Fairbanks Team Is Outplayed In
First Two Games; Last Game
This Evening.
The Nenana baseball team acted
is host yesterday before a large
ind enthusiastic crowd, to the base
ball team of Fairbanks and succeed
ed in taking both games of a
double header. The Fairbanks team,
despite the losses it has suffered
lately in sending members of the
aggregation to fight for Uncle Sam,
gamely put up a good brand of base
ball, and considering the fact that
if the series of games had been
played two weeks later Nenana would
have been in exactly the same con
dition. no harsh criticism was forth
coming from the crowd. Nenana
was represented by the strongest
team it has assembled this year, be
ing made up of the bona fide players
available last season , with the addi
tion of a few high class tossers just
arrived in town. The brand of base
ball the boys put up yesterday was
as good as one may see in the North
and the fans of Nenana can con
gratulate themselves on the calibre
of their team.
The opening game was called at
two o’clock in the afternoon before
a large crowd. The batteries for
Nenana being Hansen and Anderson,
and for Fairbanks, Koon and Myers.
Fairbanks erfeountered the same
trouble in the opening game that
worried them in the evening session
their twirlers could not get to work
ing. Several changes were made in
the lineup of the Fairabnks team
before the boys settled down to play
good ball.
In the evening game, Buckley
started on the slab for Fairbanks,
with Smith taking his shoots, but
was later replaced by Durgin, who
in turn gave way to Fowler. Fuel
ling was in the box for Nenana and
had a world of speed besides plenty
of stuff. Anderson was on the re
ceiving end. The infield ground
was fast and allowed lightning fast
plays and the fans were treated to
several stunts of big league calibre.
The next and last game of the
present series wsll be played tonight
at 6:30 o’clock. Everybody turn
out to give the boys a good sendoff.
The score for the first game was:
Nenana 16, Fairbanks 1. The sec
ond game ended ina victory for Ne
nana with a score of 5 to 0.
Private Galvin (Dooley) and Char
ley Thompson umpired the games.
