Two more names were added to

dates are Sumner S. Smith, president
of the Alaska Minerals Company and

NEW GASOLINE CAR HERE
FOR ALASKA RAILROAD
A new gasoline motor driven car, the
M-107, arrived on the freighter La
touche yesterday and it will be placed
in service by the Alaska Railroad as
soon as it is pronounced mechanically
perfect by the shop employes. The car
is powered with a 150 horsepower dei
sel motor, and has a compartment for
the engineer, a baggage and mail
room and will seat about 40 passen
gers. It will be more economical for
operation than a passenger train.
The car will be taken to Anchorage !
within the next day or so under its
own power.
A. F. Davis of the Alaska Transfer
will leave soon for the States where
| lie will spend a few weeks visiting
i his children, who are attending school
: in Seattle.

tion of Mrs. H. E. Ellsworth so im

A communication from John E.
Ballaine appears in another part of

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS
In conformity with the usual cus
tom bills have been mailed out to all
subscribers in arrears and where they
are over due 30 to 60 days the paper
cut off. The postal laws require that
all subscriptions must be paid in ad
vance or be paid up to date, in order
to take advantage of the lower postal
rate.
One of the decisions affecting the
assigning of new' indoor baseball
players, as reached by the board of
arbitrators who very efficiently
blocked a near fued that threatened
the sport locally a few weeks ago,
w'as that no additional plavers would
be permanently assigned to teams,
excepting when four new men were
available, and then they w'ould be
assigned by the beard to whichever
team the board deemed needed their
rspective services most. In order,
howrever, that no on6 or two new men
be made to w'ait until four could be
secured, before being permitted to
I participate in league, games, their’s
would be a “floating” connection with
the league, and all of the four teams
entitled to use them in their line-ups
thereby rounding out two eight teams
each playing night.
TONIGHT’S LINE-UP
The line-up at the S. A. C. gym to
night for the indoor baseball game
follows:
Giants—Tinkler, 3b; T. Dyer, lb;
Hopkins, 2b; Painter, c; I. Dyer, p;
Andresen, ss; Paul, rf; Swetmann, If.
Yankees—Urbach rf; Sheldon, 2b;
McEwan, lb; Hickman, 3b; Rucker,
If; Barnett, p; Snyder, c; Tyler, ss.
Two new'faces will be seen in the
line-ups when the Giants, occupants
of first position in the league race,
battle the merry Yankees on the in
door basball diamond tonight; Dr.
Tyler, of Ontario, Oregon, whose
presence here permits Dr. Roberts to
be near his convalescing wife, and
Clarke Andresen one of the smart
est and most popular young athletes
in this part of Alaska. Clarke needs
no introduction to Seward folk who
marveled at his speed ability as a
member of the former Anchorage
high school basketball teams. His
connection writh the local firm of
Brown & Hawkins makes a valuable
asset to the town’s athletic circle as
well.
Because Ted McEwan, coach of the
men’s basketball team does not wish
to put his players thru a strenuous
workout on the eve of their depar
ture for Anchorage where they are
scheduled to meet the Inlet basket
shooters, Thursday, Friday and per
haps Saturday, the house committee
of the Seward Athletic Club will per
mit Mac to use the gym on Tuesday
night of this week instead of on
Wednesday as heretofore. The Com
mittee also asks the forbearance of
the lady athletes in This regard,
who’s night for calisthenics and in
door baseball, for this occasion only,
will be changed ot Wednesday.
