VOLUME 30. NO. 20 COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1922 - COTTONWOOD CH RONICLE COTTONWOOD WINS 1ST GAME OF BASEBALL AT FERDINAND. | The Cottonwood baseball team, won its first game of the season from the Ferdinand team in a hotly contested game Sun- day afternoon. The game itself was a fine exhibition of baseball, in spite of the fact that the game was halted at different intervals over the umpires decisions which proved very annoying to the fans present and will have much to do with killing baseball in the future if teams do not heed the decisions of the umpire and elim- inate guarreling over his deci- sions. At the end of the ninth inning, Atkinson, of Ferdinand, struck a two base hit and in running past first missed the base by at least a foot, so it is contended, and for which the umpire called him out. Atkinson refused to obey the de- cision of the umpire and then a regular “kid” rag chewing con- test prevailcd for some time. As the result of Atkinson not obey- ing the decision of the umpire Cottonwood withdrew from the field after some ten or fifteen minutes of argument with the score standing 2 to 4 in favor of Cottonwocd. The battery for Cottonwood was Speck and Bies, South and Rhoades; Ferdinand, Atkinson and Fry. The battery for each team did exceptionally good work, Speck allowing only two hits in four innings and two runs and South pitched five innings with no runs chalked against him, Atkinson of Ferdinand, played practically the entire game for Ferdinand, striking out 18 men besides hav- ing several] hits to his credit . At least 100 fans from Cot- tonwood accompanied the local boys to Ferdinand Sunday. The outcome of the other games in the American and National Leagues of Idaho county were: At Fenn, 6, Stites 7. At Winonz, 7, Greencreck 2. At Kooskia, 5, Grangeville 9. Kooskia Here Sunday. Kooskia will play in Cotton- wood Sunday. Considerable work has been put on the ball park the past week a grandstand erected, ground placed in first class shape and wire netting six feet high stretched for the pro- tection of automobiles. Kooskia has a fast team and a good game is assured Sunday. Most of the players on the Kooskia team are Indians, we are informed. Come out and show the boys that you are in- terested in them. Cottonwood this year has the opportunity of having a championship team, all that is needed is your support. Other games to be played, ac- cording to the official schedule are: National League.

RECITAL A SUCCESS. | The musical recital, given Fri-) day evening, by the pupils of the Sisters of St. Gertrude, under the direction of their teacher, Sister M. Fortunata, 0. S. B.,| was a grand success and the little children taking part surely did themselves credit and also did the training of their teacher) show up in the various numbers. Each and every number, 28 in all, were well received by the audience. | The Sisters of St. Gertrude convent in the afternoon and evening disposed of a large amount of fancy work, the pro- ceeds of which will be used by the Sisters. They also served a luncheon to the public both Friday and Saturday afternoon, which was well patronized.

