‘Every grain of wheat our ports

Word has been received that the
Fairbanks baseball aggregation is
coming to Nenana 10 play a series
of ball games with the Nenana team,
and from all indications there prom
ises to be a good series of games.
It has been rumored that the Fair
banks team has added several new
players to their number, who are
recent arrivals in Fairbanks, and
they will try and beat our boys
down here like they did in the “Holy
City.”
A great many of the regular
baseball players were not able to
go to Fairbanks to play the series
started on June 21st last. So if the
Fairbanks team try and slip any
thing over on us in the way of
“dark horses” they will have to go
some, and if they move at all, of
course, they will go “some”. The
following is the list from which our
team in all probability will be picked:
Taylor, Ward, Meagher, Blakey,
Anderson, VanHouten, Doner, Fuel
ling, Crowden, Mathews, Slippern,
Johnson and Hansen. The players
should call a meeting and elect their
captain and manager and commence
to whip their material into shape.
Nenana can boast of having some
good baseball players who have
shown themselves to be away above
the average in any position they are
played. Taylor, Ward, Meagher,
Anderson, VanHouten, Doner and
Hansen, who have been seen in ac
tion heretofore, need no introduction
to the baseball fans, either as ball
players or athletes. The ball grounds
will be in the pink of condition in
a very short time, as th committee
in charge have had men plowing
and harrowing it for several days.
A new roller, which the Fourth of
July committee had made and which
will be used for all rolling purposes,
made its appearar ce for the first
;ime today, it is capable of exerting
i pressure of almost any number of
;ons and will make the ball grounds
is flat as the proverbial pancake.
The steamer Shusana will bring
:he players down with a number of
:heir rooters for 10 round trip, ^nd
Skipper Weber has made plans to
;ntertain them royally while they
jre on board, as well as to decorat
ng and to advertising. One unique '
way that he has used, outside of
Dhe usual newspaper method, is to
have a large sign painted and car
ried around the streets of Fair
banks by a man. The sign reads;
“Come to Nenana for the big cele
bration. The steamer Shusana will
leave July 3rd for Nenana, round
trip $10.” So Nenana, without a
doubt, can look forward to having
a big crowd of people here and en
joying a Fourth of July in the -..d'
old-fashioned way.
Everybody who expects to cop off
a prize had better start shaking
their feet a little and getting them
selves into shape. Fairbanks will
probably bring down some good men
other than ball players to compete
in all the events. Several of the
boys in town have been doing a
little secret track work, and one
runner coming in from camp 22
beat the train in by four minutes,
it is said. Of course, there are fast
and slow trains.
A communication in the form of
a challenge comes to hand from
Ralph Darling, Howard Haslem,
Bruce Hunting, Herb Wilson, Ken
neth Case, Tom Scott and Leon
Shoemaker, offering to take all
comers in a one-mile race (walk
ing or running) with a 100-lb sack
to be carried by each man (for bal
last) entering the race. It can be
reasonably said that Herb Wilson
Kenneth Case and Ernest Foster are
about the best pedestrians in this
neck of the woods, they having been
credited with doing their fifty miles
per day without apparently any
trouble, and if the trail had been
longer could have done lots more.
So the Nenana team who cares to
compete in this one-mile pack race
may leave their names with the com
mittee.
One of the features of the Fourth
of July celebration that has not al- j
ready been mentioned, is an equip-j
ment race, which will be entered
into by the soldiers stationed here.
They will all line up at a mark and
go ten feet, take their bayonet out
of its ca3e and lay it on the ground. ;
then go another ten feet and lay j
the rifle down, and so on until they j
have taken off their shoes, coats j
and leave enough clothing on to
protect themselves from the mos-j
quitoes. They will then turn around j
and dress and the man getting back
first to the starting point wins th<*
prize. This event is governed by
certain rules and will be in charge
of one of the soldier boys, who will^
see that they dress and undress
properly.
Another event not mentioned be
fore is a pony and sulky race. The
betting is now 2 to 1 in favor of
Walter Preston, who enjoys the
reputation of having planted more
potaties this year than any woman
in Nenana and having charge of the
fastest sulky horse that ever pawed
gravel. Mr. Preston has had much
experience in following hawses, and
can tell a fast hawse by simply
watching him run.
Rev. Diven and Mr. George Pen
nington will deliver the Fourth of
JulV orations, as they have been
strong factors in the past in bring
ing about the realization of our war
necessities by their powerful patri- J
otic utterances. Rev. Diven and Mr. j
Pennington are Nenana’s two most ^
prominent Four-Minute speakers and
have probably been heard more than
any two men in Nenana.
Another wonderful feature will
be Pete Schmidt’s battling terrors.
We are going to have a prize fight ^
and a real one, and it will be on the
square too. The fight is to be to a
finish and the two contestants for
the paperweight championship of the
Interior have been steadily training!
every day. “Kid” Noeller will fight'
“Battling” Campbell for a purse of :
$2.50 and both will weigh in at ap- i
proximately 381bs., ringside. Two- ]
ounce gloves will be used, the ref- J
eree will be Pete Schmidt. A mov-1
ing picture man will be on hand,!
both fighters having signed a con-'
tract relative to a royaltiy in the!
pictures. Tickets for ringside seats!
can be purchased at any of the.
local stores and by all reports they |
have been selling fast. These fight
ing youngsters have fought here in
public before, for the benefit, of j

Make your Reservations at the Portland

called a draw on account of one of
the fighters getting a tummy ache
(too much ice cream) and the other
getting tired.
Very shortly the streets will be
decorated with flags and bunting
and the town will take on the ap
pearance of a thrifty community
peopled with red blooded patriotic
Americans. Gef out that Star
Spangled Banner and let it float
proudly over “the land of the free

this Fourth of July should be cele

freedom, again for which we are
now fighting.
