FRANK SIMMS II
SAYS THE C0TII6E CITY WIS FORCED OUT OF COMMISSION
The cutting out of (ha Pacific Coast
stonier Cottage City hubteo ? matter
of ooncern to business men and citirens
generally. The atory, as printed in
the Alaskan Saturday, left people In
the air, following as it did, the tele
graphic dispatches to the offect that
the service was to be Improved rather
than otherwise. So far from not being
unable or unwilling to explain the
reason fer the withdrawal of the
Cottage City, Mr. Stuart, agent of the
ocmpany here, is considerably wrought
up about the matter, sod declares that
his company has done what It has done
only because it was forced to it by a truffle
agreement with Mr. Peabodv which
left the Pacific Coast without ohoico in
the matter.
This is tho language of .Mr. Stuart lo
explanation.
"Tfie Cottage City," he saw, "was
ukcn off for the following reasons: The
White Pass made an exclusive contract
with the Alaska S. S. company for
through business to Dawson and Yukon
points and Mr. C. E. Peabody refused
to let the Paclfle Coaat 8. S. company
bare any contract with the White Past
unless the Pacific Coast S. S. oompany
took off one passenger boat and ran
the same number of boats sa the Alaska
S. 3. oompany. Ia other words, union
tho Cottage City wai taken off, the
Pacific Coast 8. S. company could go
out of busiuess as far as the Dawson
business was concerned."

It was a rattling little game played on
Sunday afternoon. The game w as called
at about three o'c ock, the rain keeping
the matter in doubt to that time, but
the weather clearing in time. The
lineup of tbe A. B.'s was not as planned,
the players scheduled having given up
the idea of there being any game at alh
So, at tbe last minute, it was found
necessary to call in two outsiders by the
A <{.'(, Tom O'Connall who caught and
Charles Rapuzzl.
There was a very fair attendance and
the enthusiasm was spread all down the
length of the gome. Snow for the A.
B.'a won the toss and took the bat. The
game cannot be gone into in detail as It
deserved. O'Connell made the one run
for the A. B.'s li tbe first and Burley
and Reynolds two for the Fifth Aven?
UeS.
In the second both played league ball
and sbut out the other.
The thitd was marked by two rana,
O'Connell and Snow, for the A. B. and
Reynolds for the Fifth, the score being
thus tied.

scored for the A. B. and thj Fifth was
shut out in 1, 2, 3 orJer.

A. B. and Burloy for the Fifth.

In the ninth A. Rapuzzl, Hillery,

Snow and O'Connell formed the
battery (or the A. B'?. throughout the
game. The Fifth Avenue had Reynolds
in the box (or the Southpaw( to
the fifth inning when Orchard
took his place to the finish.
Kingsbury waa changed from 3rd to
center in the dxth and Chapin took
third for the Fifth.

were bases ou balls off Reynolds 1
Orchard 0 and Snow none. Speaking
o( the whole g^me the errors were about
equally divided. Kirmse, C. Rapuzxl,
Littler and Chapin caught dizsly files

with the trick.
In the 7th inning Runner reached
first and took hold of Bayless, Snow
