SPOTLIGHT
By “Nosey"
The uniforms for the Alaskans
and Harnnon teams arrived late
las* week arid the boys had 'em
on last night at practice. They
certainly look up to snuff in their
new outfits You'll see all four
men's teams in regular uniform
tomorrow night at the games.
A-I interest is now d.reeled to
ward the H _3k.es and the ques.
tion is repeatedly asked of whe
ther they can take the Hammon
team down a peg and bring all
teams closer together in their
fight for the ser.es' championship
Not wishing the Hammons any
bad luck, but I’d l.ke to see the
Huskies come out the victor for
that reason. Undoubtedly you’ll
hear the majority of the crowd
tomorrow night pulling for the
Huskies for the same reason.
Dra4. the luck anyway. Two
catchers were forced to leave

And by the way. I'm sure there
will be another capacity house to

pretty good now, and it ought to

important crisis in the series, and
there isn’t much doubt that the
public is going to miss any big
games, so be sure and be on hand
early if you want your favorite
seat.

il is prtrr.ar.iy fcr Cheechaceos
—a driving team consisting of a
man and a woman, both being
Cheechaceos. In the sled, the
r.vr.er or representative must re_
rr.a.n d-r.r.g the race as the bur
*
den. At no time is he allowed to
get out and handle the brake and
dr.ve from the rear of the sled
T.-.e purpose of having him in the
sied is in case dog fights should
take pace between rival teams,
he will be on hand to take care
of his dogs.
The course will be over a three
mile loop staked out on Bering
Sea in front of Nome, and on whi
ch the racing teams can be seen
at all times. Over the first lap.
the Cheechacco man will do the
driving and upon his return to
the scratch, the Cheechacco wo
man will immediately grab the
handle bars and take them around
the second lap. The winner will
be the team which completes the
two laps in the shortest time.
Registrations should be made
with Secretary of the Club, “Cap.
py” McDougall at the Nome Drug
Store. A condition exacted by
the Nome Kennel Club that all
those participating in the race
should be members of the club. A
membership fee of $2.50 is charg
ed, which allows them to enter
in races during the remainder of
the season, and will also allow
them 250 votes in the Queen Con
test, which will commence the
first of next week.
Funds to be raised through a
membership drive, queen contest
and entry fees in races are all de_
voted to the purchasing of prizes
for the many races and events to
take place during the next two
months. The girl elected as
Queen of Nome will be sent to
the Ice Carnival at Fairbanks &
entered in the Contest for the
selection of a Miss Alaska, and
while there 'the Carnival Associ
ation pays her expenses.
It is a little premature to an
nounce the Queen Contest in
Nome at this time, as the actual
plans for the contest are being
worked out tonight by the Board
of Directors of the Kennel Club.
However, you beautiful and queen
ly daughters of Nomeites, and
other unmarried females are ad.
vised to watch closely for further
announcements concerning the
