She is off,
 The baseball season on the Channel will start next Sunday.
 The first game will be a benefit for the Red Cross and every resident of Juneau and Thane is expected tC be there.
 Of course we have ball teams Thane has Ford for pitcher, and enough dark horses to make any other aggregation of ball tossers on the Channel travel to beat them, but Juneau has Fry and Shepard, with Mathews and Genn and several oth CTS who they are not talking about yet.
 Fifty cents admission and even the ball players pay You can't get within mile of the grounds with out coming through with your little fo' bits, so don't try. Anyway the game will be lots of fun to witness and the money is for a most worthy cause, so turn out. Game starts at S::30 D. m. on the Juneau grounds
