Fourth Of July [I
Joyously Greeted)
•S*
- . — - --- /.
The two day celebration of Inde
pendence Day ended Inst night with a
dance In Ragle Hall. The events were
all well contested, and everybody had
a good time, especially the little ones,
who accumulated considerable cash
as a result of their athletic efforts.
The first ball game was held Sunday,
and the remainder of the program was
run off yesterday.
The first event on the list was the
parade which was started from the
City Hall shortly before noon. The
youngsters who participated were
tastefully and artistically costumed,
and the parade wns an unqualified
success. Those noted in the parade
were. Uncle Sam, rwo clowns, two
big league baseball players, a China
man, a sailor boy, Martha Washing
ton, flower girl and Sis Hopkins.
The prize for the most comical l>oy
costume was aw-arded to William
O'Neill dressed as a clown. The most
comical girl’s costume was given to
Sis Hopkins represented by Alice
O'Neill. Elaine Bollinger carried off
the honors as the best sustained char
acter as Martha Washington.
Immediately after the parade the
gameB were started and were con
tinued until finished with the excep
tion of a short Interlude for lunch.
The events and the prize winners
were:
Girls under 10 years, 50 yards—1st,
Melba Norman; 2nd, Rlalne Bollinger;
3rd, Alice O'Neill, and Uenora Robin
son.
Girls over 10 years, 100 yards; 1st,
Dorothy Dooley; 2nd, Genevieve Ross
wog. Only the two ran. A dog
jumped at Genevieve, while she was
running and almost stopped her.
BASEBALL FANS
RIVEN RARE
TREAT
It Is fortunate Indeed for Cordova
that the big league scouts have not
yet started to infest this part of the
world, for should one of them have
witnessed the game between the Slug
gers and the Railroad Boys Sunday
afternoon, Cordova would be short
just 18 law-abiding citizens when the
next boat sailed south. It was some
close game, although the Railroad
Boys had the edge on the Sluggers,
noseing them out with a final 9 to 8
score.
The Sluggers put np a good game,
and only the break of the luck passed
them the second place. They feel
sure that with a new pitcher and
catcher, and short stop and Infield
and outfield, they could out-class the
boys from the shops. Anyway, it took
two engine pushers, Eddie Walsh and
■HOWIW
The Pitchers for the Railroad Boys
Naturally Issued a Few Passes
Oscar Larson to push the ball across
the plate for a short seven lnnlnga.
while the Sluggers went the whole
seven with only one, "Slim” Books
The fans believe If each one of these
fllngers had a little more control, a
better curve, and some speed, he
would be a fine pitcher.
The Railroad Boys had a bad Inning
in the third frame when the Schooner
Pilots unraveled the mystery of
Walsh’s curve ball and set ’em up to
the extent of seven runs.
Larson replaced Walsh in the fourth
and by damaging three or four Pilots
at the bat, so scared them that they
steered clear of his fust one the re
mainder of the game.
If th ePilots when batting had only
been able to plot a different return
course for the ball than to the
pitcher each time, they might have
had a real argument for a return
game.

When the games were concluded
the crowd went to the ball field and
watched the game between the Takus
nnd the Counter Jumpers. The boat
race was scheduled for 6:30 o'clock,
and a big bunch of gasoline enthusi
asts were at the City Dock to see the
start. The boats were handicapped,
and were sent away In the following
order: E. L. Harwood, Geo. Mosser,
Geo. Kennedy, N. J. Black, native
boat, Bill Ray and Harry Rolfe. The
race was two laps around the course,
On the whole It was a good game,
with clean .keen, good natured rivalry.

stopped, the score standing 0 to 3.
The second game In the world’s
champion series now being pulled of
In Cordova was played yesterday be
tween the Taku Tinkers and- the
Counter Jumpers. The game was
very close, not more than five rum
separating the winners from ths
losers. The feature of the game was
the pitching of Harwood for tlu
Jumpers. The Taku boys had con
siderable difficulty solving his curves

and Harry Rolfe, In the Pansy, gave
a fine exhibition of seamanship In £
figuring the tide on the various legs.
The Pansy caught the leader when ij:
about half way through the second £
lap. and was then compelled to finish
with but one cylinder working, mak
ing a fine race between It and the boat 6
captained by Oeo. Mosser, which won
the race by a scant 25 feet. The Pansy jij
finished second, the native boat third, j:j
Rill Hay, fourth and lllack, fifth.
The big crowd on the dock re- 3
mained throughout the race, and the ?
Interest was sustained. The dock 3
threatened to give way under the
weight of the spectators, and actually
did give an omnlous crack, sagging
about two feet, and forcing the people j:|
to scurry to a place of safety.
The ple-eatlng contest was held
after the boat race and the native boy,
Steve, who won last year, again left ?
all his competitors at the post, romp- -
lng home a winner so easily, that It
Is believed that he has a double
jointed two-cylinder mouth. The whole
town then adjourned to the Empress
Theater to see Mary Pickford, and
afterwards to dance the light fan
tastic at Engle Hall. When taps was
