Notes and Sidelishts.

Manager Ferris need not be ashamed of yesterdays exhibition by his ball. tossers. He has a splendid lineup all the way through and the team shows class in team work. Captain Mauseth knows how to play team.
 The Juneau team needs a liberal education in team work and also some practice if they hope to break even with that bunch of wildcats across the channel.
 Young Dahl is certainly some class as fielder. He reminds one of Lee Magee. a Seattle first baseman, now with St. Louis. who used to climb the bleacher fence and pull them down. He is also some swatter.
 Mauseth plays short like a veteran and handled everything coming his way faultlessly.
 The Chambers brothers are to Tread we'll what the Harris brothers are to Juneau-a good bit of sound baseball timber.
 Dolly Gray can make lot of noise out on second.
 Aliens sensational catch in the first was only eQualled by Dahrs work in the same garden.
 Young Hurlbutt, barring a wild throw, played a faultless game and ate up everything that came his way. He is young disciple of Honus Wagner when it comes to stick work.
 Malloy pitched good steady game and made the sensational hit of the day-a home run.
 Rockafeller, although he walked sev. eral, kept the hits down and was not in danger until the Eth when Malloy fell on him and lost the ball.
 Considering the rough condition of the grounds it was an excellent game for the first game of the season.

An immense crowd was out yester- day to watch the opening game of the season between the regular teams of Gastineau channel towns. There was a great tournout of rooters and fair fans from the Douglas Island cOmmuni- ties and intense interest was manifest ed from the start to finish. Juneau, s; Treadwen. :: tells the last chapter but no one would have guessed it that way Tom Radouich's braves had horseshoes hanging all over them selves-but if L. Chambers had come through with the necessary bingle on the last chance while his little brother James was roasting on sec ond the game might have been going Vet. But the ifs" make baseball un- certain and interesting The weather petulant at the start out after few splashes of rain during the first in ming sunshine prevailed The story follows
 Treadwel went to bat first with their premier fielder Dahl at bat who hit safe; Coughlm popped out to Manoy; Kertis hit a slow grOunder, was safe. stole second while Dahl moved to third; J. Chambers hit a slow one to first which Loucks stopped right in front of the runner; instead of tagging his man first he at tempted to head of Dahl at the plate and lost both; Linscoc laid one down to first just like Chambers had done and the previous play was repeated Kertis scoring; l.. Chambers flew out to left field: Raines next up and made a hit that looked like a home run but Allen made sensational one hand catch saving two runs. c. Harris led of for Juneau and walked: Zott laid down a safe one moving Harris; Hurl' butt had good eye and walked; Nal loy hit a hot one that bounded over third. Harris and Zott scoring; Gray famed the atmosphere three times and retired; w. Harris hit to short and was thrown out at first score and ?.
 Juneau never got a man across the pan after this until the seventh when Spehard and Loucks scored Douglas annexed a run in the third and two more in the fifth. It looked to be their game until Malloy in the eighth after Hurlbut had hit safe, sent the ball away out amongst the spruce trees and chased Hur-butt across the plate. A combination of hits and errors allowed two more runs which were enough to win. The Treadwell lads al most caused heart failure for Radon ich in their half of the ninth wher Dahl lead ofI with a triple and scored on Coughlin's hit that followed. Ker tis struck out but Jimmy Chambers
