I took a look at the re-painted j
lines and home plate in the gym,!
and you can really see them on
ce more. The pitchers had troub ■
le, though. It had been so long
aince they'd seen what the home
plate looked like they didn’t re-1
cognize it. when they were prac
ticing.

I guess the Hammon catcher Sc
captain will be in the game all
right tomorrow night, from all1
reports. He was out practicing ^
w*tth the team last night, and
vigorously denied he wouldn’t
be playing. Show’s how a fell
ow can be wrrong once in a while
on the mukluk telegraph.
No w’onder a team starts to!
lose games when coaches and
other officials don’t show up to
help in the team practices.

Some of the teams have been
overlooking a bet. Of course,

they’ve gobbeled up all those
experienced outdoor baseball
players and “wise Mikes", but
they overlooked one. “Hawke
shaw Laws,” Chief of the Nome
Police and Chief of the Fire De
partment used to play profession
al baseball on the Pacific Coast
as far back as 1913, and he was
a good one too, from all reports.
‘Hawkeshaw" just completed the
daring capture of a robber who
is alleged to have committed lar
ceny in the Pioneer Fountain
Lunch night before last. Good
work Chief—-See if you can dis
cover who Nosey is.
The day fast approaches—to
morrow in fact—when the teams
play some real serious indoor
baseball. Pep talks and plans
for tomorrow’s games, it was
reported, constituted some of the
practice periods Monday at which
the theme was ‘‘do or die.”
“Are we mice or are we men?”
charges the coach—“Rats” said a
disgusted spectator.
Seein’ as how I was half right
last week I'm going to take anoth
er chance on tomorrow night's
games. I predict that the Husk
ies will win by a handsome score
from the Alaskans, and that the
Commercials will be victorious
by a safe margin in their game
with the Hammon. Don’t ask
me how I know but that is the
general belief now—after count
ing Noses.
