KETCHIKAN LOOKS
GOOP THIS YEAR
It looks as though Ketchikan were j
going to keep up her reputation in j
baseball this year as heretofore
Yesterday afternoon between fif
i teen and twenty players turned out
to practice and indulged in fielding
and batting practice for over three
hours.
There was a lot of new blood out
and most of it looked good, notably
among ;he new comers was Eddie
Scanlon former northwest league
player who will make his home here
this summer. Eddie needs no in
troduction to the ball fans of the
northwest and it is hoped that he
can keep jip his old time speed.
Kubley, Williams, Payne, and the
rest of the old players with the ex
ception of Janggen and Erickson
who, for social reasons, could not
get out are plaving apparently as
well as ever.
A game will be arranged between
Doc Walkers Counter Jumpers and
the regulars for Wednesday even
ing, the lineup will appar in tomor
row’s paper.
MR. JOHNSTONE RETURNS.
F. C. Johnstone, of Seattle, who
has been to the company’s cannery
at Water Falls the last few days,
returned this morning and will spend
several days in town before return
ing to Seattle. Mr. Johnstone is one
of the large stockholders in the
Tongass Trading company and owns
much property hereabouts
It is said that one of the enter
prising cannery men of Ketchikan
saw—or at least thought he sawr—a
fish trap location in the broken pane
of glass at the Stedman Hotel, and
immediately posted a location no
tice. However, the management
thought otherwise and this morning
put in a sound pane of glass, thus
voiding the location.
__- _. ._a ^ AAAI
PLENTY OE COMEDY
IN THE “MIKADO”
OSBORNE WILLIAMS / .:SUI” 5
ROLE OF COMEDIAN TJC.
CESSFULLY.
What would “The Mikado” be
without “Ko Ko,” the Lord i!;gh
Executioner?
Some of the leading profes ' mal
comedians of the present day are
attempting this, the funniest < ' all
of Gilbert’s creations. Perha; j the
best on the American stage at this
time is DeWolf Hopper, who made
his great reputation in “Wang.” The
part of Ko Ko, j'he Lord High Exe
cutioner, requires a voice of great
range and an actor able to in erpret
the comedy part of the ope and
no one in Ketchikan could have
been chosen who could do >' stice
to the part so well as Mr. ( ..borne
Williams. To see him in the part
is a whole show in itself, and musi
cally he handles it far better than
many of the professionals
Tlie famous “Tit Willow" song
comes to his character and Mr. Will
iams sings it with much feeling and
expression, as does he also the duet
with Katisha in the last act. This
is one of the best numbers' of the
opera and with Mrs. Edmonds and
Mr. W’illis.ms it is excellently rend
ered. and as it brings together the
two most grotesque characters it
never fails to make a hit.
Remember the date Monday and
Tuesday, May 22 and 23.
C. S. Hubbell of Seattle, who
came in some time ago to do some
surveying of mining ground near
Kasaan, returned from there last
night.
