11N THE FIELD OF SPORTS T
--
LOOM. CLUB 111
SETTLES DOWN
The first real practice of the Cor
dova ball team took place last evening
and most of the members were
on deck and benefitted greatly. It is
the intention to have all the boys re
port at the park every evening at 7:30
o’clock sharp, whenever the weather
permit*. ’In this way the best results
can be obtained and the local club
put into shape so that it will make a 1
creditable showing against all com- (
ers. That we have the material here
for one of the best ball aggregations j
in Alaska there is no doubt, but team s
work is necessary to win games. There <
were a number of now men out to t
practice last evening, and as the man- t
agement is desirous of having the best i
team available represent Cordova on t
the diamond, all ball tossers are in
vited to report at the park every even- |
ing, so that the final selection of the f
regular club can be made from those l
who show class and take sufficient a
interest in the game to turn out for
, .practice. a
Or. Council was on deck last night a
and again demonstrated that he is t
"still in the game.” and knows how to h
drive the leather all over the lot. w
Hendrickson, who played third base s
for the Blum, O'Neill team last Sun- ti
day, has already become a favorite
with the fans,'and enn cover any in- t<
field position. d
Conway is a fast player and with e
his long reach covers lots of ground tc
at first. g
Nourse is in the game all the time, pi
and there is no better third baseman
in the territory. m
Rogers, Beebe and Taylor showed hi
up well in practice, and will prove in
valuable acquisitions to the team. K
Several of the players were unable ol
to show up last night, hut all of them pi
expect to report at the park tonight. tl
Mid-Week Ball Games.
i he uncertainty of the weather on
Sunday, frequently resulting in a post- °
ponement of the game scheduled, has 11
resulted in a demand on the part of a
the fans for mid week baseball, and a
the probabilities are that some games a
will be arranged for the evening. They U
can he called about 7 or 7:30 o'clock
■■ ]p up;—whenever the days nro clear H
and bright.
Valdez Claims to Have Grievance.
Manager Conley, of the Valdez team,
has the following to say regarding the te
visil of the Seward team to Cordova u:
on Independence Day:
“In answer to the Seward baseball f(
team’s proposition of stopping at Val- J
dez after playing at Cordova on the 1
Fourth of July, the management of b
the Valdez baseball club wishes to say, n
that both Cordova and Seward owe ns <1
a return game, we having gone to their 11
towns for the last three years, und If ll
neither of them can come to Valdez 1
for the Fourth of July celebration, we 1
do not wish to be ‘second fiddle’ in s
their orchestra. We will go to no ex- I
pense to hold the Seward team here r
for a game on their return trip, 1 ut c
if their boat stops long enough m en- <
able them to play we will gladly give 1
them a game.”

NEW YORK. June 12. — Heavy
fisted, fast thinking, clean living Ben
' ny Leonard is a worthy successor to
the marvelous boxers who have worn
the crown of the lightweight division.
Leonard is not a Joe Cans in every
thing. but (Jans never was a more fln
; Ished puncher, there never was more
power in his black fists than in the
jflashing flails that hang from Leon
ard's shoulders. He is not an Ad
1 Wolgast nor a Terry McGovern in fe
rocity of attack. He is not a Nelson
in a savage ability to keep on tak
j ing punishment. But Leonard com
bines the best virtues of all of these.
Ills head bears no marks of vicious
blows. He is young and clean. He
should be nble to last a long time as
leader.
Leonard gives every credit to his
mother for his victory over Freddie
Welsh.
“She has made me live right. It is
my mother who keeps me in condi
tion." he declared after the bout with
Welsh.
Leonard is idolized among New York
Hebrew residents. Himself a Hebrew,
he has gathered a following wonder
ful in its proportions, and his person
ality carries him into the hearts of
the thousands of other fight lovers in
New York.
