FROM KENNECOTT
The local boys took the Ken
necott nine into camp in the
opening baseball game of the
season by a score of 4 - 2. The
fans were treated to seven inn
ings of snappy baseball the score
being indicative of the playing of
the two teams.
Harwood on the mound for
McCarthy pitched ate liar ball
and bad things in hand at all'
times. On three occasions he had 1
a runner on third with one out
and retired the side without
score. But two hits were allow j
ed by him and but for two over
throws at third would have had
a no run game to his credit
Snyder and Olsen were Liu*
sensations with the bat while
Pennington and Woli came thru
with a hit each at the critical1
moment to score a runner from
third.
For the losers Mackey
caught faultless ball and got
one of the two hits. Birch at
first made two sensational catch
es of wild pegs.
General lack of practice was!

in order of batting—
J. B. O’Neill 1 B
K. Snyder S S
E. Pennington C
S. Wold L F

GOV. SULZER MAKES
PLEA FOR ROAD
There is always meat and
food for thought in what former
Governor William Sulzer of New
York has to say. When a sub
committee of the senate comm
ittee on appropriations had under
consideration an appropriation
for the Alaska Hoad Commission
this doughty champion of Alas
aa, who is concerned in mines
in the Chandalar district in the
Arctic Circle, the White River
district of central interior Alas
ka, and. the Craig district in
Southeastern Alaska, made a
very informing and cogent spec
ch before the .sub-committee
I n behalf of all that Colonel
Steese and others have said, l
am here to substantiate all that
they have said and more besides.
The best road builder the people
have ever had in Alaska is Colon,
el Steese. He needs no comm
endation from me or you or any.
body else. What he did in France
speaks in thunderous tones of
his ability as a constructor.
He is a builder and builders are
very scarce.
Some people tell you it is
an iceberg. The climate in Alas
ka is far superior to the climate
here, due entirely to the influ
ence of the Japanese current,
which is a greater river in the
Pacific Ocean than the Gulf
stream is in the Atlantic.
