Good Baseball Material
A number of baseball boys turned
out last evening at the ball grounds
for practice, and indulged in a little
work, but the infield is still too wet
yet for practice. There is considerable
good material here for a team that
will not be ashamed to meet any of
the amateur teams of this section,
and it is hoped before the season is
over they will have an opportunity
to cross bats with Seward. Cordova
and possibly one or more of the An
chorage teams. Captain Bob Scearce
is planning on reglar practice to en
able the boys to get Into good trim,
and it is believed that at the opening
game with Fort Liscum next Sunday
the team will give a good account of
itself.

Communication Restored
At 1:45 this afternoon communica
tion between Valdez and Sitka by
cable was again restored, the Burn
side having completed the work of
laying the cable in deeper water and
made the final splice. It is expected |
that from this time on the breaks in
the cable will be far less frequent, j
as a majority of the breaks during
several years past have been occa-!
sioned by anchors of the fishing boats j
off the Yakutat banks. The cable is!
now laid off the banks in deeper wat-1
er and out of the reacli of anchors. 1
It is expected the Burnside will come
here within a few days to do some
work in the shore end of the cable.
