Skagwny Wallops Juueau
Without Trouble
Skagway, 13; Jumuu. 1.
Those figures tell the tale of Skag
way's victory io yesterday's baseball
^atne over Juneau only Id part. The
ot ler part of tbe tfcil Is told when ;it .Is
saU that Skagway scored in every
innings but one and that Juneau scored
In none of the innings but one. In
other words, the home team outplayed
t?o visitors at every stage of the game
from the time the Juneauites were
retired in the first innings, with all the
bases full, until the first half of the !
ninth innings was played, and Juneau's
nsstfull of goose eggs was so complete j
tbat there was but a single live one
in it.
t Aside from the easy victory of the !
Skagway team the most notable feature
of the game was the disgusting wrangl
ing which characterized the first part
of it. The angry refusal of the visiting
manager to accept the umpire that had
given such satisfaction at Whitehorse
and the refusal of others to umpire
tbe game after witnlssing the disputa
tions of tte managers left a bad taste
in the mouths of the people which |
wis not lessened at the display of ill
temper for the first two or three {
Innings that were played.
The wrangling caused George Irving
of Ketchikan, who was selected as em
pire to retire after the second inning,
Private Logue. of the Tenth Infantry
was chosen in his place.
The game was also notable as mark
ing Charley Oiesoo's first appearance
in the bos in a regular game for Skag
way. He pitched a strong acd heady
game, and was splendidly supported by
good individual and team playing.'
In behalf of the Juneau boys it must
not be forgotten they played on Sky
way's ground acd their excursion -trip
had extended over one more day than j
had that of tbe local boys.
The Daily Alaskan was unable get |
the official scorer's record of the game.
The score by innings, however, was as
follows: .

If Von; Want.] a Baseball
Eye Act Quick
New is the accepted time to have
your eyes examined by a speacialist J
and to huve them fitted with glasses
that will give them a vision that is per
fect. The baseball season is about to
be with us agiinjand every good citizen
will want to get onto the curves of the
knights of the diamond. That will be
impossible if the eyesight is not per
fect. And then, the spring is the
season of the year when repairs are in
order, when everything should be put
in first-cbss condition for active work.
We examine eyes free of charge: we
use the latest appliances approved by
science, and we GUARANTEE SATIS
FACTION.
Our jewelry store and our repair and
manufacturing department are the
best.

A Story In Four Letters
[Original.]
College student sits in bis room
smoking and writing letters.
First letter, Percy Walker to his un
ele, Samuel Walker:
"My Dear Uncle? I write this my
fortnightly letter to you to tell yon
that I am still doing very well In my
classes? studying bard, devoting my
whole time to my college duties. I
haveu't missed a lecture so far this
term. You know, I am very fond of
athletics, but remembering your advice
to be careful about letting sports In
terfere with my studies I have huug
up the racket and the golf stick, con
tenting myself with poring over books.
It is very bard now that the spring
days are on to see the fellows going
out In field costume for practice; but,
remembering your valued advice, I
resist the temptation.
"Then, too, I have taken advantage
of your warnings about drinking and
smoking. Cold water is good enough
for me, and as for smoking, the smell
of tobacco makes me sick.
"I hope you and my aunt continue lu
your usual good health and that your
eyesight has Improved. Tell Aunt
Caroline that I am taklug all the
spring medicines she scut me. I am
really quite fond of the herb tea, and
the liver mixture Is doinjt wonders for
me. Tell her that I am heeding her
advice not to throw off my overcoat
too early In the spring pud uot to go
out on damp ground without my rub
bers. The muffler she so kindly sent
me at Christmas time I have worn
constantly all winter.
"Be assured, my dear uncle, of my
affection for you and my aunt and be
lieve me your devoted nephew,
"PERCY."
Second letter. Percy Walker to his
fiancee. Miss Ituth Stevens:
"Dearest Ruth? Have just written
uncle, and now comes the- delight of
writing to you. (Stop till I lijlht njjipe.)
