TECH WILL MEET
CENTRAL TUESDAY
Climax Game Of Season Comes
Right at Start This Year
in School Scrap.

THE old home plate will be busted
off Tuesday afternoon, presumably at
Union Park, by Edward Kirk, and
Central High School and Technical
High School baseball players will
take the field in what is expected to
be the tip-ofr to the annual high
school titular baseball series.
Tech was the winner last year and
met Central in the final game. The
teams go right back at 1t Tuesday
unless weather conditions are unset
tied or some other untoward circum-
stance preveNs the meeting.
The Tech-Central game. usually the
climax of the titular meetings in the
high schools, comes first this year.
Eastern, Business and Western follow
with games in order so that the big
game OF the season comes at the very
start.
Tech is not as far advanced nor in
possession of as capable players as
was the case last season. Norman
Hutchinson. the Tech pitching ace.
has not been in good form this sea-
son, Aubrey Wardwell. Techs cap
tain, is out OF the lineup with neu-
ralgia.
Central. on the other hand. got
started early and has been playing
exceptionally good ball. Seven wins,
three tie games and one defeat only
makes up the record of the Central
team.
With Penrose Russell catching and
Krupp, Davis and Walker doing the
pitching. Central has little to fear
from the other schools in this line.
Outside of the battery players Cen
trails strength is pretty much like
that of the other schools.
Western, Eastern and Business
have displayed enough baseball to
warrant the prediction that both Cen
trail and Tech must be on their toes
to come through this year for a win.

However, yesterdays defeat should be
laid at Ed Gharritys gate, rather than
at any OF the others.
Olaf Erickson showed August
twirling. He should have won In the
conventional nine frames, Instead he
raced away for fourteen and then
saw defeat. to /. 1t was tough
luck. for the viking was pitching
wonderful ball. In the third inning
the Red Sox were handed cheap
run when Charity tossed low to Har-
ris. In the fourteenth, instead OF
passing Hooper and taking McNaliy,
Charity called for Erickson to find
the plate. Hooper collided with
clean single to center. scoring Dc
vine with the deciding tally.
Red sox Tied Up.
A fine double by Harris opened
the third frame. Erickson sacrificed
neatly and Judges long fly to Hen
dryX scored Harris. But the Red SoX
tied ii up in Their half.
Scott opened with hard single to
left. going to third on Walters sac
rifce and Jones infield out. Hooper
was deliberately passed and made
break for second. Gharritys throw
to Harris was low. the ball getting
away from the second sacker. This
prevented a play at the plate and
Scott scored before Hooper could be
run back and killed at first base. 1t
was a cheap run. but 1t counted.
From then on the teams battled
evenly down to the fourteenth. There
were times when a run seemed i'm
m.nent. but never did 1t appear until
that fourteenth.
The sun had long since disap-
peared and the northeast wind
smelled of icebergs and cold storage.
The fans, true to their New England
training, hung on the end, hardly a
handful of the $3.50 quitting until
that winning tally went over.

Eddie Foster drew a walk to start

Rice galloped some distance for
Scott's fly. but Mickey Devine, the
Rookie catcher, poked single

went on. Joe Bush swung hard, but
his pop foul fell into Judges nit, and
up came Harry Hooper, the Red Sox
captain. Three different times ear

1t was dollars to holes in doughnuts

Just when 1t seemed as though the
fans would go crazy with anxiety.

runs seemed ready to be counted, only

fouled to the catcher. That hurt.
McNalIy Got On.
In the fourth McNally got around
to third with two gone, only to have
Foster foul to Charity. Hendrix
took a walk to open the seventh, but
the next three could do nothing.
Mike Menosky ripped a triple over
Roths head to open the ninth. but
when he tried to score off Fosters
fly to Rice, the Washington outfielder
killed him at the dish with a perfect
peg. That was a beautiful throw. the
first for Sam this season. He should
get many a runner with that arm of
his this summer.
Walters singled with one gone in
the tenth. but Hooper was purposely
passed and McNally fouled to Char
rity. This same play was repeated in
the twelfth, when walters doubled to
right center, the run being choked OF
when Erickson tossed out McNaITy.
That made it all the rougher when
Hooper succeeded in slapping that
single to center in the fourteenth,
scoring Foster.

