CALLS BASEBALL TOO DEAD
Boss of Seattle Club Complains About New Rubber-Center Spheres
 Adopted This Year.

Walter McCreedie, manager of the Seattle club of the Pacific Coast league, is the first manager to con- plain about the new rubber-center baseballs, which have been adopted for this year. Last year the league used a ball with a cork center, but this was thrown out as being too lively. These balls are not exactly fitted for our purpose" McCreedie said. "May- be we haven't the best grade of ball, or maybe the skinned diamond is to blame. The balls seem bigger and deader"

PICTURE CONCERN HAS
 MUCH WORK IN FUTURE

'$sGeorge Edward Lewis, president of the recently organized Alaska Moving Pictures Corporation, who returned from business trip to the states on the last boat has made tentative program regarding the future opera tions of the company.
 At the outset of the organization of the company it was though possible to commence operations by the lat ter part of this month, or possibly early in September. This, owing to matters of delay, is found at present to be impracticable as the dark months will soon be here and considerable eX- pense would be incurred in bringing people from the states for the filming of the first picture. MT. Lewis is Of kthe opinion that it is better and an 'economical feature to postpone the &C., tual heavy work of shooting until the early part of the year when the days will commence to get longer.
 MT. Lewis work will in the interim be devoted to consolidating the loose threads of the company; closing up the stock subscriptions and other mat ters so that when the actual work is commenced there will be nothing to hinder progress. In this connection 1t will be necessary for him to select five "set" sites-Cordova, Valdez Sew ard, Anchorage and Fairbanks being tAe towns selected. Two of these sets must be completed before the cold weather begins.
 As an innovation in the producton of the films the company will have portable developing tanks, and these must also be constructed, which will be carried to wherever shots are being made Seward, will however, be the permanent headquarters of the con- pany and from this office will be made all releases and here will be done all of the work required for completing all pictures-cut outs, testing runs, etc.
 The first picture to be released will be one of publicity, every town from Ketchikan to Fairbanks being shown, according to the judgment of the chambers of commerce of those places.
 In recognition of the future possibili- ties the venture holds the Alaska s. S.. Company is willing for the publicity it will receive to grant special rates to the venture on all their water transportation and will extend evL1v courtesy to the company, even to the extent of building special sets on yes sels of their line.-Seward Gateway.
