The former betting was even money. The Socialist and
Prohibition candidates are quoted at a thousand to one
against.
SEWARD WINS SERIES
Seward won tin' third game today l»v a score ol 3 to 2.
First game, Seward, 4 to 2. Second game, Anchorage,
5 to 3. Third game, Seward, 3 to 2.
SECOND GAME
For four or five innings yesterday, Gus Manthey held
the visitors fairly well but you could see the awful thing
coming just before they began to send him away towards
the head of the bay, and the game ended with five to two
in favor of Anchorage.
Lucas went in the box just then and truth is that he
pitches an alluring ball. He throws it apparently just as
a lady should but it has a habit of shooting up and some
| of the visitors got hoodwinked. Linn, the visiting south
paw, had several surprises up that sinister mitt of his and
Swede Amundsen was always there to receive him. An
chorage starts Vandervere today but only tentatively.
They might try someone else at any old time and Fred
Tracy says they have five of them. Sounds rather bad
for a man who talks so much about imported goods, and
'lie in the shipping business at that. Fred says the Gate
way can tell ’em all he doesn’t like us the way we acted,
whatever he means. But Fred is all right. H( has just
given up hope and he is the only Anchorage man who has.
The boys from the Inlet, and Tracy too, are some bunch,
licked or not, and Seward has nothing but admiration for
the fight they put up yesterday and Sunday. Severa'
changes may occur in the Anchorage team today but at
noon they didn’t have the dope on it. It is or will be some
game, though, and may the better team win.
Anchorage won yesterday in the
second game and evened the chances
in the inter-urban series. The score
was five to two and some of the live
at least, were scored on Seward’s pool*
judgment but the score was five to
two nevertheless, and that’s the sore
spot no matter how you try to get
around it.
Gus Manthey, the old war horse, did
fine for about five innings but you
cannot expect Gus to stand the rackett
as long as Williams, for instance, and
if he had taken a seat one inning be
fore we should have heard Tracy talk
a lot less about importations.
Game by Innings:
First
Rochon, the first man up, got base
on balls, and Mills hit and Tiffany hit.
Rochon reached third and home later
and an error by Adams, would you
think it, let Nicholls score. And all
this in the very first inning.

ond. Powery hit but Levin was kill

this inning that the fine backstop of
the home team met a very nasty hurt.
He is all right again, he says.
Ryan went out on first but Manthey
reached it although he went out on
second when Reed hit. Error by Pow
ery let Reed to second but Julian got

man's place and like the little man he
is he hit the first ball sent to him.

second and he later stole third. He
I was there all the time. Finnegan

WASHINGTON, August 15.—The burden of the ad
justment of the threatened national railroad strike seem
ed to have swung today from the managers to the em
ployees after the managers had been in the White House
for an hour and a half. It was learned after the meeting
that the railroads agreed to accept the basic principle of
an eight hour day but they demanded that the question of
overtime be subjected to a more far-reaching investiga
tion.
STOPS TROOPS
WASHINGTON, August 15.—Because of the threat
ened railroad strike the war department has suspended
indefinitely the shipment to the border of thirty-live thou
j sand mobilized militia which were ordered last week to the
I Mexican border. In some quarters, it is stated, the order
is due to the shortage of supplies. A rumor to the effect
that the keeping of the troops at home for a guard iu case
1 of the big railroad strike is discredited.

WAR ON THEIR OWN ACCOONT

reached second when Amundsen let
the ball slip. Campbell hit alright but
was caught and just then Nicholls
made a little fumble which got Wil
liams started for home and a poor
piece of finger work by the visiting
backstop,Jet him get there. Finnegan
also reached third but went out trying
to get home when Adams bunted The
last named was beaten trying to reach
second.
Kighth Inning
Then came the old Waterloo when
General Napoleon Bonaparte got
slugged out into the suburbs by
Nicholls. You could see it coming.
Taylor nabbed another of the same
kind olT the Levine stick but Amund
sen sent the veteran away to the un
known once more and let Nicholls
across. And then came Powery with
I
another Zeppelin that nearly broke
the cabin of C. S. Patten and Lucas

out at first and a throw from Linn to
Powery got the home captain’s goat,
and there you are.
