BASKETBALL TO BE CALLED AT
 A. B. TONIGHT There Is Sure to Be a Warm Contest and Ex-
 pected a Large
 Attendance.
BOTH TEAMS ANXIOUS
Lineup of the Teams Show That They Have lm- pressed Their Best
 Performers.

Ready Metlakatla? Ready Juneau?
 When Referee Mathews asks the opposing captains the above ques- ions tonight there will not be one vacant seat in A. B. Hall. Five hun dred fans and ten basketball players will answer: "Yes, we're ready, let's go."
 The basketball game to be played tonight has created more interest in sports than anything else that has happened in Juneau for several years, and never before was there the anticipation for as evenly a
 matched contest as is expected when
 he Juneau High School boys again
 endeavor to defeat the Metlakatla,
 Native basketball team.
 Coach Genn will use the same
 lineup as he used to defeat the vis-
 itors last Friday evening Burford
 and Asklen at forwards will give an
 honest account of themselves every
 minute of the game; McKinnon, the
 famous stick-tight guard, is ready
 to stick like fly paper and if his
 man gets a basket it will be after
 he has tied McKinnon up with a
 rope. Torvinen, the other High School guard will play his usual
 rangy game and will go down and
 get a basket whenever he gets a chance to leave his man. At center,
 Hodges will play his regular good game Meanwhile Mclaughlin will stand ready to take the place of any player who falls by the way.
 For Metlakatla the same players will also be used as stood fire in the previous game and the only shift in positions expected is to place the big center, Captain Leask, 1t forward where he will be handler l to the basket for each little point will be very much needed.
 It was reported on the streets to- lay that one man had $20 to bet on he Metlakatla team, but aside from this there has been very little talk of betting because of the grave doubt as to how the game will really go The big game will be called at 7:45 o'clock at A. B. Hall. Mir. Mathews will referee the first half and E. Hudson the second session.
 The teams will line up as follows. Juneau Metlakatla

against Spain during the fight for in. | dependence
 It Is an odd sight to see the natives peddling bread and milk along the streets from house to house with two barrels slung across the backs of little burrows half the size of our Shetland ponies The streets are very marrow. hardly wide enough for two machines to pass, and it makes driving hard as there are about five hundred cars here, and still more coming on every ship. There is no chance of widening the streets. as the houses are of pc euliar construction, being about one story high and built in solid square blocks with a large court yard in the middle, known as the patio. The ma terial used in building them is sort of clay and cement mixture known as adobe. the same as houses in the southwestern part of the states and in Mexico The windows are built like doors, with iron bars instead of glass These bars were very useful during the revolutionary periods, of which there were many before the Marines landed l expect that in q few years this place will be as up-to- wate in American ways as IS that wonderful place called Porte Rico And the people of the coming eeaero- ton will thank the Y. g for tie les sens we have taught the present one

PRIV. VINCENT McEVOY
 IS GASSED IN FRANCE
Now Convalescing In American Hospital, But
 Longs To Get Back Into Trenches
SAYS TO TELL BOYS BACK HOME TO TRY DOUGHBOYs
 GAME IF THEY WANT A TASTE OF REAL LIFE
Witnesses Thrilling Aerial Duel Between Nine German and
 Eight American Planes

Private Vincent McEvoy. son of Mir and Mrs. D. F. \. McEvoy, Harris street, was gassed about two months ago while taking part in an attack in the front line trenches of France. He is now convalescing in an American hospital behind the lines. In the fol lowing letter that has just been re- ceived from him. Private McEvoy viv- idly describes his experiences as an American doughboy:
 July Fourth
 Just few lines te let you know that l am again in the hospital be- cause of getting gassed. but am get ting along fine, so don't worry about me, as 1 will soon be back with you,
 T am having q good time over here :. We have ball games and everything in the line of sports. l am on the com pany ball team, and we have lost only one game. We have some team, ev en if 1 do say so, and even if l do play on it. On our team we have Hank Gowdy, who used to be with the Boston Nationals, so you can see that 1t is at least fair nine.
 Il want to tell you what happened to us the day was gassed. The Boches started to shell the town we were located in, but we did not lose man. Of course, this was done at night. l lost my sweater and pen that sister Alice gave me, and that IS why am now writing with pencil But that is a small matter, and by the time you get this letter l will have a new pen and sweater
 And I also want to tell you what saw one day while l was in the trenches. In an aerial fight that last ed thirty-fve minutes an American aviation patrol broke up, on their sec ond attempt. the formation of an enc my patrol and succeeded in driving it away Three of the German machines were seen to fall and il is possible that fourth was shot down. The Americans lost only one machine, driven down into No Mans Land. The fight was between eight Americans and it took place just northwest of (can't say that town). One machine of the American group returned with thirteen bullet holes in close proxim- tiy to it's engine and petrol tank, in

