Devastating Dodgers Open
Long Home Stand; May Be
Greatest Team Since 1906
By UNITED PRESS
- The devastating Dodgers,
shooting for victory, vengeance,
and vindication, opened a long
home stand Tuesday with the
chance to become the greatest
winning machine in the National
league since the gas-light era
Cubs of 1906.
As they returned in triumph
with eight straight victories on
their third romp through the
West following an opening game
setback in Chicago, they stood
at .728 in the percentages with
59 victories and only 22 defeats.
Two clubs in the league, the
Pirates and the Braves, have,
yet to beat the Dodgers, and
their opponents tonight, the
Beds, have suffered 12 defeats
against a lone victory. Since the
Dodgers have -won 13 straight
from both the Reds and Pirates
their combined won and lost
record against the three bottom
clubs in the league is an incred
ible 38-1. ,
No Crack-Up. Evidence
There is no evidence they will
let up. Stung by the awful
crack-up of 1951 which cost
them a pennant when they led
13V games as late as August
11, they are a grim and deter
mined outfit this year, gaining
momentum as they go.
Should they continue at their
current pace - or better it
they would surpass every win
ning percentage in the majors
since the 1906 Cubs won 116
games and lost but 36 to fin
ish with a .736 figure an all
time high.

stretch stage approaches. They
begin a long five city 21-game
trip with a night double-header
in Cleveland tonight. If the In
dians fail to close ground in the
four game set there, the odds
will be strong against them
making a recovery later.
Helena, Mont. (U.R) You
can't say that Jack Dempsey and
a tough Montana heavyweight
named Tommy Gibbons were
entirely responsible for Mon
tana's veterans-pioneer memo
rial building, now nearing com'
pletion.
Still, they helped the project
along, although all they had in
mind that Fourth of July in 1923
at Shelby. Mont., was to bat
each other's ears off as quickly
as possible
That was the first and last
big fight ever held in that little
prairie town. It was a good
fight, although the gate didn't
match the expenses of bringing
the two men together.
Here's how the story goes:
In the pre-World War I days,
boxing wasn't recognized by
Montana law. Not until 1919
was the sport legalized
That year the legislature rec
ognized boxing and ordered a
share of all proceeds to go for
the benefit of soldiers, sailors
and marines.
Proceeds Start Fund
The Dempsey - Gibbons fight
helped get that fund on its feet.
Jn 1923 the state legislature
passed a bill authorizing a
"pioneer" building for Montana,
but without providing money.
TOP A
Follow the Democratic Convention
With
From 1923 to 1941 four such
bills were approved but in each
case without funds. The idea
was that support would come
from interested groups.
Meanwhile, veterans' groups
had been thinking about a build
ing of their own. In 1941 repre
sentatives of the veterans'
groups and of the two pioneer
organizations Montana Pion
eers and Sons and Daughters of
Montana Pioneers asked each
other why they couldn't work
together.
That proved the solution. The
state supreme court approved
using $48,000 the fight fund had
collected, together with money
from the capitol building fund
for the veterans-pioneer memo
rial building. The state decided
to put up $250,000 from the lat
ter fund to help retire building
bonds.
Delayed by War
The war held up plans until
1945, when the state raised its
share by $150,000. Again, in
1949. the state added $300,000
for the building, making $700,
000 it had set aside for the me
morial building.
This summer the building will
be finished.
In the three-story gray con
crete building will be offices for
the two pioneer organizations
and four veterans' organizations
the American Legion, Veter
ans of Foreign Wars, United
SDanish War Veterans and Dis
abled American Veterans who
will pay no rent.
The long, one-story wing Jut
ting from the main structure
will house Montana's new his
torical museum, which may be
one of the best of its kind any
where when completed. It is
hoped to acquire a collection of
the paintings of Charles Russell
the great Montana cowboy artist.
