Secretary Fleischmann has sent out
his call for volunteers with instruc
tions to bring their hammers and
saws. He needs real hammers, not;
knockers, for there is important work
to be done on the ball park. The ma
terial for building the bleachers is on
the ground, even to the picks and
shovels. No one is barred and in ad
dition to it being an opportunity to
help a good cause along just think of
the needed exercise you will get by |
hammering with a real hammer. The
volunteers are earnestly requested to
be at the ball park at 6:30 o’clock this
evening and don’t forget your tools.
Butte still continues to lose consist
ently and ranks with the Boston Na
tionals and the Philadelphia Ameri
cans for the cellar position of their re
spective leagues.
Bob McAllister Wins.
In a 10-round bout at New York
last week Bob McAllister outpointed
Battling Levinskv. McAllister weigh
ed in at 164 and Levinsky at 180.
By a remarkable coincidence both
New Y'ork teams, of the American and
National leagues, have the same per
centage, .625. Chicago, of the Nation
al, and the Boston Americans also
have a rating of 20 games won and 12
lost with a percentage of .625.
By winning yesterday’s game with
both New Y'ork and Chicago, Philadel
phia jumped into first place with the
Giants and Cubs tied for second. The
Phillies have a great pitching staff
this season with Alexander the Great,
the same old puzzle to National league
batsmen.
Charlie Cameron Offers Prize.
Not to be outdone by Juneau sports
Charlie Cameron has authorized The
Times to publish the statement that he
will give a So meal ticket to the first
player making the circuit on a home
run, in next Sunday’s baseball game
on the local diamond.
Arthur Redfern, one of the best
known jockeys on the .American turf,
10 years ago, died recently in a New |
York hospital from injuries received!
in an automobile accident. Redfern
had the name as being one of the best
riders of the country and his honesty
was unquestioned.
Cren Gets Decision Over McGoorty.
Eddie McGoorty, a well known east-1
em fighter, was defeated last week at
Sydney, Australia, in a 20-round go by
Tom Uren. The mill was fast and
McGoorty stood a lot of punishment
before he took the count. Uren ranks
second to Les Darcy among the Aus-1
tralian ling men.
George M. Campbell,Stewart Max
well and several other business men
of Anchorage are planning on forming
a country club in the immediate vicin
ity of Anchorage. If the plans are:
culminated the main feature of the
club will be a golf link of 18 holes.
Perhaps the idea is a trifle premature
but it is only a question of time until
Anchorage will boast of a country
club and we know of no two young
men better qualified to push the mat
ter than Mesrs. Campbell and Max
well. At any rate Mr. Campbell said
yesterday that they were thinking
seriously of fixing at a least a nine
hole golf course and were sending out
for golf clubs and balls. There are
plenty of caddies to be hired in An
chorage and there is no question about
the hazards.
Anchorage Tennis Courts.
The tennis courts at Anchorage ter
minal will be placed in condition with
in a few days for the use of the Com
mission employees during the coming
season. Funds have been granted for
leveling the ground and doing the nec
essary rolling and tamping. The
fence surrounding the courts will be
repaired so as to make it dog-proof.
McGraw Sees Little Future For the
Champion.
Manager McGraw, of the New York
Nationals, finally has decided that Jim
Thorpe, the former amateur champion
athlete of the world, will not do for
the Giants, and he has been turned
over to the Cincinnati Reds for the
waiver price, $2,500. McGraw was
loathe to cut the Sac and Foq Indian
adrift. He took him on five training
trips, carried him through two com
plete seasons and parts of three oth
ers, but ultimately concluded he never
would learn to hit major league pitch
ers successfully, and asked for waivers
for him.
Good Players Always Handy In Big
Brush.
An evidence of the business acu
men of Charles Hercules Ebbets, own
er of the Brooklyn Nationals, is fur
nished by the sale of First Baseman
Fred Merkle to the Chicago Cubs.
The deal also illustrates that a seas
oned ball player comes high, even if
he is fading. The Cubs paid $13,000
in cash for the release of Merkle, a
good but by no means great first sack
er. No other players were involved.
Daubert being in good condition again,
Ebbets did not hesitate to take advan
tage of the plight the Cubs found
themselves in when Vic Saier broke
his leg. They needed a first baseman,
and when Manager Mitchell opened
negotiations with Ebbets for Merkle
the Dodgers’ owner readily let him go
—at his own price, a topnotch figure
for a player past his prime.

