The first game was called in the sixth inning on account of | rain and the second game con- cluded at the end of the third in- ning, in a sea of mud, which would have been great for a football contest. In the first game, Juneau against | the Alaska Native Brotherhood, the Capital City nine won by a score of 14 to 5. This was called in the sixth inning on account of rain. The Juneau battery was McAlister, Koski, Grummett and Gray. The second game, between Ju- neau and the Sitka All-Stars, re- | sulted in a 6 to 0 score for the visitors. The Juneau battery was Foster and Robertson. The game | was only a three-inning affair as| the mud prevented further play. | The rain was the first Sitka hes had since early spring. The Estebeth left here at 1 o'clock this morning on the return | trip to Juneau and is due there| early this evening. | ————— CHIEF'S WIFE LEAVES | BRINGING UP FATHER SPORT SLANTS From “Tinker to Evers to Chance” —the old infield trio of the Chicago | Cubs, like scores of other famed | combinations of past years, is scat- | tered all over the nation.
