Art Schonbeck was given the honor
to buy baseball ticket No. 1.
Prognostication for tomorrow —
Weather favorable, day bright and
clear with mild southerly wind.
Athletic park has certainly been put
in first class shape. The grand stand
has been repaired and cleaned, play
ers benches repaired, diamond leveled
and in fact everything consistent has
been done by the management to fur
ther the sport. Baths and toilets will
be installed as soon as possible.
Hunt and Nofskar, with the City
team last year, will leave in a few
days for a prospecting trip on the
Kahiltna.
Magnus has been selected as the
second umpire and will make the de
cisions in the A. E. C.-Farmer game
at Matanuska tomorrow.
J. C. Sheets will play center field
for the City in tomorrow’s game. Jim
mie is fast and a valuable player and
Manager Robarts is fortunate in sign
ing him.
It looks propitious for a perfect day
and town fans and baseball enthusi
asts are anxious to hear the umpire
cry “play ball.” Game starts prompt
ly at 3 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
The fans should not expect too much
from the players in tomorrow’s game,
for it is the first game of the season
and neither team has had much oppor
tunity to practice or develop team
work.
Kluman, late of Seattle, arrived in
Anchorage on the S. S. Alameda and
has accepted a position in the athletic
department of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission. Mr. Kluman will
catch for the Commision team this
season and advance agents say he is a
star.
Manager Mills announces his bat
tery for tomorrow’s game as Costello
and Kluman to work against the
Farmers at Matanuska. The balance
of the team will be Wilford, Duncan,
Rochon, Tiffany, Chesterfield, Levine,
Mills, Steffie, Aumann and Leahy.
This is a hard hitting aggregation and
the boys feel confident of annexing the
winning game and even go so far as to
claim the pennant. For a fact, they
do look the best on paper and have the
advantage, most of them at least, of
having previously worked together.
There will be two fans at tomor
row’s game who will also see every
other game this season unless sickness
or death intervenes, for no other pow
er could keep them away. They will
probably sit near each other as they
did all last season and comment on
how the game should be played and
occasionally roast the players; at least
D. B. Van Derlip will let his voice be
heard and he is among the king of
rooters. Mr. Van Derlip will appear
for Potter Creek tomorrow but is in
in a quandary when it comes to a
match game between Potter and the
A. E. C., but it is a safe bet that he
will stay with Potter throughout the
IMMMM MMMMMMMMWMIdiMWMMI
season. L. F. Shaw, his teammate, is
responsible for the first Seward-An
chorage series in this city and is a
close follower of the game and has
done much to promote clean sports in
Anchorage. Mr. Shaw usually has lit
tle to say at the games but like Mr.
Van Derlip is an enthusiastic and
faithful fan.
The opening game tomorrow after
noon between the City and Tumagain
Arm will start promptly at 3 o’clock
with Tony Flores officiating as um
pire. Welch and Kline will work for
the City am: either Van Devere or
Thompson will pitch for Hansen’s
team. There is no way to get a line
on the teams until after the game and
the boys from the Arm are starting
under the handicap of lack of practice.
Several old faces will be seen in their
line-up—Van Devere, Thompson, Fin
negan, Loudermilch and O’Neill. In
the City team will be Nichols, Henry,
Dorwin, Daykin, Powrie, Brown and
Brownie, Storm, Welch and Kline.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening game. Secretary Fleisch
mann anounces that he has made all
arrangements for the two teams to
march from Robarts’ billiard and|
bowling parlors to the park where
President De Long will usher in the
season’s schedule by throwing the first
ball to Dr. J. T. Westermann, behind
the bat. This custom is in vogue in
every well regulated community and
the honor usually, as in this case, goes
to the celebrities. Other prominent
men in government and commercial
circle will also have a hand in prop
erly starting the season and will sup
port baseball in Anchorage just so
long as it is clean and sportsmanlike.
Just because two players hit and
run doesn’t particularly signify that
they are cowards.
Manager Jack Robarts comes out in
a flat statement that he will run a
gentleman’s team or none at all and
insists that the players play clean
baseball. This is right, not only in
reference to the City team but all of
them, and “here’s hoping” we can go
through the entire season without any
unnecessary friction. This doesn’t
necessarily mean that we are to have
dummy baseball for without the cer
tain amount of legitimate crabbing
the game would lose one of its distinc
tive features.
This season is eight days in advance
of last, when the Shamrocks played
the A. E. C. on May 28 on the govern
ment grounds; Shamrocks 9, A. E. C.
4. This was followed by a game on
Decoration Day between the City and
Shamrocks which was won by the
City, 7 to 3.