MARGUERITE CLARK
EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE j
It has been said frequently that j
daintiness cannot be reproduced on the i
screen. That this statement does not |
hold water, is proven in the magnifi- S
cent and captivating comedy of ro- jj
mantic youth in which dainty Mar- g
guerite Clark appears in motion pic- §
tures at the Empress theatre this >
Thursday and Friday, May 24 and 25. (j
Miss Clark has the title role in the g
celebrated trans-Aatlantic comedy g
success, presented for several seasons g
at the Lyceum theatre in New Y’ork i
by Daniel Frohman, and the story it g
tells is amusing and refreshing. The g
play is called “Seven Sisters,” and g
Marguerite Clark’s work in the play g
is enacted from a standpoint of mag- g
netic charm all her own, and shows J (!
her in an irresistably charming char- g
acterization. , j g
H
According to the Hungarian system §
of marriage, the daughters must be (j
wed in the order of their age. and the G
younger ones must be kept in the 1 ;>
background until the older ones are: jl
disposed of. Mici, portrayed by Miss J
Clark, is the fourth in matrimonial j i
eligibility of the “Seven Sisters.’ 5
She rebels against the system, and
falls in love with an ardent young
lieutenant. Right here humorous ■ I
complications begin, yet these senti- j \
mental problems are solved most in- j S
terestingly as the story unfolds, and a
Miss Clark as Mici, is perfectly de-1:
8
lightful. Her frankness, her wistul- a
ness, her quaint philosophy and irre- |
sistible girlishness, make the role a
completely captivating. A travel- j
ogue, quite interesting, will be an j
added feature. 108

Serious
Danger
Lurks in
Diseased
Teeth
Do not let your teeth decay and crumble away. Not only is it un
pleasant to yourself and to others; not alone does it render your breath foul
and upset your stomach. Read what no less an authority than the Encyclo
pedia Rritanmca says on this subject:
“EXPOSURE AND DEATH of the dental pulp furnishes an avenue of
entrance for disease-producing bacteria, by which invasion of the deeper tis
sues may readily take place, causing necrosis, tuberculosis, actinomycosis,
phlegmon, and other destructive inflammations, certain of which affecting the
various sinues of the head have been found to cause meningitis, chronic
enpyema, metastic-abscesses in remote parts of the body, paralysis, epilepsy
ana insanity.”
You will not necessarily contract these diseases because your teeth are
decayed, but I quote this standard authority as a means of emphasizing the
great necessity of having decayed teeth attended to promptly. Many people
‘ put off” a visit to the dentist because they fear the pain; others because they
fear the cost; some because they fear both. You need have no fear of either
if you come to me. i
HIGHEST CLASS PAINLESS
DENTISTRY AT LOWEST PRICES
This is what I offer you. This is what has made my office come to the
front the way it has. I use the very best materials that money can buy. I
oould not afford to use any other kind, because I guarantee all work that
leaves my office.

IOVERNMENT BUYS
SPUDS IN ALASKA
VALDEZ, May 7.—An important
tep toward providing a local market
or home grown products is seen in
he order by. the war department per
nitting the purchase of Alaska pota
oes for use by the signal service
tations between here and Fairbanks.
Bids will be opened at the local
able office this month for supplying
he required quantities, deliveries to
e made after harvesting the 1917
rop. This might have been done
ears ago but not until officials of
he government railroad commenced
uying local potatoes was any at- ]
empt made to vary from the old
ourse of bringing everything in from
he “outside.”
The North Pole Bakery is owned by
. sourdough who knows how to use it.
