COMMISSION PLAYS
A ClASSY GAME
Through the courtesy of one or the
prominent A. E. C. employes the
Daily Times is able to give its many
readers a detailed account of the
Commission-Junction game at the
Junction yesterday in which the Com
mission bunch prove that they are
coming into thier own and have
passed the Junction in the team
standing and are only one game be
hind the Shamrocks, Billy Greer, of
the Times, telephoned In from the
Junction this morning saying that he
made a bad guess but that the Junc
tion boys played better ball than the
account of the game shows and that
naturally he had to stay with them
as they wore the Daily Times suits.
A. E. C. 11, Junction 1, tells the
story of yesterday’s game at the
Junction. Two hundred people left
Anchorage yesterday and journeyed to
the Junction to root for the Commis
sion boys and were rewarded for their
efforts when the Commission team
ran around the bases almost at will.
The Commission team was never in
danger and started off in the third to
pile up the score. The resuit of a
hard week’s practice under the new
management had its effect, as was
shown by the playing of each player.
Sheets, the mainstay of the farmer
boys, who has been a mystery to the
other teams, proved easy to the hard
hitting aggregation of the Commis
sion team and was touched up for 14
hits. The rooting of the fans from
the city proved too much for the lusty
lungers from the Junction and noth
ing mucli was heard from their lines
after the third.
Mickey Costello, the mighty heaver
for the Commission, proved again
that he is the best pitcher in these
parts. He pitched top notch ball and
was supported in great style by the
rest of the team. Striking out 14
men, lje allowed only 14 hits, which
were mostly on the scratch order.
When the time comes for picking the
team to represent this city in Seward
Mickey will without a doubt be the
first pitcher to be chosen. He has
pitched great ball from the begin
ning, and would have won every game
but for the ragged support given
him. However, he can rest assured
that with the new line-up behind him
and judging from the article of ball
put up by the rest of the team yes
terday, he will have no trouble in
Iding the rest of the games to his
.urels.
It would have been a shut-out
game but for the fact that with two
man down and a man on third for
the farmers one of the rooters for
the Junction let out a wild Indian
yell, scaring Mickey so badly he
started toward center, the man on
third scoring. Mickey says he thought
it was the beginning of an Apache
attack and he was starting for the
tall timbers, forgetting that there
was a ball game going on.
The Commission team, tasting the
fruits of victory, is starting out this
week with hard practice and is de
termined to annex the game next
Sunday with the City team.

RUMORS heve been in circulation for some time that Eddie Collins
would supplant Clarence Rowland as manager of the Chicago Ameri
cans. Collins wishes to state that there is no chance for such a change.
Owner Charley Comiskey has never spoken to him of such a move, and,
another thing, Eddie states that he is not anxious to handle a team, not at the
present time anyway. Collins and Rowland are the best of friends, and surely
if the managerial reins of the Chicago team were going to change hands he
would know something about it. “There's nothing to it,’’ said Collins recently.
