Mayor Stewards visit to Seattle in connection with the plans of the city administration was fruitful one. In addition to his interview with R. F. Lewis n connection with che purchase Of the system. the arrangement for sanitary survey Juneau and her surroundings. the promise which he brings back that one of the biz steamship companies which is operating in Alaskan waters is contemplating adding a good steamer 60 supply the trade and mail routes radatng from Juneau. and the results of his inyesti- gation of modern school house construction are all interesting And all Of them are matters that con- cern the improvement Of the city. Juneau is the threshhoid of further growth and development, and these matters au important items connected with ,he development
 With the improvements suggested in the plans o Mayor Stewart and the municipal government and the information that be brings from the South. the completion of the capitol building and the building of the Gastneau channel bridge. the development out look for Gastaeau channel for 1917 and 1918 is very satisfactory.
 There are many things which suggest that in addt tion to this development We will soon be able to make some important announcements in connection with further GasJneau channel and Southeastern Alas ka mining development that will be of even more im- portance in a commercial way.
 Juneau has but started to grow.

 Experience throughout the United States has been that good business and the public interest is served by public ownership of the water supply Of muai- cpality The water supply is SO intimately associated wi;h the public business and closely touches all the people that better service and greater satisfaction al, ways comes with municipal control Sometime Juneau must own her own water system and the frs, mo- ment that she acquire adequate supply Of good water on basis that will not violate souni business methods Is the time to secure the ownership.

 THE ATTENDANCE TROPHY
By JACK BETHEA.

make a double. Then, too, his yanking of Weaver in order to give Sylvester a chance at Robbys slants in the fourth was quite cute, and probably that was the breaking point of the game. Bluhm, first up, doubled into the crowd Hig- gins stung a hot one to Danny Clarke, who crept in and shot the ball to the plate, killing Bluhm. Higgins went to second on the play and scored when Syl- vester, batting for Weaver. singled.
 Speaking of wasted opportunities, two of those the Barons spilled may be told of as follows: In the fifth, with Coombs on third and Lindsay on second O O'Rourke could not deliver. The best, however, was in the ninth, when Pop Boy" Smith put on miniature balloon ascension. With one down. Derrick walked, Clarke and Derrick pulled a pretty hit and run, completely ut-guessing the Pop Boy and Derrick stopped on third and Clarke at first. Coombs walked, filling the bases, but Lindsay flew to Allison and called good and hard for violating the Baugh, prohibiting the pitcher walking out of his box to get the signal.
 Rudderham worked behind the plate and Breitenstein was on the bases. Both gave entire satisfaction, and the game was not marred by single protest. The fans certainly got all the baseball they were looking for. The game started at 3:30 and was not over until $40 p. m
 The Arab Patrol of Jersualem temple Shrine gave a fancy drill on the diamond before the game and won quite a hand The Shrine band was the only music provided.

LEADERS CONF|DENT .OF ABILITY ID WIN ATTENDANCE Pp|'''l7E Officials Not Discouraged by Good Showing Made
 by New Orleans
 and Memphis

Although reports were received in Bir- mingham yesterday afternoon that New Orleans had something over 13,oO0 peo- pie to see the opening game with the Barons at Heinemann park, officials in charge of the opening day campaign are confident that Birmingham will win the trophy. Memphis. it Is understood, also had a flattering attendance, but that Bir- mingham can outstride both Memphis and New Orleans is the general opinion among the workers.
 The fact that 79 stores have agreed to close their doors for the opening day shows that the employees of Birmingham stores will turn out in full to see the game. Several other firms were added to the list yesterday. Up to an early hour yesterday afternoon. the Southern Sewer and Pipe company and the Weiss Bros. & Son Shoe company have agreed to close. Several other firms sent in the slips that were published in yesterdays Age Herald but the names could not be secured.
 The blank slip appears it another col- umn of The Age-Herald today. It will continue to appear until Wednesday,
 
