The Farmers are giving a baseball
dance at Matanuska tomorrow night.
The lawn tennis courts are being
levelled, rolled and put in shape for
play.
Only one day more and the season
starts with Potter Creek at Anchor
age and A. E. C. at Matanuska.
The mighty bear hunters who have
been bombarding around Snug harbor
for the past week are expected home
Saturday.
Ed. Olson and Frank Nurman, fol
lowers of Isaac Walton, left this
morning for a week-end fishing trip
in the lakes around Wassilla.
Tom Finnegan, who played second
base for Seward last year, will occu
py the same position with Hansen’s
team this season.
There are many skaters in the sum
mertime and Anchorage has been full
of winter baseball players; the crucial
time is at hand and to save embar
rassment let us hope they won’t have
to resort again to skates.
Manager Mills sprung a new one on
the banker-athlete yesterday when he
suggested tobacco spit for the new
Louisville slugger. Doc immediately
borrowed and spat. The result was
remarkable.
In the good old days one bat for
nine players was considered plenty,
two bordering on opulence and three
supreme extravagance; now, even in
our own little league, each player is
entitled to his own individual bat and
woe unto the unsuspecting who even
deigns to caress it.
To properly usher in the baseball
season and give “chic” to the affair
the Episcopal Guild will be hostesses
at a Japanese Fete at Robarts’ hall
tomorrow night. It is thoroughly un
derstood, however, that the ladies are
doing this merely in recognition of
the auspicious occasion and are in no
manner standing sponsors for the
season’s schedule.
Mayor Watts put a force of men to
work yesterday afternoon on Athletic
Park and everything will be in shape
for the opening game Sunday. ripe
lines have been laid to the bath rooms
and the infield; the outfields will be
lengthened and the back stop re
paired. The work is being done un
der the supervision of J. E. Powrie
which is a guarantee that it will be
done right for Jimmie is a qualified
engineer as well as a devotee of
sports.
Jimmie Hill is in from Rainbow
creek and is stopping at the White
House until after the opening game
next Sunday. He has been appointed
leader of the anvil chorus who will ac
company the Potter creek team to
Anchorage for Sunday’s game and
feels confident that they will win.
Jimmie is an old time baseball player,
and an ardent devotee of the game.
When he isn’t talking baseball he
capably represents the Alaskan En
gineering commission on the Turn
agin Arm division in the T. and T. de
partment.
The directors of the Cook Inlet
Baseball league met last night and
settled several important questions
relative to the season’s schedule and
the management of the games. Sec
retary Fleischmann was delegated
with power to represent the league at
all games and settle any dispute that
might arise. The treasurer was in
structed to make payment on the out
standing debt from money derived
from the baseball dance and to hold the
$200 received from the four teams in
reserve. President De Long was ap
pointed a committee of one to con
fer with the city administration in
regard to the work on the diamond
and grand stand. The league will hold
another meeting next Wednesday
night at the Bank of Alaska.
His friends all want to see “Mickey”
Costello pitch and win the opening
game against the Fanners Sunday at
Matanuska. Micky pitched phenomin
al ball all last season and under par
ticularly trying circumstances—sans
support, except from the grand stand.
In the face of adverse conditions
Mickey won very few games last
season but never gave up, and was us
ually going strong in the last of the
ninth. One game, for instance, which
he lost 7 to 2 against the Shamrocks
he had 17 strikeouts, passed two and
allowed one measly little hit, by Ro
chon, which Tiff, Nicholls or Rochon,
himself, could have gathered in. And
too, the hit came in the last of the
ninth, a little pop up over short.
Paskert, playing short that day, was
charged with seven errors, and right
eously.
This season with Chesterfield, Ro
chon, Tiffany and Wilford supporting
him on the infield he is bound to go
good and will be with the runners—up
at the end of the season.
