I FAN'S SUGGESTION
| MEETS WITH FAVOR
:
♦
♦ The idea advanced hy M. Higgins
J in regard to a match game between
T the two teams, of his selection, as
J published in Tuesday’s issue of The
j ■ Daily Times, is meeting with consid
• erable favor among the local fans and
! I arrangements may be made to bring
this match about.
Manager Hansen, of the Commis
sion, takes to the suggestion and
says he would like to see the two
teams meet some time this week, pre
vious to the scheduled Sunday game.
The Daily Times suggested that the
managers get together for the final
arrangements, as this matter is up
to the management of the three
teams.
While it would be impossible to call
this an elimination match from the
fact that several of the players are
not eligible for the Anchorage-Sew
ard match, according to the condi
tions and agreement under which the
series was arranged, still it would no
doubt bring out the strong and weak
points of the individual players and
moreover be a relief from the ordi
nary routine.
Manager Tracy was in communica
tion with Frank Cotter at Seward
this morning and arrangements are
about perfect for the series to be
played in Seward starting the tenth
of August. A return series is also
contemplated and the next 30 days
will be full of baseball. Mills, the
new man for the Shamrocks, is touted
as a star and will strengthen that
team materially; Cullen and Stocker
have certainly added to the Commis
sion team; the Junction is after a new
catcher and as the season progresses
the interest and enthusiasm is in
creasing and all four teams are out to
win the pennant.

SIMPLE LIFE FOR
OLO RAILROADER
"Post Hole” Pete McCartin and
is two partners Cna-. Cunard and
Jack-Flannagin are down from-their
5 farm in the Matanuska valley to sign
i up for a station contract with tte
Alaskan Engineering commission.
Pete made The Daily Times office a
pleasant call yesterday and in addi
tion to subscribing for the paper told
in his characteristic manner just why
he was a farmer and on the way to
opulence.
"I am off of this city stuff for life,”
said Pete as he lighted his "jimmy”
and settled down for an interesting
reminiscence of railroad life that he
had followed for years. “I helped
build the Grand Trunk and the Cana
dian Pacific, but what did I get out of
it?—nothing but hard work and not a
bit of glory. Life in the railroad
construction camps is exciting and in
teresting; there is always a rush and
a roar connected with it that I liked,
but the lure of the city called me and
after a few months in Seattle playing
a miniature part of a Morgan it
wasn't long before a square meal and
myself were strangers. The Alaska
- idea occurred to me and in cor. pany
with my two partners we worked the
steamship company for our passage
to Anchorage. Knowing so many of
the railroad boys on other works we
soon got jobs here and decided then
and there to save our money and buy
a farm. After saving enough money
to make the proper application and
buy seed potatoes and grub we took
up a homestead in the valley. It was
a lucky stroke for us for we now have
in 12 acres of the finest spuds in the
country and a whole acre of cabbage,
- in addition to other small garden
_ truck and I wouldn’t trade my Mata
- nuska valley farm for any similar
acreage in the states.
“The potatoes and garden truck are
advanced far enough so that they do
not need any further attention until
harvest time and my partners ami
myself are going to take a contract
with the government and from now
on all of our earnings go to improve
that Matanuska valley farm.”
THE BIG MEET.
Tonight and not Friday night is
_ j the eveijjng of the indoor meet in the
: parlors of the Presbyterian church.
| Close competition in the different
events is promised and in addition a
splendid musical program has been
arranged. All the young people cf
the town are invited to enjoy the
evening’s entertainment.
