By “Nosey”
I don’t like to keep on includ.
ing more names as to those who
are being guessed as Nosey, but
1 did hear one that was a peach
the other night. One of those
loyal Hammon rooters (and I’ve
been told they’re very few left
after Wednesday), said: “Yah?,
You talk about dis Nosey. Some
of dam fools on works bin accus
in’ me, ‘Ole’, bein’ dis guy who
slips in dem fast ones in da pap.

I can well understand, how con.
tinual “harping” on sportsman,
ship would not be entirely wel_
corned in many quarters. Yet
that is the important feature of
the “game"—to be able to take
it, win lose or draw. As far as
peckish ridicule is concerned,
don’t make the mistake that the
point of this column is to hold
players and officials up to public

ridicule—far be it. They get the
“breaks" when admirable play.1
ing takes place, through legiti.'
mate praise, and if the ‘breaks”
are the other way, all sportsman.!
ship demands is that they can [
“take it”. Humorous criticism,
razzing, if you prefer to call it,
that, is not only visible thru this
anonymous column—it is to be
found in every line of athletics,
and with good sportsmanship
predominating throughout Nome
athletics, everyone gets a laugh
including players, spectators and
officials of all kinds, with no ul_
terior motives intended. As to
an anonymous column, it is nec.
essary for me to secret my identi
ty in order to preserve the ap. j
pearance and character of the
“pitching", so that personalities
shall not creep in and destroy
the interest which I have observ.
ed on nearly every hand. With
these remarks, I hope a better
understanding of this column may
result, and in the meantime, i
you may all be assured of a lot
of fun during the remainder of
the season and at its close.

is to be commended upon their
fine drawing of lines for the
column’s appetiaftig “stuff”. The
writer's knowledge of the refin.
ing attributes of life apparently
is wide. Would he reveal himself
or she, herself, I feel certain the
two of us could get together—
that is if the person had no more
serious compunction than to be
connected with such a lowly
scribe as myself.
He Doesn’t Think Nosey
Is Severe Enough
Nome, Jan. 25, 1937.
Dear Nosey:
I have been reading your col
umn regularly and must confess
that I get a kick out of it but
apparently your smeller is not
long enough to get the real in
side stuff.
I am only one of the many fans
and how some of the outrages
committed at the game escaped
you is certainly a reflection on
anyone with a name such as
yours. Why don’t you really go
after the umpires—you are too
soft. If you would call them a
few choice names they might im
prove. The fans as a whole
think they are lousy and if you
want my opinion I don’t think
they could umpire a croquet
match without getting socked
with a mallet. And if they don’t
do better I am going to organ
ize the fans and revive the old
sport of throwing pop bottles
at the umpires. The umps don’t
generally like this but really it
makes a lot of clean fun for the
fans and at the same time im
proves the umps’ decisions pro
viding of course that the fans
don’t get too rough.
And why didn’t you report the
fight in the bleachers? It is a
crime to see such a law abiding
fan as Bill Cameron openly as
saulted and get no protection
from our local police. Bill came
to the game with a swell horn
gadget which had required a
whole week of his spare time to
make. Of course he was all prim
ed to root for the Hammons but
he make the mistake of sitting
alongside of Gretchen Young
and Mrs. Chris O’Leary both of
whom are Commercial fans. Poor
Bill only got one squawk out of
his machine when both of these
women landed on him and before
Bill knew it they had wrecked
his gadget and had him on the
floor giving him the works. Ev
erytime he would show signs of
coming to they would sock him
again and when Billy finally
regained consciousness the game
was over. The Hammons, of cour
se won anyway despite this root
ing handicap. However, I think
they will slip from now on. This
is evidenced by the smilingly ov
erconfident looks on their faces,
particularly their pitchers. They
sure love themselves and sport
records prove that overconfidence
will beat any team. Then there
are the physical handicaps to
be considered. Their very cap
able catcher is only a shell of
his former self. He is suffering
from water on the knee to say
nothing ,of several of the others
who have water on the brain.
To add to all these handicaps,
there is a revolution within their
own ranks. This started during
the excitement of last week’s
