I
BASEBALL
SPOTLIGHT
By “Nosey”
After taLking indoor baseball
all last week and hearing it talk
ed by members of various teams,
there's only one way the series,
is going to end. The Alaskans,
Hammon, Huskies and Commer
cials. will win the series. You'd
have to take your pick the same
as I, because each team believes
they’re going to win.

Understand that Banker Grant
Jackson is donating a large lov
ing cup as the Trophy for the
winner of the series, and also 12
individual loving cups for the
members of the team. Hes out
•ide now supposed to be picking
them out and is to send them .n.
All you can hear, now that, the
eeiies is under way is “Where’s
the baseball uniforms for each
team?” Those who ordered them
from the states were informed
by letter a long time ago that
they had left the states and were
'e to Nome. Much wailing

and gnashing of teeth takes place
over this matter, as a lot of the
boys certainly would look grand
in suits. Don't you think so? It j
would surely put color onto the;
floor to have each team in a diff
erent uniform. Heard someone
say about ninety percent of them
ought to have uniforms—with
stripes on them.

The action, playing and general'
behaviour of the teams last Wed-j
nesday night, when the Hammon
defeated the Huskies and the Al
askans the Commercials, was so
interesting and exciting that this I
Wednesday there should even be
a larger crowd than before. Com 1
ing events cast their shadows be
fore—and it certainly looks like
there will be some real battles j

That High School rooting sec
tion is a new novelty for Nome,
and some of their yells are en !
tertaining and inspiring alike. In
cidently, they certainly “pick
’em" when they appoint cheer
readers. What do you think?
Some one said over the week
end that Nosey ought to pay more
attention what the spectators are
doing and saying. That is a good
suggestion, and if I hear any
worthwhile “cracks” I’m liable to
let fly. Here’s hopin’.

apsetting It? The automobile poised
in this fashion aftsr plunging over
