BASEBALL
SPOTLIGHT
By “Nosey”
Learned that some of the lines
on the baseball diamond and the
home plate have been painted, so
that the players, spectators, and
I hope even the umpires can see
it now.
There's one thing I like about
indoor baseball. It brings out
the sportsmanship in a player.
Often times the breaks are dead
against him and then he sees a
decision which he believes to be
wrong, which usually makes any
player pretty sore. Even if he
objects to the decision and is rul
ed against, he can still show good
sportsmanship. Those w'ho take
such decisions ungraciously and
bitterly, letting all and sundry
hear their crying and excuses, do
not live up to the best rules of
the game and sportsmanship. I’ve
heard many players and official
members of the teams described
as poor sports because they can
not lose as gracefully as they
win. Maybe some of this talk on

sportsmanship is described by
several as a lot of “hoey”, but it j
isn’t. More than half of the j
pleasure of the game is being
, able to lose as well as win, with
perfect good sportsmanship and
feeling. Would like to see a lit
tle more sportsmanship and less
“petty larceny" attitudes.
They tell me that the two pitch I
ers on the Hammon teams and ;
the pitcher of the Commercials
will be going into Wednesday |
night’s game, dead set for plenty [
of work. The Commercial pitch- j
er turned in the best pitching of j
the evening last Wednesday, andj
is reported to be practicing hard
! for his tilt with the league-lead
jing Hammon team. Stick the
'Hammon! And you thereby lop 1
j off the leaders and the League
] might belong to anybody yet.

Since last week, it is further
'reported that the Huskies have
been grooming their two speed
ball artists preparatory to their
tilt with the Alaskans Wednes-;
day. While they are at it, they'd ^
better have a little batting prac- :
tice for the entire team.
Been listening at the outpost!
again and it is rumored the Ham 1
mon-Commereial game Wednes
day night is expected to be the
highlight of the series so far. As!
I said once before, the stories of j
their former bitter battles in
years past, would make interest
ing reading for the grandchild
ren. Their games have always j
been tinctured with the most ser-!
ious intentions and characteris-'
tics of an explosive nature. I

of the Hammon was suffering'
from a bad knee as a result of

might not play this Wednesday.

find out for sure whether he'll be
in the game or not.
With two losses to their credit,
the Huskies are reported deter
mined to take the Alaskans into
camp this week. Practice for the
game is serious and any weak
points discovered are being iron
ed out and developed into strong
attributes. On their own side the
Alaskans feel that losing last
week’s game was just careless
ness and are determined to stay
up near the top of the league so
that when they play the Ham
mon again, the chances will be
that they can tie up the series for
a playoff.
I hear a lot of baseball talk go
ing around town everyday now.
showing that the people have
turned their interests toward this
fine indoor sport—at least tnat s
what the rule book calls the
game—a fine indoor sport—altho
you ask a lot of persons and they
’ll tell you that it’s a lot of work;
as evidenced by the streams of
perspiration which run off their
noble brows during a game.
The largest crowd of the sea
son so far is expected at Wednes
day's game to see if the leaders
of the league can continue their
march undefeated, and to watch
the spirited battle which Is cer
tain to take place between the
Huskies and Alaskans. If you
want real good seats you’ll have
to be there early. Some people
have developed the habit of being
there when the doors are opened
at 7:15 p.m.
And that brings to mind the
coming Women’s Indoor Series,
which, it is reported will start
next week, in connection with
the men’s games. As it was ex
plained in some quarts—I mean
quarters—there will a woman’s
game and a man’s game on the
following Wednesday, two of the
men’s teams taking a rest for that
week and playing the next. It’s
a cinch that these women’s games
will attract the attention of the
entire town. The opportunity for
the poor, henpecked husband to
grow a tremendous raspberry
and present it to his wife while
she is on the floor during the

If only the weather will clear
