SIGNAL CORPS
BEATS BANKERS
SCORE OF 20-19
SECOND GAME OF SERIES WON
BY CABLE MEN—BANKERS
BLOW UP IN ELEVENTH
The Signal Corps indoor baseball
team defeated the Bankers last night
at the S. A. C. by the score of 20 to
19. The game went 11 innings before
the Signal Corps annexed the winning
run, the last of the eleventh. The
first part of the inning the Bankers
were three runs in the lead but a
series of flukes and loose playing per
mitted the cable team to shove four
runs across the platter, not only tying
the score but taking the game.
The game was probably the most'
closely contested of the winter series
and the practice of the past few weeks
demonstrated there has been a de
cided amount of teamwork developed,
which in this popular indoor pastime
is what brings home the bacon.. Lit
tle squabbling was noted and the um
pire’s decisions rang out sharply and
accurately throughout the entire game.
Joe Badger, former big league player,
took care of balls and strikes and
Paulsteiner handled the bases in a
clean-cut manner.
For the Signal Corps, Snyder hurled
in his usual heady style with Mc
Laughlin, a former Pacific Coast Lea
gue backstop, supporting him ably.
For the Bankers, Hannon performed,
tying the batters into knots. Shell
horn held him splendidly. Both pitch
ers were hit freely and a few walks
were granted. Occasionally each team
wculd snap out of it and make fasi
plays.
The line-up:
Signal Corps—Robison 1st, Tinkler
3d, Snyder pitcher, McLaughlin catch
er, Guest ss., Protzman 2b, McNally
rf., Sheldon If, Henrikson cf.
Bankers—Shellhorn, c.; Rood, lb,
Hannon p, Barnett 2b, Swetman 3b,
Roberts rf, Jessen ss, Leslie If, Blue

At the conclusion of the game by
popular vote it was decided that the
two losing teams of the series banquet
the two winning teams. This will be
in February or March.

ENROLLMENT AND
COSTS OF SCHOOL'
YEAR SHOWN
GROWTH IN HIGH SCHOOL EN
ROLLMENT GRATIFYING
TERRITORIAL REPORT
General school expansion more than
offsets the increased costs, in shown
4n the 1924-1925 report just publish
ed in the Alaska Sohool Bulletin,
a copy of which was recently sup
plied the Gateway:
School expenditures in Alaska
continue to increase but at a rate
which should not occasion alarm.
During the school year 1924-25, the
sum of $453,501.38 was expended
for the maintenance of elementary
and high schools. This figure rep
resents an increase of but $5,817.38
over expenditures made during the
previous year.
However, the schools expanded in
other directions than are represent
ed by /dollars and cents. The enroll
ment grew from 3,975 for the school
year 1923-24 to 4,162 for the school
year 1924-25, representing an in
crease of 187. A total o/f 199 teach
ers were employed during the school
year 1924-25 as compared with 186
for the previous year, an increase
of 13. The total number o*f schools
maintained in 1924-25 was 77,
wihereas but 74 were in operation
during the previous year.
The growth in high sofiool enroll
ment is especially gratifying. But
464 students were enrolled in high
schools both inside and outside in
corporated towns during the school
year 1923-24. This number grew
to 527 during the school year 1924
