FEWER TEAMS MEANS
MUCH BETTER BASEBALL
Much comment and opposition is
heard on all sides in regard to six
teams being? allowed to enter in the
Cook Inlet gteseball league. The op
position comes from the fans and
players alike and is well founded. The
fact that there are only two available
diamonds to play on, Anchorage and
Matanuska, will make it almost im
possible to arrange a schedule to the
satisfaction of six teams and would
necessitate son^e one of the teams lay
ing idle two or'three weeks at a time.
Again there are not enough real base
ball players itt the country to compose
aix teams and the result would be that
each team would probably have sev
eral players of real class and the bal
ance be very ordinary, thereby spoil
ing the team. Four teams would be
much bettered the reasons are logi
cal.
The Times is of the opinion that the
directors, duly elected, are assuming
and have overlooked the important
fact that the voice of the people should
be listened to and due consideration
taken of their opinion. Totally in the
interests of the national game and in
support of the attendance, it would be
jmuch more sensible to have fewer
teams and better baseball.
It is understood that six teams have
qualified and if the directors reverse
their ruling and form a four club
league it will be the unpleasant duty
and thankless job of the directors to
do the eliminating, bearing in mind
the teams that played last season.
There is no question but that the mat
ter will adjust itself to the mutual
satisfaction and approval of all and
that Anchorage will have a well regu
lated league composed of real baseball
players. The fans by the hundreds
are looking forward to an exciting sea
son and they will not be disappointed.
Interest and enthusiasm is apparent
on every hand and the spirit of com
mercialism should be a minor consid
eration. The people have spoken and
it is now up to the directors of the
league.
AROUND TOWN
Larry Byrne left on the morning
train for Potter creek to be gone sev
eral days on business with District En
gineer F. A. Hansen.
R. L. Kimmel died at his home yes
terday afternoon and the body is in
charge of the Wood Undertaking com
pany waiting shipment to the outside.
Mrs. F. A. Dickson and George Hil
leary won first prize and Mrs. H.
Seidenverg the consolation at last
night’s card game at the Labor Tem
ple.
The management of the local cafes
and restaurants recently held a meet
ing and mutually agreed on an ad
vance in prices, to take effect the first
of April.
The sports of the city have formed
a pool at Robarts and are backing
their guess on the time the Alameda
drops anchor off the government dock.
The pool is still open.
The members of the Odd Fellows
lodge will hold their annual ball in the
Labor Temple Thursday night, April
26th, in commemoration of the 98th
anniversary of the order in America.
Unofficial reports were freely cir
culated on the streets this morning
that the S. S. Alameda reached Sew
ard this morning at 8 o’clock and sail
ed for Anchorage at 1 o’clock this
afternoon.
All members of the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce are requested
to be present at tonight’s meeting to
assist in making arrangements for
some sort of celebration in honor of
the arrival of the steamer Alameda,
due here tomorrow.
“Paddy the Dane,” occasionally call
ed Charles Peters, came down from
Kings river yesterday afternoon and
'after calling on a few Fourth avenue
friends, engaged space ih the 'govern
ment hospital. Paddy will be confined
several days on account of severe kid
ney trouble and will be under the care
of Dr. Beeson.
School children are busy on the
streets selling tickets for the much
talked of cabaret to be given Saturday
night at Robarts hall under the aus
pices of the Parent-Teachers’ associ
ation. The artists, both local and
from the outside, are daily practicing
their stunts that breathe of Sherry’s
and Rector’s.
The directors of the Cook Inlet
Baseball league held their regular
meeting last night and settled several
important questions. Secretary Fleish
mann gave in his report of the meet
ing Sunday with the different man
agers and brought up several points
of mutual interest that were thorough
ly discussed but held over until the
next meeting for a vote.
Reward—A suitable reward has
been offered to the wizard who can
find or invent a suitable serum that
will kill the popular grippe germ pre
valent in Anchorage. The meeting
was attended by about 75 per cent of
the sniffling, sneezing, suffering popu
lation of the city and the action met
with no opposition except from physi
cians and druggists. Rockefeller and
Carnegie and other philanthropists
will be appealed to for the establish
ment of a research fund. In the mean
while the sniffling and sneezing goes
merrily on.
In the way of complimentary escort
the government steamer Anne W. is
accompanying the Alameda to Anchor
age. These two steamers are due to
arrive in the embryo government har
bor tomorrow and Walter DeLong,
who has charge of the matter, says
“We’ll unload ’em,” and they will. Ad
mitting that there is considerable ice
in the harbor and other disadvantages
to compete with, it is well that Mr. De
Long has the necessary authority to
handle the unloading and the mar
chants of Anchorage know that he will
deliver the goods. The floating equip
ment is available and an adequate
force ready to handle the cjurgo with
safety and dispatch.

ARRIVAL OF STEAMER
WILL MARK BEGINNING
OF THE SPRING SEASON
—
The pessimist, always present, is ex
pressing unnecessary anxiety in re
gard to the arrival of the good steam
er Alameda; probably not so much as
to the safe arrival, but more particu
larly as to the embarking of the nine
ty and nine first class possengers and
the discharging of the cargo. On the
other hand the optimist, never absent,
is already, so soon, planning on his
combination salad and has a vivid pic
ture in his “mind’s eye” of a large
plate of green stuff, surrounded by
fruit and with a background of juicy
lamb chops. And just to show that
there is no hard feeling and partly
from a well established custom, he will
probably order “bacon and.” In ad
dition to the popular grippy germ,
that has taken Anchorage by storm
and caused an advance in the price of
handkerchiefs, there is a prevailing
feeling of optimism and hope in the
air that is contagious. The long faces
of a month ago have been replaced by
smiles; the gruff morning greeting has j
given way to a cheery “Good morning,;
Carrie,” the salute of the night wind :
is caressing and even the banker has I
extended the days of grace.
Anchorage has passed through an
exceptionally pleasant winter; the ver
satile social calendar worked in har
mony with the winter’s sports, and
then there was the long tongue of
“Madam Grundy" and the equally long
arm of the law to give the necessary
diversion and relieve the monotony.
However, it must be admitted that
the advent of the first steamer will be
a relief and the first sound of “here
she comes” will be equally as welcome
as the ringing, penetrating blast an
nouncing her arrival. It is up to the
citizenship of Anchorage to celebrate
the accasion and give proper vent to
their feelings and welcome the pas
sengers. This should be done even
though it takes the form of harmoni
ous sounds of ringing bells, clash of
drums; make a noise and be there with
cymbals, blare of trumpets and beat of
the welcoming hand. Nor should it be
confined to any particular class but
should be the result of the combined
efforts of the citizens and the admin
istration.
Just think what an honor it will be
to hold your’s or any old body’s grand
child on your knees and point to the
harbor fairly teeming with steamers
and merchantmen and alive with activ
ity and say that you spent the last
steamerless winter in Anchorage—the
winter of ’16-’17.
