 OVER NEW MATERIAL
SEWARD WILL PROBABLY HAVE FIVE BASKETBALL TEAMS THIS YEAR, MEN WOMEN, GIRLS AND BOYS

Fairbanks look to your laurels-is
 the present by-word of the Seward
 Athletic club. The last basketball
 turnout revealed to Coach "Ted" Mo
 Evan that some good Angel guided
 to the s. A. C., a trio of real snappy
 cage stars in the persons of Willis Lee, Galloway and Stevenson, who added to Johnson, Andresen,a Chya Roberts, and Mac, himself when the occasion demands, present an aggre- gation of basket shooters that Sew ard can we'll be proud of as compared to any other team in the Territory.
 "That fellow Willis is the classiest player in our midst" stated McEwan and this season should be a banner one for the club and the town.
 Just what city Mac would like to pit his bunch against first, he hasn't devulged; but the players, especially those of last years team, are anxious for crack at either Fairbanks or Cordova if travelling arrangements could be made
 At any rate, Seward folk will be treated to some good basketball games all seaon, between local talent alone, for Lieutenant Jones is drilling a squad of Signal Corps men four afternoons week and will not be be- hind the civilian crew when the gong for the first scrimmage is sounded. Nor is the game new to the Army men-most of them were former members of crack teams in the States-and in games between the civilians and soldiers in Seward, it must be remembered that Galloway and Stevenson are soldiers.
 Louis Thinker, one of the three mainstays of Seward basketball or ganizations will be lost to both teams this year, as Chubby Louie" is soon to depart from the North. If the department sends up another one ike "Tink" Seward will call 1t square.

Early reports to police headquar-
tiers said so workmen were missing

Three alarms were turned In and
all the available fire apparatus in
that section of Brooklyn was
rushed to the scene. It was feared
that two huge tasks adjoining the
pumping station mfgln explode as
A result OF the heat. Firemen pre-
vented this by keeping streams Of
water playing steadily upon the
tanks until the fire In the pumping
station had been extinguished.
The explosion caused a panic IN
the neighborhood. Mothers fled
from their homes, carrying their
children.
Several women tainted. Police
lines were hastily thrown around
