THE GREAT .AMERICAN GAME
To Americans, young and old
The World Senes baseball con
tests each fall, represent a fitting
climax to a six months season al
thrills and spectacular display ol
teamwork and baseball ability.
Even in far-away Nome there
are many who are interested in
these games, played between the
winners of the American and
National Leagues, in this case the
Yankees of the American and the
Giants of the Nationals, both of
New York City.
Judging by the sales of papers
and the frequent telephone calls
all day yesterday, interest in the
Great American Game, remains
undying.
Today the Yanks won their
second straight game of the Ser
ies. and strangely by the same
score as yesterday.
The games will continue un
til one or the other of the two
teams, has won four out of sev
en games. The Yanks now have
the edge, with 2 to 0 game score.
Which brings to mind the fact
that Nome has its own baseball
season, but unlike the States,
conducts it during the dead of
winter.
Indoor baseball as played in
Nome has drawn more spectators
and received more interest and
enthusiasm than a dozen World
Series—and all because it gives
to the spectator that American
privilege of “bawling the tar”
out of anyone and everyone con
1 nected with the game—and after
all, what American doesn’t en
joy the opportuniyt of letting off
steam and having a good time
doing it at that?

hours.
The Northland's position as re

Eskimo Folk Lore
Is Rich Human
Interest
Comprises a Story of Creation, a
Story of the Flood, a Samson
Story and Also a Story of Jon
ah and the Whale.
The 5skimos have a lore that is
rich and fanciful and comprises
a story of the ood, a story of how
the world was made, and a story
of an Eskimo Sam son,and a story
of Johan and the whale, all along
the lines of civilized man,but dif
fering somewhat, according to
the tribe. They have many of
their legends which are sugges
tive of Bibical stories and which
in the main are as authentic as
ot facts, as far as facts go. They
tell of the story of creation in a
language full of gutterals and
signs. On long winter nights
telling is indulged in by all tribes
and it is an interesting sight to
s?e the natives both young and
old, gathered about an old pat
riarch, listening to the euricous
myths handed down from father
to son. Story telling in the Es
I
kimn language is an art, as many
words used by the whites are un
known to the untutored child of
the Northland, whose vocabulary
at the best is limited to but a few
hundred words.
The Creation story of the Es
kimo differs from the Bible, and
as we attribute it to a civilized
source we must give Asiatics in
stead of missionaries credit for
■ having promulgated it among the
tribes of Alaska.
According to the Igeend, the
, world was made beautiful, warm
;and nice. Axeaktuk, whcih is Es
kimo for perfection. Meat was to
be had for the killing, and skins
hung at the door of every igloo
•in plenty. This perfection, how
ever. was not immediate, but the
result of long chemical changes.
At first the world was in a liq
uid state, but after ages it solid
ified. After it reached this stage
man was created. He first was
made double-faced and four-eyes,
so he could go forward and back
ward, and game could not escape
him. The Creator told him what
he must do, the kind of life he
must live, and left him to enjoy
all the beautiful things in the
world.
