BASEBALL PROSPECTS:
Practice has been resumed this week, after a lay-off of
about 7 days,-a well earned re eh after the 'iTn: tehorse victories* From
now on light practice iVi.ll bo in order to keep the team in shape to grab
of the let money in Juneau on July 4th. There is a possibility that tne
“Cambrai" may have a team, and if if does.a practice game will be arranged
while the transport is in por h. Efforts to get games with Skagv/ay seem
dubious of success,.as the Shag term has dona no playing since Vtfhitehorse,
and the mainstay of the Soapy Smiths,-our old pal iiaxwali is an honest
to-gooaness brak email on the 'i/hita Pass* and has to nut out, at last.
Prospects for a crackerjack team to enter the Juneau ser
ies look bright. Lt.Maertens has reported for practice,and gives promise
of furnishing the team with the one Thing that it needs,-the thing that
it didn't have last year-and thereby lost the Juneau series,-namely-a
third pitcher. ’’Tommy" Butler, the Alaskan Champ of the Squared Circle,
will also provide pitching support, as soon as has hurling hand heals,
while the outfield has received a premising recruit in Roeske,of "F",who
seems to be able to sting the old apple to a fare-you-well,and can garner
in the lifters in addition^ Jones,who. it was feared,would be lost
to the team bv being sent to the States on the ”Central" may possibly re
main, as is devoutly hoped,-and that will leave the present million-dollar
infield of Jones, Cole, Por ter, and Wilson.. 3 ntaot. All we’ve got to say on
the coming Juneau series is,-that if the down- channel teams cop-they ve
got to go some. . , .
PRACTICE will be held T0IJ1GIU1, vFriday),at 6.30,and on
Tuesday and Friday of next weekj unless tfO’.ace to tne contrary is given.
TENNIS MATCHES UNCERTAIN:
Owing to the rush o* events a.t the present time,
Coal passing, -the Congressional visit, etcc, 6.to», -the tennis enthusiasts
are rather up against it in playng off thei r* patched.
After the departure of the "Canbrai", it is hoped,
the net stars may be able to get together for a battle to determine the
championship of. the Barracks*
IF THIS IS TRUE-"Goodbye, Douglas": < _
From the Juneau Emrire of June 2nd comes
the following item of interesting information:
1 Bob Goes Fishing"
• Robert Coughlin,(of Douglas) left this week on
the Estebeth to spend the summer fishing in the vicinity
of Killisnoo.”
And if this is true,-that "Bobby",who is the whole works of the
Douglas ball team, from his place behind the bat,-has gone fishing - for
the summer", - the Douglas fa* s may gee ready to hand the 1st mo ney..for
the Juneau 4th of July seri-s right over. Modesty forbids us to say to
whom that 1st prize money s lould be handed*
