NEW RECORD
BY DRIELERS
On Wager Drives Steel Nearly Seven
Inches in Period of Fen
Minutes
VALDKZ.—A new record over that
officially established on July 4th at the
prize drilling contest, when Fred
Mills drilled six inches in ten mirN
utes, was established this morning
when Henri Zamdeth, of Fidalgo.
drilled a six and seven-sixteenth-inch
hole in the same time at the grounds
on Broadway. The contest this morn
ing was the result of a \|ager by the
contestant and his companions that he
could drill a seven-inch hole in ten
minutes for one hundred dollars. The
money was covered and Zamdeth lost
by a small margin owing to his steel
breaking twice during the drilling.—

Ball Game Scheduled for Sunday May
Upset “Conqueror of
Cordova”
Frank Ennis, known these many
years as an expert at picking a ball
team among the underbrush, hied him
self out to Federal Park last evening
and after a cursory glance at Harry
Hoben’s aggregation, lightened him
self of the hunch that he could take
certain material and win from the
“Conqueror of Cordova” so often that
it would become a habit.
Ennis, it will be remembered, un
earthed a team of strangers the year
he came to town and gave the Seward
aggrgegation a terrible drubbing, and
they say history does repeat itself.
Hoben refuses to be bluffed and
there will probably be something do
ing Sunday.
UNALGA GAME LATER
Seward fans were disappointed last
evening when the team from the
1 Unalga, which had arranged late in
the day to play a game, was unable
to come ashore. The sailors are good
sportsmen and like nothing better than
an opportunity to get into action. The
Unalga will be back in a short time
and it is the desire of all that a game
be arranged.
FAN FOOD
Coughlin, at third, who batted 500
in the Midnight League last year, has
a reputation for making pitchers and
umpires take to cover. He puts ’em
across from third to first just about
.-houlder high and the mere fact that
his “umps” or the slab artist, happen
to be in between doesn’t interfere with
the artillery.
“Iron Man” Finnegan is up to his
old form and it’s time for the other
fellows to worry every time he gets to
first.
Lucas, the “cross-fire” twirler, had
’em guessing again during the batting
practice last night. Nobody loves a
| slow ball.
l'.eem favors a little green bat that
is first cousin to a broom-stick.
Maguire rolls around second with
surprising speed.
Hemmenway never gets hit by tip
fouls in a game, but in practice he’s
good for several bumps a night.
“Chammy” Chamberlain has not
walked a man this season. It’s a case
of hit the ball or strike out for every
man who faces him.
“Lefty” Linn has a little trick of
pitching a ball from away over to
I ward first base that just ticks the in
side corner and they generally don’t
i find ’em.
“Smoky” Joe wasn’t cut out for an
outfieldei4, but there’s no hole to speak
i of around first when he unkinks him
i self in that vicinity.
Reed also showed at first last night
and took all chances.
L. L. James has served notice on all
first basemen in these parts that he’s
“come back” and they are liable to
have to step aside as soon as he de
cides which manager’s offer to accept.
A1 Taylor and Shellhorn were gath
ering them in out in the gardens yes
terday.
“Doc” Anderson found Chamberlain
for about ten fouls straight last night.
“f)oc” could see that jump on the ball
but couldn’t quite center it.
| There’s going to be a corker of a
game Sunday—Ennis has something
up his sleeve.

TODAY.
If we have sold a fish or two
That was not v£ry good,
We lay the fault to none but you,
Then it was understood
That you should come when fish ar
rives.
Too late, you ever were.
In ice the fish but shortly thrives,
Today is timely, fair.
But never is next week some day
The time to come for fish.
Bethink your money’s worth, it may
You bring a splendid dish.
Instead you roar and we are sore,
And all is wrong all round,
Because you did not come before.
Today, come get your pound!
