ORGANIZATION ATHLETIC CH R
HAS BEEN ABANDONED
Billy Morris, who started tne An
chorage Gymnasium and Athletic
club, has decided to abandon tne
idea and disorganize the club and re
quests all persons who have signed
up for the benefits of the clun 10
call on him at Robart's Pool Hall
and he will refund their money
This was a worthy undertaking and
one that would have been vast bene
fit to the business and professional
men of Anchorage and it was only
the lack of patronage that decided
Mr. Morris to take this action.

cf the best dog mushers and one o'

E. \V. Young, an old-timer in '

The pile driver is being placed
today to drive the piling for the im
provements and addition to the snip
ways and they will be made 100 feet
longer and widened 40 feet. This
will be a distinct advantage in hand
ling boats and river crafts.
All it needed was a beginning, a
starting point, an impetus, tne sound
of the crack of the ball against the
hat, the bellow of the real fan and
the screech of Young America to get
the came started and Sunday's prac
t.ce game brought out all of these
points. A real game has been ar
ranged for next Sunday afternoon
between the Commission team and
Pobart’s Shamrocks to be played on
the Commission diamond and a game
for the following Sunday will be ar
ranged with sonie ontside team if
possible. Mayor Moore is doing all

rpaterial he has lined up and while
the spirit of rivalry, which is so
necessary even in the the game ot
ping pong, is apparent, it is of a
friendly nature and is creating tnat
