FROM MONDAYS DAILY
Three to nothing in the first
inning; a bloy up in the seventh;
the game tied live io five in the
ninth, and the score seven to ]
live in favor of Purinton’s ,
Champ’s at the end of the
eleventh inning—tells the tale (
of Ketchikan’s first ball game
for 101 i, yesterday afternoon
at the Ball Grounds. It was an
interesting game, with good
work, bonehead plays, fine
generalship and errors all mix
led up together—the kind of a
■game the crowd likes to see,
and demonstrated beyond a
doubt (lie fact that Ketchikan
has some fine material for this
! year's team.
Eleven innings tor the first
game of the year means sore j
I arms and “that tired feeling,"
, hut in spite of it. the hoys ]
stuck to their work, playing]
good hall till the very last.
The first inning was rather
a disapointment, as Rockefeller
who pitched for Kings Kolt-,
evidently hadn’t warmed up
enough, for Bush. Ktibley, M -
honey and Smith, ihe !i: i four
of the Champs to come to bai,
found him for four hit-. which
with the assistance of fumbles
and overthrows, brought in i
three runs, and it looked as if j
the Miner Man in hacking the !
Kolt- had made a hum guess.
His subsequent work, however,
like Unit of Minnirh, showed
j
!bo(h to have speed and control,:
and both played their positions
perfectly, hacking plays at first
and third in good shape. In
fact, in these two a id the catch
or- “Casey" Williams and Ca1’!
Ainsworth, we have Hie best
batterv material Ketchikan |
'
ever was able to pul into the
field.
As far as the balance are
concerned, it look- as though
practice will develop two fair j
teams, of whom twelve to fif
teen of the players will he of
the highest order, so that it is
safe to say with plenty of prac
tice. Ketchikan can put u team
into the field this year that will
be able to hold ii> own with
Douglas, Juneau, or any of the
north.
Harvey Slackpole officiated
as "His Umps” and did good
work, even if the whiskers he
