FAIRBANKS TEAM
In what is said to have been one
of the best games of the season
the Nenana team went down to de
feat yesterday at Fairbanks by the
narrow margin of one run, the
score being four to three in favor
of the Fairbanks aggregation. In
some respects, particularly in field
ing, the Nenana boys made a better
showing than Fairbanks, and it is
said to have been largely a case of
hard luck that the score went against
them.
Nenana led off with two runs in
► the second inning and held the Fair
banksans down for several innings.
In the eighth inning the score was
tied, and Fairbanks managed to nose
in another run in the ninth.
Dewitt pitched for Fairbanks, and
Taylor and Blakey did the twirling
for Nenana with -Krause behind the
bat. Hupprich distinguished himself
in the field.
The excursion train which took
the Nenana players to Fairbanks
yesterday morning had more than
fifty passengers on board, and a
splendid outing is reported by those
who made the trip. The train left
Fairbanks about one o’clock this
morning on the return trip, arriving
at North Nenana between five and
six. The visitors were entertained
y- with a dance at the Auditorium last
night.
The second game of the post
holiday series probably will be
played in Nenana next Sunday, pro
vided the ymy airplanes do not
interfere, and it is reported that a
big crowd of Fairbanksans are plan
ning to make the trip.
Commissioner R. S. McDonald,
who went to the coast to confer
with Secretary Payne, as representa
tive of the Nenana Commercial club,
returned to town on the excursion
train this morning, having reached
Fairbanks Saturday night. Mr. Mc
Donald reached Seward too late to
see the secretary, owing to the fail
» ure of the steamship Northwestern
to arrive at Cordova on schedule
time.

CITY OF ANGELS
SCENE OF QUAKE;
CHIMNEYS FALL
LOS ANGELES, July 26.—Resi
dents of this city were awakened at
an early hour this morning by an
other severe earthquake, and a sec
ond but lighter shock was felt short
ly before ten o’clock. The early
morning shock was sufficiently se
vere to knock chimneys over and
scores of windows and much crock
ery were shattered.
The frequency of the disturb
ances has caused much uneasiness
throughout the city, many fearing
that the shocks will increase in
violence. Instead of getting used
to the shaking, nervousness is on
the increase and there is a general
rush of people for the streets at
the slightest movement of buildings.
There was a general emptying of
beds this morning when the first
shock occurred, and for a time the
streets were crowded with excited
residents in very scanty Attire. The
scene had much the appearance of
a nightgown party.
KANSAS WOMEN SCORE;
NEED NOT TELL AGE
TOPEKA, July 23.—According to
an opinion rendered today by At
torney-General Richard J. Hopkins,
women of Kansas may vote at all
elections, provided they are of vot
ing age. It is not necessary, the
decision says, for the women to dis
close their exact age, it being suf
ficient for them to swear that they
are 21 or more.
The decision is the result of an
appeal taken by the women follow
ing the refusal of the registry clerk
to permit them to register without
an exact statement as to age.
KETCHIKAN MAN SAYS
COAST IS UNSETTLED
Not in several years have busi

the South as at the present time,
according to J. R. Beegle, who re

several weeks in Seattle. With the
suspension of the shipbuilding in
dustry in Seattle, he says, there has
been a big loss of payroll, with the
unavoidable consejjuent result of a
general tightening of business.
As to the political situation, Mr.
Beegle found that there were some
disappointed Lowden, Wood, and
Johnson men, but they are gradu
ally recovering from their hurt and
all of them will be lined up strong
ly for Harding, he believes.

rival in town, having arrived on

says:
“LieutenantrGeneral Liggett de
clined recently to cut the sentence

SANDY HOOK. July 26. — Sir
Thomas Lipton will not abandon his
efforts to capture the America’s
cup should his Shamrock IV fail to
defeat the American defender Reso
lute in the present contest. The
'veteran challenger is sure his yacht
j will win the final race of the series,
but he says that defeat will not
discourage him from further effort.
In a statement made today, Lip
ton declared that he would immedi
ately issue a new challenge should
his boat lose, and will build a new
yacht to contest for the ^up in 1922.
Race Called Off.
The final race of the series for
the America’s cup was called off
i today when it was apparent that
neither yacht would be able to finish
within the time limit, and it is
probable that the winner will not
be known until tomorrow, when
another start, will be made.
I Resolute Ahead.
The Shamrock was first over the
.line today, getting away nearly a
minute ahead of the Resolute, with
a five-knot breeze blowing. At 1:5<J
the Resolute passed the challenger,
land at three o’clock was leading by
! three-quarters of a mile, neither
yacht, however, being more than
five miles from the starting line,
with the breeze light and fitful.
At five o’clock the Resolute had
a lead of two miles, but had cov
ered only nine miles of the course,
i which was fifteen miles to windward
land return. A dying wind made it
[impossible for the yachts to finish
j within the time limit and it was ac
cordingly decided to call the race
off.
