IOCIL IGfflEUTl
BEFHTFO Mil
In a game replete with much hitting
and tight fielding the Sew-ard ball
team took the measure of the team
off the cutter Algonquin by a 10—1
score. Due to the darkening skies and
a drizzle of rain the game was called
| in the 7th inning, with Seward having
two on and one out. The game open
ed in a slight downfall of Oregon mois
ture but that did not prevent a num
ber of dyed-in-the-wool fans and fan
nettes from attending. The ship was
well represented with members of the
crew who pulled hard for a win but
the local pillchasers had on their figlK
ing togs and but for a questionable de
cision at the plate a shut-out might
have been registered against the jolly
tars.
The first inning resulted in a blank 1
for both sides; the Algonqins took the!
lead in the second when a base run-j
ner was called safe at the plate on
what would have been the third out. I
Seward drew a blank in the second j
but put two over in the third. From
this inning on the bases were
loaded with locals, some scoring, otn |
ers being left on the bags. In the
sixth and seventh the heavy hitters
got in their work by scoring team
mates on the cushions until, with one
out in the seventh, ten runs had been
chalked up and the game called on
account of darkness.
The line-up:
Algonquin—Dorshy, lb; Daniels, 3b:
Smith, ss.; Cannon, c.; Bell, 2b; New
land, If.; Buckalow, p.; Heinz, cf.;
Ding fell, rf.
Seward—Smith, cf.; Goodsky, ss.;
Durgin, rf.; Manthy, c.; Barndollar,
Is*.; Woodward, If.; Hannon, 3d;
Painter, 2nd; Tver, p.
It is the opinion of the fans that
Seward has an excellent infield this
season and other promising material
for the outfield positions. When the
new diamond is in shape a good arti
cle of ball will be given patrons of
the game—and on that point the sug_
gestion is offered that next week be
made “baseball week,” wherein ever\
person interested in the game get out
evenings and in their spare time and
help put the ball grounds in condition
for good baseball. The working fund I
is nil and a community movement !
would be deeply appreciated by the
players, who receive nothing for their
efforts to entertain.
BASEBALL DANCE TONIGHT
COMMENCES AT 9 O’CLOCK

j Seward this year is better than for
1 many years and it will be to the inter
• ests of those interested in promoting

MORE MEN FOR SECTIONS
A freight train left this noon for the

? distribution at the various sections
between Seward and Anchorage. With
the coming of the summer months the
commission will employ still more
men to bring the roadbed and track

f arrived from the states say that there
i is a scarcity of labor along the Pa
1 ciflc coast and much difficulty is had
