1918 BASEBALL
GUIDE LOR LRED
Local Fans Send Fluent Document
Inscribed In Oriental Script to
Pooh Bah of Inlet
With the best wishes of a number
of Seward fans, a “1918 Baseball
Guide” was forwarded to Fred Tracy,
still Pooh Bah of the Anchorage
team, on the S. S. Mariposa today.
It’s a good guide and the fans hope
Fred will make good use of it in get
ting together and training his aggre
gation for the terrible clash pending
next year.
The real nifty feature of this base
ball guide is that its diction is un
usually fluent and its explanation of
the plays thorough made, so that any
one competent to read Chinese charac
ters can gain a thorough insight into
the liner mysteries of the game.
This Chinese ball guide was sent
north by former Chief Wappenstein
of Seattle ,who felt that it would be
appreciated by some Alaska team and
the Seward fans realizing the serious
ness of the situation over on the Inlet,
forwarded it at once.

A most remarkable find has been
made by I). M. Lynch in his marble
quarry some seven miles from An
chorage. It consists of a very perfect
stone head, which at one time was
ilesh and bone and belonged to a baby
or very small person, possibly of pre
historic times. The head of this in
teresting individual is now a solid
piece of lime rock quite perfect in ex
terior outline, showing the cavities of
the eyes and nose as well as the po
sition of the ears and the ocipital ver
tebra. Mr. Lynch dug this relic out
of thirteen feet of superinposed marl
or unsolidified lime.
