Following the parade to Recreation
park over 2,000 people filled the
grand stand and surrounded the ath
8 letic field to witness the best program
jj of sport events ever pulled off in An
jj chorage or for a matter fact, the best
l in Alaska and part of Arkansas.
> After a selection by the Anchorage
• band, which did much to add to the]
jj success of the day, Chas. Peters, the
3 man at the helm of the celebration, i
> made an earnest talk to the people,
jj stating in a concise manner the great
i work that had been done by the Alas
a ka Labor union and called for finan
» rial assistance, which was freely giv
E en;
jj The different events followed in
’ rapid succession and the vast audi
" ence was kept in constant suspense of
5 expectancy, anxiously waiting the an
e nouncement of Jack Burns stating the
t winner. There was not a single ordi
» nary event on the program and the
: committee in charge has asked The
S Daily Times to thank Dr. J. T. West
a ermann, Chas. G. Ganty, Harry Hicks,
jj F. V. MacKinney, Jos. Horrocks and
jj Jack Burns, the marshalls and many
a assistants for their indefatigable ef
a | forts to speed the events and thereby
» save the delays so common to ordi
jj nary programs of this nature,
a Starting with the 100-yard dash
! won by C. H. Sheets the 50-yard la
| dies’ race was won in good time by
jj Miss I). Blodget. Sheets also won the
a men’s 50-yard dash and W. J. McMil
S Ian won the fat men’s race. The 200
jj yard wheelbarrow race was won by
5 Robt. Votava and Sam Agee won the
j sack race.
i The standing broad jump was won
jj by Jessie Warner and Agee won the
a running high jump. The nail-driving
? contest for ladies only was one of
1 the features of the day and Mrs. Ram
sey succeeded in driving five nails in
the fastest time.
The ladies’ wheelbarrow race was
the source of much amusement and
; was won by Miss Kline in record
breaking time.
The wood-sawing contest was close
ly contested and was won by Mrs.
; Blodgett and Mrs. Paxton.
Townsend and Sheets won the three
legged race and the events closed at
; 1 o’clock for an hour’s intermission.
| The first event after the intermis
• i sion was the tug of war which was the
j real event of the way and it took 57
minutes for the Vikins of the north to
1 pull the lads from the steel gang over
the mark. Saarala captained the win
! ning team and Allison was captain for
the losers.
West won the mile race and finished
in good form far in the lead of the
other contenders.
liitrie were iiu eiitries lur uie nine i
j relay, tie-making contest, and several
other events scheduled. The events at
the park closed with the climbing of
the greased pole, which was won by
Anderson. The baseball game be
tween the City and the Shamrocks
was won by the City by the score of
6 to 3.
Following the ball game at the
park the automobile race was run on
Fourth avenue with two entries run
ning from the Crescent to the Crist
hotel and return and was won by the
Universal Taxi company’s entry. The
horse race was won by the Mr. Ram
sey entry, which concluded a day full
of excellent sports.
The dance in the evening was a big
success and a fitting finish to a pel
feet celebr.T ion. The Labor Un or,
hall was filied to capacity and the
floor was crowded with dancers who
thoroughly enjoyed an exceptionally
pleasant evening.
Announcer Jack Burns gave out the
winners cf the vat ious events and the

sport events as follows: Best repre

Mantle or Charity f
Is Thrown Over
Sunday’s^Games
Charity, which is part of our creed,
forbids the further mention of the
Sunday baseball game between the
Shamrocks and the Commission other
than to report that the Shamrocks
won hv a large score. The game was
a frost and a veritable comedy of er
rors. It really was unfair and bor
dering on accepting money under
false pretenses to charge 00 cents, or
any cents, for admittance to the grand
stand. Still, the game counts in the
schedule and will have to be figured
in the won and lost column.
The game at the Junction was won
by the Junction and it is impossible to
get a really authentic account of the
game, but it seems that one of the
Junction players didn’t play fair, tak
ing advantage of poor eyesight on the
part of the umpires and cut the bases,
making* the course several feet short
er, enabling him to later hit the home
plate for the winning run.
There is no real sport in this kind
of baseball playing and it should not be
countenanced by the players of eith
er team. The only other bum play
was an error in judgment and will be
crowned the king of bonehead plays
in which the City team called for the
“squeeze play” with three on and one
down.
This game, too, is counted in the
percentage of games won and lost but
still the City team leads in the pen
nant race for the Anchorage Hag by
beating the Shamrocks yesterday aft
ernoon by the score of fi to :>.
A detailed account of the game with
the box score following the standing
of the clubs will appear in tomorrow’s
issue of The Daily Times.

There have been over 100 Pioneers
of Alaska to sign the honor roll and
arrangements have been made for a
permanent organization with a re
quest to Fairbanks for a dispensation
to organize the order in this city. This
body of Loyal Alaskans expects to
have a smoker in the near future that
will be one of the many reasons why
the old-timers should get in line and
assist in the organization.
