Judge Shepard Made All the Er
rors, All the Hits and All
the Fun.
(lly (he Spurting Editor).
A coined'' of errors was stag
ed at the na!; par* yesterday, net
it wasn’t the one written by Bit!
Shakespea-e. Tom Shepard
brought out his band of law
breakers to get the best of the
commercial wolves, but, as it
turned out, this was the occa
sion where Big Business put it
over the Law.' it was a joyful
game withal and exceedingly
mirthful. It started off in a big
I league fashion, but ended some
, thing entirely different.
The honorable commissioner
started on the slab for the law
yers and Kelsey .officiated for
the' tradesmen. In the second
inning Bunnell went into the box
and from then on until exhaust
ed he represented the Blackston
ians. In the lirst inning Kelsey
reached first on four bad balls
and reached home somehow or
other with the assistance of his
opponents. The next three bats
men went out in rapid succes
sion. In this inning Bunnell dis
tinguished himself by capturing
a hard foul just back of lirst
base. In the second half of the
lirst inning the lawyers went out
one, two, three. In the lirst half
of the second the men of com
merce did the same, while in their
half three lawyers crossed the
platter.
This angered the wolves and
they proceeded to eat Their op
ponents ui>. They liit, slammed
and .clouted the hall until Ritchie
was ready to drop from fatigue
and Mo'ssman had covered three
miles chasing flies. Shepard
dropped several halls* at first
which should have been easy
outs and all the runners ran
without stopping. By this time
the wolves considered they had
done enough damage and cour
teously retired after putting 12
runs across. Everyone went to
bat twice and was scared to
death he would have lo bat again.
After that the busiress men scor
ed two or three runs in every
inning except the eighth, when
they retired from pure exhaus
tion.
The disciples of Blackslone
never had a look-in after the
third inning, however, they scor
ed one in the fourth and four
runs each in the fifth and sixth,
i The game only went eight rounds,
all hands, including the umpire,
being willing to call it quits.
There were any number of
startling features in the game.
Bunnell's catch back of lirst was
loudly applauded, as was also
Ganty’s catch on third. A bril
liant piece of playing by the law
yer elan was the* running down,
of YVullT between second and
third and Schultz’s catch and
double play to Geraghty. On the
commercial side the pitching of
Kelsey, the heavy hitting of the
entire team, and the fact they
didi't make quite as many er
rors as their opponents were the
main features. Schultz is en
titled to the batting honors, as
he corralled a three-bagger, two
two-baggers and a half dozen
singles, batting .one thousand.
Everyone, in the game made hits,
and also errors, or mistakes. The
lawyers’ usual habit of trying to
stretch a pqint was evident by the
way they tried repeatedly lo
stretch hits into two-baggers,
Kelsey struck out .four men,
Shepard two and < Bunnell two.

Cook Inlet Cannerymen, Martin
Oaltery and Orca Cannery
Have Poor Season.
N. Jacobson reached Valdez
last night from Cook Inlet, com
ing in his launch, the Nellie M,
from Seldovia bringing his fam
ily aboard the boat Mr. Jacob
son has been working for Peter
Herbert in charge of the con
struction of the big mild curing
plant owned by the Codk Inlet
operator at Seldovia and at the
■lime of leaving, the run of fish
had not been very heavy but the
cannerymen hoped for a heavy
run in August.
The run of salmon to the west
ward has been very poor the
present season, and none of the
cannerymen are able to secure
enough to keep them busy and
the pack will be exceedingly
light.
At Esliamy bay where the Mar
tin fish company is operating a
saltery .they are troubled with a
shortage of fish and the June
has been sent from bay to bay in
the hope of securing salmon.
The Orca cannery officials have
also had a number of boats in
that section as the fishermen on
the (Copper'River delta are un
able to keep the cannery going.

MoHIE RETURNS FROM
^ PORT WELLS SECTION
Janie Mcllie returned yesterday
from a trip down the bay visit
ing the many properties in the
Port Wells section and spending
considerable time at the new
townsite at Portage Hay. Jim
claims that one of the largest
towns in Alaska will be built at
the cutoff to thu| Matanuska
coal lields and that few people
in Valdez realize the number of
men nor the amount of work
that is going on in the Port
Wells section. In every bay and
cove can be be found from three
to ten men working bn prospects
which give every encouragement
of becoming mines.
8pecial Notice.
To the civilian employees of the
Alaska Hoad Commission:
1 have endeavored to ascertain
your names with a view to ar
ranging, if possible, for the pay
ment of your poll tax of $5.00
apiece in time to save you the
payment of an additional. $1
apiece as delinquent penally on
all payments made after today.
Lieut. Hubert L. Weeks,'.tile act
ing head of I lie Alaska Hoad
Commission, has refused, how
ever, to give me aiiy information
of the names of its civilian em
ployees. The result is I hat some
of you may escape your share of
Ihe lax burden which should rest
alike upon all those made sub
ject to the tax, and that those of
you who do not thus escape will
be obliged to pay $5 each (un
less you pay today.) instead of
$5, had your names been furnish
ed me, as has been done by all
other employers of labor. Those
of you who do not wish to fare
better than your fellow citizens,
through the attempted conceal
ment of your names, and do not
wish to In* subjected to the pen
ally of $1 additional, can settle
your poll tax by paying $5 to
day at my office, which 1 will
keep open for that purpose un
til midnight, or you can pay that
amount to your foreman, to be
handed to me. Those of you
who do not thus pay will be com.
-pelled to pay $5 later on, and
may rest assured that your
names will be ascertained and
payment enforced in due corrrst**,