1 haw to tell you the glorious uews
that I am first lu winter practice lu
teunis and have won a place lu the
university crew. I've had more time
for sports this term liecauso I've
chosen elective studies that don't in
terfere* -the lectures, I moan? with the
hours for practice. 1 am having a
hard time In the spring examinations
and for the last week have been
'boning' night and day. I hope to
slip through? if my ponies don't go
back on me? but regret that the con
finement and lack of exercise may
'throw me' it my candidacy for a I
place in the football team.
"By the bye, I was forgetting to tell
you that I gave 'a wine' In my room
last week, at which two baskets of
champagne were consumed. There
were twelve of us, each man drinking
two bottles. The gaug was too high
mucky muck for pipes, so 1 bad to buy
a box of cigars. This took my last
dollar, and uncle's next check isn't due
for two weeks. I wish I dared ask the
old rooster for an extra. He'd send it
quick enough, but it would give, me
away. I'm telling him I have only
term and hash bills to pay. and he
knows my allowajce is plenty for that.
" "Mind, sweetheart, when you see un
cle to tell him that I've taken .? prize.
It's for singles lu tennis, but he'll think
lt's for a thesis lu Grtek. And tell
Aunt Caroline that I've been invited
to take the superlntendency of the
Sunday school at the Third Presby
terian church. They'll consider me too
u?*lest to write them these tbinjis and
will think all the more or mem com
lng from you. Ooodby, lovey. With
a billion kisses, your loving
"PERCY."
Enter a Ran? of students to discuss
the makeup of the baseball team for
the coming season. When they leav?
the letter writer is about to leave
when, seeing hi< letters, he puts them
In envelopes and hurriedly addresses
them. Then he runs after the athletes.
Third letter, Miss Ruth Stevens to
Percy Walker:
"Dearest Percy? You naughty boy!
You have sent me by mistake a letter
to your uncle. (Great Scott, 1 must
have se:it her letter to uucle!) Oh.
bow 1 laughed when 1 read it! (For
heaven's sake, it's no laughing mat
ter!* You ought t > be ashamed of
yourself. You 'devoting your whole
time to your studies!" 'Cold water
good enough for you!' 'The smell of
tobacco makes you sick!" Then those
'spring medicines' your aunt sent you
You know yon never wear an overcoat
or rubbers and seldom a hat.
"I think you'd better co back to
school and learu to write. It was all
I could do t > rend your letter. You
must be more careful. Some day
you'll be sending uae of your letters to
me to your uucle."
Soliloquy: That's Just what I have
done. Ruin stares me In the face.
Uncle will stop the funds, and I'll have
to leave college. And that when I've
Just got where I wanted to get on the
teams. Well, goodby. alma mater. 1
go to some sweatshop or other, where
I'll have to come down to lingering
other people's filthy lucre.
Fourth letter. Samuel Walker to his
Nenhevr:
"Dear Percy? Tours of the ? th Inst
received. Your handwriting is so bad
that I can't read it. I suppose it is a
request for money, so I Inclose a check
for $100. Your affectionate UNCLE.
"P. S.? Don't go out of your room If
you can help It on these damp spring
mornings. There Is a great deal af
| pneumonia about."

THE SMELL OF
THE CRAVE
6
(Original.]
"Tom, I smell newly turned earth."
Tom Glascock and I were sitting on
bis porch after dluner, smoking. As
soon as I had spoken I saw him turn
pale.
"Take that chair over there," he said,
pointing to one on the other side of
the porch from which I was sitting.
?Why so?"
"Change your seat," he said luipa
tleutly. "and I'll tell you."
I changed m.v seat, taking plenty of
time to do so, and when seated Tom
said:
"A man was shot slttlug exactly
where you were."
"When? IIow? Who shot him?"
"Some one with whom he was at
enmity. I never heard the whole story,
but I know he spoke of smelling fresh
ly turned earth just before he was
shot."
