Some Baseball
 On Next Sunday

There will be two smashing games of baseball next Sunday if the weath- CT man is kind enough. The REAL baseball season opens next Sunday at Douglas. In this contest Tom Rad onich will take the best material available from the Capital City across the channel and endeavor to win the first record game of the season. From the practice games so far held one of nine innings and one of five innings in Juneau, and one of nine innings in Douglas it is evident that the teams are almost equally matcehd.
 The Alaska -Gastineau Terriers will again cross bats with the c. w. Young Tigers on the local grounds at 2:SO next Sunday in any kind of weather. The interest in these games is rising to fever heat as the season progresses. The Terriers won the first game with out much eoffrt and the Tigers came through strong enough to grab the sec, ond in thrilling style.
 Manager Reedy says that nothing will stop the Terriers from literally wiping the earth up with the feline tribe on next Sunday. Weather condi- tions will not be taken into account at all. All the Terriers want is a chance to get at the enemy. Reedy has brought down from the top of the hill, so it is said, a bunch of young pups that can make the fur fly. When asked about this he only grinned and said nothing.
 Charley Carter said that his Tigers were anxious to take on the Alaska Gastineau outfit again and that he had no fears for the result. Last time." he said. didn't we play some ball-came right back in the last half and won with two chances un- used-why, the game might have been going yet, if we had wanted to stay longer"
 Tom Saegers is a bit under the weather but Manager Carter has some thing up his sleeve. It is said that he has a battery that has been kept under cover a long time-Jensen, a lanky southpaw, and Newman, who has given signals to him in many a contest. There is some talk toe, about strengthening up second base but all the old fans would hate to see McBride retire.
 The Yanieans and Scrubs.
 The Yanigans and Scrubs did intend to practice tonight, but it looks leaky and they may not go out. A baseball connoiseur said that those same Yani gans under the management of Mir Cheek would do something-that they were the classiest youngsters that ev CT kicked diamond dust.
 The Sawdust Kids.
 A bunch of slab artists down at the Worthen mills think that they car play ball and have asked The Empire to announce that they are willing tc cross bats with any aggregation or al leged or real ball players in any Gas tineau channel town. It has been sug gested that they take on the Yan nigans.

BARON LEADER WILL RECALL
PLAYERS FOR SPRING TRIALS
REPORTS SHOW THAT PLAYERS
EARNED TO MINORS ARE
WORTHY OF RECALI-SLOAN,
LACE AND HERNDON STAR
by REUBEN A. LEWIS

Seasoned by the stay in the minors, the
players farmed out by the Barons will
be recalled. With the date of recall fast
approaching Manager Molesworth is re-
ceiving fine reports on the youngsters and
will probably yank them back for try
out in the spring. Herndon, at Albany,
Lage at ottawa and Sloan at Evans
Vile are playing in fine form. Owner
Woodward states that probably all will
be recalled
When the Youngsters showed promise
In the spring but lacked experience Moles-
worth decided to place them with the
minors for a season. Pitcher Sloan the
last to be forced downward, is starring
with the Evansville club. despite it's lowly
position. Herndon. cavorting in the out
field for the Albany Sally league club
is sugging over the 300 mark and field
ing well.
Catcher Lage, farmed with the Ottawa
club in the Canadian league, is receiving
in remarkable style and is lacing the pei
let with deadly aim. The reports declare
that the Canadian league has no better
catcher. Fittery. who started well with
Evansville, has faltered and has been
beaten consistently. But the youngster
will probably report for trial in the
spring.
Had the team suffered an off-year, it
was Manager Molesworth's intention of
leaving the club ON August ! for a tour
of the minor leagues to look over prom
ising young players. AS the chubby lead
er usually draws his talent from the
HIf4as L..
ciation he will probably put in drafts
for several of the likely players. 1t is
understood that he has received several
recommendations
But, with the Barons well up in the
race and fighting for the rag, Molesworth
will not take the trip. The chubby lead
er Is confident that he will be in the
light for the bunting and has given out
several optimistic interviews on the pres
ent trip

recruits must make a very creditable
showing. Green will probably be used
in the outfield during the Birmingham
series to replace Daley.
The "cripplesn who returned to the
game are being forced out again.
Catcher Adams. who recently returned
to the battle, was forced to retire with
broken finger on his throwing hand.
Jakey Atz, who re-entered at second
this week, sprained his ankle and will
be out for some time. However, Ward
Mcdowell has about recovered from
blood poisoning and will probably play
during the series of six games with
Birmingham. While George Yantz says
that he has recovered from his broken
ankle. the catcher does not show his
old time form. However, 1t seems as
IL he will play soon.
The first pitcher to get the pink slip
will probably be Brenner. Gudger
seems to be the most promising of the
recruits and will probably supplant
the little right handler. Walkers feat
of winning both games today will prob
ably insure him a position Brenton
and Wilson are certainties.
