Douglas Island news., 1914-06-17

A rather extended announcement of Che candidacy of James Wickersham for re election az delegate to congress, appeared yesterday in the Alaska Daily Empire. While the announce meut makes is perfectly clear that James will be in the race, it leaves some of the Juneau buiwarks of dem- ocracy in doubt as to whether he in. tends to take to his manly bosom the whole of the Alaskan democratic or ganization or just that part of it that is under the guidance of John Frame. So with fear and trembling they may only wait and see. Strange things happen in this jolly Northland, but it seldom happens that a mau gets biz enough to swallow a whole party with out interfering with his digestion

realized Sunday that their much-loved game, baseball, was being made sub servient to the gambling interest. Barrrger, who had served as umpire in a number of games, had shown a lack of precision that was displeasing to players and fans who enjoy good base ball. Coughs asked that he give place another, any other, just SO he under stood the game. One of the best um- pires on the Pacific coast was there and ready to serve. The Juneau manager said "No," and could not be converted to the proposition except with the stipulation that the umpire chosen should announce that "all bets were declared off" But for the selfsacri- flee of Dolly Gray, there would have been no game.
 For some reason the Juneau Empire rushes to the defense of Mir. Barrager's character. It tells of bis "wOuderfully successful athletic career" and fool ishIy asserts his perfect honestly-a matter which should be above discus sion-and says that foolish pickering should not be allowed to cause his re- tiremeut This is perfect rot, for Mr.. Barrager's career as an umpire on Gas tiueau channel is ended, so his charac- ter is not a matter of question. As for ability, there are hundreds of men in the three cities fully qualified to um- pire a game of ball.

The Game at Treadwell

The Game at IreadWell
 The Douglas-Juneau baseball game at Treadwell Sunday brought out banner crowd and the sun sbone as brightly as it ever does in California. It was really a hot day in Alaska.
 Although definite arrangement to the contrary had been previously made between the managers of the two teams, Juneau insisted that no ono but Bar rager should umpire the game. Doug las was more liberal and was willing that the game should be umpired by anyone, white or black, except Bar rager Finally the Juneau sports agreed that Dolly Gray should take the job, but only with the stipulation that all bets should be declared off. This was done and the game started. 1t was soon apparent that Juneau was not playing with it's usual success and the game terminated with the score to 3 in favor of Douglas. Many fans said it was a bum game. Ford, the Juneau pitcher, complained of a sore arm after allowing four hits and three runs, and was replaced in the sixth inning by Hester, soutbpaw of some promise. His glory was short lived. Jack John son pitched for Douglas, and "Stub" = - n-h..a IL. L.A mLn .nnrn.

He sprang after her, grasping her
arm to lead her across the icy plat

the lee of the building.
Disdaining his command to enter
the tonneau, she stood beside the car
and waited until he cranked it and
took his place at the wheel. Then she
took her seat beside him and permit

She walked between the two men
into the feebly lighted office of the
inn. The keeper of the place, a dreary
looking person with dread in his eyes,
hurried forward. She stopped, stock
still. Some one was brushing the

necessary to go into that. Now, as to
their arrival at the inn. The blizzard
had not set in Last night was dark,
of course, as there is no moon, but 1t
was clear and rather warm for the
time of year. The couple came here
about nine o'clock in high power run
about machine, which the man drove.
They had no hand baggage and appar-
emily had run out from New York.
Burton says he was on the point of
refusing them accommodations when
the man handed him a hundred-dollar
bill. 1t was more than Burton's Gu
pfdity could withstand. They did not
register. The state license numbers
had been removed from the automo-
bile, which was of foreign make. OF
course it was only a question of time
until we could have found out who
the car belonged to. 1t is perfectly
obvious why he removed the num-
bers."
At this juncture Drake entered the
room. Mrs Wrandall did not at first
recognize him.

the newcomer.
"Oh, it is Mr.. Drake" she murmured.
I'VE have a little French car, painted
red," she announced to the sheriff
without giving Drake another thought.

the sheriff, with glance at the coro-
ner. Drake nodded his head. Mrs.

pingNin the wind Mrs wrandall
caught her breath. For the briefest
instant It seemed as though she was
on the point of faltering. She dropped
farther behind the sheriff, her limbs
suddenly stiff. her hand going out to
the wall as II for support. The next
moment she was moving forward res
olutely into the icy, dimly lighted
room
single electric light cleaned in
the corner beside the bureau. Near
the window stood the bed. She went
swiftly toward 1t, her eyes fastened
upon the ridge that ran through the
center of it: still. white ridge that
seemed without beginning or end.
With nervous fingers the attendant
lifted the sheet at the head of the
bed and turned 1t back AS he let It
fall across the chest of the dead man
he drew back and turned his face
away.
She bent forward and then straight
ened her figure to its full height, with
out for an instant removing her gaze
from the face of the man who lay
before her: dark-haired man gray in
death, who must have been beautiful
to look upon in the flush of life
For long time she stood there
looking. as motionless as the object on
which she gazed. Behind her were the
tense. keen-eyed men, not one OF
whom seemed to breathe during the
grim minutes that passed. The wind
howled about the corners of the inn,
but no one heard it. They heard the
beating of their hearts, even the tick
ing of their watches, but not the wall
of the wind.
At last her hands, claw-like in their
tenseness, went slowly to her temples.
Her head dropped slightly forward,
and great shudder ran through her
body. The coroner started forward,
expecting her to collapse.

in an absolutely emotionless voice.
Let me stay here alone for a little
WHILE"
That was all. The men relaxed. They
looked at each other with a single
question in their eyes. Was it quite
safe to leave her alone with her dead?
They hesitated.
She turned on them suddenly,
spreading her arms in a wide gesture
of self-absolution. Her somber eyes
swept the group.
Il can do no harm This man is
last time-alone. VIII you go?'

She clasped her hands. 81 mean

they closed the door,

the teams that have been in the hot
finish for championship honors has
had more loyal support from the fans
than has the Ansons. The attendance
in this city has been remarkable,
especially so considering that the team
has been near the bottom thruout the
year. - So
There have been few fans who
have been more loyal than others,
probably because of circumstances
favoring their attendance, and of these
there are at least four who can claim
the distinction of having attended
every game of the season. and OF hav-
ing paid for their tickets for every
game. There may be others entitled
to a place on this honor roll, but after
careful investigation the names of the
following have been obtained. these

There are others who have missed
