"ICES" DEEFRT ARMY
The City “Aces,” a gang of selected
indoor baseballers famous for their
prowess in swatting the horsehide far
and wide andi n gathering up slash
ing drives and Texas leaguers, launch
ed surprise attack on the defense of
the Army lads during last evening’s
game at the S. A. C. gymnasuim. At
the end of the drive the City result
showed they had captured 17 as
against the Army’s 8.
Unfortunately the first serious ac
cident ever to have taken place du
ring an indoor game since the club
was organized, occurred when Chas.
Sheldon, racing home from third base,
was struck over the eye from a bat
which cracked when being wielded
by Hopkins. A remarkable display of
grit was exhibited by Mr. Shendon,
who remained on Ills feet regardless
of the fact that the blow was a terrif
fic one and cut a large gash. In all
probability the wound will require
several stitches.
The accident put a damper on the
game for a -while.
“Babe. Ruth” Baker, outstanding
slugger of the league, used dynamite
instead of black powder when at the
plate, but with the exception of one
homer, could not bring his team home
to victory. Hopkins, classy shortstop ,
of the Aces, equalled Baker’s prowess
at bat, being credited with a homer.
Batteries were: Vale and Shell
horn for the Aces; Baker, Robinson
and Uride for the Army.
Umpires were Dyer and McEwen.
The next game is scheduled for
Thursday night when the Army will '
take on either the Aces or the Fire
men.

With only one member present, the
Territorial Canvassing Board met at'
Juneau in the office of Gov. George |
A. Parks. J. C. McBride, U. S. Col- j

Mr. McBride formally opened the
meeting then adjourned it owing to
the absence of Gov. Parks who is
the remaining member. The session
will be adjourned from day to day,
it was announced.
Not all of the returns have been
received it was stated at the Gover
nor’s office. There are a number of
precincts missing .several of which i
are located in the Third Division
where the race for Senator was un
usually close. It is expected it will
be necessary to await all the missing
returns before the Board can an
nounce the results in that race.
Recently received reports from the
Third Division showed Arthur Frame,
Republican, of Anchorage, leading
Senator A. J. Dimond, Democrat, of
Valdez, by about 60 votes with four;
or five precincts unreported. The
missing vote, it was said might re
verse the present standing.

LIEUT. JONES PUSSES!
j The dispatch published in the Gate
1 way yesterday regarding the War De
partment’s announcement of the eco
! nomic change from wolfskin robes,
i heretofore issued to the Army in
! Alaska, to a down-filled comfort, was
i the result of a survey made last year
by Lieut. Homer W. Jones, of the
i local Signal Corps. At that time
; Lieutenant Jones pointed out, aside
from the large cost of the robes, they
were entirely too heavy to sleep under
in comfort. A large saving has thus
been effected by the government in
adopting the recommendation.
