The A. E. C. team broke in the
percentage column by winning yes
terday's game with Anchorage by the
scsore of 14 to 7. “The day was
cold and dark and dreary,” anything
but an ideal day for base ball and
while they could very well have
stood at least 120 degrees more of
heat, 354 public spirited fans paid
to see the game and 400 others wit
nessed the game as guests of the
Athletic Association and as usual
with “four hundreds” evidenced no
qualms of conscience. The fast dia
mond, clean outfield, the solid, com
fortable grand stand, the new wire
netting for the safety of the 354,
with the patriotic display of the

it to Anchorage and makes Recrea
tion Park the finest of its kind in all
Alaska. From the standpoint of a
'dyed in the wool” fan, the game
was not a record maker but from the
view point of the average fan the
game was made to order, replete
with fast, close plays, repleter with
j bum ones; some clean, healthty
swats, and random base running.
The crowd was very enthusiastic
and each team had a good following
of rooters with honors easy. C. A.
McIntyre had the honor of buying
the first grand stand ticket. Master
Victor Gill acted as mascot for the
city team and is not discouraged by
their defeat. Clarence Olson, as um
. : pire, stood the test well and while
; there were several close decisions
that did not meet with the approval
of the fans the game was noticeably
1 free from wrangling. The weather
; man made a bum guess or forgot to
mention the slow drizzle that started
about the middle of the game and no
j one would have been surprised to
have heard Umpire Olson sing out
‘ third out and ten yards to gain.”
Taking into consideration the new
diamond and field and the cold wea
Thompson was the star of the day.
ther the game was remarkably well
1 played and worth even the price the
nearly 400 paid to see it.
To his honor, Mayor Moore, goes
the “crown of wild olives,” he alone
retiring gracefully and errorless,
j His mighty heave of the first baH
! pitched took Tiffany off his feet and
there was a reason for Capt. Lathrop
refusing to catch him. The new and
attractive white and blue trimmed
suits of the Commission, worn for
• the' first time, at the end of the ninth
" inning were covered with mud and
glory and victory. Manager Jack
Steele rather sprung a surprise and
the ratio of two to one in the score
tells the story and holds good for
the entire game.
The boys from the hill outplayed
the City team, getting more hits and
fewer errors. Captain Fleishmann
out-Kaisered Captain Nicholls and
started off in the first inning play
ing the bunting game, which system
the Commission followed throughout
the nine innings.
The cold, raw day was hard on the
pitchers, but Thompson went seven \
innings in good shape, allowing only
seven hits, struck out nine, and ,
passed none. He fielded hist position 1
exceptionally well, and his stop and
throw to first from an awkward po
sition of Bush's hit in the sixth was
one of the best plays of the game.
In the third, fourth and fifth innings
he struck out five men and had jwo
assists of the nine men who faced
him. The mighty Costello went in
in the first of the eighth without a
, chance to warm up, holding the City
runless for two innings and allowed
i two hits, both two baggers, one of
which should have been fielded.
Both Brownie and Linn had very
i poor support, the City team making
; 14 errbrs behind them. Brownie is
not a cold weather pitcher, but al
lowed only four hits. The Com
mission sewed the game up in their
half of the sixth after two men were
out, making eight runs on four hits
and four errors, Linn getting the
worst of the decisions and poor sup
port. !
Fleishmann, for the Commission, i
played a good fielding game and bat
ted well, starting the bombardment
in the sixth with a two-bagger, scor.
ing two men. The Commission out
field are a good bunch of stickers
and outplayed the City fielders.
N'ourse, at third, received the brunt
of the Commission attack, making
some great plays and mussihg up a
few, his bare-handed catch of a foul
back of third being spectacular.
Nicholls also did and didn't, batted
well, and made a great catch of a
line drive between short and third
that was a hair-raiser. Tiffany hit
well, caught well, but belongs on
third base. Th« hits were about
even, the Commission getting eleven,
the City nine, and it was a crime the
way both teams pilfered. The Com
mission is credited with fourteen,
the City with eight stolen bases.
There is no doubt but that the Com
mission outplayed the City yester
day, as Official Scorekeeper Koch’s
book will show, and to them go the
honor of winning the first baseball
game played on the new diamond :a
Recreation Park.
