The U. S. Surveyor team scuttle!
the Seward Giants in yesterday’j
Laseball game, which w'ent the full
iiiDe innings, ending by the score «'f
fiveto four. Both pitchers, Johnson
for the Surveyor and Griffith for Sew
ard, worked good, as did their re
ceivers, and with the exception of a
few occasions, were backed up with
good support.
Pour double plays were pulled off,
and both teams hit them far and
wide. Seward made three runs in the
fir st inning, , but the Surveyor boys
scon cut that lead down, passing them
and remained in the lead until the
end. The largest crowd of the season
saw the game, and at least 25 aut03
were parked on the fringe of the
field.
It was Seward’s first lose this sea
son, and having tasted the bitter
dregs of defeat, they are wild fur
revenge. They probably will get a
chance for revenge soon. Mortoi
from the steamer Star umpired ef
ficiently.

live bouts on the card and everyone
was a corker. The S. A. <J., hali was
packed. Ei4nis . weighed ^n at 125
pounds and Whitney 126. The bout
was a scheduled six.rounder, .two
minutes each.
MAIN EVENT
Whitney took a six.count in the first
stanza and went to his corner seem,
ingly tired. It was Ennis’ round by a
fair margin.
Round two opened up with Ennis
sinking Whitney to his knees; Ehnis
could not top a swing already started
and- cracked Whitney again on the
head while Whitney was on the floor.
A wild yell arose from the fans and
Ennis walked to a corner disgusted
with himself. Whitney, stiil on his
hands and knees, smiled, shook his
head and refused to permit a foul
being called; then rose up and waded
into Ennis again, wiillingly but very
wild. Ennis’ round.
Followng a brief interchange at the
opening of the third, Ennis sent Whit,
uey to the floor for a nine count. At
the count of 10 Whitney was up but
simultaneously one of his seconds
threw in a towel. Rocking on his feet,
all but out, Whitney did not know—
nor did anyone else for a moment—
seem to know what it was all about.
Matters were finally straightened out
and game Whitney again faced his
opponent sending him thru the ropes
as the gong sounded.
The fourth and last round saw
Whitney dive to the canvas again soon
after the bell. He took a nine count
once more. Ennis (measured him this
time and sent him down for keeps
with a right hook.
Whitney was later awarded a spec
ial prize of $10 for his gameness and
aggressiveness. Ennis was too heady
a boxer for him and carried too much
dynamite in both hands.
THE SEMI.FINAL
“Smiling Rosebud” Shellabarger, of
Anchorage, 164 pounds, and “Gas
House” Allen, 158 (pounds, of the XT. S.
Surveyor, were the seml.finallsts in a
