SKWARD. ALASKA, SATURDAY. AUGUST 12, 1916.
Baseball is probably the greatest game on earth in
some respects. It certainly can provide situations that
create more excitement than any other game. For in
stance, get the bases full with the third man at the bat
and two strikes and three balls marked up and one run
to beat or tie the other side, and what could beat it? It is
a tine game requiring lots of mental and physical alertness
and any country ought to l>e proud to call it the national
game par excellence.. Fundamentally baseball and cricket
are the same. In both games pitching, batting, backstop
ping. catching balls, running to a certain point before the
ball gets there and fielding are the chief requirements.
Cricket is much slower because a batter can keep block
ing the ball till doomsday and not strike out and some of
them have gone to bat and stayed all clay and sometimes
next dav and theiusome. But fundamentally, as stated he
fore, the games are the same. One great difference is,
that you can watch a good baseball game forever and the
more years you spend watching baseball the more you
want to spend.
It is hard to understand how the cost of hauling coal
from Matanuska to Seward could he more than twice as*
great as the haul from Matanuska to Anchorage. It looks
-really ridiculous to say that after coal has been loaded ‘tj
costs more than a dollar a ton for a little over a hundred
miles. In most places tHey can haul freight 100 miles fm
35 cents a ton on railroads and load and unload it and still
make big money. It is an absurdity, nothing less, to say
that coal would cost over a dollar a ton for this distance
more than for the first part of the distance. The loading
and unloading charges would be the same whether it was
sent by Anchorage or Seward.
Being far away from civilization has some advant
ages after all. We have neither bloody trenches nor par
alyzing strikes.
Three cheers for Anchorage!

and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow' is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low' that no one can complain.
. You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low' as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.

table park.

the boys will be kept actively engaged
in mental and physical pursuits and
will be trained to serve their country
if the need arises.
Whenever practical, a daily hike in
full marching order will be made
through the surrounding country.
The grove in which the camp is
situated slopes down to the Themes
at a point midway between New Lon
don and Norwich, where the river is
sufficiently wide to permit all forms
of sea instructions.