My heart began to thump wildly. A
man had smelted freshly turned earth
and been shot. I had swelled freshly
turned earth and had been sitting In
the very spot the murdered man had
sat.
"Tell me about the shooting," I said.
"You must know that, even If you
don't know the story connected with It.
"Maitlaud was bis name. He owned
this house. I bought It from him, or.
rather, from his wife. 1 asked her
about the story, but all I could get her
to say was that exactly at this time of
day he was sitting Just where you were
seated when he called to his wife, ask
lug her who had been digging abor
the porch, to which she replied t
she dldu't know of uny one hav
been doing s?. A few minutes lsttt
that window over your head was
raised, a shot rang out and Maitlaud
fell over dead."
I glanced uncomfortably at the chair
1 had beeu sitting in and, snitllng.
smelled freshly turned earth.
?'Good gracious!" I exclaimed. "There's
another window on the other side to
match this one."
"I uever thought of that."
I heard a step in the hall and, look
lug In. saw no oue. I began to feel
creepy. We had left Ed Glascock.
Tom's brother; Martha, his sister, and
two lady guests at the dinner table for
an after dinner chat and heard a cUt
ter of voices. I wanted to go back anil
join them, but did not care to show
my trepidation.
"How did this man. Maltlaud's ene
my. get into the house?" I asked, glauc
lug furtively up at the window from
which the shot had In'en tired.
"I tliiuk he had called to protest
against the foreclosure of a mortgage
on his home or something like that. He
and Maitland had quarreled about it
and Maitland had left him, cotnlpg out
here to get away from him. He heard
nothing for some time and supposed
the fellow had gone out by the side
door. Then lie smelled earth and spoke
to his wife about It."
"And then he was shot."
"Yes."
I glanced nervously at the window
above me and at 'he oue opposite, won
derlng If after one had smelled earth
he would be shot from the same win
dow as Maitlaud.
"I didn't know tl/it was a sign of ap
proaching death," 1 said.
"What?"
"Smelling freshly uirned earth."
"I dldu't either."
"I suppose It's the jfrave being open
ed In advance."
"Likely it Is "
"I dou't like this," I jald after a brief
Blleuce. "I smell eort?*-- freshly turned
earth. What's that?"
There was a sound under the porch
a sound of earth being thrown up
Tom und 7 both ieaid It and both
turned pale. \rp listened and heard t
scratching underneath as if some one
were scraping the loose earth together
preparatory to tossing it out o( a
grave.
"I wonder what's become of them
Inside," said Tom, as though he would
like an excuse to go in and join them.
"I haven't heard a souud from them
for some time." I replied.
"There it is again!" Tom said, with
a frightened look, referring to the
scratching.
"And the earthy smell."'
By this time we were so wrought
upon that no doubt we exaggerated
everything. Suddenly the wiudow
above me? the wiudow from which
Maltland had been killed? opened, and
a shot raug out.
I was as certain that 1 bad received
a mortal wound as 1 waa that It was
growing dark. 1 sank down on to the
porch and swooned.
When I came to myself I saw the
anxious faces of those with whom 1
had dined. Ed Glascock's face was
very white, and his brother Tom's was
also livid, bnt there was also an angry
look on It. The women appeared ter
ribly frightened.
"Is it mortal?" I asked faintly.
"Mortal! No. Ed has been playing
one of his pranks. He heard, us talk
ing out here and tired the shot to scare
us."
"But I hear the gravedlgglng be
low," I moaned. My nerves were com
pletely unstrung.
"Oh. that's Wag, our rat terrier!
He's been going for rats. He's torn up
every bit of earth under the porch."
"And I'm not shot?"
"No. stupid," said Ed. "You're as
eouua ns a nntT"
"Ed has made a fool of himself,"
said Tom. "He had no business to do
It. He might have frightened you to
death."
"It's you who have been making a
fool of yourself," retorted Ed, "harp
ing on that story to every guest that
comes Into the house. I concluded to
teach you a lesson."
