SERIES OF BALL
July committee selected from the
members of the Chamber of Com- i
merce, held a meeting last night
and appointed Ray C. Larson, Sid ,
Anderson and Dr. Westermann a fi
nance committee to solicit subscrip
tions for prizes for the Fourth of
July sports and other expenses.
These gentlemen will call on all the j
business people tomorrow and will
return their report Friday evening
when the committee will be called
together again to plan exactly what
they are to do on the Fourth.
The only thing the committee
decided was in reference to the ball
games. Matanuska Junction hav
ing organized a team and desiring
to visit Anchorage on the Fourth, it
was arranged by the committee,
that Matanuska Junction team and
the eommision team play on Sunday
before the Fourth and that the city
team anti Robarts’ Shamrocks play
on Monday at 7 p. m. and that the
winners of these respective games
play for championship at 3 o'clock
on the afternoon of the Fourth.

It has come to us by various ways
that we were and are being severely
criticised in some circles for not do
nating our services and playing for
the ball game last Sunday which
was a comercialized game and an
admission fee charged to enter the
grandstand. For the benefit of the
reading public 1 will state that it
was advertised that the band was
to be attendance for that game by
someone in charge, without even
mentioning it beforehand to any
member of the band. Then at the
eleventh hour I was approached
and asked to bring out the band to
help make the commercialized game
; a success. In answer I told the
committee that I was only the di
! rector and would state the facts to
! the boys and if the committee would
take it on themselves to announce
the fact in the grandstand that the
band was donating its services for
this occasion but were going to give
a grand ball on June 20 and let two
of our members pass through the
grand stand and’ trv to sell tickets
to our dance so that we might re
ceive some remuneration for our ef
forts during the summer, I was sure
the boys would do their best to
make the occasion a success. Their
anwer was that they were sure ev
ery hall player would buy a ticket.
Meaning that they did not approve
of our methods of selling tickets
in the grandstand.
We have played out in public on
several occasions but have failed to
reveive anything so far for our serv
ices and now I understand that some
of the committee have interested
themselves in trying to get the pub
lic not to support our efforts to get
some money to get music and try to
bring the organization to a more
proficient state.
I want to thank those public
spirited men who contributed for
! the purchase of a bass horn for the
; band last winter. But I cannot help
but notice the difference between
collecting contributions for a bass
horn and contributions for a dog
race or to outfit a ball team. I
tramped over the streets for over
two weeks to collect the sum of $55.
while $500 could be raised in a few
hours for sports.
I am not writing this letter in
any iota of a revengeful spirit, but
rather with a saddened one, to think
that our investors of hundreds of
dollars in instruments and music
and our untiring efforts of three re
hearsals a week to become more
proficient that the public might ben
afit from our progress; also that it
might appeal to the finer senses and
in the end becoming a source of
pleasure and delight to the ladies
and little children as well as lifting
man from the base and sordid pas
sions inherent to his nature and ele
vating the moral standard of the
community.
Our hope and aim has been to
receive the clasp of friendship and.
a cheering word from out fellow cit
izens of the far north for our efforts
to cultivate our talents and not to
antagonize anyone. Yours vtry
truly and sincerely,
MEMBERS OF THE BAND,
C. G. BACON, Director.
