SUMMARY OF IRE
TRIP 10 SEWARD
OF BASEBALL BOYS
In giving a summary of the trip
made by the All-Anchorage baseball
team to Seward the facts of the
games and the trip are too well
known and further detailed comment
would simply be a rehash. The trip
from Anchorage by the way of the
good launch Islander to Mile 69 was
anything but pleasant and the all-day
trip interspersed with walking, wad
ing, pumping hand cars and riding on
flat cars was anything but conducive
to good ball playing.
The baseball party reached Seward
at 9 o’clock Friday night and all but
a few of the citizens of the town met
■ the train and escorted the boys to the
j Overland hotel where they made their
! headquarters during their stay in
, | Seward. The dance scheduled for
! Friday night was postponed on ac
count of the lateness of the hour and
the physical condition of the boys.
Saturday it rained, in fact it had
been raining for several days, as can
be well substantiated by the entire
bunch of Anchorage ball players. The
Saturday night dance was enjoyed by
the boys and the first ball game was
played Sunday afternoon with Mick
ey Costello and Ernie Amundsen in
the points for Anchorage.
The imported battery of Williams
and Lee from the Northwestern
league appeared for Seward and Pow
ery, of Anchorage and Ellsworth, of
Seward, umpired the game. Mickey
pitched a good game but Williams
went a shade better; Seward got six
hits and Anchorage two by Nicholls
and Levine. Anchorage lost.
Seward fans were betting their
money before the series started and
stretched a point after the first game
but the Faithful Few covered every
thing in s;ght. The baseball enthusi
asm displayed by Seward was really
good and the old town awakened to a
second life; all business was suspend
ed and the ordinary routine of daily
life was neglected in the interest of
baseball. The second game in which
Seward played a bona-fide team, was
won by Anchorage with “Slim” Linn
in the box and reliable Amundsen
catching, Gus .Man they, ol vapor
fame, started the game for Seward,
but was knocked out of the box in
■ the seventh, being replaced by Lucas.
There is no question about Gus being
a favorite and his popularity is easily
accounted for, but neither he nor Lu
cas, also of the vintage of ’78, were a
mystery to the Anchorage batters. In
winning the second game the All-An
chorage team have the honor of not
only beating the Seward team, but the
entire town of Seward, including Mr.
Ellsworth, the lone umpire.
According to unbiased opinions, in
which the version of several- ardent
Seward fans is taken into considera
tion, the score should have been An
! chorage 10, Seward 2, and it was for
tunate that Anchorage finally got the
long end of the score. The feeling
displayed in this game was very bit
ter and it was exceptionally hard
fought. There were many close plays,
and the decisions did not meet with the
approval of either side. The task of
umpiring amateur games is never
pleasant and possibly Mr. Ellsworth
did his best, but it is very easy to un
derstand why he is not wearing a
medal donated by the committee
which has charge of the national
I game.
The third and deciding game was
played Tuesday with Van Dever and
Amundsen, Williams and Lee working
respectively for Anchorage and Sew
' aid; Nicholls and Ellsworth umpiring,
| Anchorage had the game sewed up
two to nothing up to the sixth and
should have won 2 to 1 but errors lost
the game in the eighth.
The three games were close and in
teresting and it is doubtful if three
such games will ever again be played
in this part of Alaska; not in any of
the three games was the result de
cided until the last man was out in
the ninth inning. The teams are fair
ly well matched, but on form Anchor
age should win three straight games
in the return series to be played
here the first of next month.
As a team the Anchorage boys did
not play up to form, especially in hit
ting and team work; however ’this
last fault can be remedied by daily
practice. The individual work was
good and in every position with the
l possible exception of third base the
Anchorage players outpointed the
i Seward bunch; this was especially
true in the cases of Amundsen, Nich
olls and Mills.
Amundsen’s work behind the bat
was great and superior to the catch
ing of Lee; Finnegan at second play
ed well for Seward, and it is hardly
fair to compare his work with that of
Nicholls’ who is in a class by himself,
| as is Mills in center, who played big
| league ball all the time. Campbell
| played a great game for Seward at

The people of Seward did their best

and if anything was neglected it

Harry Hoben, manager of the Sew- a

LOCKWOOD AT THE EMPRESS
“Such a Little Queen,” acclaimed '
the greatest success that these two | I

Lockwood, have ever appeared in, will
be seen at the Empress for the last

; of this picture. The photographic ef
fects are all that could be desiied—
the usual “Famous Players” result.
Little Mary is captivating in the ;
role which “Such a Little Queen” of- =
I fers to her. Her personality is dis- j
1 played throughout the play. In fact, J
I “Such a Little Queen” is one of the £
greatest romantic successes of the j=
current dramatic era.
A Keystone comedy, together with |
“Such a Little Queen” completes the |
bill tonight.
