IS PEN MIGHTIER
Til Iii I n mi in
"I simply couldn't help but call
them, they were so cocky about win
ning,” were the words used by Mana
| ger Greer In trying to square him
I self with the balance of the force
when his attention was called to the
ball game between The Daily Times
and the Lumbermen. It is simply a
case of trying to break into the big
league and want to establish a rep
| utation by beating The Times force.
They think it is such an easy vic
tory that even Campbell talked him
self into the North Side Lumber com
I pany so that he could play on the
winning team; still that feeling of
jealousy and dissension so common
to such organizations has already
sprung up In their ranks and it is |
rumored that Summy will be ousted
as manager and they all want to be
captain; one of their most conspicu
ous players was heard to remark that :
he wouldn’t play unless he could j
pitch, and there you are. j
There is absolutely no dissension I
among The Times players. It doesn’t
make any difference to them who
pitches and not one of them" wants to
catch behind the bat.
There is an unwritten law among
real sports about proselyting that
the lumbermen seem to have over
looked. Who ever heard of Howard I
working at anything, much less get
ting up a sweat in a lumber yard?
And just because Larry Bryne drew
up the plans for the Klks’ club room
they want him to umpire. whe.n it
was distinctly understood that no
one not connected with either the
newspaper or lumber business shall
have anything to do with the game.
These facts are simply put before
the. people so they may know what
opposition The Times has to contend
with and not with the objective idea
of creating a feeling of sympathy or
to unduly bias the reading public in
their behalf.
And at this time will say that The I
Times will not bet on themselves for
the. simple reason that it is not
sportsmanlike and creates a feeling
of professionalism and then again
the game is scheduled for Thursday,
and pay day in newspaper circles
comes on Saturdays Nor do they
advise their friends to bet or even
wager on the result, as it might be
embarrassing to explain why they
lost, although it will be easily seen.
Just to show our attitude of fair
play and that we are not absolutely
without friends it was with a feeling
of sadness that it was necessary to
refuse the services of some of the
best known ball players and most re
putable citizens of Anchorage who
desired to connect themselves with
this paper in order to assist in the
game and in refusing the services of
such renowned athletes as Charlie
Brown, Dr. Reedy, Capt. Lathrop
and even Mike Reilly offered to sell
papers on the street, the public will
know that The Daily Times expects
to tote square. However, we have
retained Mrs. J. Turner and Bill
Spence.r as chorus leaders.
But just as Chas. Herron said in
his last talk to the team—“Boys, if
you can’t win fair don’t win at all,”
and it is with this feeling that The
Daily Times enters into this contest
with the following line-up: Harry
Steel, the best pitcher in the Cordova
league, will twirl. In Wright’s old
home town in Illinois they still talk
of his catching abilities and he will
receive. Billy Greer, that foxy quil
ler of dog-racing fame, will guard
the initial bag, and while Charlie
Herron poses as a newspaper man, in
reality he is a ball player and will
cover second. That Man Logeman
plays third in the same graceful man
ner that he handles the job press
and “Sport” Smith at short is a stone
wall on defense. Packard with the
support of the entire Labor Union
will play center field, and Grant, Pe
terson, Scott, Sharts, Arbuckle, Shee
nan and Bedell will take care of the
other two fields. Then for substi
tutes there are Leopold David, Edi
tor Shaw and Horace Gre.ely Need
ham. Misses McCrea, Byles and Aus
tin will attend as maids of honor.
Owing absolutely to the stand that
Manager Greer has taken in this mat
ter the public will not be charged
one single cent to witness the game
and there will be no question of di
vision of the spoils. The Times has
selected A. S Koch as their umpire,
with War-dell of the government and
War-ren of the commission to back
him up in his decisions
In closing will say that The Daily
Times is glad to announce to the
public that we have been fortunate
in securing the services of G. I. Am- j
undsen as “all arou d man” and in
cidentally he will make his first ap
pearance in a Daily Times uniform
in Thursday’s game. Mr. Amundsen
needs no introduction to the fans of
Anchorage, for in addition to being
a good "all around man’’ is given up I
as being the best catcher in this j
league, and it might be well to men
tion at this time that Dorwin, late of
the Shamrocks, has a’ccepted a posi-!
tion with The Daily Times as lino
type operator. In order to offset the
fair following of such Adonises as
Summy, Howard and Bade The Times
has secured the services of Chief Op
erator Stine who may play before the
game is out. Mr. Stine belongs to
the Chicago Press club and is in
good standing. Mr. Fischer, while
he may be employed by the commis
sion at the present, is the man who
originally invented the job press and
is entitled to play and there is Dr. j
McBride who iB eligible and also
Father Shephard, but they will not
be used except in case of dire neces
sity.'
The Lumbermen expect to cop this j
game off by the exertions and maneu- \
vers of Smith, lb; Howard, 2b; Ber
ry^ 3b; Normile, If; Maxwell, cf;
Bade, ss; Finch, c; Summy, p; and
Carmody, Cox, Mayor Moore, Sid An
derson and Fowler as substitutes. <
The Times has entered a strenuous
kick on Moore, but is perfectly will- 1
ing for Anderson and Fowler to par
ticipate. Larry Bryoe will act as
their umpire with the moral support
of Fred Tracy and physical support
of "Slim” Grey
As mentioned before seats irt the
grandstand will be free, the band
will play and the game will start
promptly at 7 o'clock Thursday even
ing and the stakes will be honor on
one side and glory to the victor.
