The three lumber companies, the
Bird Creek, North Side and Anchor
age Supply have recently installed
telephone connections in their places
of business.
Superintendent Jas. O’Reilly left
for Matanuska Junction and railroad
activities on this morning’s train but
expects to return tonight to take in
the Elks’ picnic tomorrow.
The services of the Christian Sci
ence church will be held tomorrow
morning at the Empress theatre in
place of the Byrne hall as formerly.
Services commence at 11 o’clock.
Postmaster Wood is in receipt of a
telegram from Postoffice Inspector
Niell advising that the request of the
people of Anchorage in regard to two
mails a week during the winter
months will be granted.
Later reports from baseball head
quarters are that the City and Sham
rock game will be, called for 1 o’clock
tomorrow afternoon, followed by a
game between the All-Anchorage se
lection and a picked nine from the
other teams.
The opening of the new pool hall by
Chauncey F. Peterson and E. K. Pe
terson is deserving of more space than
The Daily Times is able to give it to
; day but more will follow' in Monday’s
issue. This pool hall will be open to
the public possibly tonight but surely
tomorrow and promises to be a clas
sy place. The popularity of the two
Peterson boys insures a liberal pat
_ ronage and their new place of busi
ness on the south side of 4th avenue
between C and D streets is a credit to
: the city.
City-Shamrock
Game Tomorrow
The City team and Shamrocks will
make their final appearance tomorrow
afternoon at Recreation park prior
to the Anchorage-Seward series and a
good game is bound to be the result.
The race for the Anchorage flag has
| simmered down to these two teams
and the rivalry is keen but good-na
tured; the City team has the edge at
present and on form should cop the
flag. The Commission team while
composed of a good bunch of ball
players, apparently lack one of the
prime requisites to win ball games
and that is—team work. The Junc
tion team is practically out of the
" race and it is understood that the
team will disband.
I The selection of the All-Anchorage
I team is practically complete ,and, un
i less the Seward bunch runs in some
! ringers, will bring home the bacon.
I From a private source it' is under
stood that Seward is out to win this
series, which is natural, and that the
town, as a unit, is absolutely behind
their team; this is as it should be and
the stronger team they present the
more mud and glory for Anchorage.
However, it is hard to believe that
® this further information relative to a
famous outside battery is correct;
first because it would be hard to in
duce a famous battery to make this
trip and again experience has shown
that the Seward bunch of fans and
sports, in keeping with the entire
town, both commercially and geo
graphically, dies hard but game.
In speaking of the Seward series
Manager Tracy says that he does not
anticipate any trouble on this score
as the original agreement in regard
to qualified players will be adhered to
nor does he believe that Seward would
resort to any unfair methods to win
the series.
Manager Tracy received a letter
from the Seward management yester
day confirming the recent telephone
1 agreement made with Frank Cotter in
regard to the $300.00; the letter fur
ther stated that the town will sustain
[ its reputation of courtesy and hospi
tality and several social affairs had
been arranged for the entertainment
of the Anchorage ball playcra and
faithful followers.

Daring Robbery
in Detroit City
DETROIT, August 5.—One of the
most daring robberies in the history
of the country occurred here yester
day afternoon, in broad daylight and
on the main street of Detroit, when
five masked bandits, riding in an auto,
held up the paymaster of the Bur
roughs Adding Machine company,
who was in another auto, en route to
the plant of the company to make the
monthly wage payment to the em
ployes.
At the point of guns, the robbers
held up the paymaster, and according
to the latter’s statement to the police,
soon after the robbery, he was de
prived of $45,000.
Many detectives are working on the
case today, but so far as known, no
clues are available as a working ba
sis.
