VALDEZ FAILED
The Cordova ball team covered It
self with glory yesterday by taking
Its old rivals, the Valdez club. Into
camp by the decisive score of 14 to 1.
Fully four hundred fans were present
and yelled themselves hoarse as the
local players swatted the ball or made
• brilliant fielding plays. From a spec
tator's standpoint the game was all
that could be desired, interspersed
Pitcher Allen Had Nothing But His
Glove.
with plenty of clean, long drives and
fast fielding on the part of the Cor
dova boys. In fact their playing and
team work was an agreeable surprise
to the rooters, who were given every
opportunity to expand their lungs, and
placed the members of the team in
the A1 class.
Miller was in fine form, and held
Valdez scoreless throughout the game,
He had speed, deceptive curves, per
feet control of the ball, and the visit
ors were completely at his mercy, al
lowing but a few scattered hits off his
delivery. He was ably backed up by
catcher Ripley, his right wing heading
off many attempted stolen bases
Conway, Frederickson, Nourse and
Manseth showed class in the infield,
accepting many difficult chances. The
outfielders, Rogers, Truckee and Coun
Pitcher Miller Had Them Eating Out
of His Hand.
Oil, took everything that came their
way, and the snappy game played by
all of the team left no doubt in the
minds of the fans that we have a
strong aggregation of ball tossers.
They were also there with the willow,
which was wielded most effectively.
Ripley and Council led the batting with
two two-base hits, while Manseth
brought In three runs with his long
drive for two bases. Nourse. Fred
ericqson and Conway also secured two
baggers, while every player slugged
the ball for singles.
Allen, of Fort Liscum, started in to
pitch for Valdez, but the Cordovans
soon tired of running around the bases,
as twelve runs were piled up in three
innings. Ills support was also very
■agged. Blackburn relieved him in the
fourth Inning, and from then to the
finish of the game It was mor^ inter
esting, as but two runs were scored
The score by innings follows:

camera and took photographs of both
teams.

The local team showed lots of *'pep''

team.
The improved condition of the dia
mond was very noticeable ami much
appreciated by the players.
Seward will be the next out of town
team here, and will likely play July
2, 3 and 4.
The Seward team had its first tryout
yesterday and the fans there feel
confident thut they have the material
for a winning club.
Ripley is playing the game all the
time, and to his generalship can be
attributed the excellent team work
of the local men.

way, the two former making sensation

The liberality of the patrons is best
expressed in the contribution of

passed yesterday.
The Valdez boya are a good natured,
gentlemanly lot of ball playera, who
made many friends during their brief
stay in Cordova.

players and public.
There will be no practice tonight,
but all of the local players are expect
ed to report at the park tomorrow
evening between 7 and 7:30 o'clock.
Dougherty is credited with the only
run Valdez made, and this he secured
by Ripley throwing out a runner at
tempting to Bteal second base.
Council and Ripley each had two
two base hits to their credit, while
Nourse, Manseth and Fredcrickaon
also clouted the ball for a two bagger.
George Dooley certainly knows how
to talk the fans out of their money—
and they always part with their coin
cheerfully and liberally.
Bob Gottschalk is always willing
to lend a helping hand to the ball
team, and yesterday he marked out
the diamond and also furnished lee
water for the playera.
Miller was certainly there with "tne
goods" in the pitcher's box. and al
though it was his first game this sea
son, he had the Valdez team practical
ly at his mercy.
"Dad" Allen was touched up for all
kinds of singles and doubles during
the first three innings he pitched for
Valdez, but Blackburn kept the hits
made off him well scattered, and but
two runs were scored during the re
mainder of the game.
Manager Conley, of the Valdez team,
ieclares that he has as fast an Infield
as there is in Alaska, but his boys
were handicapped on account of our
ilamond not being in as good shape

UMPIRE KEEPS
GAME CLEAN
ALL TIME
(By United Press)
NEW YORK. June 16. — "Pushed
Into the background, unnoticed, but
performing his duty day after day,
the umpire leads a sorry life. Rut he
has the satisfaction of knowing It Is
he and no other who has upheld the
Integrity of baseball, kept It free from
suspicion all the days of Its existence,"
declared one of the oldest arbiters In
the game recently.
"Don’t show me an umpire,” he
said, "who never was threatened with
violence at the hands of a bunch of
rabid baseball bugs. He Isn’t a real
umpire. The close ones have to go
against somebody, and a man who
makes all his close ones count for the
home club Is a bad man for the game.
"Baseball players will cheat because
that's what they're taught to do. They
will cut a base If they can. They will
do anything they think they can get
away with. The home fan calls him
a smart man, cute and clever, and the
umpire has to catch these slips. He's
got to make that man walk the line
right. It's the man out there in blue,
reviled by the fans, unnoticed when
good things are said of the game, that
Is keeping this game clean.
“I walked into the gate of a base
ball park today as a woman with a
child entered. She saw us and laughed
at us. and she actually told the little
boy to laugh at us. She was teaching
that child to call us robbers when he
grows up. It is disgusting.
"But so long as baseball is the hard
tight affair that It Is now, so long as
the public wants to see the hard
fought games It's going to be that
way. A ball player will fight till he
drops to win a point in a base
ball game. Only the umpire is ex
pected to have a clear head. He has
to have the nerve to enforce the rules
of the game every time something
happens. No matter what It Is he
haB only one course to take — the
right one. It certainly Is lie who Is
keeping the game free from criticism,’
