powell last week, and no*
the sports of that town think that
Cannon can “put It over” Stanley.
There is considerable money that
is ready to say and back Stanley,
that Cannon can no more throw the
Cody boy than could Loomis.
“This man Cannon," stated Stanley
to The Herald, “has been brought in
Just to ‘hang one on me.’ " He will
not be able to carry back the bacon
to his burg on the flats. More than
this, Cannon is an old-dmer at the
game. But he will not win."
Stanley seems to be in fine form
! and a rattling good bout is expected
knots. In addition to the coal she
will have 400 tons of oil stored in
her bunkers, located in her double
bottom. She will be able to travel
8,000 miles without re-couling. Her
total cost will be something ovbr -0
million dollars.
WASHINGTON, May 25.—Senator
Warren has been sending out a clr
cular letter to Wyoming constitu
ents, enclosing a long list of farmers
bulletins Issued by the government,
and offering to furnish these valu
able publications to those desiring
them. It is an economy Instituted b>
the Wyoming senator, calculated to
place this information in the hands ol
those who will profit by Its use, and
his plan will no doubt be followed
by other members who have hereto
fore distributed these publications in
discriminately.
The government’s farmers bulletin
service Ib of great value to the agri
cultural class, and Is one of the most
useful branches of the Agricultural
department Through these bulletins
the people may gain reliable Informa
tion, secured by exhaustive tests and
years of experimentation, covering al
most every phase of agriculture.
If you have not received one of the
lists, address Senator Warre.i with a
request. The bulletins are free.
May 25. The
1910 Yearbook, (sued hy the govern
ment, is about ready for dlstribut* >n
and will be one of the most complete
works of its kind. It conta'us 28
articles, 49 full page illustrations ana
31 text figures. The report of the
Secretary of Agriculture, covering
150 pages aud supplemented by a
mass of statistical matter In the ap
pendix. gives a more complete and
comprehensive summary of agricul
tural conditions in the United States
than can bo found In any other sin
gle volume. ,
Heretofore the Yearbook has been
mailed out by members without wait
ing for written requests, but this
year it will be sent only to those
writing for !t The work Is free,
and those desiring a espy should at

School Exercises a Success
Pupils Do Themselves Great Credit—Diplomas Granted
Three Well-Known Cody Young Men
The graduation exercise* of the
Cody High School Wednesdaay even
ing at the opera house met alike the
full expectation of the parents, po
trous and friends of the schools.
Three young men made the re
quired standard set by. the board of
education and Superintendent Dral c.
They were Percy C. Spencer Guy A.
I. and Dudley W. Watkins.
To these young men the president
of the board of education, H. B. Rob
ertson, presented the diplomas after
delivering a short congratulatory
address full of good advice and which
pointed out the value of theli t'fin
ing and the interest the people of
Cody had and would still have it.
them in years to come as products
of the Cody High School.
The High School orchestra render
ed some excellent music in an over
ture which was followed by an invoca
tion by Rev. J. McV. Haight, and
again by music by the orchestra.
Guy A. Lesser then gave the class
history. It was replete with witty al
lusions covering both Jjic.i youthful
foibles and virtues. He hit one mem
ber pretty hard when he referred to
a certain front gate. Young Leeser
revealed that he is a keen observer.
In the class poem from the facile
pen of Dudley W. Watkins this grad
uate disclosed that in the realms of
lyric verse he might establish a name
of considerable renown, for the
t vthm and strength of hia 'oetie ef
forts possessed the true tempera
ment.
Mrs. Fred C. Barnett gave a solo
which pleased her audience greatly
and which was rendered in her usuul
excellent manner.
Percy C. Spencer, editor of that
splendid piece of journalism, ‘The
Outlaw,” which has called forth’ so
much favorable comment, in his
valedictory address, gives promise of
being able to talk as well as he has
written. His bearing upon the plat
form was at once easy and graceful,
his delivery forceful and with that
fire which is essential to eloquence
which sways and convinces.
There should be a niche in the
world for each one of the graduates
of the Cody High School who hive
acquitted themselves so well.
The Instrumental work of Mrs.
Pool and her piano solos were also a
source of keen enjoyment.
The formal add-ess of the Rev. W.
J. Calfee was one that was full of
S. C. PARKS RETURNS FROM EAST
S. C. Parks, Jr., president of the
Shoshone National bank, has return
ed from the east where he visited
his father. Mr. Parks was seen at
his office by a representative of The
Herald and asked what was the gen
eral outlook for business in the coun
try at large.
"Mr. Parks,” queried The Herald,
"what la the opinion of bankers
whom you may have met as to the
disposition of the tariff, and partie
ularly schedule 'K' in which our Wyo
ming ftockmtisters are so deep’v in
terested?” >
"No one seems to pretend to know
just what will be done with the tariff,
but there is strong reason to believe
that there will be a substantial re
duction in the duties provided in
schedule K. However, the strong
foreign markets for wool support the
belief that as soon as the tariff re
adjustments are out of the way the
values of our wools will rise to
reasonably remunerative levels. The
wool trade in England is said to bo
very brisk, with a strong feeling of
confidence regarding tho future."
“From your observations do you
give it as your oplDloD that tbe under
lying financial and industrial condition
of the notion is such as to lend en
couragement to business men and the
people generally.”
“Yes, the recovery in business may
be but gradual and more or less ham
pered by the uncertainties of probable
and possible legislation, but the best
authorities concur In an optimistic
outlook upon tbe future.”

people from start to finish. Full of
good, homely, sound advice, it ran the
gamut of humor, pathos, sublimity
and dramatic so readily that a.teutlou
never flagged. , ,
He urged the young men to play
the game—play It fair—play It right
—play It with justice to all.
Rev. Calfee contended that ancee
try played no part in the game of life.
Each man, he declared, held his own
destiny in his hands. Each roust
work it out. During the course of his
address he delivered the poem which
memorializes a negro slave who sav
ed the famous Charleston, S. C..
church and who spurned the white
man's gold after doing it. The
recitation was dramatically given and
most aptly brought iix
Mr. Calfee closed with a stirring ap
peal to the young men to act and
play well their parts In their lives.
The solos of Mrs. Conger were
most delightful and in her rendition
of the Bong "Turn Backward, O Time,
in Thy Flight," she thrilled the
hearts of her hearers.
President Robertson of the board
then presented the diplomas, as stat
ed above, which concluded the even
ing's entertainment after a benedic
tion had been pronounced by Rev. J.
MeV. Haight
After the graduation exercises the
High School Alum gave
a banquet at the home of Superin
tendent Drake that will long be re
called with pleasant memories.
The Eighth grade teachers were al
so entertained by Mrs. Ella Watkius.
Thus closed a successful year for Cody
schools and the magnificent corps of
Instructors under the leadership of
Superintendent Drake.
The little men and women In the
Eighth grade held their exercises on
Tuesday night in the opera house.
What an outpouring of fathers and
mothers to see and hear their chil
dren!
One of the best numbers was the
bright class prophecy of Willie Benn.
