O’NEILL SUFFERS
SLIGHT REVERSES
O’Neill suffered slight reverses in 1
the journey toward the checker and <
whist championships of the state down
at Orchard Tuesday and Tuesday even- 1
ing when the checker and whist clubs <
met defeat at the hands of Orchard 1
players. The defeats were not near
as bad as they would seem to a !
casual observer, however, and the boys J
have a couple of perfectly good alabis 1
for the misfortunes. Ninety-eight 1
games iwere played in the checker 1
tournament, Orchard winning 52, *
O’Neill 33 and 13 being draws. No 1
cuunt was kept of the whist defeats. 1
The checker players were taken to ,
Orchard over the Burlington early
Tuesday morning by Vice President
Henry Watterson Tomlinson and Sec
retary Parnell Golden, Ed. Eager, Dr.
L. A. Carter, C. J. Malone and William '
Welch comprising the remainder of 1
the party. The whist club, consisting 1
of James A. Donohoe, T. V. Golden, S.
J. Weekes, J. B. Mellor and James K
O’Donnell went down to Ewing on the
9:30 Northwestern and drove from
there to Orchard, the trip being made
that way to fool the wives of the club
members. Mr. O’Donnell really should
have gone on the Burlington as he
plays with both the chceker and whist
teams and spent most of the time at
Orchard playing checkers.
The two clubs were met by a dele
gation of Orchard citizens headed by
Tom Drayton on their arrival and were
royally entertained during the day and
evening, business establishments pre
viously having been instructed to ac
cept no O’Neill money.
Checker play started soon after the
arrival of the O’Neill contingent, the
pick of Antelope county’s checker tal
ent being assembled to meet them.
Otto Matschullat, James Clifton, John
Jay, Dr. Gordon Fletcher, Howard
Hill, E. D. Montgomery and Tom
Drayton comprised the Orchard team.
Montgomery is the scout who was
sent up by Orchard before the Butte
O’Neill tournament to find out how the
O’Neill bunch played and who drew
with Larry Arnold down at the depot
one night, and it is violating no con
fidence to state that Mr. Montgomery
was not playing his best that evening.
It was the day after that engagement
that the O’Neill club adopted tho rule
prohibiting members playing with
strangers before a tournament, but the
damage already had been done, the
Orchard man being aware that Mr.
Arnold was one of O’Neill’g best play
ers. Mr. Arnold was prevented by ill
ness from attending the Orchard meet.
Several new moves were sprung on
O’Neill by the Orchard men, one be
ing the famous double-cross play,
which the boys think was responsible
for their defeat. The title of this play
must not be confused with the same
phrase as sometimes used to define
moves in ordinary affairs, but the play
has about the same effect. It is the
alibi for the checker defeat.
While the checker players were
moving around, T. V. Golden, James
Donohoe, Jesse Mellor and S. J.
Weekes played whist with E. C. Rec
tor, Henry Drayton, Fred Drayton and
Tom Drayton, the latter alternating
as did O’Donnell between checkers and
whist. Under ordinary circumstances
the Orchard whist players would have
been administered a most crushing de
feat, but all of the O’Neill players
agreed that they never did see such a
lucky bunch at drawing' cards ns the

Orchard men. And another thing. It
wasn’t kpown until after the battle
that Rector is a relative of the Dray
ton brothers. No one can play his best
igainst both luck and family ties, no :
matter how good he is: which is the
whist alibi.
Aside from these few things men- !
tione.i the trip was a most enjoyable '
