SEWARD’S BALL TEAM
The Seward baseball club, under
able management is not lacking the
stamina which goes to carry the
National pastime thru the entire sea
son. It has happened time and again,
in almost any town in Alaska that
just before the big 4th, every man
that packs a hand that fits a mitt
will usher himself out voluntarily
to the ball ground and put in the
regular “daily dozen” in anticipation
of gaining the offering on the Natal
Day. Then, the day is past and the
ball season usually relegates itself,
sort of automatically into oblivion.
But, again we say that Seward citi
zens should look with pride to the
sturdy followers of the game that
they have stuck with it and are still
hard at it and out for any existing
laurels that may be attached to their
long list. The game to be played
in Seward Sunday with the Anchor
age lads is being “bought,” which
goes to show7 the spirit in which the
local players are entering the field.
The game should have the attend
ance of every Sewardite and should
be encouraged in a manner that will
add longevity and not take on the
old ephemeral air which so long has
had the ruling hand.
FRENCH SECURITY.
With bitter opposition in England,
with Italy non-committal and1, with the
United States holding aloof, it ap
pears that the proposed treaty guar
anteeing security for France against
German aggression will not be signed
by world powers.
If the so-called security pact shall
be ratified at all by Great Britain
there will probably be numerous res
ervations tacked on to the treaty as
it now stands. The situation is sim
ilar to that which exists in the United
States with respect to the League of
Nations. In fact, some of the lan
guage used by opponents of the pro
position sound quite familiar.
France, herself, has done nothing to
insure the peace of the world. She
has kept an immense standing army
since the armistice was signed, and
at the present time is endeavoring to
subdue the Riffians, a liberty loving
tride in Morocco. Unless she with
draws her armed forces to her own
land and demobilizes there is grave
danger that other nations may be
come embroiled in the Moroccan af
fair. Spain is also using her troops
to help subdue the Riffians under
that interepid chieftain Adb del Krim,
who up to the present time has met
all comers with honors even.
From this distance it appears that
lack of money is all that stands in
the way of further wars in Europe
right now. Politically the situation is
far worse than it was in the early
part of 1914, with the difference that
the belligerent nations are bled white
of men and arms,

IS PUBLICATION FAIR?
> _
While the United States Supreme
Court has ruled that publication of
amounts of income tax paid by firms
and individuals is lawful under the
1924 tax law (which seems to have
been the only possible decision) the
question is raised as to the propri
ety of such publications.
Should the profits accruing to tax.

SEWARD TEAM TO
PLAY INLETERS
SUNDAY 1 P. M.!
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED
FOR BIGGEST GAME OF
SEASON, SUNDAY.
TEAM HERE SATURDAY
E*i Route to Cordova, Fast Inlet “9”
Will Show Wares Few Hours
Prior to Departure.
Through contributions received
yesterday from various business peo
ple and residents of Seward, Cap
tain Rood of the Seward baseball
team raised a sufficient amount of j
cash as a guarantee lo the Anchor
age champs for a game in Seward
Sunday afternoon. The first guar
antiee was too much for the locals
i
to raise for the one game and it j
was decided to let the opportunity!
to take the Anchorage team intoj
camp, pass by the board. Upon the !
refusal of the locals the Inlet aces!
came back with the second proposi- j
tion which was accepted.
Therefore, on Sunday afternoon at j
the one o’clock hour, the townfolk I
and the many tourists who will ar- J
rive on the S.S. Yukon, will have the |
chance of witnessing, which in all
probability, should be the fastest
game of baseball this season. The
local giants went at it hard and
heavy last, night and practice will
continue tonight, tomorrow night and
Sunday morning.
The Anchorage picked team, is
probably the fastest in Alaska, so if
the locals have any luck at all and
can sink ’em, what a reputation they
will acquire! The Inlet outfit is on
the way to Cordova where a three
game series are to be played. These
two teams have been rivals for
years. The last time they met at
Anchorage and the Copper City
team mopped up on the Anchorage
lads, three games in succession.
| Dr. Mayo, famous Minnesota sur
geon, figures that the value of chemi

Spain has more sunny days than

Use of various natural waters for

Factories in Great Britain are not

hours in any one day.
any more than the incomes of indi
viduals should be published? There
are different views of course, but it
appears as if the law interfered with
personal liberty more or less, and ex
posed a man’s business to the eyes of
his competitors, always ready to take
advantage.
Those against publicity argue that
it violates a pledge made by the gov
ernment in order to secure ratifica
tion of the income tax amendment by
the states, it having been promised
at the time that returns would be held
confidential.
Further, that publicity gives busi
ness rivals an opportunity to take ad
vantage of a concern that may be
losing money or short of cash; that
it furnishes material for gossip, often
unjust, because a simple statement
of the amount of tax paid is very mis
leading unless al the circumstances
are known.
Lastly, that it tends to tempt tax
payers to falsification when a true
return would arouse public criticism.
The point which seems most impor
tan to The Gatway is that it gives
opportunity for busybodies and med
dlers to profit by the tax statements,
in case they care so to do. Carried
to its logical conclusion this principle
would remove all privacy from busi
ness and open all books and corres
pondence to the inquisitive gaze ol
the public.

GAME TONIGHT
SEWARD VERSUS
U. S. CABLESHIP
The Dellwood’s team of ball tossers
were out on the Seward dock this
morning, warming up for tonight’s
baseball game with the local aggre
gation. There are on board the cable
ship Dellwood a number of university
players who have considerable base
ball ability, which will help much in
the attempt this evening to smother
the cocky Seward bunch, who with
the exception of one game, have spear
ed all the games this season, which
to date are five. The game will start
promptly at 6:30 o’clock and it is
hoped a large crowd of fans will turn
out en masse to boost the boys along
and watch them strut their stuff.
Rev. R. v. B. Dunlap, pastor of
the local Methodist Church announc
es that 25 members aboard the Yu
kon tomorrow, members of the Chris
tial Endeavor Society will sing at
the program which will be held at
the local church at 7:30 tomorrow
night. Many notables will lecture
it is understood.
\Y. P. Mealey, former storekeeper
at Warehouse No. 2, and the mate
rial yards of the Alaska Railroad,
recently assigned to special work,
arrived in Seward last evening from
the Anchorage headquarters.
