FIRST DEFEAT
OF SOLDIERS
The 14th Infantry bowling team
met their first defeat out of 33 games
Wednesday night and the Moose team
had the honor of breaking the long
string of victories. Due mostly to the
prowess of Doc Daykin, the Moose
trimmed the soldiers by a total of 96
pins in the three games. Daykin made
trie season’s alley record by knocking
down 247 pins in the ten frames. In
addition to this remarkable score he
made high average of 201 for the
three games. The 14th, however, are
still far in the lead and stand a good
chance to cop the silver trophy.
Robarts and Blanton lowered the
colors of Sheets and Graves last night
by beating them 97 pins out of a total
of five games. Jack made the high
score of 210 and high average of 188;
Sheets was a close second with an
average of 181. The game drew a big
crowd of rooters and was very excit
ing all the way through. The losers
have asked for a return match that
has been arranged for one night next
week on the Robarts alleys.

DR. AND MRS. SPAULDING
RETURN FROM OUTSIDE TRIP
Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Spaulding re
turned yesterday from a three months’
trip to the states and will be the
guests of Mrs. Milo Kelly for a few
days before continuing their journey
to Knik.
They made the trip over the trail
from Seward with Al Chamberlain
and the Herr Doctor says that Al is
about the best musher in this part of
Alaska and has a splendid dog team,
but that from now on it is the steamer
line and salt water for the Spaulding
family.
The Spauldings visited Mrs. Spauld
ing’s people in Denver for several
weeks before starting on their ex
tended tour to Trinidad, the Grand
canyon, San Francisco and other points
in California. They also stopped off
several days in Portland for a visit
with friends and report a very pleas
ant and. profitable trip. Dr. Spauld
ing said that the country in general
was experiencing exceptionally good
times, with a country-wide trend to
wards prohibitions. He said that
Alaska and especially Anchorage, was
occupying a prominent place in the
outside newspapers and that he was
repeatedly asked many and various
questions regarding the conditions of
this part of the territory. The doctor
predicts a veritable hegira to Anchor
age from the states this spring on ac
count of the publicity the country has
received, exploiting the many natural
resources and the knowledge of gov
ernment railroad.
This is the first trip the Spauldings
have' taken to the states for three
years and while they say they had a
delightful time visiting with their re
lations and old friends and taking in
the sights of the different cities, they
are both glad to get back to Alaska.
They expect to visit in Anchorage for
a week or ten days before going to
Knik to make arrangements for the
season in the Willow creek district,
where they have established a hospital
at mile 32 in connection with the doc
tor’s professional duties as physician
for the different mines of that region.
