ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, TUESDAY, JUNE 13. 1916.
. A FEW TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
The baseball season is now in full swing and hereafter
Uiero will be two games played each week—one on Sunday
and the other Wednesday afternoon. With three teams in the
field it 1ms been suggested that it would be a good idea for
their respective managers to get together and arrange a reg
ular schedule for this summer. There should also be two um
pires selected and thus do away with much of the dissatisfac-j
lion that always arises when one man lias to call strikes and
halls and also watch the bases and outfield.
Anchorage boasts one of the finest ball parks in Alaska,
due to the enterprise of a number of our local business men.;
who advanced the money to have the grounds plowed nd '
rolled and a grandstand erected. This represents an expendi- j
ture of over $2,000 by lovers of the national sport, and they
are certainly entitled to he reimbursed for what they have
done for the good of the community.
The grandstand furnishes the principal and practically
the only source of revenue and it behooves the fans to turn
out in large numbers, and also drop four bits in the coffers of
the treasury by purchasing a seat on the grandstand, as it
costs money to buy new balls, bats and other equipment to
maintain three clubs, to say nothing of some “come back”
on the investment in the park.
By all doing their part, the burden will not fall on a few
and the public will feel better for having lent its financial aid
to this popular outdoor sport. Even if you do not occupy a
seat on the grandstand it is certainly worth something to
witness a game and when the hat is passed around separate
yourself from at least a quarter—you will never miss it and
cannot afford to be a “piker.’’
Arrangements are now under way for a big celebration
on the Fourth of July and Anchorage should make it a three
day affair- during which time a baseball tournament could be
held. By getting the Valdez or Seward team here each of
the local clubs have an opportunity of playing at least one
game' with the visitors and the series would undoubtedly
draw a large crowd of people. Time is fleeting and if any
thing is done along this line immediate action must be taken.
Seattle “bootleggers” seem to be confined principally
to the police force, according to the expose being made in that
city.
Almost every incoming steamer brings people who came
to Anchorage with the intention of taking op a homestead
and making this section their future place of abode.
The Russians are certainly making great headway in
their fight against the Austro-Hungarians, having recently
taken over 100.000 of their soldiers as prisoners of war.
Tonight the chamber of commerce will hold its first meet
ing in the recently erected building for that body on Fourth
avenue. As several matters of importance are to be consid
ered a full attendance of the members is desired.
The democrats convene at St. Louis tomorrow and will
re-nominate "Woodrow Wilson as their presidential candidate.
He will have no opposition for the honor, the only fisrht of the
convention being upon the naming of a vice-president to run
with him. as there appeals to be considerable opposition to
placing Tom Marshall, of Indiana, again on the ticket with
Wilson.
On account of the increased demand for advertising space
and the further fact that the "Daily Times desires to furnish
its readers with more local and telegraphic matter than it is
at present printing, this paper will enlarge to 12 pages daily
within the next few days. Those wishing to keep abreast of
the times and have not already placed their announcements
in The Times, should send in their copy at once.
The death of John B. Seiffert, the nine-year^old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Seiffert- is most pitiable and awakens
the deepest sympathy for the stricken parents. Until death
came life held out to him a present filled with joy and can
opied with hopes all radiant with promises of continued hap
piness. But it was not to be. He has been transplanted, and
in the darkened home those who loved him most sit desolate
and well-nigh comfortless.
Notwithstanding the fact that the season of activity is
on the merchants of town realize that their clerks are entitled
to some consideration and consequently they close their places
of business at 8 o’clock in the evening and on Sunday. By
so doing all have an opportunity of indulging in a little out
door recreation and are thus better fitted for their labors of
the following day. Unfortunately there are always a few
grasping “fly by night’’ concerns in every community who
have no consideration for anything but the dollar mark and
they are willing to remain open at all hours and all times.
This is not fair to the legitimate merchants, who have shown
consideration towards their help and are entitled to the sup
port of the public for so doing.
