THE DOPE FOR THE COMING SEASON:
Now that the baseball days are apparently over
the Athaleets of the Post are looking around for new avenues
in which to expend their surplus energy. The first thing on
the docket seems to be a -ennis tournament,-which will prob
ably be staged just as soon as a supply of rackets can be
secured for the companies, There are several good wielders
of the racket on the Post,and we have heard it said that the
runner-up of the Tennis Tournament of the A,F*in G, is a mem
ber of the far-famed but unlucky HQ,Co, \7e know of certain
others who swing a mean net-arm,and so if the utensils of the
sport,which have been ordered show up we should see some good
matches before very long,
Some of the more violently inclined are anxious
to take up the real Autumn sport of reetbail,—the Rugby kind,
Just now these hopefuls expect to get any opposition we don*t
know, for the Ruff sport- simply isn*t being played in Alaska,
not this year,- doncherknow,Or any other year,as far as we can
learn.But as there1 s enough-officers now on the Post to make
an eleven of,there may be a chance for a few broken heads to
be collected,
Basketball will soon be started,in about a month,
and the official Bowling Season will be opened at about the
same time. So all in all,it looks like a hectic winter for
the Athaleets.
