BASEBALL
SPOTLIGHT
By “Nosey”
Boy oh boy! Did you see those
games last night? Talk about ac
tion and excitement. The women
can certainly put on the show.
They certainly made some of the
men’s teams look tame in com
parison to the exhibitions last
night. Heard frequent comments
that the Married Women and the
Commercial teams should be
matched for a tight seven inn_
ing go, and that the High School
Girls ought to take on the Ham
mon team.
The big upset of the evening
happened when the Blazers, com
posed of young native girls, de
feated the Alaskan Women, also
native women. The bets were
many and high on the strong Al_
askan team which early piled up
a 12 to 2 lead, but unexpectedly
blew up in the fifth inning, allow
ing the Blazers to bring in seven
runs. As if that were not enough
they did the same thing again in

the sixth and the Blazers led 16
to 12. The Alaskan Women how
ever came back in the seventh
and last inning to bring in two
scores, and with only one out and
two runners on bases, it looked
like a tie score. A fly was hit,
caught, and the runner on second
walked off second base even
while the play was in progress
to throw the ball to second, for
the third out. Evidently she
thought there were already two
out when the fly was caught. The
Blazers became nearly frantic
with joy as they discovered they
had won, as from reports, the
Alaskan Women had been judged
far superior to the other team.

What a howl of razzing and
cheering went up when the High
School Girls and the Married
Women’s teams took the floor for
the second game of indoor base
ball. You’d a thought the game
was already under way and some
tight plays being pulled off. From
the start it looked like every hus
band in town was taking part in
the cheering—I mean the Bronx
cheering which accompanied ev
ery play by the Married Women,
while the High School Girls got
nothing but bouquets—and which
they richly deserved after wit.

and heady plays which they pull
ed.
The High School girls started
off with a barrage of hits and
took a lead of 9 to 2 in the fourth
increasing it to 19 to 5 at the end
of the game. They had the Mar
ried Women so befuddled for inn
ing after inning that they didn*t
know whether they were coming
or going. Possibly the most out
standing star of the second game
was the second baseman for the
High School Girls, Anna Walsh,
who caught flies, tagged runners
out at second, and then walked
up to the plate and knocked balls
in the gallery.
The pitcher for the High School
Girls had a little trouble with the
tails of her middie, but that cer.
tainly seemed to help the way
she kept the Married Women
swinging at the ozone. As a
whole the High School Girls cer
tainly out-played the Married
Women in every department.
I’d like to mention the names
of outstanding players on the
Married Women’s team, but I’m
afraid if I don’t mention all of
them, I’m liable to get some un
expected visitors. However, I
can say that they had a hard row
to row, what with more than 200
persons yelling down at them
that they were to old, too fat, too
big, too slow, can’t hit, and a hun
dred other “nice” comments, whi
ch thundered at them for the en_
tire game. They can certainly
take it, and that should be a good
example to some of the men’s
teams.
Possibly the best all around
player on the Alaskan Women
was the left short, Lillian Luke,
who caught, hit, ran bases almost
better than a man. And the pit
cher and catcher combination of
the Alaskan Women was a sister
team—Lucille Gabriel being the
catcher and Lillian Gabriel being
the pitcher—and boy could she
wind up and send ’em over.
On the Blazer Team, hardly a
player was outstanding, each one
filling her position and assisting
in the put-outs in rapid order.
This team was coached by Martin
Willoya, and the Alaskan Women
was coached by Joe Amarok.
Coach for the High School Girls
I
was Supt. Calvin Pool; and coach
for the Married Women was sup_
posed to be Kenneth Rude. I’ll
have to check on that though, be
cause somebody said Umpire Guy
Boyd was also their coach. Um
pire Boyd didn’t umpire last
night, and Harry Hagen took his
place.
“Was He Handsome, and Did
My Maw Give Me Hell”? might
have applied last night when
coaches and umpires got together
in the High School Girls-.Mar
ried Women’s game to have a lit
tle session of night school, over
the question of whether a base
runner was out, when hit by a
batted ball. The crowd which
was just looking for an oppor
tunity to lay down the law to the
umpires and coaches, sure gave it
to them when they started look,
ing through the rule book—and
on top of that they had lost the
page on which the particular rule
was written. Of course they fin
ally found it in time to let the
game go on.
With the High School Girls on
a batting spree against the Mar
ried Women, some of the crowd
kept calling to “put Rude in”,
“put Rude in”. Tin pans horns,
whistles, megaphones and what
nots were used to hammer away
with the razzing of the Married
Women, all of which was in good
humor, although one brave rooter
whose spouse used to play on the
Married Women’s team forsook
them to cheer for the young’uns.
Heard some other kind of razz,
ing going on that the Commer
cials were certainly getting to be
softies, by crawling out of their
game with the Alaskans last nite,
and bringing about the two wo
men’s games. In turn, I heard
that the Hammons’ said they
would fill in with a game with
the High School Boys, when ar
rangements were up in the air,
but when asked if they would
play the Alaskans, due to injur,
ies on the Huskies team they said
“that was asking too much”.
