Elks .. 3 3 5 1 0 8 -1e
 Despite the fact that the Juneau High School band that was to give the musical inspiration, got lost somewhere between the school and Triange Place yesterday, Juneau welcomed in the 1946 baseball sea son with bang. Not the least bit stopped by the showers through the afternoon a near capacity crowd turned out to see Joe Thibo- deau throw the first pitch to catch CT Ellis Reynolds. c. E. Almquist, watching the pitcher with steady eye, waited for the right ball, and by tricky bit of footplay made single. All this under the watchful eye of umpire Waino Hendrickson.
 This ceremony over, the crowd settled down to watch one of the finest clubfests Juneau has seen fer years When the smoke cleared away the Elks were found to have en eight point lead due to the four baggers by Joe Snow, Jim Moscrip, and Bill Ash.
 Juneau's younger ball players, in the persons of Eddie Krause, Jerry Magcrty and Bruce Gleason, show ed great promise, Eddie turning in the outstanding game getting two at four times at bat and scoring three runs.
