FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY
WAND GOES ASHORE
Word comes from the West
Coast that the steamer Wand
went ashore on the spit at Fish
Egg, Wednesday, but floated
off again and proceeded on her
way yesterday. She was on the
same spit on which Gaurocao
grounded a few months before
sinking at Warm Chuck.

FISH RUN SLACKS OFF
According to word received
from the West Coast the run
of Spring Salmon at Forrester
Island has fallen of consider
ably of late so that many of the
fishermen have stopped fish
ing. The mild curing concerns
have had a pretty fair season
thus far, the Engelbr Wiese
company having passed the
five hundred mark.

MAKES A GOOD TRIP
The halibut schooner Pros
pector arrived in during the
night from the banks with 80, •
000 pounds of fish on board as
the result of eleven days’ trip
with Capt. Anderson in com
mand. An idea of the amount
cf work done by the-crew of a
'' fishing boat on a trip of this
nature is gotten when it is
known that the trip consumed
a hundred barrels of bait, and
that 388 skates of gear were
used. Each skate carries 240
hooks, or a total of 93,120
hooks for the entire outfit.

FINE BRIDGE BUT USELESS
The Alaska Road commiss
ion has performed a creditable
work in the construction of a
substantial wagon bridge a
cross the A'izina river. It is
said to be one of the best struc
tures in Alaska, and will prove
of untold advantage in the
saving of life in the crossing
of one of the most treacherous
streams of Alaska. But while
the bridge is complete, it is
still practically worthless so
far as traffic is concerned,
the approaches are so steep
that even a pack horse finds
it impossible to ascend from j
either side. The operators j
and prospectors who hayc nee- j
essity for crossing the Nizina 1
to the valuable placer gold and !
•copper quartz properties beyond
are •‘'till compelled to cross I
over Sourdough Hill and re-j
reive no benefit from the new!
structure.-Cordova Alaskan.

