COMMERCIALS WIN .
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
Big Eagle Hall was crowded last
Wednesday evening by indoor base
ball enthusiasts when the teams
copiposed of the Commercials and
Hammon played off a tie, each
team having won four and lost two
' games during the series between
the fpflr teams. *
A great deal of intense•interest
as well as some personal feeling
entered the games during the
series, which after all probably ac
counts why. the'. American public
fakes so* much interest in. baseball.
Of course after it is all over every
one forgives and forgets wbat
they sftid or did ./fir even thought,
during the heated progress' of the
games, which is a good thing, to
do. ...
At tho beginning or tire series
the Alaskans', a native team, show,
ed themselves. to best advantage;,
the Federal^ also developed.-*-good
t team and the Hammon team was
.-. up and coming, a dangerdats threat
at all times. The' •' Cojn mer^ials’
• . was the weakest team in. the be
ginning of the series, lacking a
Seasoned Catcher for one thing;
while the. balance of the tfiarri
were more or less" aecusfomid to
indoor baseball. Hfiv/e'veT. ‘.it is
safe to say ‘that"'Catcher Ohiuk
* J
Adams is the most important man
that came to the front during the
series. In the beginning, he not
'being familiar with Indoor ball, he
was unable to hold the fast balls
pitched by Harold Dill of the Com
merclals, thus allowing many runs
to come in on passed balls. As
the games progressed eredit js due
him in catching a flue game and
with good pitching and fielding 'by
the balance of the team they were
able to come out of a tough start
to a grand fln'sh, * thereby, captnr
'ing the championship of Nome and
i Nor h western Alaska.
