BASEBALL PLAYER
INJURED BY BAT
Receives Crack Over the Eye When
Standing Too Near the Batter—
Two Stitches Required.
i The first accident of the baseball
season occurred yesterday when Lloyd
Fish, the crack catcher of the Valdez
junior baseball team, was hit over the
eye with a stray bat ana put hors ae
combat with a big gash over his eye,
which required two stitches to close
up.
The battle between the Valdez team
and the Alaska Wonders was at fever
heat and the score was 9 to 9 in
the last of the ninth inning, two outs
were recorded and a kid was at third.
Alaska Egan was at bat, and he sure
intended to hit the ball. He did.
The bat flew back and Lloyd, who
was too anxious to catch the ball,
caught the bat instead and received
a nasty cut. Grabbing the ball he
put Egan out while the latter. was
telling Lloyd how sorry he was.
A doctor was.called and two stitch
es were taken in the cut, which was
to the bone and directly over the left
eye. The Valdez team will be minus
a catcher for’ several days. Manag
er Bush, of the Valdez team, has made
an offer of $10,000 a year for Lloyd’s
services and is fearful that the Fed
eral League will secure the wonderful
catcher by bidding higher for him.

Two Hundred Barrels From Cann’s
Company Will Go Out on To
night’s Steamer.
President Jack Cann, of the Prince
William Sound Fishing company, will
leave on the Sampson for - Seattle to
place the first large shipment of
sound herring on the market and to
arrange for future sales of the out
put of the company. The Sampson
will call at Knikilik returning from
Seward and will load 200 barrels of
salt herring, which are now ready;'
and it will be this shipment that Mr.
Cann will dispose of in Seattle.
The herring packed on the sound

become one of the large industries of
Prince William sound.
While on the outside Mr. Cann will
purchase considerable new equipment

be greatly increased.

The political pot in Valdez is siz j
zling and many are being urged to l
allow their names to be placed on the '
tickets which are being made up. i
Robert Ferguson, the Valdez busi- ,
ness man, is being urged by his I
friends to become a candidate and ;
dozens have asked him to make the i
rare, which he is loath to do because !
of business ties which require till his !
time. . j
James Patterson is also desired by
residents of the town as a member
of the council.' Mayor Ritichie will
undoubtedly be renominated in spite
of his oft -repeated desire not to hold
political office.
Councilmen F'nical and King, who j
are members of the present council, j
have but little, if any, opposition.1
while Councilman White is being ask- j
ed to reconsider his intention not to
bo a candidate.
Councilmen Martin and Biggs are
desired to make the race by many
business men, and Angus Chisholm,
who has served many terms, has a
strong following who would like to
have him in the next council.
Representative Ingram has been
repeatedly asked to run, but he is
disinclined to do so, as his business
interests and his position on the ter
ritorial legislature keep him busy.
Former Mayor Boyle has a strong
following who desire him to run for
the council, but he has not announced
himself a candidate as yet.
Charles Kraemer, who has served
on several councils, is being urged to
become a candidate for councilman,
but says he cannot see it that way
and refuses to even consider the mat
ter.
