NEW ADMINISTRATION FUR TERRITORY BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION SINCE VISIT HARDING
EFFECTS ALL ALASKA DEPART MENTS BUT JUDICIAL AND P. 0. NUMEROUS BUREAUS AND DE. APARTMENTS WOULD BE UNDER ONE DEPARTMENT.
PRESIDENT WILL SELECT HEADS
Existing Defects In Alaska Adminis- tration Led to Confusion and h. creased Cost which Under New Rule Would Be Eliminated.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 9. [P) Heads of the departments under the reorganization bill will be selected from Alaska forces by the President with the consent of the secretaries who may transfer any Alaska depart ment activities to any of the three sec retaries. Work said, "it would be an ideal organization and would have combined all Federal activities except the Judiciary and postoffice under a single department, but the existing de- fects in intra-departmental admins tration would lead to confusion and cost of administration"
 Reorganization has been considered since the late President Harding visit ed Alaska with Secretaries Hoover and Work, who have been working with Jardine on the plan.
 Senator Willis, chairman of the Ter ritories Committee, who introduced the Alaska Administration Bill, made pub lie yesterday by Secretaries of Agri- culture, Interior and Commerce, said he would press it for action at this session.

TENNIS COURTS BE REPAIRED
Hartman Lake and Bath House Also
 Come In for Improve ement.

About thirty members of the Sew ard Athletic Club responded to the meeting last evening the first to have been held since last December. Fol lowing the election of officers the ex- ecutive committee wre given instruc- tions to attend the next Town Coun- Gil meeting and confer with the coun- cilmen with respect to rental of the present s. A. c. quarters.
 Guy Barnett and Leonard Hopkins were appointed as a committee to take over the matter of preparing the ten his courts and, it's management thru out the coming season. Tapes for the ground and other necessities will be purchased immediately, and the courts whipped into shape.
 The executive committee will also confer with the members of the Town Council with respect to obtaining as- slstance of some sort, financial or oth- erwise, in preparing Hartman lake and the bath house, for this summer. The famous Seward bathing resort needs some shore work such as clean ing out a few snags, submerged logs and probably a few wagon loads of gravel on the lakes bottom, but it is principally the bath house which needs immediate attention. Mir. Shellhorne was appointed as a committee of one to get this most important matter un- der way.
 But it was King Baseball that came in for long discussion. Seward is going to have ball team accord ing to the enthusiasm displayed at last nights. meeting. Tom Dyer was appointed to make certain arrange ments whereby actual work will begin on the ball grounds at ten o'clock Sunday morning. Every member pre- sent last night asserted they would turn out with their pick and shovels and have whirl at it. At least 25 others are expected to show up for duty as we'll as many other citizens and fans who wish to assist in pre- pairing good field. A couple of motor trucks will be on hand to haul dirt and gravel besides other road equipment. It was stated one good days work on the field will put it in such shape that little additional work need be done aside from the actual leveling and tamping down of the infield.
 It was pointed out with the assur- ance that many ball games will be played in Seward this season, provid- ing suitable field was available, an asset is thereby created speaking vol umes for a community of this size. And working the grounds over this early in the season assures a good ball diamond. AS far as baseball ma terial is concerned space prohibits naming the long list of beavers who will be in Seward all summer. The nucleus ofs couple of fast teams is here now. With the every other day train service between Seward and An chorage there is nothing to block nu- mrous inter-city games from being played this season. Then there are the teams on the many boats plying into this port. From sporting stand point, the local 1926 sport season looms up like bear!
