BASEBALL
SPOTLIGHT
By “Nosey”
We’re all set for the big games
tonight and I hope that a blizzard
doesn’t come up to hold anybody
at home, because it’s a pretty
sure thing that both games will
be — dingers”.
Heard a lot of moaning and
groaning about the home plate
not being visible to the pitchers
and umps. Continual scuffling
across the plate, pounding by the
batter, etc., has worn most of the
paint off they tell me, and it can
hardly be seen. No wonder a
lot of balls are called strikes.
They ought to paint the plate for
every game, so that even the
spectators can see whether a ball
is a strike or not.
They tell me the Hammon
team feels better today after re
ceiving my apology for “pickin’’
their pitchers.

kans; you don't hear a peep out
of them, until they get on the
floor and then they're doing plen
ty of it. It might be a good sign.
That’s one game tonight that
should be a fast and furious one
—between the Hammon and Alas
kans. You'll have to get their
early for seats to see this game
which commences sharply at 8
p. m.
A lot of people are trying to
guess who edits this column. Just
keep right on guessing. I get as
much fun out of keeping my iden
tity secret as you do in trying to
find out who it is. Last week I
heard they had picked Hirschel
King, Lyle Nevins, Hank Rydeen
for the honor. I don’t know yet
who they might have chosen this
week. Wait until after the ball
games tonight or tomorrow. You
will probably hear a lot more.
I have one advantage over any
one who writes in any letters or
communications to Nosey—I can
take my time and still give you
a snappy reply. If you want to
know anything about the teams
or players just address your let
ter to ‘‘Nosey”—care of the Nug
get. He’ll get it all right—and
maybe someone else might “get
it in the neck”. Seriously
though, I’d welcome any letters
or questions—It’ll help improve
the column and provide some
more interest to those who are
following this chronicle. I hope
you see what I mean.
Tonight are the second games
of the series. If you thought last
week’s games were exciting, you
haven’t seen anything yet. The
two losers of last week, are out
for blood. They have to sink the
other in order to stand a fair
chance to stay in the running for
the series. Likewise, the fever of

battle will be high in the game
between the two winners of last
week’s games—the Alaskans and
Hammon, for each of them will
be trying with all their might to
insure a safe lead by having a
margin of two wins instead of a
win and loss.

I hope they have some more
good-looking cheer-leaders out
for the Huskies again this week.
It brings tears to my eyes—'count
my wasted years.
That Husky team last week
didn’t look so good, only knock
in’ in one run, but they tell me
that a lot of the boys got warm
ed up a bit, and have settled
down to some tough practices—
and it wasn’t practicing fanning
the air either.
And that’s another point. It
was also reported on the mukluk
wireless that Bud Lehmann is
out for some tough pitching af
ter last week’s showing.
You know that it was really
a nice game last week, at that.
In neither affair did anyone get
injured—no broken probiscus,
legs or arms—and that’s doing
real well. I hope they repeat to
night. If there’s anything I don’t
like and that is to see some fine
looking athlete get his in trying
to make a base or get hit with a
bat. It’s almost as bad as seeing
some of the? big clumsy looking
“dray horses” try to get away
with something. Well until after
the game—you’ve got my best
wishes.

The long awaited indoor base
ball suits arrived on yesterday’s
mail planes. Disappointing was
the fact that only the complete
outfits for the Commercials and
Huskies were received. Nothing
is known as to the whereabouts
of the suits for the Hammon and
Alaskans.
Members of the two teams who
received the uniforms are busy
today trying them on and select-,
ing their fit. Managers of the
Huskies and Commercials declar-!

complete uniform at tonight’s