FROM MONDAYS DAILY
ELEVEN AND ONE HALF
INNINGS AND NO RUN
It’s over. The best, the most
satisfactory Fourth of July cel
ebration that Ketchikan or
any other part of Alaska ever
had. The town was crowded,
the crowd was good natured
and the entertainment offered
them was so very, very satis
factory that even the loosers
smiled and what better indi
cation could any body want
than that of satisfactory treat
ment. The weather too was
all that could be asked and
coming after the wetness and
general depression of Friday,
it was all the rnpre acceptable.
The kids were given their
chance for fun and a little
easy money on Friday after
noon when the juvenile events
were run, uiMj miu iceiuurttuuii
did not really begin until the
arrival of the Princess Beatrice
with the excursionists from
Prince Rupert on board Satur
day morning. They arrived so
early that they caught the
town almost napping but were
such a live bunch they
s'oon had everybody up and
down town helping them 'have
a good time. Their parade was
certainly a hummer and every
body appreciated their efforts
especially when we saw the re
mains of Ketchikan’s goat cap
tured at Prince Rupert eariler
in the week bourn along in lov
ing remembrance of the evenh'
The parade which officially
opened the program of the day
was a little late in getting start
ed but turned out to be the
finest ever seen in town when
at last it began to move, It
was headed by the Ketchikan
band in lull strength and the
music they rendered then and
subsequently during the day
was of the best. Following
the band came the visitors
with Purinton’s goat in the fore
and the way they handed it to
us with those banners wasn’t
slow.
The Eagles, Redmen and
other fraternal orders followed
and Then came the floats. Of
these that of the Pocahontas
won first honors with the Civic
Club and Hie Heckman com
pany cl'ose behind. The W. C.
T. U. and a fninature float also
was very pretty, attracting con
siderable attention. The balance
«>f the parade was made upc of
I'he city officials, fire depart
ment and individual citizens.
After the parade-came a lit
erary and patriotic exercises j
at ltedmen’s Hall with Rever
end Michener delivering the
oration, file Declaration of In
dependence read by R. L
Petty, appropriate vocal solos
by Mrs. Elliott, Miss Ruth Lacy
and Osborne Williams, all
well rendered and thoroughly
enjoyed, and patriotic music
by the band.
The next item was the great
event of the year, the big ball
game between Rupert and Ket
chikan in which after a thrill
ing battle of twelve innings
with a score of milling tj noth
ing Ketchikan shoved over a
run and were the victors. The
game was a wonder, full of
thrills for the spectators of !
whom there ware fully f,000 !
in I be stand, on the walks and ;
along the—tw'o base lines. The j
game opened with Ketchikan !
taking the outs having Engel i
in IJie box and Carl Ainsworth !
behind the bat. Harvey Stack- 1
pole was umpire in chief while i
Wallace of Prince "Rupert took
•are of the bases. Endleton,
Ihiperl’s right fielder was the
first man up and the wayj
'ieorge fanned him wasn’t j
-low. 11 a 11 i f e r followed with a!
idle grounder to Reyes and, of I
morse, he never got to first j
md right here it would be j
well to say that never in the t
history of Ketchikan’s base ball
has more brilliant fielding been
done than the little Filipino f
did that day. “Home Run Irv
ine, the man who did the dam
age at Prince Rupert, was the '
next batter up but Janggen 1
took care of his fly and the
side as retired.
Ketchikan
Reyes flew out to 3rd swatt
ing the first ball thrown. Kub
ley and Payne fanned.
2nd Rupert
Roekerfeller was the star per
former in the 2nd, nailing flies
and retiring Moreland and Toby
in big league style. Blake's
pop up was taken care of by
Erickson and that was the end
of prince Rupert's chance to
the 2nd.
Ketchikan
Ainsworth, as usual, connect
ed with the ball and sent out
g. Iflng low fly between cenlcr
and field which Brooks dropp
ed landing the. batter on Jst.
Mahoney followed with prob
ably the 'best hit of the day to
left field which put him ori
2nd and advanced Carl to 3rd
and it looked as though there
was going l/o bp no (/hi tfj ft,
but the way Moreland lifted
himself out of the hole was
nothing short of marvelous for
whip)) )2 balls thrown ’lie
fanned Erickson, pud
Janggen retiring the side.
3rd Rupert
Brooks went after the first
three balls thrown him with
which he was pngblp to ppn
nect and went back to the
bench, Beatty (lid exactly the
same Howell dumped one in
front of the home base which
Ainsworth slammed to 1st a
head ut hi pi and he too was
out.
Ketchikan
Moreland fanned Engel in
short order. Reyes hit to 2nd
and failed to reach 1st. Kub
ley grounded to right field and
was safe on 1st. Payne hil i
little one between 2nd and Is!
landing him safely on the in
itial bag and a poor throw to
1st enables him to reach 2nd
and Kubley 3rd, but Ainsworth
knocked one po 1st and the
side retired.
4th Rupert
Josiah replaced Erickson at
3rd on account of the latter’s
sore arm in this inning,
Endleton hit to (he pitcher
and went out at 1st, Joe mak
mg u very good catdh and field
ing the position then and dur
ing the whole of the rest of the
game perfectly. Hanifer then
fanned, Irvine hit to 3rd
and Josiah was a little late in
getting the ball over to 1st and
lie was safe there, the first
man to reach that hag for the
visitors. Moreland followed
with a hot grounder to 2nd
but Tony got 'his hands on it
and there was nothing more to
that inning.
Ketchikan
Mahoney popped out lo flic
pitcher, Josiah ('lied out to 2nd
and Rookie fanned.
5th Rupert
;)hy flew out to Rice in
lit field who had replaced
J nggen for Ketchikan. Blake
i d to Kubley 'on short and the
ball beat him to 1st and Beatty
fanned.
Ketchikan
Rice hit infield and failed
to reach 1st. Engle hit to
Hanifer at 3rd, (he latter mak
ing a brilliant stop and George
