AWHORAUK, ALASKA. SA'ITK.DAY. APRIL 28, 1!»I7.
PLAY BALL.
For tin* purpose of providing wholesome amusement tor
the people of this and neighboring communities, the ( ook Inlet
baseball league has been formed, ami four teams will contest
for the championship of this part of Alaska. I’y thus organiz
ing and placing baseball on a lmsiness-like basis, patrons will
be assured of a better class ,,f ball, more interest will be awak
ened. and tin* players themselves, who provide the entertain
ment for the public, will receive a merited remuneration, suffi
cint at least to justifv them in devoting their leisure hours to
the national sport.
In order to wipe out all indebtedness remaining on the
building of the baseball grounds, the erection of a grandstand
and other necessary expenses, a grand ball is announced to take
place in Kobarts’ hall tonight, the entire proceeds, save a few
incidental expenses, to be devoted to this purpose. Here is
a matter that should appeal to the public generally. I lie in
habitants of the (’ook inlet country are essentially a hard work
ing people. They are entitled to n little relaxation and a little
pleasure and surcease from the daily grind. < hi the holidays,
they can pass a most pleasant afternoon in -eeing an exciting
baseball contest, played by young men who know the game.
Two years ago, the Seward team visited Anchorage. Hue
to lack of organization, with neither head nor tail to the man
agement of the local team, there was no definite understanding
with respect t<> defraying the legitimate expenses <>f the v isit
ing team, a custom so common that it is taken for granted as
an invariable rule. 'Fin* manager of the Seward team a true
sportsman—was naturally peeved at the reception bis men re
ceived in this community, and knowing tin* writer of these
lines, laid the situation before him. The result was that it re
mained for a comparatively few men to dig in their pockets
for the honor of the town and see that the vicitors* expenses
were paid. A situation like this will not occur again, because
the Cook inlet baseball league is officered by competent busi
ness men arid baseball matters will be conducted on a business
basis. Now, visiting teams may come and lie fittingly received
and be assured that their legitimate expenses have been pro
vided for in advance.
Personally, we don’t know tlii> man Willis, a sturdy Alas
kan who lias mushed over a long and weary trail to plaee Ids
serv ices at the government’s disposal, now that war is on with
(lermany. but one thing we do know —and that is, that this ua
lion lias need ol’ men of this stamp—self-sacrificing fellows
who arc willing, for love of country, to forego all else and give
their serv ices, voluntarily, to their native land.
“Keep your mouth closed and obey the law." was the
terse, but expressive1 advice given by Attorney-General Greg
ory, when asked by a German subject in this country as to
what lie should do.
COMMUNICATED.
Editor The Times April 'll. 1017.
()ir my return from Turnagain Arm yesterday my atten
tion was directed to the fact that there had occurred two or
throe cases of ptomaine poisoning early in the week supposed
Jy from having eaten tainted chicken at a local cafe.
The matter has been made the subject of an investigation
and while there appears to have been two authentic cases of
ptomaine poisoning there have also been other eases of similar
nature during the past week in which the patients partook of
no meat at all and in which the meals were home cooked.
The shipment of chicken in question was received by the
market March Ml, and has been distributed all over town and
no reports of other cases have come to light. Examination ot
1 lie shipment shows the fowls to be in very good condition.
Examination of conditions at the cafe shows that the meth
ods are good and meet with my approval. Some fowls from
the same lot are on hand and are in perfect condition so that I
have no fear of a m-urrence of any such condition as the past.
It is the desire of this office to prevent, so far as is possible, the
serving of tainted meat to the public and in this we appear to
have the heartv co-operation of all cafe proprietors.

APRIL RECORDS ARE NOW IN
A Victrola can make the home a church, an opera house, a recital hall,
a theatre, a vaudeville show, symphony hall—and yet it makes the Home a
better Home than ever!
We have just received a record by Mischa Elman lhe Orientale by
Ce’sar Cui. You must hear it to fully appreciate the charm of this pieic.
We have heard so much recently of Mme Galli Curci, that we were ver>
anxious to hear her sing. Her rendition of the Valse Aria from Romeo and
Juliet is wonderful. It brings hack memories of Melba, Sembrich and
Pinkert at the Metropolitan and Manhattan Opera. She also sings Home
Sweet Home” in English, and I’d just as soon have her record as Patti s.
John McCormack sings “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.” Whoever
heard Chauncey Olcott in “The Isle of Dreams” will be glad to hear this song
again and particularly the man who has charmed the continent with the sun
shine and radiance of his presence almost as much as with the wonder of
his lyric tenor voice.
Herbert Witherspoon sings.“Arm, Arm, W Brave,” from Handels Ora
toria, “Judas Maccabalus.” The oratorio was composed in 1746 and is one
of the most magnificent of Handel’s works.
For the lovers of chamber music we have a double record "lhe \ acant
Chair,” and “I Can Not Sing the Old Songs.” The two melodies are both
quiet reveries which lend themselves to the ethereal beauty of \ iolin, Cello
and Piano combination.
And then for a change we have some delightful rag One-Steps. Some
thing new—on a piano. About twenty-three centuries ago Aristoxenous of
Tarentum said about all that is worth saying about rhythm. Nevertheless,
we imagine that Mr. Aristoxenous would be astonished if he could hear some
of his theories tried out in modern ragtime as played by Harry 1 homas on
the Piano—Imagine the philosopher dancing a modern One-Step! Yet the
music can’t make your feet behave.
'l he latest popular hits-—“The Miracle of Love,” “lhe Magic ot 7 our
Eyes,” and “My Rosau for You,” Hawaiian Songs and Guitars, “Our Old
Friend Mr. Goldstein Who Is Arrested for Speeding,” Swedish, French, Rus
sian, Polish, Greek and Yiddish records—are opened up and ready for your
inspection and trial.
We have a contract with the Victor people for new records coming out
every month and will announce them as they come in.
