CORDOVA TAKES
EXCITING GAME
FROM SOLDIERS
BY H. E. (“BILL”) NYE
Cordova’s ball team continued its
unbeaten record for the season yes
terday when they brought home the
bacon again, defeating the Fort Lis
cum team at Valdez by a score of
9 to 8. However, it took eleven har
rowing innings to turn the trick, for
the soldiers battled valiantly to re
deem themselves for the other two
close defeats scored over them by the
Cordovans.
A good crowd witnessed the game,
there was much enthusiasm displayed
and the rooting for both sides was
strenuous but good natured. Cor
dova’s small rooters’ guard held their
own well with the Valdezans, espe
cially the ladies, who were unceasing
in their efforts to root their team to
victory.
Frederickson started the fireworks
for the visitors in the first inning writh
a bunt and a burst of speed which
landed him on first, Peterson displac
ing him on the initial sack writh a line
drive. Gilbert followed with a sacri
fice which advanced his teammates,
and through a fumble by Allen he
reached first base. The three runners
moved up on a passed ball, Frederick
son being thrown out at home plate.
Koch connected for a base hit, send
ing Peterson home for the maiden run
Not to be outdone, Chambers garnered
one, scoring Gilbert, but scored a put'
out for himself at first. Tad Matson
closed the festivities by hitting the
next offering into First Baseman
Coyer’s mitt.
Prater, the first home-guard batter,
miscalculated his territory and handed
a hot liner to the w'rong man, Short
stop Chambers, who sent the pill to
first a step ahead of the runner. Coyer
i
made first on a fly to deep right, but
was punished with a putout for trying
to steal second. Keckley didn’t see
what he could do with two down, so
he struck out.
Cordova’s chapter of events in the
second is short. Taylor hit to first;
Steele struck out; England made first
on a liner to short; Frederickson re
peated with a fly to center; Peterson
handed his offering to the shortstop
•and England was thrown out at third.
Hutchison hit to England, who sent
the pill to first to await his arrival.
Dike’s hit a liner which was nipped
at first by good fielding. Peterson
gathered in the fly Rogers sent his
way, and the home team wound up the
second with another blank.
In the third Gilbert and Koch both
made clean hits for one base. Cham
bers hit to short, beat the ball to
first and advanced Koch and Gilbert
to second and third. Matson’s fly to
left was accepted, but bad throwing
let in Gilbert and Koch. Taylor’s fly
to center failed to net him a base and
Chambers retired the side in attempt
ing to steal home.
Keckley hit to the pitcher, who
passed the buck to first. Murphy fol
lowed with the first two-base hit, after
ward stealing third. Allen reached
first on a walk and made second on
the run. Murphy scored on Hutchi
son’s hit to pitcher. Then followed
Dike’s two-bagger to center, bringing
in Allen and Hutchison. Rogers hit for
two sacks, moving Dike to third. Prat
er drew a bingle, scoring Dikes. Coyer
flew out to short and Baker’s hit to
left was without reward.
In the first half of the fourth Steele
and Frederickson were put out on
drives and England couldn’t see the
ball.
Manager Harry Steel thought it ad
visable to cut Chambers into, the box
in the last half of the fourth, nee Eng
land, whose wing was showing signs
of wear and affording too much com
fort to the enemy.
Murphy made a clean hit for one
base, after Chambers had shown Keck
ley the hole in his bat. Allen’s liner
got him to first, after Murphy stole |
—- “ I
second and advanced to third on a j
passed ball. Dikes retired the side
with a well-fielded drive to First Gate
keeper Gilbert.
In the fifth inning Peterson earned
passage to first on a fly to deep left,
Gilbert following with a fly-out at cen
ter. Koch failed to connect, but ar
rived on first through a fumbled hit
at short. Chambers’ clean hit to cen
ter scored Peterson. Matson and Tay
lor retired the side on well-fielded bin
gles.
For Liscum, Rogers hit out to
Chambers, Prater fouled out to same,
and Coyer was struck out ditto.
Steele hit to Prater in the sixth and
was retired, England struck out and
Frederickson fouled out to the catcher.
Baker and Keckley struck out for
Liscum and Murphy failed to profit
by his hit to Chambers.
Peterson opened for Cordova in the
seventh and earned a bag on a clean
hit to center. Gilbert struck out.
Koch connected for a one-bagger to
left, but Chambers and Matson closed
the first half of the inning by draw
ing blanks.
Allen opened for the warriors by
severely swatting a pitched ball with
his left arm and was carried with due
honors to first base, where Murphy
substituted. Hutchison found three
knot-holes in his swat-stick but made
the goal through a high throw' by
Frederickson. Murphy advanced to
third and scored on a bunt by Dikes.
Dikes and Hutchison both stole a b-ase.
Prater hit the ball but died at first
and Dikes and Hutchison both scored
on a passed ball. Coyer’s little balloon
ascension was captured by Frederick
son, thus stopping another threatened
stampede.
Taylor opened the eighth with a fly
to center, landing him on first. Steele
failed to connect on his hit to short.
Frederickson’s clean hit to left ad
vanced Taylor to third, followed by
Peterson’s two-base hit to center, scor
ing Taylor and Peterson. The fun
stopped when Gilbert was thrown out
at first.
Baker lined one to third which was
duly deposited at first; Keckley’s fly
was equally well fielded at first. Mur
phy ambled to first find stole second,
and Allen sent his team out to gj-aze
on a drive to Freddy.
In the ninth Koch struck out and
Chambers made first on a foxy fly to
left. Matson collected one base on
a drive to third. Chambers’ ambition
received a setback by a throw-out at
second, while Matson sleuthed it to
that bag. Taylor reached first on an
infield hit, promoting Matson to third.