ClLCREST HAS RICH TROPHIES
 ALASKA HUNT

Bringing with him the most re- markable collection of wild game. pictures photographed in Alaska and bringing the trophy heads of two of that frigid country of game plenty, Thomas Gilcrest returned to his Long Betch home Sunday, complet- ing an 8,000-mile trir of 70 days du- ration, says the Lr Beach (Cal) Telegram. A company of 12 well cOmed him at a dinner party at his Los Cerritos home, formerly the George Bixby residence, Sunday eve- ming.
 Mr. Gilcrest found wild game plentiful, moose and sheep being particularly so. He spent his time hunting with a camera as we'll as with a gun, using the camera on all but the two largest moose seen dur ing the season. This pair he brought down by the rifle route. The largest had a 68-inch antler spread with 19 poins on each branch. The two point ed palms of the antlers measured IS inches wide and 50 inches long. The second of the animals was but slightly smaller.
 His photograph collection is as re- markable as is the size of the moose i he bagged. He pictured the ami mals at dangerously close range, and was able to get his photographs only because he has spent year sin the study and the experience of pictur- wild game One of them he took in the open at a distance of less than 12 feet from one of the largest moose that he saw during the trip. The moose saw Mr. Gilcrest, who was able to hold so motionless that 1 the animal, after investigation, de- cided that he, was a stump. The pho tographer was then able to take one of the most remarkable of game pie | lures seen in Alaska. Had he moved while the moose was wondering, he would have been killed on it's goug- ing antlers.
 Other times he was in such close proximity to herds of the moose and wild sheep that he could have reached through the brush and 1 touched them. He witnessed from cover of the underbrush a fight be- tween two bulls of a herd of moose. The combatants rushed at each other, crashing with noise that could be heard for miles, tearing small trees to the ground and mak- ing large ones sway. The impact with which they met each other made the ground tremble.
 MT. Gilcrest was surprised to see the industrial development of the country is not advancing at the pace that it should, although there are numerous mines in operation and numerous canneries working in the salmon seasons. He says that Ket- chikan is the most rapidly develop ing of the Alaskan cities, for near it l there are several developing mines and there are 125 salmon canneries. At Cordova there is the Guggen- helm mine, the largest in the world. Outside of these two places. how ever, there seems to be little ac- tivity.
 There is some government work of extension of railroad lines and road building in some districts, MT. Gil l chaef etntnh

OBJECTION TO
 SLTKA WHARF
 IS 0VERRULED

SITKA, Nov. 23-W. P. Mills, who has been in Seattle for several weeks, has sent a wire from there that government objection to the extension on the municipal wharf has been overruled. Improvements of the old wharf will start imme- dately, new piles will be driven which will give maximum width to the finished wharf twice that it has now.
 The wharf, with the newly con- pleted dock of c. M. McGrath, will give Sitka docking facilities compar- able to any town of it's size in Alas ka AS the problem of wharfing large boats has been solved, many believe it would be a good plan to push the building of municipal float Sitka needs municipal float for small boats, as many believe such a float would be an invitation for such boats to make their home port, and spend thousands of dol lars each year in outfits, clothing, food and fishing gear.
 The Arctic Club gave it's annual Halloween dance at the A. N. B. hall. The hall was plettily decorat- ed to carry out the idea of the oc- casion with pumpkins and black cats. Excellent punch and a fine string orchestra featured the eve ming, entertaining the 40 couples until 1 o'clock in the morning. {. MT. and Mrs. William Niederhaus CT and Jim Russell, who have spent the past month hunting and fishing in the vicinity of Sitka, returned during the week.
