 SEASON PLAYED
 OUT LAST NlGHl

Juneau fans had their taste of baseball last night when the teams representing the Bartenders and Salesmen of the city tangled on the local grounds The game resulted in a score of 10 to in favor of the Bartenders after n innings of play. The extra innings were nec- essary after Baxter clouted out a fly to the outfleld, which resulted in homer through an error, at a time when the bases were full and tied the score.
 The salesmen had the lead from the jump and the bartenders could not seem to connect with the daz- zling curves put up to them by Glen Darlington, the newly-discovered southpaw. In the eighth inning they connected with vengeance and made up for lost time and again in the l1th. landed on the pin for three extra runs.
