81 TO I.

The Seward baseball team initiated
the new ball grounds yesterday after
noon by defeating the "Piledriver"
team by margin of about 20 runs.
The official scorer wore out his pen
vile marking down the tallieS OF the
home club and as result the final
score is not definitely known. The
pile tappers made one run and the
Seward boys crossed the rubber in the
neighborhood of q times.
The condition of the ground was
very good considering the time that
has beer spent in leveling work and
by next Saturday it is expected that
they will be in excellent shape.
Games have been scheduled with the
Kern Creek team and arrangements
are being made for them to play here
next Saturday afternoon, and also
Sunday if they can spare the time.

Explanation for Jail
Break Here.

Assentia Romanoff, who escaped
from the local Jail, has been gathered
in after roaming from Seward home
to Seldovia, according to word re-
ceived on the Farragut.
Romanoff now faces a charge of
stealing a boat from the government
in addition to the original statutory
charge referring to mistreatment OF
his step-daughter. When he gave him
self up at Seldovia Romanoff gave
as his reason for escaping his desire
to 'have talk with his wife"
When he left Jail here he was in
trousers and underclothes, without
shoes, hat or coat. When he gave
himself up he was fully clothed and
armed. Romanoff stole a dory from
the Alaskan Engineering Commission
at Kern crek and sailed it down the
inlet to some point below Point Pos
session where he traded it for small
er boat, rifle, ammunition and food
supplies sufficient to reach home.

West will line up against the
South in the Democratic eau
Gus in the senate tomorrow,
when the majority will attempt
10 choose a senate floor leader
for the congress which came
into being yesterday. Senator
Martin. of Virginia, and Sena
tor Walsh. of Montana, will be
the principal rivals for the
place. Senator Martin will
have the support of Southern
Democrats generally, and also
that of members who believe
that a long experience on the
big senate appropriations com
mittee has fitted him for the
parliamentary requirements of
the job.
Senator Walsh will have
general Western support. He
conducted the campaign in the
West fo, President Wilson last
fall, and his friends declare
that the big Wilson majority
IN the West was due largely to
his efforts. He is one of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in
