Sts Hospitality
The Anchorage baseball team
and the fans which accompanied
it, report a delightful time at
Knik Saturday last and are loud
in their praises of the hospitality
which greeted their visit. After
the bail game, the visiting team
was treated to a big dinner at the
Pioneer hotel and in the evening
a dance was given. It is unnec
essary to say that the dance was
a huge success, because Knik is
noted for its delightful hops.
The fare to and from Knik was
paid by the Knik boys, to say
nothing of the big feed and the
expenses incident to the dance.
The Knik team is expected here
tomorrow to play a return game.
The Anchorage team won at
Knik.
Anchorage
vs. Seward
Bernard M. Stone, of the Sew
ard Gateway, who returned home
on the Alameda, took with him a
proposition from Manager Rob
ertson, of the Anchorage base
ball team, for a ball game at
Seward, July 4th. It is quite
probable that a game will be ar
ranged for that date, in which
event the Seward team will give
us a return game soon after. The
Anchorage team is a crackerjack
and will give a good account of
itself if it visits cur neighbor.
