(AP>?Montana's hig game animals are getting plenty of minerals in their diet this year. Robert F. Cooney, director of wildlife restoration for the Mon tana Fish and Game Department said about 80 tons of specially min eralized block salt were placed on big game ranges throughout the state. Sidelights Of The Game The game Tuesday was 35 min utes late getting starte<J. The um pires from Eeusta. went to the stadium at the high school instead of the Little League field at Haz elwood. . ... There were about as many Canton fans on hand as there were ~ from this area. Both stands were full, and many peo ple crowded around the fence. When Jack Holder sent a home run over the fence, scdring .three lunriers ahead of him,* even the Canton stands cheered, aftpr it was over. Pne Cajiton.fan remarked, in a loud voice, as the baH - sailed over the fence: "Is there any ammonia in the crowd?" As a Canton player was called out by the umpire on a swift pitched ball by Trull, the batter turned, smiled, and remarked: "I bet I get a hit the next time I'm up." The Shelby team enjoyed a par ty Wednesday night at Camp Ad venture. Their coaches and man agers kept the team over an extra night as pay off for their victory Wednesday afternoon. About 75 people from Shelby followed their team here, and were constant rooters. One of the best plays of .the Wednesday afternoon game was the one-handed catch by Carlton Bur rell at-second base. He stabbed the ball In big-league style. To the Shelby pitcher goes a lot of credit for the victory. He pitched tight ball, and hit like a veteran, and rap like a deer. His fielding was masterful. Carver, the Mountaineer catcher, went about his job like he was from the big leagues, handling the ball with ease, and grace. He put himself into the game, and was one of the Mountaineers' hardest fighters. Beck, the Mountaineer pitcher Wednesday, the smallest man on the team, throws with a lot of power, and because of his size received more cheers than almost any other player. Several erorfs bunched together for the Mountineers was more than they could overcome In the Shelby game. Many former baseball stars were in the stands, and marveled at the play, attitude, and good work of the Little Leaguer*.
