HMD FOUGHT GAME
Valdez 5 Seward 4
Howard Aug. 3—Valdez yesterday
for the second *time deinostrated its
superior ability on the diamond, Capt.
Bess and his aggregation defeating
the locals in one ot the most interest
ing games ever seen in this part of
Alaska. It was not until the ninth
inning that the affair was settled and
then the end came in such a manner
that the Sewardites are satisfied that
with a little morcjluek the nine from
this town would have won. At any
rate there is to he another game this
afternoon as the Vuldez visitors fan
not start for home until tonight,. The
guiuo will be f<»r $200.
As a matter of fact errors on the
part ot Seward guve Valdez the game
for twice in th* ninth mulTv of Hies
allowed the visit >rc to score. One of
these mulTsjWJi* * long tlv off Brad
ford's bat when th»* buses were full,
allowing two runs with two men ont
and Valdeat two runs to the bad.
ValdoK scored one run in its half of
the third inning and another in the
sixth. Seward was shut out until the
seventh when one man was sent across
the plate. In the eighth Seward kept
tip its lick and sent three men aerowa
and the rooters from Valdez cheered
against hope when the visitors went
to the bat for t'.u la t inning of the
game.
Hill, first up for YnU'e/. hit safe
but was t\ ree»l .,ti! at second by
Speck wlivKc high lis v a • dropped,
the fielder g<'tlir.r i' i > .-e -end in

safe and Speck went to tier ond.
Bess hit a safe « ue and S| c< k canto
home on a fielder's choice, bush sac
rificed and Tibbitts advanced Buck
and Bess filling the bases.
With two out Bradford came to tin
bat, and the Valdez rooters held their
breaths, sighed with regret when he
sent a high one into the out field
where a fielder waited for it to come
down and settle things and then rip
ped the atmosphere wide with noise
when the fielder dropped the hall
and Buck and Bess romped across the
home station with the runs that de
cided the game.

Seward, Aug. 4—Seward never had
a look-in yesterday afternoon, Val
doz winning tho second ball game by
a score of 23 to 7. The last half of
tho game was a farce, but the crowd
stuck until the last out in tho last
half of tho last inning. The closeness
of Sunday's game is duo to tin* fact
that tho Valdoz players were up near
ly all tho previous night, and also be
cause they took fool chances in their
base running.
There was no bowling match last,
night, the crowd instead being enter

three quarters of the purse.
The match was in tho Valdez-Soat

big crowd, including many women.
Seward has proved itself an unex
celled host and the visitors arc having
a groat time. There was a big dance
last night and there has been joy for
the Yaldezites over since they reached
town.

to the extent of $0,000. Wells was
arrested lust night just a* he and Miss
Winniston, who eloped from Chicago j
with him, wen; returning from a I
theatre.
Well's story is t hat of a young man, !
carefully reared in » small town
where lie occupied a position of pro
minence, fnlling In love with a dash
ing young woman sent by fate to the
place of his happiness. Wells was
fluttered by the manner in which Ids
attentions to Miss Winniston were re-1
ceived and sfter she returned to Chi- j
cago he went often to visit her,
spending more money t han he could
afford.
At last Wells obtained Miss Win

ing himself to the funds in his care,
lie went to Chicago to claim his
bride, For some reason she objected
to having the wedding ceremony read

that, until after his arrest, he could
not bring himself to a realizat ion of
the fact that the only Interest felt
for him by Miss Winniston was pure
