The Cordova ball team had no diffl
rulty yeatcrdny afternoon In winning
two games from the U. S. S. Saturn
club. In fact the latter aggregation
was no match for the local giants, and
after the leather-chasing started the
fielders for the visitors were kept
on the run most of the time.
There were two contests of seven
Innings each. In the first Sennls oc
cupied the box for Cordova, and al
lowed his opponents but four hits,
striking out eleven men. Hlpley, Sny
der and Johanson lead in the batting
for the home team, making six of the
eight hits secured. Tuik did the twirl
ing for the visitors, with Adler as
backstop. Gee, at second, made a sen
sational catch of a fly ball. Cordova
won by a score of 7 to 1.
In the second game, Harwood wns
in the box for Cordova, and he had
the Saturn boys at his mercy. But
four hits were secured and eleven of
them fanned the air. Ripley was be
hind the bat in both games, and, as
usual, put up a fine article of ball. The
visitors were weak in their pitching
staff, a total of sixteen hits being se
cured by our sluggers. Council, Jo
hanson and Harwood each having
three. With the bases full, Council
made a long drive to center for a
home run, and Increased the tally by
four scores. When the game ended
Cordova had piled up 17 runs, while
the Saturn had but 2.

APPROPRIATIONS TO STAND
FOR LEGISLATIVE HALLS.
/ -
Word comes from Washington that
the question as to whether or not con
gress should provide for housing the
Alaska territorial legislature or wheth
er that duty should fall upon the ter
ritory, came near losing half of the
additional appropriation for the Ju
neau public building. The informa
tion 1b that someone in the treasury
department Informed the committee
on territories that the housing of the
legislature was not n proper charge
on the federal treasury. Chairman
Frank Clark, of the committee on pub
lic buildings, thereupon wrote Dele
gate James Wlckersham a letter, In
which he stated that unless he could
show proper precedents that would
constitute a fair precedent for the
appropriation of money for quarters
for the legislature, the committee
would recommond that the additional
appropriation for the building be fixed
at $150,000, but If he could show pro
per precedents the appropriation
would be $300,000.
In the brief submitted to Chairman
Clark it was shown that the federal
government had built capitol buildings
for practically all of the territories, av
eraglng from $20,000 to $50,000, with
lands for sites, and additional allot
ments of lands for state capitol build
ings when the territories were admit
ted as states.
The showing was such that the com
mittee on public buildings decided to
let the additional appropriation stand
at $300,000.

the fortunate ones have indicated
their selections they will be allowed
