Ketchikaners will be much amused
at a short story in the September
number of the Blue Book, called, "The

The story is about the baseball game
between Prince Rupert and Ketchikan
which took place two summers ago
on July 4, when, both teams tied in
the ninth inning, and the game was
called on account of the tide.
in the story Ketchikan is described
as "a place in Alaska where it seems
the principal occupation was putin
fish in cans and sellin' tourists Injun
moccasins from Denver" Many local
places, such as the defunct "Sideboard
Saloon" and the New York Restau-
rant" are mentioned, while Doc Wal

men is described thus; DOC Walker,
who owned the De Luxe Drugstore,
