BASEBALL CLASSICS OF THE
YEAR FLAYED THURSDAY
TO NEARLY 1,000
Tre greatest single aggregation
of movie producers in the north
stretching over a distance from
Africa to Alaska and Nome, ball
players all of them, and the great
est aggregation of airplane pilots
and mechanics prepared for indoor
tmseball from Buenos Aires to
Nome, gathered for the big fTay
last Thursday night to Bhow how
the game should be played.
The big baseball classic of the
year was played last Thursday ev
ening in the large Eagle Hall be
fore approximately 800 or 1000
people, when the M-G-M movie
company played the PAA airplane
team. The single girls played the
married women.
-With the storm'yesterday neith
er the Metro Goldwyn Mayer movie
colony could proceed with their
work of Aiming the novel by Pet
er Freuchen "The Eskimo”, nor
could the Pacific Alaska Airways
pilots and mechanicians go about
transporting the remainder of the
company from their site at Teller
to Nome, so they agreed to fight
to a finish, at indoor baseball at
the Bagle Hall. They had all pre
parations made including a 6-piece
dance orchestra for a dance foll
owing the ball games. The loser
of the two teams was to pay all
expenses and the PAA lost by a
score of 13-11, a close game.
Single girls team played the
married women as a preliminary.
This game was just considered as
a practice game between the lad
les’ teams and not' one of their
Tegular series. They have a few
practices yet before they are ready
but the game last night seemed
to give the single girls an edge,
they having beat the married wo
men by a score of 17-12. Following

The big "palooka” scramble of
the evening was between the MGM
and the P. A. A. with both sides
trying to out-do the other in mak
ing the prize ‘^bone-heads” of the
game. One side would try and
throw the ball in the gallery to
keep dropping it and the other side
would send out assistants to help
the baserunners around the bases
to the home plate. All in all how
ewer, the plftyars and spectators
alike had a lot of fun and there
