MEMORIAL MV WAS JfflfflBTELY OBSERVED
Decoration Day in Anchorage for
the year 1916 was appropriately ob
served. The day w»s perfect and a
large crowd attended the services.
The business men as a whole dis
played the proper spirit of patriot
ism in the way of decorations and
in closing their places of business.
The program as arranged was well
carried out. The platform just in
front of the Elks Club room was
decorated with bunting, flags and a
large picture of the immortal Abra
ham Lincoln was conspicuous. Two
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic, Edw. Rawsan and W. J.

The Anchorage brass band of six
teen pieces furnished patriotic, soul
inspiring music, and are entitled to
the thanks of the whole of Anchor
age for their services. Mr. Normile.
as president of the Elks Club, acted
as master of ceremonies.
The fire department had sprinkled
the dust on the Elks’ lot, which made
it much more pleasant for the crowd.
The opening number was the na
tional air by the band, followed by
The Vacant Chair,” beautifully ren
dered by the Commission quartet,
composed of Messrs. Vint, Manning,
Koberlv and Oldfield. Dr. McBride’s
opening prayer reached the hearts of
everyone. Secretary W. H. Grigg
delivered Eincooln’s Gettysburg ad
dress in a masterful manner. Attor
ney J. L. Waller made the address
of the day. The school children
sang '‘Columbia,” and the audience
joined in the chorus. Dr. McBride
touched the responsive chord in the
hearts of the audience when he in
troduced the gray-haired veterans of
the two armies, the north and the
south, in a voice trembling with
emotion, and with words that rang
true asked the audience to take off
then hats and pay their respects to
the veterans, representatives of the
remaining members of those gallant
armies who fought in the civil war
of this country.

day, outlined the order of parade

PLACER MINING GROUND
Arthur D Jett came over from
Sunrise on the launch Brighton with
Captain Nate White. Mr. Jett has
large placer holdings on Six-Mile
creek and expects to make a thor
ough drill test of this property. He
is operating one drill at the present

petent man and one of large experi
ence in the placer mining game.

CITY BALL TEAM PLAYS GOOD GAME
AND WINS EASILY FROM SHAMROCKS
“Who misses or who wins the prize.
Go lose or conquer, as you can;
But, if you fall, or if you rise,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.”
It may sound strange, but never
theless it is true that in any game,
any competition, some one, some
team, must lose.
Any one can win, but it takes a
gentleman to lose; a winner can af
ford to be magnanimous, but a poor
loser shows the yellow, and the color
combination of yellow' and green
was tabooed in County Cork long
ago.
The ball game at the Commission
ground yesterday brought out all
the local fans and some from the
hills. The day was ideal for base
ball, and not even Seward can say
that Anchorage is not patriotic when
it comes to the national game. Just
as Memorial Day was observed yes
terday in every city, village and
cross-road town in the United States,
so was baseball the finale of the
day's celebration. That little village
nestled in the green hills of New
Hampshire, nor did Seattle, the port
of entry, have anything on Anchor
age when it comes to the proper dis
play of patriotism.
That there would be a certain
amount of feeling in the game was
apparent several days ago, and the
fans were anxious to get a line on
the two teams, and both had their
following. The crowd w-as not as
large as the one that saw Sunday’s
game, nor was the silent offering as
large, but everybody enjoyed the
game with the exception of the dis
pute over the umpire, who, in An
! chorage just the same as in that lit
i tie New Hampshire town, was the
I Carnegie’s local representative has
not fully decided whether the medal
| goes to Bill Spencer, the owner of
Ketch, for rooting, or whether the
; medal should go to Mrs. J. Turner,
i and in passing it is too bad that Car
negie doesn’t hang up a male and a
female prize, for they were both
good and each deserving a medal.
The official umpire. Sid Barring
ton, called the game exactly at. 2:30,
the City team at bat, and the play
was on. with Tiffany at bat. Tiff gets
on lirst by an infield error, Linn out,
and Nichols scores Tiff from first by
a two-bagger. Nichols makes first
hit, and Tiff scores first run of the
game. Brownie had the Indian sign
on the Shamrocks from the first,
Rochon struck out, Loudermilch
reached first when Bush got tangled
up in the roots in right and stole
second; just to show’ that there was
no hard feeling Browmie presented
Van Houten a binger in the fourth
rib and incidentally first base; Lou»
dermilch and van pulled off the first
and only double steal of the game on
the next ball pitched; Levyi struck
out; Amundson out. foul fly to
Grady. Loudermilch got the first
stolen base, and Van the first clout
in the ribs.
Brownie, for the City team, went
through the nine innings and was
going strong at the finish, striking
out three men in the ninth. He had
twelve strikeouts, gave two bases on
balls, hit three and had one wild
pitch. Leahy, of the Shamrocks, al
lowed twelve hits, struck out four,
and walked two. While Brownie had
the best support and pitched the bet
ter game, Leahy pulled out of sev
eral bad holes. Both pitchers went
to sleep once, holding the ball and
watching a runner amble from first
to second. Henning was unfortu
nate in catching one of Brownie’s
ones on the right hand, break
ing a finger. Hays went in to catch
in the third, and was replaced by
T’ffany in the second. Nourse taking
third and Anderson left field. Kos
raos was replaced by Aumann in
right field, for the Shamrocks.
The City team looks and are the
best on paper, and this was their
first game together, several players
having to be introduced to each
o'hcr before the game. Tiffany and
Nieholls showed up particularly well,
j Tiff was in the play every minute
i and put up a classy game, fielding
I bis position at third without an
| error and playing a fine game behind
the bat. and got the longest hit of
the game, a dean three-bagger.
Nieholls fielded and batted well, and
ibis hits came at the opportune mo
j raents. Admiral Nourse was great,
and is the champion pilferer of the
game, having five stolen bases.
Fowerv at second was good and bat
ted well: Linn, center, went through
without an error and pulled down
one or two hard ones. Linn is a
pitcher, and will be heard front later
on. Bush, at right, played in hard
lu.-l:. but plainly proved that he has
I been some ball player and will come
hark. He will be a great addition to
the team on account of his experi
■ cure and knowledge of the game as
if should be played. Grady, at first
got everything that came his way,
except one foul that landed on the
roof of the hospital. He batted like
a fiend, and did much to keep the
ginger and pep in the balance of the
team. Henning was showing up well
when he met with his accident, and
young Hayes showed grit by taking
Henning’s place, not having ever
caught Brownie before. Anderson
showed up well in left.
For the Shamrocks, Leahy pulled
out of several bad holes and had
poor support at critical times, old
man. Rochon, at short, bearing the
brunt and delivering the goods. His
•playt cutting off a runner at home,
was great, and he never lost his
nerve, but finished the game head
up. Loudermileh played a beautiful
game in -center, his perfect throw to
the home plate on the Bush play
being the prettiest play of the game.
Amundson was “off feed” a trifle on
his pegs to the bases, but is all the
tuna a ball player. Sammy fielded
veil but was weak at the stick.
Lev: i had severa’ costly errors, but
