BASEBALL PLAYER
 INJURED BY BAT
Receives Crack Over the Eye When Standing Too Near the Batter
 Two Stitches Required.

l, The first accident of the baseball season occurred yesterday when Lloyd Fish, the crack catcher of the Valdez junior baseball team, was hit over the eye with stray bat ana put hors de combat with a big gash over his eye, which required two stitches to close up.
 The battle between tLe Valdez team and the Alaska Wonders was at fever heat and the score was g to in the last of the ninth inning, two outs were recorded and kid was at third. Alaska Egan was at bat, and he sure intended to hit the ball. He did. The bat flew back and Lloyd, who was ioo anxious to catch the ball, caught the hat instead and received a nasty cut. Grabbing the ball he put Egan out while the latter was telling Lloyd how sorry he was.
 A doctor was called and two stitch es were taken in the cut, which was tO the bone and directly over the left eye. The Valdez team will be- minus a catcher for several days. Manag- CT Bush, of the Valdez team, has made an offer of s10,0O0 a year for Lloyd's services and is fearful that the Fed eral League will secure the wonderful catcher by bidding higher for him.

 business men, and Angus Chisholm, ! who has served many terms, has a strong following who would like to
 have him in the next council. 1 Representative Ingram has been
 repeatedly asked to run, but he is
 disinclined to do so, as his business l interests and his position on the ter
 ritorial legislature keep him busy. i Former Mayor Boyle has strong
 following who desire him to run for
 the council, but he has not announced
 himself candidate as yet. Charles kraemer, who has served
 on several councils, is being urged to become candidate for councilman, 1 but says he cannot see it that way ] and refuses to even consider the mat ter.

FLYING BULLETS.
Going Worry Fast, They Leave Air

If Il photograph OF a speeding bullet

its wake. photogra phs of projectiles
have been snapped IN time OF peace,
but II is doubtful II the camera ever
caught one as It sped on its mission of
death. A bullet speeding at the rate
of 5000 feet a second. which is more
than 1000 miles an hour. makes n
great disturbance In the atmosphere
and creates air waves. which. OF
course. are invisible to the naked eve.
If you draw stick through the wa

the stick the more waves and the
