CLERK PLEADS FOR
 SIX O'CLOCK CLOSING

DOUGLAS, March 27. To the Editor; An agreement is being circulated among the business men of this town for signatures pledging them to close their stores at p. m., except on the 16th and 17th days of each month and on Saturday evenings.
 It seems to me that the agreement should be signed. The business men of this town ought to be able to do what has been done in other towns of more and less population.
 The indications are that an eight hour day will go into effect at an early date. That will make it particularly easy for everyone to do his shopping before o'clock.
 Six o'clock closing will not only ben eft the clerks that now stay in the stores 13 and 14 hours day, but it will benefit the proprietors. With it in effect they would have a chance to show people that they are more than mere machines. How many business men in Douglas attend the shows, fire meetings, lodge meetings or other meetings such as they might attend if they had their evenings away from business?
 Proprietors and clerks alike would be benefited if they could give some of their time to these things.
 Six o'clock closing would not only make better conditions all around, but it would save the lighting bills 50 per cent in the winter time and this is quite an item in many of our mercan- tile establishments.
 The people would spend just as much at the stores They could easily do their shopping in regular hours if they knew that the stores would be closed at a specified time.
 This agreement would have gone in- to effect two years ago when the ques- JlOu "dS HISl d66iIalSu IT i' h''N HNN been that three or four houses would not sign it. The men that blocked it think they are good business men, but I think they are short-sighted rather than long.headed.
 The agreement does not include pool rooms, saloons, ice cream palors nor any of the places of amusement. It only includes the clothing, grocery, hardware and other mercantile estab- lishments that deal in the necessities.
 Juneau can close at 6 p. m., why can't Douglas?

NEW YORK. Oct. THE first syl.
liable Of the last word in baseball for
1913 will be spoken. today. Only an
act Of Congress IL lacking to make II
q national holiday. It's the start OF
the big conflict between the New
York Giants and the Philadelphia. Attn.
letics for the worlds title on the dia-
mond. With 1t comes the final blow
OF of baseball enthusiasm the coun-
cry over.
From dawn until o'clock, when
the teams were called to the field at
the Polo grounds. thousands poured
through the turnstiles. Thousands
had stood in line for hours waiting
for their turn at the ticket Office.
Hotels we're damned and subway, eie-
waited and surface cars driven to their
limit to carry the throngs to the
scene Of battle. That presents the To-
cal situation briefly.
In the grandstand at the Polo
grounds an army OF newspaper men
and telegraph operators we're on duty.
As much attention to detail has been
given to this Blue Ribbon sporting
event of the season as the newspapers
and press associations would give to
the inauguration OF a president. And
that tells how the rest OF the country
looks upon this annual baseball party.
Ii may differ from time to time as to
the contestants involved. but It a.
ways carries the same argument; the
same young fortune to be dumped into
the laps Of the players, club owners
and the National commission, and the
same opportunity for the opening OF
the throttle and the humping OF OF
the baseball season with q grand up
heaval OF American ability to whoop'-
err up.
The series starting today is the
rubber" between Manager John Nc
Graw. Of the Giants, and Connie
Mack, OF the Athletics. Twice before
these rivals have met and each has
won a worlds championship from tho
other. In 1905, McGraw won with the
Giants. In 1911, Mack's Athletics
came out victorious. Both managers
led their respective leagues in the
number of pennants they won, with
Ave each.
More than $4,000 persons stormed
the Polo grounds TO witness the game,
today. and as the players share In the
proceeds of the first four games, they
will reap harvest as a result Of the
flip Of the coin which sent the first
tussle to the Polo grounds instead OF
Shibe park. Philadelphia. The polo
grounds has greater seating capac-
ity than Shibe park. and with the first
game here, as well as the Saturday
