Then came the old Waterloo when General Napoleon Bonaparte got sIugged out into the suburbs by Nichols. You could see it coming. Taylor nabbed another of the same kind off the Levine stick but Amund- sen sent the veteran away to the un- known once more and let Nichols across. And then came Powery with another Zeppelin that nearly broke the cabin of c. S. Patten and Lucas came to pitch just after Amundsen added to the visiting tally. Finnegan

 Taylor, struck by bail, walked, and he reached second when a hit by Ryan and a tumble by Nichols came up. Lucas hit and Taylor scored nicely but Matt got out on second. Reed stole second but was given out on the home plate when Reed hit safely. The slugger got second later on a Powery error but Levin caught Lee.

SECOND GAME

For four or five innings yesterday, Gus Manthey held the visitors fairly well but you could see the awful thing the head of the bay and the game ended with five to two in favor of Anchorage.
 Lucas went in the box just then and truth is that he pitches an aurng ball. He throws it apparently just as
 lady should but it has habit of shooting up and some of the visitors cot hoodwinked Linn the visiting south paw had several surprises up that sinister mitt of his and Swede Amundsen was always there to receive him. An chorage starts Vandevere today but only tentatively They might try someone else at any old time and Freo fracv says they have five of them Sounds rather bad for man who talks so much about imported goods and he in the shipping business at that Fred says the Gate way can tell em all he doesn't like the way we acted whatever he means But Fred is all right He has just given up hope and he is the only Anchorage man who has The boys from the Inlet and Tracy too are some bunch licked or not and Seward has nothing but admiration for the fight they put up yesterday and Sunday. Severa changes may occur in the Anchorage team today but at noon they didn't have the dope it. It or will be some ron,e though and may the better team win.

 Anchorage won yesterday in the second game and evened the chances in the inter-urban series, The score was five to two and some of the five at least, were scored on Stewards poor judgment but the score was five to two nevertheless, and that's the sore spot no matter how you try to get around it.
 Gus Manthey, the old war horse, did fine for about five innings but you cannot expect Gus to stand the racket as long as Williams, for instance, and if he had taken a seat one inning be- fore we should have heard Tracy talk lot less about importations. Game by Innings:

Powery hit but Levin was kill ed on the home plate finely by Lee. Amundsen cut the second base and was called out. It was probably in this inning that the fine backstop of the home team met very nasty hurt. He is all right again, he says.
 Ryan went out on first but Manthey reached it although he went out on second when Reed hit. Error by Pow cry let Reed to second but Julian got hurt in the slide and Heine Haasch went to run for him and that was the end of Heine and the chapter.
