LOKAL ANESTHETICS
The Elite Bankers will tangle to
night with IShellhorn’s City Merch
ants. There’s going to be many a
mussed up bank cheek and sales slip,
we fear, ere the curtain rings down
on ithe nine innings, as the Bankers
are determined to start winning this
very day; while the Merchants aver
that they are going to step all over
their foes regardless of social (posi
tion or standing.
Six games have (been played in the
league, to date, and the teams stand
as follows:*
Nile Park _ 2 0 1000
Cable Office . 2 2 667
Seward Merchants .2 500
Bankers . 0 3 000
Considering that the Banker’s line
up includes McBwan, Hannan, Rob
erts, Hickman, Bolem, Ratliff and
Barnett, one wonders that a team
so .strong should find itself in ithe
basement. However, J. P. Hannan,
since his injury three weeks ago, has
been lost to the team, and in their
game against the Cable Office last
Thursday, were without :the services
of Ratliff and McBwan. In the bus
iness of winning ball games each
team can only -be most effective
when it has all of its members pres
ent all of the time.
Jack Lien, who pitched for the
Operators in their lasit encounter,
will be remembered by oldtimers as
being one of the star pitchers of the
Territory when outdoor baseball was
enjoying a hey-dey here. Lien was
the only twirler, secured by. Anch
orage, that ever defeated Seward.
The Lokal gymnasium, and our
new found pastimes played therein,
are reaping their casualty toll from
among the pleasure seekers; going
up Fourth avenue thruout the day
you can count ’em on your fingers.
Tom Dyer, who was iperhaps number
one, ha^ scarcely recovered from a
twisted ankle; Jack Hannan does
not expect to get his knee hack in
shape for several months; Bud Dyer’s
broken finger has a mortgage on his
pastjming for at feast two more
weeks and Harold Painter is under
going a very painful week with a
sprightly Charley -horse, Which he
sprung last Thursday night in col
liding with Robison’s ibony hip. Hop
kin’s is just getting about, and thats
all, due to an attempt to “hook into
second base.
The hanaoauers are ever busy;
Snyder and Roberts were crowing
over (the (fact that they finally took
a series from Painter and Hopkins,
when along came Prof. Barnett and
Jessen to challege (the winners. The
quartet played six games. Joke: ask
Snyder how many games he and his
partner won out of the six.
That Prof sure can make a wicked
return of the little black sphere, and
if he’d go after ’em a Ibit more he’d
be the unbeatable kid, without a
doubt.
Basketball players are reminded
that Coach McDwan will be on hand
Wednesday evening and a real work
out is on the program. A good turn
out of all athletes is expected.
C. O. Thatcher, railroad fireman,
came over on the .passenger train
this week and returned on same to
Anchorage this a. m.
“Scotty” McPherson, well known
Seward man is turning out some
swell coloring for local photogra
phers. His colors may be seen at
the Alaska Shop who have exclusive
sale for his works.
THE SEWARD
Weekly Gateway
Will be published every Friday, the
first issue appearing in February
THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE in
the field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of neary
e0nie* It will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and Te -
ritorial News, as well as news of the mining and fishing industries. The Seward
Weekly Gateway will have nearly exclusive, entry to the vast district west of Sew
ard owin" to geographic location, and will have a splendid staff of correspondents
£each camp! Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the
Weekly Gateway as it will be more in line with what they expect m a week y paper.
We believe this new venture will prove sucessful inasmuch as it will offer a e -
tising medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published m Seward, foi a time at
least, it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublication, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be 50 cents per inch per issue or $-.00 per month.

Valade to ithe robber (for the Mer
chants, and it is expected (that the
Bankers have Prof. Barnett shoot
his dizzy slants at the foeman batters.
A fast game is looked for.
'The players will be agreeably sur
prised to find that the obstructing
and dangerous platform along the
north wall of (the hall has been re
moved today, and new flooring laid;
resulting from a contract let to Pete
Peterson (Saturday.

In Juneau Theater
Mrs. “Happy” Elliott Fairman, wife
of Donald Fairbanks, organist and
■pianist of Anchorage, rwas among
the Inlet residents arriving in Sew
ard Saturday en route to the south.
Mrs. Fairman who is probably the
foremost violinist in the Territory

Mr. Fairman plans joining his
wife in Juneau following the con
clusion of the present school term,

Hotel Van Gilder.
