PINCHOT CHARGED WITH THEFT
JUNEAU BRINGS
 THE BACON HOME

Tom Radonichs Indians went over to Douglas yesterday and brought home the bacon-score to l. This was the first of a series of ten games agreed upon by the management of the two teams to be played alternate Iy in the two towns for q purse of $1OO for each game. The capital city is richer by one hundred plunks this morning which is gladstone news to chronicle. The game was won in the second inning when three runs were chased over and added to the lone run made in the first. After that not a man crossed the pan. The opposi- tion got one in their half of the sec ond and this ended their run.getting. Both pitchers frightened up and were mighty stingy. Only one hit is re- corded off Molloy, which honor was credited to Lew Chambers. The game was marked by high class work all the way through and shows what may be expected throughout the season an interesting contest.
 Juneau led off and scored one; Doug las.Treadwell failed in their half. The Indians came through with three more and the Island Wildcats got one. The balance of the game was full of scin- tillating plays and brilliant fielding. This was especially marked in the team work of c. Harris and Hurlbutt for Juneau and by all of Mauseth's men. Coughlin made nice sacrafice in the Fifth which netted the only run for the Islanders. Again Cough lin was in the limelight in the eighth. Two men were on bases and he fouled 10 times trying to get a good one, but Molloy finally got him. Molloy only struck out three but he had air-tight support. Pittman shows up well and only five hits were made off his deliv- cry. Each team is credited with three errors but not costly.
 Following is the lineup:
