POPULAR SALESMAN TO PITCH
JULY 4 GAME IN FAIRBANKS
Glen Carrington, the aggressive
sporting goods salesman and author
ity on most all kinds of sports, will
leave the last of the week for other
parts of Alaska and expects to return
to Anchorage about the 20th of July,
Glen is arranging his itinerary as tc
be in Fairbanks to pitch the Fourth of
July game between the Alaska sales
men and Fairbanks business men. This
event is one of the annual sporting ev
ents on the city’s calendar and not
only is a source of revenue for char
ity but affords considerable amuse
ment for the public.
Incidentally Mr. Carrington handed
Manager Hobart twenty bucks last
night to be used in the cause.
Manager F. A. Hansen is in the city
1 stopping at the Crescent and says the
Potter Creek team had a good work
out Sunday; in fact he said that they
even missed supper to take advantage
i of the light.
Thompson or Van Devere will oc
cupy the mound for Potter Creek Sun
day against Welch or Brownie, for the
City.
The local diamond is in bad shape
and needs considerable working over
to put ;t in proper condition for the
opening game next Sunday.
J. Storm objects to being called
“Stormy” but judging from the whirl
wind manner he cavorts around the
third sack the name will stick.
For the week ending May 12th the
following high scores were made on
the Hobart alleys: Ganty 243, Taddy
i 231 and Moses 197.
“Five Back” has supplanted ten pins
in popularity on the local bowling aK
; levs.
__
Tod Cunningham will represent the
' Times at the opening game at Matan
i uska next Sunday.
No official reply has been received
from the A. E. C. Athletic association
in regard to the field day meet with
the city. Several of their aspirants,
however, have signified a willingness
to compete and the matter will prob
ably be left to Director O. A. Kenyon.
Secretary Fleischmann has ordered
5,000 grand stand tickets to be sold
at 50 cents a throw.
Fanning bees are now the order of
the day and even the habititudes of
Tex Jone’s Pan Handle leave war dis
cussion alone long enough to talk of
the comparative merits of the differ
ent players.
No bets of moment have been placed
on either of the opening games, al
though the A. E. C. is the favorite
over the Farmers while it is a toss up
between the City and Totter creek.
The following high scores were
made on the Recreation alleys last
week: Jepson 224, Hegstrom 210 and
Brandt 202.
In anticipation of the honor Tony
Flores is busy these days getting fam
iliar with the new rules. Tony will

probably umpire the first game next
Sunday between the city and Potter
Creek. His work last season was
above par and he has no connection,
other than friendly, with either of the
four teams.
Young Viking recently made a rec
ord left handed high score on the Re
creation alleys. Viking’s score stands
at 180 for the ten frames.
Manager Kobarts has a new man in

j who will show up for practice this ev

Dr. J. T. Westermann plays no fav

the city or A. E. C. team.
The Farmers went through a stren

are confident of winning the opening
game next Sunday against the A. E.
C.

i Tommie Thompson will probably
captain the Totter Creek team and the
management could make no mistake
in this selection. Tommie is one of
the headiest players in the league and
popular with his team mates.
The feature in baseball so far this
season is the remarkable record of
Paul Strand pitching for Seattle yes
terday against the hard hitting Spo
kane team. Strand hung up the Pa
cific coast pitching record by going
through the entire nine innings with
out permitting a single man to reach
first‘base. It was a great game being
marked by sensational fielding by both
team; game ended Seattle 1-Spokane
0.
GEN. WOOD FAVORS RACING.
Declares Country Is Sadly In Need of
Right Kind of Cavalry Horses.
A letter from Major Cieueral Leonard
Wood to August Belmont, chairman
of the Jockey club of New Y'ork, was
made public recently. Mr. Belmont's
reply was also given out. The subject
of both communications was tbe rela
tion of racing as a sport to tbe war
and the effect of the war upon the
breeding of thoroughbreds for military
purposes.
In his letter General Wood expressed
the fear that the recent fire at Belmont
park might further interfere with the
development of thoroughbreds. lie de
clared that the country is sorely In
need of the right kind of cavalry horse
and added that the government's stable
is for the most part composed of mon
grel animals incapable of giving proper
service on tbe field of battle.
In his reply to General Wood Mr.
Belmont said that he believed that It
was of utmost importance to continue
racing during the war "not as an en
tertainment and sport for our commu
nity, although that is not a wholly neg
ligible reason, but because, as you very
rightly say. ‘there never was a time in
the history of the country when we
were more In need of the right kind of
horse for military purposes.’ ”•
TENNISERS JOIN ARMY.
Cracks Elect to Fight For Uncle Sam
Inutead of For Titles.
Several of the ranking tennis players
of the east are preparing for military
service and may lay aside the racket
for the rifle. It. Norris Williams II.,
national singles champion, is prepar
ing at Governors island, New York, for
service with the artillery.
George M. Church, who eliminated
Kumagae, the Japanese champion, last
autumn in the national tournament,
has given up all idea of titular play
and is studying for the aviation corps.
Dean Mathey, Watson M. Washburn
and Karl II. Behr are preparing for
examinations for commissions. Other
players of fame have entered or soon
will enter service, thus eliminating
themselves from tournament competi
tion this summer.

BILLY SUNDAY GETS A PASS.
Former Ball Player Remembered by
President of National League.
Billy Sunday received a season pas3
from John K. Tener, president of the
National league, and the baseball com
munity of New York will be glad to
] learn that Mr. Sunday intends to make
! use of it.
Tbe gift from the National league
' bead was tendered in tbe spirit of ap
| predation for wbat Mr. Sunday has
j done for the national game. In 1883
the famous revivalist was a big league
outfielder in Chicago. John K. Tener
was a pitcher on the Boston team in
the same circuit, and the occasions
wero many when they faced each oth
er on the diamond.

REAL TIE GAME WAS
PLAYED IN BROOKLYN
Teams Wore Even In Nearly
Every Phase Gf Competition.
One of the most remarkable tie
games, and the only real one on rec
ord, was played at Brooklyn on Au
13, 1910, between the Brooklyn and
Pittsburgh teams. It was merely suffi
cient for them to score an equal num
ber of runs to meet tiie prosaic idea of
a tio. But they went further and tied
every total in the box score. They
had the same number of players at
bat, who made tho same number of
lilts and, compatible with a tie, scored
the same number of runs. The teams
hud the same number of putouts, the
same number of assists and the same
number of errors.
To emphasize further the remarkable
In coincidences, each team had ten
men In its lineup. Including two pitch
ers. Now, these pitchers struck out
the same number of batsmen, five;
gave the same number of bases on
balls, three, und hit the same number
of batters, one. Can the most active
baseball Imagination conjure up a
more extraordinary situation?
But these do hot include all the con
current Incidents of the game. The
two catchers each had one passed ball,
the second basemen each had the same
number of lilts and runs, and the short
stops had the same number of safe
ties. It will be a number of years, if
ever, before this game of Aug. 13, 1910,
is paralleled. It was the second game
of a double header and was cut short
after the ninth inning on account of
darkness.
