The game resulted in score of four 10 three in favor of the former, the Sourdoughs having proven to the satisfaction of the Cheechacoes that. although they are oldtimers in the country, they have kept up with baseball as the great national game Is played on the Outside.
 The lineup of the two teams was as follows:

C|LL|LAND MAY
 HAVE DROWNED:
 HIS BOAT FOUND
LAND OFFICE MAN MAY HAVE MET oEATh-BoAT AND
 CLOTHES FOUND

That Ralph H. Gilliland. timber cruiser of the general land office. with headquarters in Fairbanks. may have met death by drowning, is of his friends who learned at a late hour last night that boat, contain ing a grip on which Gilliland's name was marked his clothing and pri. vate papers, was found floating loose in a slough on the right limit of the Panama river yesterday after noon. News of the find was brought 10 Cinema by the passengers and crew of the steamer Panama. AC cordng to their story the boat was found by Eat 'em up" Frank Len berg. who reported the matter to the officers of the Panama. Capt. J. c. McCann. of the Panama, stated last night that he saw the boat in the slough from distance, but did not go to it, for the reason that he had authority to investigate the case of possible drowning.
 Gilliland is presumed to have left Fairbanks Saturday morning. He Is known to have been going to Nenana, He stopped off at Cinema, where he talked with Doc" Laymon, and as far as is known, when he left Cinema that was the last time he was seen alive.
 There Is only one contradiction as is obtainable. Laymon says that Gilliland had a small boat. Lenberg told the officers of the Tanana that the boat containing the suit case and clothing was motor boat Whether or not Gilliland was ac- companied when he left Fairbanks or Cinema for the lower river, could could not be learned last night.
 Some of Gilliland's friends in Fairbanks, when told of the finding of the boat last night, secuted the theory of drowning. being of the opinion that he had left the boat and gone into the woods, and that the boat had become looSened from where it's owner had tied it. For it is well known fact that Mir Gilliland has travelled many thousands of miles on the rivers of interior Alaska without a serious mishap.
 It Is very probable that. if some news of Gilliland is not received here by tonight a searching party will be organized.