 when the initial game will be played here. Last year the Barons attracted over 11,5O0 people to the park on cloudy day. With ideal weather like New Orr leans and Memphis had yesterday, off, fcals are confident that over l5,0OO will attend the game.
 'I am sure if we have fair weather that over 15,oO0 people will witness the opening game at Redwood Field Wednes- day. said Blanks Everett, assistant gen. eral manager of the Chamber of Com merce. Although both New Orleans and Memphis made an excellent showing yes terday, I am confident, as we'll as other members of the opening day boosters that Birmingham will repeat her perform ance of the past two years and again win the highest honors.'
 Reserve seats for the opening day will be put on sale this morning at Hagan- Dunlap Drug company. First come. first is the slogan. Ladies day tick cts are on sale at the Birmingham Arms. All of the oil companies have agreed to close. This leaves but few concerns tl close for the big shot.'

Bluhm at the plate and counted on two singles by Sylvester hitting for Wea- Yer and Massey In the fifth with one down Edmondson doubled into the left field crowd and scored when Eschen duplicated. At this point Grimes went in and allowed but one run in the seventh when Stansbury was safe on McDonalds error and went to third on Edmondson's second double into the left field crowd. He counted on Esch- ern's sacrifice fly to center.
 The Baron counters came in the fourth and fifth when Weaver was driven from the mound With one down in the fourth, Lindsay doubled into the left field crowd and scored when O'Rourke put another in the exact spot, O'Rourke scored on successive singles by Caton and Smith. That's all so far as the counting goes. For the bugs, the box score tells the complete story as fol1OWS.

OUTLOOK INDICATES
 WINNER FOR Y. M. c. A,

The outlook for winning baseball team at the Y. M. c. A. is very encouraging. A number of new men have been taking advantage of the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoon and they are begin ming to show some class The outfield is showing up exceedingly well with such new men as Cornwell, Camp. Smith, Bible and Angel.
 The infield is not doing as well as it should, but with such men as Myers Patton, Montebery. Gallagher, Durham, Walker and Taste it should be well taken care of.
 The battery is not causing very much worry. Clay Nelson has speed, control and curves, and with little coaching he will pitch winning ball.
 Other men who have signified their in- tention of being out Saturday are Faunce, Ridout, Durham, Evans, Myatt, Hark- ness, Adams, Boyett, Hanby, Reed, Bruce Beggs, Berkowitz, Giger, Shanks and. Carter.
 All members wishing try-out should see R. E. Mitchell within the next few days.

The Barons had opportunity after opportunity to count. but the neces sary bingle was not forthcoming and the Pels romped home ahead. The game was preceded by a parade in automobiles, headed by platoon oi mounted police, officials of the city and the rival players, through the bus mess sections. The parade wound up at Heinemann field and the teams took the ground for practice
 GAME STARTS
 At sgt o'clock Umpire Rudderham called time and Mayor Behrman of New Orleans walked into the box and tossed the first ball It was a ball but Mcdonald took healthy swing and missed, upon which the crowd roared. The Barons did little in their part of the first, going out in order but the artillery, which eventually drove Rob- ertson from the box, was trained on him in full force in the first and the first run of the Pels resulted from poor throw by Derrick. Massey. the first man to face Robertson, walked. After sev eral throws to first Robby caught him a mile and the Pel short fielder broke for second. Derrick had ample time to catch him, but threw poorly to Clark Allison sacrificed and Stansbury sim gled sharply past the pitcher, Massey counting.
 In the second inning with one down knaupp beat out a grounder down the third base line. Bluhm hit a bounder to Clark and Danny was too anxious, fumbling. Higgins strung one at Me Donald and the ball struck him on the ankle, bouncing away. Lindsay recov- cred the pellet and threw out Knaupp at the plate. Wee yer hit a long fly to deep center ana Bluhm md Higgins scored when Caton dropped it after a hard run.
