Com mission-Valdez Tennis Cham
pionship Hotly Contested.
On account of the unexpected early
departure of the visitors, the tennis
tournament scheduled for tonight,
was commenced last evening on the
Commission courts.
Wm. H. Jaenicke and R. D. Chase
represented the Commission and F.
R. Brenneman and T. P. Geraghty,
Valdez. Lawn tennis devotees were
given a treat such as is seldom wit
nessed outside of championship cir
cles. The tournament was charac
terized throughout by sharp, snappy
play; the quick hard serving and
brilliant returns continually called
forth applause from the large crowd
of spectators that gathered to wit
ness the contest for the championship
between the two teams. The swift,
skillful play of the visitors made it
difficult to realize that tennis was
with them only a recreation and that
the law was really their business,
and it was equally difficult to' re
member that our own representatives
were railroaders—engaged in putting
through our government’s great, new
undertaking.
The first set was hotly contested
but was’finally won by the Commis
sion and ended by a score 7-5. The
second set was equally as hard fought
and ended in favor of the visitors,
8-6. The third set stood at 3 all. At
the end of the second set the light
was beginning to fail and both sides
were well justified in quitting for the
day and allowing the issue to go by
until the morrow, but both sides were
too sportsmanlike to trust to the in
clemencies of the weather and insist
ed on playing the third set, but dark
ness compelled them to cease with
that.
The competitors will meet again
tonight at six o’clock and start in
again at the third set.
The third and final set will be
played this evening, games to start
at 6 o’clock sharp. Much interest is
being taken in this final set in which
the championship of southwestern
Alaska will be decided. In the work
last evening Brenneman and Geragh
ty lived up to their reputation and
their supporters are confident that
they will carry off the honors, while
the play of Chase and Jaenicke won
many local admirers who are equally
confident that the title will remain
in Anchorage.

PLUNGING OVER CLIFF
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
“By a fall of 175 feet to the rocky
base of a cliff in the Olympics, Wal
ter B. Sheffer, aged 30 years, for
seven years manager of the Ham
mond Warehouse company, of Seat
tle, was instantly killed about nine
o’clock Wednesday morning. His
skull was crushed, but not another
bone in his body was broken.
Sheffer’s companions believe that
part of the trail gave way. He^fid
taken a route slightly different from
that of his host, Albert F, l^peves,
mayor of Bremerton, a dntwo wo
men. When the three failed to meet
Sheffer either at the intersection of
the trails or at the camp, search was
begun and the body was found.
C. K. Hammond, of 1915 Tenth av
enue north, stepfather o fthe young
man, brought the body to Seattle yes
terday. Except Mrs. Hammond, his
mother, Sheffer leaves no other close
relatives.
Sheffer had been the guest of Al
bert F. Reeves, mayor of Bremerton,
at a camp near Rocky Falls, Jeffer
son county, for ten days.
The funeral will be helt at the Bon
ney-Watson’s chapel at 3:30 o’clock
Saturday afternoon.
Sheffer formerly lived in Fair
banks, Alaska, where he was for a
number of years in charge of the reg
istry department of the postoffice.
