HOG RIVER STRIKE
NO! EXCITING YE1
Not sufficient work has been done
in the Hog River district to deter
mine the extent of the pay reported
to have been discovered there last
winter, according to recent _ arrivals
in Nenana from the lower Yukon.
Four men were at Nulato when
the steamer Julia B passed that
point on the last voyage up river,
who had just come out from the
Hog river, and they expressed the
belief that it would take at least
another winter's work to prove the
worth or worthlessness of the dis
trict.
The ground is wet, and prospect
ing slow and difficult. Nothing
found thus far warrants a stampede
to thg district.

FAIRBANKSANS WIN
AT UP-RIVER MEET;
LOCALS LIMP HOME
Interior Alaska baseball honors
were evened up at Fairbanks yes
terday when the Golden Hearters
captured two straight games from
the Nenana aggregation in the sec
ond series of the season. The open
ing game, played Saturday evening,
was won by Nenana. The scores
were: Saturday, Nenana 13, Fair-j
banks 6; Sunday, first game, Fair- j
banks 11, Nenana 8; second game,.
Fairbanks 5, Nenana 2.
As was the case when the open-1
ing series of the season was played
at Nenana during the latter part of
July, the games at Fairbanks were
very largely attended and the rival
ry was red hot, there being nearly j
a hundred Nenana fans on hand to 1
root for their home-town players.
The atmosphere was truly metro
politan and the interest fully as
great as any ever recorded at a
big league meeting. The Nenana
ites went wild with enthusiasm
when the railroad town team cinched
the opening game, and if support j
from the grandstand on Sunday
could have added runs to the official ]
score, there would have been a diff-;
erent ending to the series.
Opinions differ as to the cause ox ,
the loss of the series. The con- j
eluding game has been played over j
many times since last night, but
there are a number of points still |
undecided — points that probably
never will be satisfactorily and con
vincingly settled. It is always thus
in baseball.
But if Nenana fans cannot agree
as to the cause of defeat on the
diamond, they at least are of one
opinion regarding the reception ac
corded them by the people of Fair
banks. Never was there such a wei- ■
come in Interior Alaska. Never
before have the residents of one
town put themselves to such pains
to entertain the residents of an
other town—and a rival town, at
that. There was nothing too good
in Fairbanks for the Nenana ex
cursionists. There was nothing that
the Fairbanksans did not do to
make the stay of the visitors a plea
sant one. Nennaa's welcome to
Fairbanks, of a few weeks ago, was
repaid with interest.
After winning the opening game
on Saturday evening, the excursion
ists were entertained at a novelty
dance at the Auditorium, one of the
features of which was a voting con
test to determine the most beauti
ful lady and the most popular man
present. Miss Marion Creamer, ad
mittedly the prettiest girl in Fair
banks, polled the highest vote
among the lady candidates entered
; in the race, and Martin A. Pinska,
Fairbanks’ pioneer clothier, was
voted to be the most popular man
present. The winners will have the
privilege of having their portrait;
painted by Miss Jack, an arist of
note, who arrived at Fairbanks from
the States on a recent boat.
Another dance was arranged by
,the \enana visitors last night, and
(the hours between dances and be
i tween ball games were occupied
I with dinner parties and automobile
i rides.
The dance last night was arranged
by the Xenana baseball management
and was free to all.
The majority of the excursionists
j started home at five o'clock this
morning on the Midnight Sun spe
jcial, arriving here shortly after
' noon. The Douse launch Victory
also brought a load down, arriving
j here about four, and another crowd
jleft Fairbanks on the Johnson
j launch Peerless, getting away from
:the upper town at 11. The An
jderson speed-boat Fairbanks Kid,
j which made the run up river on
Saturday in five hours, with Dr. M.
E. Smith, Louis Anderson, and Pete
X’ilson, also returned during the
day, arriving here about 4:30. A
few of the excursionists remained
in Fairbanks for a longer visit.
There was comparatively little
betting among the stay-at-homes,
less than five hundred dollars hav-1
ing changed hands on the series. I
But the excursionists are said to
have left a considerable sum in Fair
banks as the result of backing the
home team. Estimates vary from
one to three thousand. Nearly ev
eryone bet something, and practic
ally all the Nenana fans backed the
Nenana team.
Much more would have been bet,
but the Fairbanksans were not sure
of their team and a number even
sought odds.
The First Game.
The opening game, on Saturday,
which began almost immediately fol
lowing the arrival of the Nenana
players at the upper town, was won
by the Nenana team in the second
inning, when they piled up eight of
the thirteen runs scored during the
game. Hanson was in the box for
Nenana throughout the opening
game, and young Charlie Geis and
Ed Stroecker pitched for Fairbanks.
Geis started, but was withdrawn
when it was seen that he could not
hold down the hits.
Score: Nenana 13, Fairbanks 7.
The Second Game.
Ike Taylor was in the box for
Nenana during the second game,
while Keene and Fowler held down
the mound for the Golden Hearters.
Keene was relieved in the fourth
■ inning, when the score stood 8 to 4
in favor of Fairbanks. The game
started at noon.
Fairbanks made seven runs in
,the first, one in the third, another
in the fifth, and two in the sixth.
Nenana made two in the second.
| four in the fourth, and two in the
: sixth. Score: Fairbanks 11, Ne
nana 8.
The Final Game.
With one game to the credit of
each team, the players entered the
closing contest late Sunday after
noon with a determination to win.
and the result was one of the hard
est fought and best all-around games
ever witnessed in Fairbanks. The
feature of this game was the team
work of the Fairbanks, which
! proved able support to the steady
J pitching of Mills. The Fairbanks
, boys registered three double plays
j during the game, from second to
i first.
j Hanson, for Nenana, pitched a
! strong game, and the errors were
\ few on both sides. But it just
i
'seemed as if the Nenana boys
couldn’t hit to a safe place. The
i balls were corralled in the infield
: or caught by the active fielders

behind the bases. It was anybody's ]
game up to the eighth inning.
Nenana made one run in the sec
ond and another in the seventh.
Fairbanks made one in the first, one
in the fourth, two in the seventh,
and another in the eighth, the score
! being 5 to 2 in favor of Fairbanks
;at the conclusion of the game.
A Return Series.
The Nenana players are ready to
meet the Fairbanksans again, eon
jfident that they can win with an
j even run of luck, and there is al
ready considerable talk of trying
to arrange another series at Ne
nana for Labor Day. No arrange
ments have been made as yet, how
ever, although it is expected that
| steps will be taken within the next
few days to extent an invitation for
a concluding meeting, to decide the
championship, each team now having
a series to its credit.
