AN ENJOYABLE EVENT
For OcaIa's Young Champions of the
Baseball Field

Manager Chas w. Hunter of the
OcaIa baseball team and most of his
enthusiastic young assistants in max
ing out city famous on the diamond,
had a very satisfactory seance at the
Harrington Tuesday evening The
occasion was the discussion of an ele-
giant supper and other agreeable sub
jects, and there never was a social
affair more satisfactorily carried out.
a little after nine o'clock, the
party sat down around long table
in the Harrington's cool, spacious
and well lighted dining room, and as
soon as each player was safe at the
plate the walters began to score.
Present were Manager Hunter, and
Messrs. Carlisle Izlar, Norton Davis
WEIGH Dewey, Charles Chazal, Frank
Anthony, John Chazal, Julius Brown,
Frank Harris, Jr., George Bats, and
Raymond Bullock The editor of the
Star considered himself specially fav-
ored by being included in the party.
All were sorry that sickness kept Mr.
Roy Galloway, whose superb pitch
ing has won many games, at home,
and that business prevented Messrs.
]. j. Gerig, always impartial umpire,
and Stephen Jewett, the ever &C
curate scorer. from being present.
About 16 young men belong to the
team, and it was desired to have
them all present, but it is impossible
TO get them all together at one time.
The supper was perfectly prepar-
ed and efficiently served. The menu
was as follows:
Olives and sailed almonds, tomato
soup, fried trout, fried chicken,
French peas, mashed potatoes, Rom
an punch, asparagus venegeret, ice
cream and cake, coffee, pimentos.
1t was a remarkably pleasant &C.
casion for the young men, who spiced
the viands with baseball talk, inter-
esting always to fans, and even more
so to those who make history on the
diamond. After the coffee, cigars
were handed around and another
pleasant half an hour passed while

the incense from the Havana mingled
with the history of the past and the
hope of the future.
Some time after 10 o'clock the
party broke up, and with mutual
good wishes the members left for
their homes. AS a social occasionI it
left nothing to be desired.
Game With Lawtey Tomorrow Aft
ernoOn
At 3 p. m. yesterday, Manager
Hunter received telegram announce
ing that the Lawtey team would be
here tomorrow afternoon. Lawtey
has a good team, which has won a
number of games this season. Our
boys have been practicing assiduous-
ly this week, and intend to put up
their best play tomorrow.
OcaIa has first-rate homemade
team. The boys show most praise
worthy spirit; they play, or rather
work, for it is hard work, entirely
for sport and patriotism, and as none
of them are men of leisure, their
public service often entails consider
able private sacrifice. We hope the
people will turn out en- masse to see
the game tomorrow; the players de-
serve all the encouragement the citi-
zens can give them, for their work
this season has paid the town in dol
lars as we'll as baseball prestige.

Alaska Commerce Growing

The customs department of Puget
Sound, in its report for 1912, shows
that, though there was no material in
crease in population during the past
year, the commerce for Alaska broke
all former records in every respect.
The total value Of the imports and ex-
ports was s72,741,ooO, which is 81
per cent greater than that of any pre-
vious year and shows a balance Of trade
in favor Of Alaska Of nearly $20,0O0,-
900, the greatest in the history Of the
district. Gold, which had previously
constituted the bulk of her exports,
was in 1912 so per cent less in value
than the total of the other products
shipped into the United States and
was exceeded by the single item Of
salmon, canned and preserved in other
ways.