lailed to qualify and Reyes
fanned.
6th Rupert
Really fanned, Howell hit to
aiteher, out at Jst and Endleton
ait the first real hit for Prince
tnpert which he pul in left
:ield and made 1st. Hanifer
lumped one in front of the ,
liteher which the latter re- J
rieved and the side was re
4
i—TimITii — nil .Ti gTiii - J_ 'kBSimOimmimm
tired. i
Ketchikan i
Kubley fanned, Payne fanned
and Ainsworth grounded to 1st. i
7th Rupert
Irvine went out on a high fly
back of 3rd which Josiah spear i
ed. Morland hit one to Tony 1
and there was nothing doing, !
and Toby fanned.
Ketchikan
Mahoney and J'osiah fanned,
Rookie made a long safe hit to
right field which landed him
safe on 1st but he was put out
trying to steal 2nd When Rice
came to bat.
8th Rupert
Blake hit a single inside of j
3rd and was safe on 1st. Brooks 1
fanned, Beatty flew 'out to
right field and Blake was put
out trying to reach 2nd.
Ketchikan
nice dumped one which the
catcher got to 1st ahead of
him. Engle fanned, Reyes 'hit
to 3rd which (lie latter juggled
just long enough to pnpble l|)e
little man lo get to 1st and he
thou made the first steal *of
the game liy getting to 2nd
While Kubley was fanning out.
9th Rupert
Howell flew out to Rookie.
Hndletpn lot a safe one to ipfl
field for a single but was put
out trying to reach 2nd. Hanifer
fanned and there was nothing
more lo that inning.
Ketchikan
Then came the only question
on an umpire’s decision during
tiie whole of the game. Payne,
Hie first man up for Ketchikan
lpndpd on 11} e first ball thrown
with a mighty wallop that
repelled t'lie dry kiln and with a
hurst of speed that would do
credit to Ty Cobb lie perched
on 2nd base. Ruperties pro
tested on the ground that Um
pirp Staekpole was not in his
position when Hip hit yyas niade
and 'he was forced to return to
hat over again and fanned.
Ainsworth flew out lo short
and Mahoney fanned.
10th Rupert
Irvine grounded to Tony and
went out at 1st, Moreland
beat out a grounder to 1st and
by a narrow margin made 2nd
when Toby hit to the pitcher
and went out at 1st, but was
Cfpight off 2nd when Joe Ma
honey held the ball insfead of
returning it lo the pitcher as
'the runner supposed and the
side ^h-s retired.
Ketchikan
Josiali landed a Texas Leag
uer just over 3rd which by Iasi
running 'he stretched to t wo
hasps and went to 3rd on a
passed ball pud tried to steal
home when Rice wag hunting,
Rockie who was ahead of Rice
tried bo hunt but instead it was
a little liner which landed in
the pitcher’s hands. Rice hit
one to the pitcher which he
dropped and the runner was
sale at 1st but was put out
trying to steal 2nd.
11th Rupert
Blake hit to short and was
thrown out, at 1st by a narrow
margin, Mahoney doing good
work. Brooks did the same.
Beatty sent a long drive out to
renter which was safe for one
Imt in trying to stretch it to
two hags he failed to take in
lo consideration Rockie',s throw
ing ability and the hall was a
second ahead of him.
Ketchikan
In this inning it looked as
hough Engle was going to win
lis own game for he sent a j
ong low drive out lo left field j
ind made 2nd with case but
"teyes, Hie next man up, flew |
nit lo 1st. Kubley fanned and i
'ayno after fouling four lime
lid the same, and poor George
va.s left out 'on liis base.
12th Rupert
Howell sent one out towards
ind which bounced over Pony’s
lead and he was safe. Endleton
I
hit to Josiah retiring Howell.—
Hanifer flew out to Reyes, and
Irvine, the next man up, landed
on the ball for a two bagger
advancing Endleton to 3rd and
for the first time in the whole
game, Rupert looked really
dangerous but Moreland hit a
little grounder which Engle
nailed quicker than a hungry
dog would a bone and threw
him out at 1st retiring the side.
And then came ihe final
stanza. Everybody was on
their tops when Carl Ainsworth
came to bat. lie fouled one,
missed one and it looked ns
though he would retire to Ihe
bendh, then came a ball high
land wide but the next -one was
| in Ihe groove and Carl shot it
siraignt io ine xml oaseman
Who slopped it Imt fupiblpd it
just lung enough for the big
fellow to reach 1st. He stole
2nd while Mahoney was at the
bat and before the latter flew
out to, left field. Josiaft, Che
next iiian up, fanned tint the
catcher in his anxiety for fear
Ainsworth would get to 3rd
dropped the 3rd strike and
Josiah racer for 1st like a steam
engine forcing the catcher to
throw to that bag while at the
same time Ainsworth ran for
3rd and the man on 1st in try
ing to make a double play and
retire tlie side, threw into the
crowd enabling Ainsworth to
bring the winning score over
the plate, ending the game.
The description of the game
is not complete without com
menting favorably on the per
sonality of the hoys of the
Prince Rupert team. They
ore good passers ami giopd
sports, every tine of them a
gentleman and they played the
great game as it should have
been played, fairly and squarely
taking decisions without a mur
mur and up on thgir togs gll
l)m time, Our own Jjloys are
not a bit behind them and the
result was a brilliant exhibition
of Dm national game—in fact it
was a game of a life time. The
work of the two pitchers was
re markable, neither one giving
a base on balls and neither one
hitting- any of the batters with
a pitched ball.
The men’s track and field
sports came as an anti- climax
after that wonderful game of
ha!!. However the events were
well attended and the competi
tion was keen. The strong men
showed up well in the 16 pound
shot put, Delany won in with
a heave that was only a little
better than two or three
others. Milliga succeeded in
out leaping all comers in the
standing broad jump with
wonderful kangaroo hops. Field
succeeded in clearing the bar
a little 'higher than Ihe rest
entered. Then came that throw
in the ball throwing contest.
Car| Ainsworth took only one
throw; that was enough. Mon
uments ought to he placed at
either ends of that long boss.
Eddie Bush beat out the rest

In the running events Ket
chikan was not so fortunate.
Mobley from Prince Rupert
showed best form in the ob
stacle race clearing the stretch
es handily. The spectators had
the good fortune to see one of '
Ihe speediest ^printers on the
coast when they saw Rice van
quish all comers in the spripts.
The program finished with «
well fought relay race, a team
composed of Irvine, Anderson
and Field winning by a few
scant yards, concluding the
events for Saturday.
Sunday morning file boat rac
were held. Those entering in
class for which the prize was
$50 being the Quadra, Ceres
and Yankee, the first named
had it all her own way winning
without any effort hut the
race for- second place was about
the closest of the entire day,
the Ceres nosing out the Yan
kee by a scant 18 inches. The
Ethelyn was easily first in the
class C boats. The W. N. in
es were held. Thos entering in
this event which made the run
in the second shortest time was
not given second lace owing to
this event made t he run
the fact that her skipper failed
to swing around the stake boat
at the finish hut turned off
towards the New England so
that the Dawn which went
true to the course was given
second money. The speed boats
race was a procession, Capt.

than BO minutes with the Suf

forced to withdraw from the
race owing lo hot bearings.
Engstrom won first and Hol
man second in the overboard
engine boat races having no
difficulty in defeating all op

working to perfection.
Martin Bugge’s boat nosed
out Billy Woodworth’s craft in
a whirlwind finish in the slow
race. John and Henry, two
natives, won the doublt scull
and Wild the swimming race,
Hie latter event was very close
with Oliver Field not more than
15 inches behind.
Yesterday’s base hall game
which was held about 3 o’clock
between a picked team of
natives and Kanakas would,
under ordinary conditions have
been very interesting hut fol
lowing Saturday’s game it was
rather flat. Kubley pitched
for the local team with Ains
worlh catching while Don Atkin
son pitched for the Natives
with Hewson behind the bat,
final score being 5 to 3 in fav
