Utility of Fruit Thinnind-

Fruit thinning pays in money re-
turns the first year. The earlier the
thinning can be done the better will

inches apart. The systematic and
annual uniform thinning does much
toward securing an annual crop.

FROM MoNDAys DAILY

The ketchikan Baseball Team met it's old rival, the Metlakahtla team yesterday afternoon when the local team was victorious by a tune of 6 to '. The opening inning was played under favorable weather conditions but toward the end a strong and cold wind was blowing across the diamond thereby making it rather un- pleasant for the spectators as we'll as the players. In the first inning Metlakahtla started the game by having Lewis walk to first but was subse- quently caught mapping on first. Fawsett went out on a foul tip while Don Atchinson made a two base hit, putting the sphere well into left field, and then Eddie Bush let one drive to center only to be pick ed right out of the air, thereby retiring the side. Kubley started things off for Ketchi-- kan by making first base on four balls and then stole. sec- ond. Reyes hit a good one right over second thus advanc- ing Kubley to third, with Reyes on first. Walter Janggen who was next failed to locate the ball in it's travel over the home plate. Then came Payne, who hit a lively one, bringing Kub- ley and Reyes safely over the home plate. O. Connor went out an pop up fly to center. With an eye of an eagle Payne watched for an opportunity tc steal home and was successful for he made good by a hard run. Erickson connected LII for a hit to right field only tC fall into a waiting init. In the beginning of the second inning Jais reached first, Evans fan ned, Walton walked, Simpson made a timely hit, and at this point the local team fluked
 players lost control of the bal
 in the infield trying to make 6 double play and as the result
 two men reached home ane were followed by Simpson who was brought in by Lewis when he landed a safe one ir left field. Fawsett went ot.t on a caught ball. Lewis made third in record time but was ( little too late in his arrival. Al this stage of the game the score was an even break of to 3. In the third inning the locals made one run while ill the fifth the natives made two
 In the seventh inning Metla- kahtla made one run to their opponet's three. This gave Ketchikan the lead of one run which they held until the end. Every member of the respective teams had an opportunity to display his playing ability and this they used to advantage. A great deal of interest was man. ifested by the spectators, and especially was this noticeable in the grandstand where laud- ation as we'll as roasts poured forth.
