heavy score of 30-6. The Feder
ate defeated the Commercials 12
to 11.
Hammon-Alaskan Game ,
Much to the surprise of every
one, the Hammon team coming
from behind played the Alaskan
team off its feet. The game starr
ed promptly at 8 p.m. with Chas.
Code and Alfred Lomen officiating
as umpires. The Hammon batted
first and started off with a lump
toy knocking in four run% in quick
order. The Alaskans came back in
their half of the Inning and got
in two runs. Both teams blanked
in the second inning, with fast
'ball playing being done by both
sides. In the first of the third,
the Hammon brought in three
more runs and held the ^jaskans
to only one run. In the fourth,
the Hammon knocked in another
three runs and blanked the Alask
ans, bringing the score to 10 to
3 in their favor. The lucky fifth
started with a brilliant rally by
the Hammon which continued un
til they had chalked up thirteen
runs and three outs had been made.
V^ith the score standing 23 to 3
against them, the Alaskans came
in for their bats in the fifth and
started a rally which was just
barely nipped in the bud, and
added three runs, bringing their
score to six. In the sixth inning
the Hammon got one run and
blanked the Alaekans. In the sev
enth and last inning the Hammon
added six more runs as a climax
bringing the score to 30, and
again blanked the Alaskans. The
final score was 30 to 6 in favor
of the Hammon. Such a batting
spree has not been seen in Nome
for some tjme. The game last^A

npinutes. Score keepers were E. J.
Beck and Alvin Folet.
Following is the short score by

Federal-Commercial Game
In the second ggme of the ev
ening the score stes hot so top
heavy. It was nip and tuck for
either side right pp to the seven
th inning. .The Commercials had
their first bats and quick, hard
playing on the part of the Federals
retired the side without a score.
The Federals came -in for their
bats in the first and started with
a hang by bringing In-four runs
before three outs could be made.
In the second the Commercials got
nnder 'way and knocked in three
runs with heavy stick-work and
were retired just as a rally was'
starting. The Federals, - not to be
outdone, knocked in another four
runs bringing the ecore to 8 to 3
In their favor. In the third inning
both sides made one run each.
And again in the fourth they stay
ed on relatively the same basis,
both sides getting ‘wo runs apiece.
Both sides were blanked in the
I •, -•
fifth, and the score stood 11 to C
In faror of the Pederals. The sixth
inning started with a Commercial
rally which did not stop until
five rune had been chalked up,
brining the score to •'even Steven”.
The Federals were planked In
their half of the sixth. In the first
part of the seventh the Commer
cials could not break the tie, and
h&d to take another goose-egg.
They went Into the field to try
and keep the Federals from scor
ing in the last half-inning of the
game but the Federals were not
to be denied and forced the win
ning run over to take the game.
It wae not necessary to finish the
inning, as the game was already
won, so the final score read 12
II in favor of the Federals. It
was the closest game so far play
ed this year, and excited the base
ball interest to a high pitch. The
game lasted for exactly fifty-four
minutes.
Commercials 0 3 1 2 0 6 0—11
Federals 4 4 1 2 0 0 1—12
• Women Practicing Hard
Every baseball practice night,
both women teams are out on the
floor practicing hard in prepara
tion for their series to start t1bo
weeks Jfrom last Wednesday. The
married women ar$ devolping their
old lineup of last year with some
new players in it, And the single
women are using almost entirely
new players. The way the women
are batting, running, and throw
ing the ball around in practice,
shows that the games to come
are gding to be some real excit
ing tussles. Probably in next Sat
urday’s issue we will have a line
up of the two women’s teams to
publish for the benefit of infor
mation now being sought. Watch
the women!
Next Wednesday at the - large
Eagle hall the FederaJs and the
Hammon will play the first game
of the evening and the second one
will be between the Alaskans and
Commercials. All four teams are
now on the same footing, each
team having won and lost one
game. Next week by this time
t,h©re will be two teams on top
^nd two on the bottom. The gam
es nftrt Wednesday are certain to
be thrillers judging from the type
of ball played last Wednesday. The
teams are getting faster and bet
ter playing is, sure to come. So
watch your chance and take in the
next Wednesday night gamns. Fol
lowing is the lineup of each team
in last Wednesday's games.

LOMBN REINDEER DRIVE
NEAR COMPLETION
(Continued from Page One)
ibeen established across Canada
along the Arctic seacoast. These
posts have gradually changed the
nafbits of the Eskimo.- To pro
cure rifles ammunition, power
boats, gasoline and other com
modities that he v did not need "be
fore, the native n^ust now hunt
foxes, because fox pelts are prac
tically the only articles to be pro
cured in the Far North which are
of commercial value to the trader.
The change from hunter to
trapper has altered the seasonal
movement of the Eskimo, and
since he now traps foxes during
the time when he was formerly
catching seals and hunting cari
bou, he must now go to the trader
for his food and clothing. This
change from an exclusive meat
and flab diet to badly cooked.
Jams, tea and canned foods, and
from his own sensible skin ap
parel to the imported clothing of
the white man, has not been "bene
flcial to the Eskimo; his health
and vitality have been lowered,
and he has been left with little
resietance against the contagious
diseases that always follow the
advance of civilization.
Another factor which makes the
native more than.**tevcr dependent
upon the catch of foxes is the de
crease in the game supply of the
country. The Introduction of mod
ern, high-powered firearms has of
course been most disastrous to
the wild life. While the native
no lodger depends exclusively on
the game for his food supply,
I nevertheless when he happens now
to come across a laree band of
caribou he to likely to . continue
shooting until he has exceeded his
actual requirements. Hunting
having become more intensive
along the Arctic Coast, the wary
caribou have in the past decade
entirely changed their migrational
routes; the northward trek new
turns to the east before reaching
the coast, and the hoards spend
the summer in the interior.
The government q! Canada has
watched these changes with con
cern because of the danger that
the Ejskitnos, confined to one line
of hunting, may be seriously af
fected by the periodic fluctations
in the number of fnr-bearers and
Ibr changes in the far market.
With the object of broadening the
'basis of subsistence of the natives,
the Department of the Interior
has been for a considerable time
looking into the possibilities of
battling up the nnmbera of the
larger animals. The Royal Com
mission on the Reindeer and Musk
-ox was appointed In 1919, and
since that time a number of inves
tigations have been conducted and
a study has been nude of experi
ments of various private persons
and organisations.
The government ascertained that
conditions in Alaska forty years
ago were very similar to those
now prevailing in the Canadian
Arctic. "The introdnction of do
misticated reindeer from Siberia
has done much to improve the
state of the Alaskan Eskimo, the
original herd having increased
from 1280 to over thre quarters
of a million. In addition, more
than 200,000 animals have been
elanghtered to supply meat and
clothing for the native population.

dian government to promote the
