BASEBALL TEAMS
' ARE WARMING UP
The four ndoor baseball teams
o be known as the Couimercla,'’1
Hammons, Fe lerals and Alaskans,
are practicing every Monday and
Wednesday evenings and are fasi
working into condition. Daring
the past week some good ball play
ing developed during practice
games between the teams and con
siderable rivalry Is already mani
fest.
It is impossible at this tin-.e to
give the actual lineup of the diff- j
eri nt teams but we expect to .be
able to publish them next issue.
However, enough information has
leaked out to give you the pro
bable batteries, which are under
stood to be as follows:
Commercials: Captain Kenneth
Rudd and Howard Lyng, manager,
believe they have one of the strong
e»t aggregation of indoor base
ball players ever assembled in the
tar North, with Ron ferussau pitch
if-n and Afred J. Lomen catching,
are expected to make it hard for.
the other teams to reach th rd
base, let alone scoring.
The Hammon team with Carl
Olavirtovich and Charles O'Leary
a pitchers and with Art Harris,
the champion catcher of the North
make this aggregation hard to
bea\ Even money is already be
. ’ .( ' /V .
lng offered that the Hammon team
will not fin sh second.
The Federal team will be cap
tained this year by Rood, of the
reindeer service. The Federate
will be strengthened this year by
Harold Dill as pitcher and Allan
Lee> catching. Under the “New
Deal” and with several democrats
taking office, this team will, we
hope, give an extraordinary good
account of themselves.
The Alaskans, composed of nat
ive boys and who placed such re
markable baseball the past t.wo
years will be captained by Joe
Aniaroak who says that his team
is going out to win first place and
believes they will John Kawasuk
will again be the pitcher andt
JameB Gabriel catcher. It is said
that this battery has improved
wonderfully in the practice games.
