Petworth's errors came at inopportune

misplays had little infiuance on the
score.
Brightwood won the game in the fifth
inning. With the score l to l. Robertson
singled to center. but Seitz let the ball
go through his legs and Robertson went
all the way to third. He and Fague then
worked the squeeze play. Robertson
LIE Due let Fague's bunt get away from
him. Fague stole second and went to
third when Donnelly singled to left Don
nelly also stole and both scored when
Fentress drove a liner into left center
for one sack.
Dick Robertsc4 twirled a good game
for Brightwood. He struck out twelve
men and only walked one. He allowed
six hits. but only one of the half dozen
was of the clean-cut variety, the others
being infield taps.
Mossberg played well at second base for
Petworth, accepting seven chances with
out a sip-up. He also drove out hit,
Buck Stewart also put up good game

Although they were outplayed, the tail

not give up until the last hand was out
in their half of the eighth inning.
Thompson. the former Georgetown Uni
versity foot ball player, made his debut
in the league when he mounted the rub
Der for the Telephone team. He pitched
a good game and kept the seven hits OF
the Printing Office team well scattered.
Thompson famed five batters, passed
two and hit one.
Smithson started the twirling for the
losers, but lasted only four and a third
innings. in which time the Telephone
team connected for eight hits. He pass
ed two and had two strike-outs. Lus-
corner, succeeded him and did better
work. holding the winners to three hits
for the rest of the game. He had four
strike-outs and issued two free passes

willow for the winners, connecting for a
triple and two singles out of five times
UP. Harley got the only other extra base
hit of the game when he connected for a
double. in the fifth inning.
Although Smithson displayed no abl-
ity as a pitcher he certainly gave an ex-
hibition of batting. In his four trips to
the plate he connected for safe drive
each time. Moore. Carlin and Mills got
the three other hits for the losers.
Thompson not only pitched well, bu,
played a good fielding game. He grabbed
several bunts which were rolling close tC

White in center made several good
catches. while Strictly pulled down two

An unusual act of three runners scor.
ing on an infield fly occurred in the first
inning, when with three players of the
Telephone team on bases Bladen lifted a
high one back of Smithson which Lus-
comb called for. The leather was hit
high and, as two were down at the time
all of the runners started around the
bags. The ball hit the fielder's hands and
made neat bound out again, which re-
suited in the three runners scoring before
1t could be recovered.
The only double play of the game was
pulled off by White and Bladen when the
former caught long fly in center and
threw to Bladen. mailing Smithson before

Glavis was also playing to the galleries. He has no evidence aRd we will certainly be vindicated.

Government of Alaska

The administration bill for the gov ernment of Alaska, which was intro-( dueed by Senator Beveridge on Tues- day, is, in many respects, fair, as It IS an extremely liberal, measure, from pecunisry standpoint. It does not coneede to the clearly expressed wishes of the people of Alaska for representa- tive government, but this is offset lR part by the concessions made to the territory in the matter of taxation. It does, moreover, give that important and much needed agency local legis- lative body, which can pass the laws needed for the territory on the ground and with fall Knowledge of local con ditions. By way of comparison, 1t m ay' be said that it is far better than the present governmental system of Alas ka. While it denies local self govern ment for the moment, it certainly oes pave the way for local self government in the future; and, dependent upon the character of the men chosen to admin ister the new government, it may work out in manner most eminently satis- factory to the people of the territory.
 The form of government is that of g commission, appointed by the president. Four mem bers of that commission are to have executive and administrative powers. in addition to the legislative, duties which they are called upon te perform. The other four, at least, must be chosen from among the people of Alaska, one from each district. They are to be all literally paid, which should insure the employment of men of high class,
 The liberality of the measure, as compared with all previous organic laws for the government eff territories, is in the provision that all dues and taxes under the customs and internal revenue laws, all amounts received froSz the sale of public lands, and all moneys received from the present license taxes shall go into the territorial treasury, tc be expended only under the direction of the commission, and in pursuance of laws which they shall make, This is fair treatment and will permit of pub. lie improvements being made, without awaiting the slew action of congress. While lacking the feature of local self government, the proposed new govern ment has so many and such great ad- vantages over the present one that all true friends of Alaska should unite in working fer it's passage. 1t must be remem bered that with the president opposed, as he is now, to any legisla- ture for Alaska, there is not the slight est pro bability of any such body being provided at the present time.-P.I.
