WAS A GLORIOUS FOURTH
IT is over!
* And it was a glorious Fourth! Everybody enjoyed it,
from the wee kiddo with his cap pistol to the patriarch of
many national days.
And Seward stored up a treasure in traditions—there
was not an accident, nor a case of intoxication no unfor
seen disturbance or any friction.
As if in harmony with the mood of the big crowd
which gathered, the sun quit sulking and did its best with
warm rays and brilliant skies while all nature smiled and
was happy.
The sports were clean and closely contested from the
heroic Marathon Mountain race to the bobbing for apples
by the kiddies.
It was a Glorious Fourth.
CAVE MAN TACTICS
AN incident took place during the formation of the
** Fourth of July parade yesterday which is much regret
ed It seems like something must always crop out to spoil
the best of laid plans. J. B. Sullivan, popular member of
the U. S. S. Surveyor crew, devoted considerable time in
making up a character impersonation of Wallace Beery
in "We're in the Navy Now,” and took his place in the line
of march at the start of the parade on Adams street. Chief
of Police Bob Guest was busy assisting in the formation,
when, it is stated, someone rushed up to him with the in
formation that a drunken sailor had appeared in the pa
rade ranks. It is further stated the chief ordered the sail
or out of the parade and in addition knocked him down.
“The boy was not drunk,” Commander Lukens of the
Surveyor stated, “and to my knowledge never has touched
a drop of liquor.” Not only Commander Lukens but all
officers and members of the crew were indignant over the
matter, and according to these facts laid before The Gate
way, the indignation is justified.
ONLY CONFETTI LACKING
1UEW YORK and St. Louis had little on Seward yester
day in that the populace of the cities were crowded out
from "the streets and forced to the roofs and balconies of
buildings during Lindbergh’s arrival in the Eastern cities
and the arrival of the natal day in Seward yesterday. It
was the first time in years that people had viewed the
sports from the house-tops in Seward, and comments were
heard amongst the large number of visitors on the fine
appearance of the streets.
It is reported certain areas in the Afognak and Kodi
ak districts will soon be placed in the forest reserves
owing to a few choice spruce trees having been recently
discovered by visiting officials.

SINK IMS TWICE
IN THE SHE PUCE
The Surveyor baseball nine sub
merged the Seward aggregation Sun
day afternoon in a five inning game
by a »cve of 2-0. The game wa*.
marked by listlessness, carelessness,
and no pep, and though the condition
of the ground was not of the best,
’.be punch in the game was entirely
lacking. Errors were made freely;
few hits were garnered, and the base
running was a sad specticle.
The game stopped in the beginning
of the sixth inning because there
were no more base balls on hand.
Today, a crew was going out and
rake over the field in fond hopes of
recovering some of them; when all
is said and done, it probably was a
good work out for the boys but as a
base ball game, good night!
The line-up:
Seward—Moran, 2nd base; Andre
sen, Catcher; Cotter, Short stop;
Christople, Pitcher; Lenhart, 1st.
base; Stevenson, 3rd. base; Manthey,
Right field; Harris, Left field; Rose,
Center field.
Surveyor—Terkelson, 2nd. base; '
Van Edter, Catcher; Sullivan, Short
stop; Talson, Pitcher; Smith 1st.
base; Hermnson, 3rd. base; Northon,
Right field; Deacon, Left field; Qui
sle, Center field.
Monday's Game
Game number two, played off on
Monday, was not so bad and showed
a little more skill and confidence.
The Surveyor crew again took the
locals into camp by the tidy score of
10-6.
The line-up:
Surveyor—Smith, 1st. base; North
on, Right field; Carrol, Center field;
Deacon 2nd. base; Teckelson. Left
field; Litz, Catcher; Quigle, 3rd.
base; Sullivan Pitcher; Celligar,
Short stop.
Seward—Lenhart, 1st. base; An

“TIGER" ENNIS KAYOS
FLUES IN THIRD ROUND
Ml EVENT EAST NIGHT
The Fourth of July celebration was
j fitly rounded out last evening with
| two bouts at the S. A. C. hall. The
decision to stage the bouts came
suddenly so at 10 o’clock young Mel
ger of the U. S. S. Surveyor, and Kid
Nickeferoff of Seward opened in a
scheduled four-round preliminary.
Nick was awarded a K. O. over his
opponent who failed to get up on his
hind legs after his third or fourth
knock down in the third round. The
Filipino was wobbly at the end of
the first round and was hanging on
to the ropes. Both boys were will
ing but Nick was too strong and
ferocious and all the Filipino could
see was a windmill of flying gloves.
A silver shower lined Nick’s pockets
at the completion of the bout.
“Tiger” Ennis of .Seward won by a
knock-out in the fourth round from
“Dizzy’ Flories of the U. S. S. Sur
veyor. In size the boys were evenly
matched and the first two rounds
looked as though the sports were to
be treated to a rather clever contest.
But with the beginning of the third
round after taking several wallops,
Flories lost heart and from that
time on wore either a worried or
dazed look' and divided his time be

tween hanging on the sopes, h’tting
the floor, or careening around the
ring. Flories left himself open a
hundred times, none of which Ennis
took advantage of, probably for rea
sons of his own. However, Ennis
practically won the fight three times,
the bell being fast in one instant and
the referee slow in the second knock
down. The third time Ennis put him
down and out for good.
Torkelson refereed the bouts to the
satisfaction of all.
Considering the time of night and
the short notice announcing the
oouts. a good crowd attended.