Steele finished Matson’s sack race
with a deep center drive, while Taylor
picked he wrong time to steal third
and thus ended the chapter.
Peterson gathered in Hutchison’s fly
to first. Dikes’ fly produced better re
sults—two bags. Rogers promenaded
and Allen stole third. Prater hit to
second and scored Dikes, advancing
Rogers to third, only to retire on an
attempt to steal home. Coyer walked.
Baker put out at center on a forced
run.
Nine innings and an 8-to-8 show
down!
England banished the ball to left
field in the tenth and followed it to
first base. Frederickson popped out
to Pitcher Allen. England was caught
out at first and Peterson flew out to
third.
Liscum’s story is just as brief.
Keckley’s hit to third and Allen’s hit
to short ended in Gilbert’s mitt at
first, while Murphy simply couldn’t
see the pill.
Gilbert opened the last inning by
striking out. Koch made two bases
on a fly to deep center. Chambers
escaped to first after trying to kill
the pitcher. Taylor made a needed hit
and became a first-sack occupant
through Coyer’s fumble. Steele used
his body on the ball instead of bis
stick and painfully reached first, forc
ing England to score the winning run,
as Liscum’s first three batters in the
last half of the eleventh were
benched in one-two-three order.
The line-up and battings order fol
lows:
Liscum—Hutchison, ss.,; Dikes, cf.;
Rogers, 2b; Prater, 3b; Coyer, lb;
Baker, If.; Keckley, rf.; Murphy, c.;
Allen, p.
Cordova—Frederickson, 3b; Peter
son, cf.; Gilbert, lb; Koch, 2b; Cham
bers, ss .and p.; Matson, If.; Tay
lor, rf.; Steele, c.; England, p.
iTmpires—Connelly of Liscum and
Galen of Cordova.
Yesterday’s game points two sport
ing morals to adorn this tale. That
while Liscum has proven its title as
an aggregation of 100-per cent dead
game sports, the undefeated cham
pions of the Copper Gate city have
positively confirmed what has always
been the popular belief—that they are
the classiest bunch of real pinch-hit
ters in Alaska’s two-thousand-mile
pulp belt.

TACOMA SENDS
SCHOONER FOR
ESKIMO TRADE
TACOMA, Aug. 30 (by Associated
Press)/—Bound for Northern Siberia
to trade with Eskimos, the little 68
ton power schooner Iskum left Ta
coma recently with Captain “Kelly”
Olson, veteran Alaskan navigator, as
master. The boat’s prow was re-in
forced with boiler plate and her hull
sheathed with ironwood to protect her
from the ice she is expected to buck.
Rifles, sugar, tea, tobacco, calico,
and trinkets of all kinds made up the
boat’s $30,000 cargo. The crew hoped
to trade the cargo for skins, walrus
ivory and furs. They are going far
to the north, the captain said, “where
furs are cheap and rifles1 high.” '
The Siberian Colhmercial Company
sent the Iskum north. The company
recently purchased the schooner
Roosevelt and soon will send her in
to the Arctic. The Roosevelt, short
ly aft&r her construction, carried the
late Rear Admiral Robert E. Perry
part of the distance to the north
pole.
Four of the “sourdoughs” of the
northern trades accompanied by Cap
tain Olson are Iouis Olson, the mate
of the Iskum, who was with Vilhjal
mur Stefansson, Canadian explorer,
on an Arctic expedition; Carl John
son, one of the crew, who drove a
winning team in one of the Nome,
Alaska dog races; John Crawford, en
gineer, who is one of the few white
men who have lived on Banks -Land,
an isolated island in the Canadian
Arctic and Gus Peterson, cook, who
lived around Nome for about twenty
years.
Inquiry is being made down east
as to what has become of the farmer
who used to say “By heck!” it
seems that about everybody with
energy enough to say two words has
gotten himself a job in town.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 30 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Instead of fixing a
time for the recently arriving Guat
emalan diplomatic mission to call on
him at his presidential offices, Prov
isional President De la Huerta re
cently broke all precedents by unex
pectedly calling upon the Guatemal
ans at their own hotel.
At noon President De la Huerta'
presented himself at the door of the j
apartments occupied by Marcial Gar- j
cia Salas, minister for the Central ;
American republic. Surprised at this !
procedure, Senor Garcia Salas began j
the interview by profoundly thanking j
the Mexican president for his disre-1
gard of diplomatic conventions.
Later in the day, the Guatemalans I
called upon President De la Huerta at |
the national palace, and there the
representatives of two newly-formed
administrations— the Mexican and
the Guatemalan formally exchanged
recognition.

PEASANTRY OF
MEXICO WANT
LANDED HOMES
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 30 (by Associ
ated Press).—To satisfy the lancf-hun
ger of the Mexican peasantry, the
government is establishing farm col
onies in the states of San Luis Potosi
and Guanajuato. Other settlements
will be founded as soon as the first
two are completely launched.
In these colonies, the small proprie
tors will live like the Mormons in
Chihuahua and Sonora—each com
munity having its own streets, mar
ket, garden, mixed school and moving
picture theater. Apportionment of
the adjacent farm lands will be made
so that each petty landholder will
literally have his own “row to hoe,”
thus obviating one of the greatest
causes for the many recent uprisings
that have ocurred in Mexico. Each
farmer will be furnished with agri
cultxiral implements and seed.
These farms will be non-transfer
able in any form, whether by mort
gage, sale or exchange. They may
be inherited, however, and are to be
free from taxation.
It is planned to establish the pro
posed communities near railroad
lines so that the products will find
ready markets.
