SOLDIERS DOWN THE BLACK
FLAGGERS; AURORA’S BITE DUST
in spite of the urging of the fair
one# ami the counsels of the brazen
lunged fans the Pirates bit the dust
In their contest with the boys in blue
In the first game of the evening at
Eagle hall last night. And they fell
hard for when the tumult and the
shouting died, the score was .14 to 5
in favor of the nutional defenders. In
fact the Fort had It on em so strong
that at times the contest degenerated
to a slaughter for the soldiers and ti o
Pirates couldn’t get back a’tliougli
they tried right manfully. At the ead
of the first it looked all to the good for
ihe buccaneers as the soldiers went to
the mat in hurry up orders, making only
one run while their opponents chalked
up four. But then they fell and, on,
what a fall It was my countrymen, ror
they registered nothing bat goose eggs
from that time until the last of the
sixth when they again got busy and
grabbed u lonesome one. in the mean
time the soldiers had their batteries,
at work shelling the enemy and each
Inning saw a few notches added to'
their gun stock. The second saw five
added to their score; the third, three;
the fourth, two. The next one, Modini
pulled the last dope out of his bag
and held the soldiers down for the
count. But the Pirates were not able
to do any better themselves, Allan
struck out, Watson took three slams
ul the ball and got to first on Nile’s
fumble and then stole second, and
Uiiid. tiaxton and Weaver fanned, auu
ihe curtain fell.
The soldiers rallied In the next, how
ever, and the way they walked their
opponents to the execution block stop
ped even the lusty advice of the root
ers. Fortier came gayly to bat,
slammed one to Modini who passed to
Gray, and retired to the bench. Frant
zen hit safe. Hitch repeated the medi
cine and Frantzen went home while
the buccaneers were looking for the
ball. Hitch went to third while the
scramble w'as on. Ingle knocked out a
two-bagger, Hitch came home; Nile
hit for two scoring Ingle. L. Pettit
slammed one to right, stole second ana
came home on Dame's two bagger. C.
Pettit jammed a two strike into left
held scoring Dame. Fortier came home
—but, what's the use, the rest is too
uwful to tell. The local boys went up
in the air like a scared German avia
tor with a couple of red hot French
non in pursuit and when the muss
was over the boys In blue had annexed
eleven more It was all over but the
shouting for the score stood 22 to ♦
and only one inning left.
The Pirates tried hard in their half
of the sixth but could get but one more.
Bart struck out., Fromm beat the ball
to tirst on Nile’s fumble of the third
strike, Gray fanned and then thesoldiers
lost the ball and Fromm came homo
w hile they wen- Higgling Modlni came
up with blood ,n his eye, slammed ono
to center field but was nabbed trying
to steal second. The soldiers grabbed
two more in the next frame and the
Pirates retired scoreless. Final score,
Fort Davis 24, Pirates 4 Batteries,
Engle and Nile, Modlni and Allan.
| Strike outs, by Engle 12, by Modinl, 2.
That tells the story.
The second game was also one sided
I but was distinguished by less errors
i and better team work although the
| Northern Lights went pretty much to
the bad In the first inning The ball
' was a trifle too hard for Buddy Leh
mann at the jump off and the Horse
shoes slammed his easy ones all over
the Held. Ten tallies were chalked
up to their credit before the first half
was over. Corbin led off for the Horse
shoes and earned a walk. R. Lomen
'also walked. Corbin scored on Thomp
son's two bagger and Lomen went to
third. McGuire hit for one and Lomen
came home. Thompson went to third
and came home on A1 Lomen’s fumble
while McGuire went to third. YValsii
slammed one to left field and Mac came
nonie. Walsh circled the bags when
his opponents "wa at lookin'" and
came home on G. Lumen's fumble of a
pitched ball. Sheldon w'alked and Ha
gen hit tor two lending Sheldon over
the slab. Sprecht tried to drive the
bull through the ceilii.g and Hagen was
home before it hit the floor. Bain
tossed one into the gallery and Sprecht
went to third. Corbin struck out. R.
Lomen hit for two scoring Bain and
Sprecht. Lomen stole third and came
home on Thompson's single. Buddy
then got his wind again and shut out
the next two. The ball had got soft
ened up by this time and the second
half saw' the Aurora boys sent to the
bench one. two, three.
A1 Lomen hit a short one to short,
Heckla died to Corbin and Powell
struck out. In the second spasm Leh
man steadied preclpitably, allowing
| only two more. Walsh walked and

curies of wild fumbles allowed him to
reach third. Thompson slammed one
to the gallery and Lomen walked
.er.-uiey home, McGuire struck out.
I i hompsun stole third and came home

.ust sack too quick. Runs 3.
1 lie Northern Lignts were getting

PRODUCTS OF
First shipments of Alaska rutabagas
have begun to come to this market,
says a Seattle produce journal and
with a quality that cen scarcely be^
equaled by any product that reaches
Seattle from any shipping point, the
demand promises to far outreach the
supply. Growers write that they will
have not to exceed 160 bags this year
against 5,000 sacks a year ago. The
bulk of the crop Is being consumed
in the north. There will be no Alaska
yellow turnips which for two seasons'
met with so much favor with local
buyers.
The future for agriculture In Alaska
Is regarded by local Jobbers as very
bright. All the mining towns jand
camps of southeastern Alaska are now
being supplied with cabbage grown
near Haines, and the Skagway celery
has increased In yield to a point where
the demand from that section of the
country can be supplied at home.
This season the crop of stawberries
nt Haines reached a value of $2,000,
and every grower who made the ex
periment of putting in a crop made
good money. The average price to
growers was 30 to 35 cents per quart
The general run of sizes was thirty
to the quart, with many boxes going
but sixteen to the quart cup. One
berry had a circumferet.ee of 71-4
Inches. The plants were brought Into
the country during the Klondike rush
by Jack Dalton, but it has not been
intil the last two or three yt\s that
development of the fruit was ui.der
,aken on a commer :al scale. Timothy
Vogel of Skagway, has been promot
.ng the industry for the purpose of get
ting it on a fixed distributive basis,
and for three seasons E. H. Cruse, of
he firm of Goodwill & Co., has handled
the product locally.
The climate at Haines is admirably
adopted to the growth of root stock,
worm holes, fibrous or woody condi
tions of the vegetables grown west
he Cascade mountains being entire
ly absent.
Local jobbers who have handled the
Vlaska yellow turnips assert that when
northern jobbers get to such a point
hat they will have a surplus for ex
port into eastern markets, they will
easily be able on the quality basts to
get more than enough additional to
cover the freight charges over any sort
of competition that may be developed.!
