SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, AUGUST 14, IDUi.
What is the matter with an All-Alaska league?
After these games between Anchorage and Seward,
what is the matter with challenging the First division?
Third division of Alaska against the First! The open
ing series of the All-Alaska League! That would soundj
tine and make a glorious contest.
After nearly twenty years of ball playing in Alaska
the game yesterday was the best, anyhow outside of Ju
neau, ever seen and the players on both sides appeared to
have no superiors in the Territory. Certainly Nome or
Fairbanks or Dawson, to go into the Yukon, never pro
duced such nines. Come on. Let us send a challenge to
the great First. Let Seward and Anchorage combine and
we can hold our own with the best the capital and its
neighbors can bring out. The Anchorage bunch are fine.
Their slogan today should be:
“ANC HORAGE AND COURAGE”
Once again—it is necessary apparently to do this once
and again—it should be remembered by amateurs in pub
lic that when a reporter asks a question he is not telling
you that because he wants an answer from you he is beg
ging. A reporter has to interview burglars and sneak
thiefs sometimes, so do not get it into your head because
you sit in an office to which the reporter must go as part
of his work you can put on airs. The President of the Re
public or the members of his cabinet would never get such
an idea. Get away from the false conception of things if
you do not wish to look amateurish.

I’Al’AL SHIP SAILS SEAS
FOR FIRST TIME
SINCE POPES LOST ROME
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
ROME, August 0. — For the first
time since 1670, when the popes lost
Rome, a papal ship today *ails the
high seas Decause of its initial mis
sion it is called the Xuncius. It was
first chartered to carry Mgr. Yas
sallo di Torregrossa from Spain to
Argentine. He is the new Apostolic
Internuncio to the South American
republic.
The Vatican has officially notified
the different governments of the ex
istence of the Xuncius. The neutral
ity of the Holy See is respected. It
sails under a guarantee of immuunity
from all the belligerent powers. The
| papal colors of yellow and white fly
from its mast head.
Vatican circles call the papal ship
a wartime necessity for the “safe
conduct of the business of the Holy
Father.”
Whether it will be used after the
coming of peace is a question, the\
say. Many others, however, attach
the utmost significance to this unique
move on the part of Benedict. They
declare the N’uncius has come to stay. -
In it they see the possible inaugura
tion of a new papal policy.