Dear Friends

Dear Friends :-
 T have been going to write te you every week since 1 have been here, but time has flown so fast it hardly seems nine months since we left the states But not having received your paper since last March and not know ing the reason thought l would write and at the same time try to give you a description of Santo Domingo and the duties of the Marines
 We landed here after two weeks on the water, during which time we visited many interesting ports in Hay ii and Cuba We landed Oct 12. the same day, thought two hundred years later than Columbus did After land ing here we were divided into differ eut companies. and then given more drilling. including hikes into the eoun- try surrounding the capital On these hikes we marched through cocoannt, banana and pineapple groves which were very interesting to Us We have been on hikes that have the army hikes beaten Having been out as long as thirty days, this surely hardens man and soon separates the strong from the weak, of which there are very few in the marine corps.
 The people of this place are of a mixed race, Spanish and negro. The Spanish language Is their mother tongue There are some of them that are very industrious and these few naturally own the place. but under the supervision and guidance of the Marine officers and men who have the place under military control They are rapidly becoming good citizens. The farmers are beginning to learn the real value of their land, which is without doubt the richest of its kind in this part of the West Indies. We have some very old historic buildings; 1; one of them is known as Colon church, which contains the remains of Columbus The tomb is opened Oct. 18th each year, for anyone wishing to see the casket They have no means of transportation, only a recently ac- quired truck made of Ford truck which carries about thirty passengers, and the fare is ten cents for a ride over rough streets of about mile and a half in length. They have also a gate al the entrance of the city which is held sacred, no vehicles being al lowed ot pass through, It was held

 The above designation Is official for my location at present. There are 50 men and two lieutenants with this detachment and another full company 150 men and seven officers. The du- ties here are guarding. have Is posts. the guard of about 55 men Is com handed by sergeant, and the officers take turns in acting as Officer of the Day Drills only occupy about two hours day.
 There are three big shipyards in this vicinity, the Federal, the Founda- tion, and the Submarine In all prob ably there are 75 big iron freighters on the ways; contrary to the name there are no submarines built here, but as subsidiary they build freight ships.
 Tt is one of the new fabricated yards where the work is mostly as- sembling, the parts being prepared in other places, the first time that ships have been constructed that way-it is successful There are about 10000 workrs in this yard, some on duty at all hours. The strenuous times are when they are liberated at from } to 6 p. m. They have to go through gates to the trains, and to keep them in line is the trouble Our men did 1t for a while, but as they meant busi- ness and struck few of them with the wicked Russian bayonets they are armed with and struck few of them with the butts of rifles, they eonclud- ed to let the civilian police try to handle them, so now our men stand aside and do not mix in unless the gang gets entirely beyond control.
 'All quarters of the world are rep resented in this bunch, and many of them are the toughest you could find anywhere, the high wages paid at tracing them from all quarters, all colors and kinds. Riveters are mak- ing from $50 to $100 per week.

 If you hear any one criticizing the results of the ship building yards as we'll as other departments in the con duct of the war, just tell them they had better stir around a little and see what is going on in the world or else keep awful still.

 We are billeted in a brick yard. our platoon is on the second floor of a drying shed with another platoon under us; the cracks in the floor are an inch wide and every once in a while something drops down on them and the language that comes uI. through tells us what they think about it
 There is an abandoned clay pit about . hundred yards from our quarters where We bathe and swim. We are about quarter of mile from the center of small town. and the allowance of passes is quite fiber al We get in town every four days from 6 until 10 p. m
 July Fourth the whole company get off in shifts, some in the morning and the balance later. It does not get dark until quite late. It is past nine o'clock and am writing inside without any light; the sun SC, was only short time ago. It is 3 p. m in Whitins- gille now.
 We are limited at present to three postals and one letter week. It is long way from the front where we are, and except fer the fact that sweets are scarce We would hardly know that there was war i'll prog ress. "
