A VALUABLE CIVIC WORKER
It was a serious loss to Seward when John P. Hannon re
* signed as City Clerk and also as secretary of the Sew
Chamber of Commerce. For three years Mr. Hannon has
effectively presided in the City Clerk’s office and five
years as secretary in the Chamber of Commerce.
Courteous, ever willing, and one of the staunchest
and consistent wokers for Seward’s betterment, his re
tirement means a real loss to the community. As City
Clerk he has brought all records up to the minute, and
thus maintained them.
It is largely thru the efforts of Mr. Hannon that the
Seward Chamber of Commerce now bears the name of
being Alaska’s most active body. This we have heard a
hundred times from every source.
Mr. Hannon’s plans for the future at this time are
not known, but Seward’s citizens are unanimous in voic
ing theii hope that he and his lovelv family will remain
with us.
Seward and Alaska needs young men of Mr. Hannon's
caliber.

SEWARD BALL TEAM
SINKS SURVEWOR
III CLOSE GAME
(By "Girnpy” Harris)
Chalk up another victory for Sew
ard Giants. In a game that you often
road about but hardly ever see the
local team defeated that of the Sur
veyor’s by the score of 8 to 7.
After a very poor first inning \n
wnich the crew from the Surveyor
scored 4 .runs, "Billy Boy" Griffin
settled down to pitch—and did he
pitch? Say folks, he had the bunch
easing out of the palm of his hand.
Talk about the Charge of the Light
Brigade.-when the third inning rolled
around the Seward Giants decided
that they had fooled around long
enough and commenced socking tlie
old pill and charging around the
bases. When the barrage finally lift
ed 5 runs had been marked up to thQ
ciedit of the Giants.
But really folks, the team from the
Surveyor played a great game ami
t! rew a scare into the local team. Es
pecially in the last inning when traP
i:i£ by two runs, the "do or die-’
spirit which they have came to the
surface and they succeeded in scori
i'.g one run, just failing to tie the
rrore when vrith a man on third, the
f'rnl batter lined one to Stevenso’’
who made a great stop to throw him
out at first.
It was a nip and *uck affair
throughout. The spectators, and there
were many of them, enjoyed the game
immensely and stated they would
like to see the two teams in action
:gain.
The lineup was as follows: Seward;
Harris, S. S., Galloway, S. S., Stuart,
Ft. F„ Schlotfeldt, C. F., Griffon, V.
Beyer, 2nd., Lenhart, 1st., Thatcher,!
Z., Stevenson, 3rd. and Neville, L F.
leaver, 2nd., Whitney, P., Kinder. 1,
?erveyor; Emery, 3rd., Hartings, C. F.
Bathell, C., Merers, L. F., Luby.R. F.,
md Ilermen^n, S. S.
BALLS AND STRIKES
To pick the outstanding star of the
game is not hard. Leo Schlotfeldf,
commonly called “Slewfoot”, played
a hang-up game, making catches of j
fly balls tiiat would drive many a
tig leaguer to shame and hii'hg \ e
cld apple to the four ccnners of the
field.
Old man “Toots” Geyer showed
that he uses his head Lv something
else besides a hat rack. In the fourth
innirg with the bases loaded '5cd
none out he played the old time hid_
°n oali trick, catching one of ship’s
players a foot off the bag.
If “Billy Boy” Griffeu keeps on im
p-owing L.-re w i’1 be much, to the
oall games 's': vow on. In :ost
week - f^ame he struck out 5 men and
in yesterday’s game 11.
‘ Gimpy” put his finger in the way
of a ball and had to retire, Galloping
GctBoway replacing him and played a
I wonderful game.
Crane Engineer Neville, who pat
rolled left field for the Giants said
after the game that from now on 1:
has no more worries regarding the (
uane, for if anything goes wrong he 1
is going to use “Slim” Lenhart as a 1
crane. The way “Slim” picked aa.3
’•eac’ ed up for .some of the balls gave 1
Eoy the idea. J
The local team suffered a sevo’i
blow when McGhee, the starr catcher <
i
and heaviest batter of the team, left \
Seward for Nellie Juan where he has •
a good position waiting. Goodby Me <
