J. H. Flickinger, who aside from
ably managing the local office of the
Alaska Steamship Company, finds
time to take part in local athletics,
when asked yesterday which handball
team in his opinion was the hardest
he and his playing mate had run up
against in the tournament which is
now nearing an end, remarked he
would say the team of Balderston
Jones. Out of the many series play
ed the above named .team were the
only ones who took two out of three
games played with him which was
on Wednesday evening. His second
choice was Blue-Painter though he
admitted that at the time they played
the latter Mr. Painter had just re
covered from a severe cold. “But
as far as that goes” he added, “they
were all tough and we evidently had
a horse shoe hovering over us all
the time.”
Presentation of the medals will be
made at the completion of the tourn
ament.

AT THE LIBERTY
Once again Rod La Rocque has
given a characterization way above
<the average. Like “Braveheart”
which we had not long ago, this is
a logical tale besides being a .thriller.
It is the ideal movie, fast action,
much feeling, beautiful sentiment,
cowardice and bravery. Unusual, in
that it has no fight scenes, and yet,
has • an extra gripping climax when
the supposed coward proves himself
a hero.
There are practically no love or
passion exhibitions, and yet the
finest type of love—a girl for a man
—is vividly shown in a beautiful
way.
Everybody who saw it were
charmed.
And “Our Gang” were at their best
in the two reel comedy.

Baby John Brown Wishert Rodger,
five months old, is a claimant for the
title of the youngest American to
make oath to the statements in a pass
port request and have a passport is

was accepted in Washington and a
passport issued.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rodger, the
baby’s parents, are from Scotland.
Baby John will be an American citi
zen automatically when he is 21, but
when his father and mother prepared,
to sail for a visit to their old home
|
they found that he and his three
L
year-old sister Margaret would have
ot have passports.
Take in the Liberty tonight.
Lucky says: It’s darkest
before dawn. Cheer up, he’s
back!
