It notes that Anchorage has a baseball grounds, on which last July 4th the town boys played the town girls. Freedman, "Diamonds in the Rough" p. 14 says that Anchorage was a tent city in 1915. Yet employers asked new residents whether they could play baseball. An Anchorage-Seward baseball rivalry started in 1916.
