a time until they got to him in
the fourth inning. Then their
other first string pitcher came in
but hitting and runs did not stop
although both pitchers came thru
fine, lacking of fielding support
and errors being disastrous and
resulting in runs, often times
when two men were already out.
I liked the idea of uniforms on
the players of the Huskie and
Commercial teams—made the
floor look real colorful—even af
ter the Commercial pitcher spill
ed a little claret in sliding home
once. Hope to see uniforms on
the other two teams next week.
There were certainly lots of
wit at the games last night—and
then again there was also a lot
of them who were only half right.

players—seems like that was
where the suits came from.
Somebody always has it in for
the umps. “I still insist we got
two of the blindest umpires ever
seen on a Nome floor”, some wag
shouted—all of which goes to
show the way the breaks come.
Personally I thought the umps
did a pretty good job of decision
ing. Once in a while they gave
some pretty bad ones in both of
the games. With breaks of the
game going strong against the
Huskies, the Commercials were
more than lucky to win, consider
ing the strikeouts that were made.
I noticed that the left short
stops on every team last night
got 'ell, making fumbles which
were costly and balling up plays
at other times. They finally had
to take one of them out of the
Hammon game and put in anoth
er—report: he ooudn't see. The
shorts in the Huskie Commercial
game pulled some bad ones too.
One of them is young and some
what inexperienced and the oth
er is too fat.
I listened around last night,
see if I couldn’t pick up some
real fancy cracks but all I could
hear was ‘‘Who the Hell is Nos
ey?” Now that isn’t any way!
to refer to the writer of this
column. If you want to get in
the newspapers, just keep that
up. I heard a lot of people pick
ing out more Noseys last night—
even as far as guessing there are
two of them writing the column,
one, one day and the other, the
next.

Brown, and then I lost track. I
don't like to disappoint any
one, but they aren’t Nosey.
Some people think they have to
get to the gym real early in or
der to get a seat, among them
being “Stormy” and his wife, Joe
Wallace and The Stangrooms,
who all were waiting at the door
to get in when it was opened.
They seem to be getting the ring
side seats on the stage.
The hall was pretty warm last
night for players and spectators,
but not half as warm as some of
the managers were with the game
tense and close. One of them did
n’t dare show too much of him
self on the floor when the going
got tough because the old Bronx
Cheer would float down to him
like it was in a funnel. Do you
know who the managers are?

You know, I don’t like to end
today’s column leaving a bad
taste in anybody’s mouth. Far
be it from me to slam anyone. A
little mild criticism sometimes
goes a long ways—but “How long
oh Lord?” before those umpires
are going to wake up and see
about fifty percent of the Ham
man team with their feet outside
of the batting box when they hit
the ball. And that goes for some
others on the other three teams.
And that brings to mind, what
has been told to me, concerning
former Hammon Commercial
games before the fire—that they
don’t let a bet go by on either
side, and the game usually re
sults in a near-niot. Well, they
meet next Wednesday night, and
the Huskies take on the Alask
ans. “If you think the Com
mercials will let them get away
with hitting illegally, you’re crazy
as a loon”, said a rabid Commer
cial enthusiast. ‘‘The umps might
not see it”, one timid soul said
in the gallery, last night. “ I bet
they see it next week” said an
other.
The High School rooting sec
tion had some fine new yells to
cheer the Huskies on last night,
and they are a fine addition to
the entertainment of the even
ing—providing color and plenty
of humor. The proverbial Alask
an sled dog, a Huskie, was led
around the hall last night with
the “saw-bones” coming behind,
as a threat to the Commercials
which unfortunately did not mat
erialize.
Now mark me well, if you want
to get the real kick out of these
games, be sure and attend. I
like to drop a few bouquets on

ce in a while, even though they
are pretty scarce, along with the
brickbats. I was pleased last
night to see that no injuries or
accidents occurred, except to one
four-eyed player, and he needs
a couple more pair of “cheaters"
if he's going to hit the ball. He
dropped his glasses twice in go
ing around the bases once.
(Editor's Note: As long as this
is the end of today’s column we
think he might get personal so
we had Nosey say “Adios". That
last remark of his couldn’t be
deleted.)
Sockeye Salmon
Discovery Lakes
In Connecticut
tRw The Associated Tress >
HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 14
Large schools of sockeye salmon
a species native to the west, the
Pacific Coast and Alaska, which
never before were found in this
section of the country, has been
discovered in Twin Lakes at Ca
naan. The State Board of Fish
eries and Game, disclosed that
scientists had studied the strange
golden colored ‘‘trout” in the
lakes and how they became es
tablished and survived, is still
under investigation.
Lyle Thorpe, aquatic expert of
the board, said the records as far1
back as '76 fail to reveal any
planting, and that a Canaan resi-1
dent first observed them when a
few fish were found on a sandbar,
spawning late in 1935.