Miss Lallah Fulton, of Grange- ville, who has been taking ad- vanced work in one of the lead- ing musical conservatories of the country, will return to her home about June first. Miss) Fulton is favorably known in Cottonwood as a pianist of high order and a capable instructor. | If a class can be secured in Cot- tonwood to justify Miss Fulton will devote a portion of her time to this place. To those inter-' ested in music it will be a fort- unate thing to have a teacher of merit such as Miss Fulton or- ganize classes here. tl - FR. PHILIP ELECTED ABBOT HAS BEEN IN CHARGE OF ST. MICHAEL’S PRIORY FOR SIX YEARS, The Rev. Fr. Philip 0. S. B., prior of St. Michael's Monastery of Cottonwood, was elected Coadjutor Abbot to Ab- bot Frowin of Conception Abbey, Conception, Mo., May 10, with vight of succession, according a telegram received Wednesday from the new abbot by Rev. Fr. Willibrord. The news of the election of Fr. Philip to this high office comes as a great surprise to his many friends in this section and to them it is indeed gratifying news. Fr. Philip was selected prior of St. Michael’s monastery by Abbott Frowin of Conception, Mo., six years ago and during the time Fr. Philip has been in charge of the monastery he has placed the institution on solid financial basis through his ex- cellent business judgment and his ability as a financier. Dur- ing the time Fr. Philip has been in charge of St. Michael’s he has gone into farming and thorough- bred live stock raising very ex-| tensively and in both undertak- | ings he has been successful. It is not known at this time} whether Fr. Philip will return to Cottonwood or not but it is very likely, that he will, in order to attend to business matters which | requires his attention before giy- ing up his position as prior of the local monastery. One of the first duties of the new abbot will be to name a prior for St. Michael’s to succeed himself. COUNTY AUDITOR HERE. County Auditor Henry Telcher of Grangeville spent several hours in the city yesterday and while here made the Chronicle office a pleasant call. When we asked Mr. Telcher if he was to be a candidate for,auditor at the coming election he informed us that he would place his name before the electors for the posi- tion of county clerk, auditor and recorder. Mr. Telcher has made the county a very able officer, and one who has sincerely work- ed for the best interests of the people at large. Mr. Telcher is the first county official to de- clare himself a candidate for re- election. “Bunk” Eller had the misfov- tune to break both bones in his right leg Wednesday afternoon while making the afternoon de- livery for the Cottonwood Dray. Mr. Eller was in the north end of town and had just completed a delivery and in starting up his team ran off of the end of a culbert which upset his light wagon. In turning over the wagon hit his leg breaking it. Dr. Orr was at once called and took the injured man to his home in his car where the broken bones were set. Attorney W. L.

Hundreds of items | Were offered for sale on the auc- {tion block and wexe sold to the highest bidder, some of which |brought good prices and others were sold at bargain prices, | This is the first sale of its kind ever held in this section. !The merchants of the city placed merchandise from their shelves jon the auction block and sold | jthem for whatever price they | would bring. | Owing to lack of time the} | auctioneer was not able to make the rounds of all the business houses having merchandise for sale. The sale attracted one of the largest crowds that has been in Cottonweed in many days and it is the plans of the merchants at the present time to hold another such sale some time in the near future. | At the next sale, it is hoped that the farmer who has surplus livestock, of any kind, machinery and etc., will list it and sell it at the auction sale. The sales are being held for the convenience of the farmers as well as the business men. : The sale Saturday was of an experimental nature from which the promoters learned many val- uable suggestions which will as- |sist greatly in promoting the second sale, should such a one be held. CROSSING IN GOOD SHAPE, Both sides of the Stevenson crossing at Lawyers canyon south of town are said to be in excellent shape for traffic. The Greencreek highway folks on the other side have done some good work on that end of the grade and this end has been looked after by George Lynn and others }employed by the Prairie High- way board. In fact this grade is so inviting, and particularly so the beautiful little valley it traverses, that picnic parties are | making of it quite a resort. <A dancing pavilion is to be added to the natural attractions there in the near future, we are told.—- Nezperce Herald. } LOST VALUABLE HOG. John Funke, last week lost his prize winning Poland China boar, Funke’s Big Wonder. The animal’s death was a peculiar | one. While the hog, which was | an exceptionally heavy one, was sleeping he rolled onto his back and in this position he struggled | to again rieht himself until com- | pletely exhausted, the results of | which caused his death. | The hog was one of the finest | of his type in the west and with this animal Mr. Funke won many blue ribbons.

M. Breashears, United States marshal. “The Volstead act adds much to the work of the marshal’s office, the liquor cases being numerous, and there are also quite a num- ber of narcotic cases to handle.” Stockmen of the state are warned by Dr. J. D. Adams, state director of the bureau of animal industry, not to allow the feed mangers in their stables to become mouldy and foul, as this condition will generate botulinus poison germs, and the animals eating forage out of such man- gers will die of what is called “forage poisoning.” Turner Bros., the extensive farm operators southeast of Nez- perce, genrally do things on the major scale and now that a new barn is required to house thei blooded stock, they aye prepar- ing to build a big one modern lines.
