NILE PARK NINE
SWAMP ARMY
SCORE 25 TO 12
LEAGUE LEADERS PLAY NIP AND
TUCK GAME FIRST HALF
—BALLOON GOES UP
The Nile Park Giants, augmented,
slugged their way to a 25 to 12 vic
tory over their league rivals, the Ca
ble office nine, in a peppy game last
night behind which the beautiful
flinging of Bud Dyer, who held the
hard hitting wire tapper batsmen
scoreless during the final two thirds
of the game, was by far the feature
of the evening. Six consecutive
scoreless innings is a new mark for
the other pitchers in .the league to
shoot at. To the dismay of the few
Nile Parkers able to appear at the
gym last night, the victory means
nothing. The game cannot be count
ed in the schedule because of a
league ruling that at least five regu
lar members of each team must be
in the lineups of an official game.
The absence of Tom Dyer who is
injured, and of Erwin and Moehring
made it impossible ifor the Giants tc
put an official lineup in the game
’Shellhorn and Valade who substi
tuted furnished a mighty fine branc
of baseball. Barnett and Hiokmai
who were added, showed well. Hick,
man pulled the one hair-raising plaj
when he leaped and speared witl
one hand, a liner that would hav<
been good for a home run in an:
man’s ball yard.
That Captain Snyder has been
coaching his men well, was quite
evident in the manner in which they
ran the bases. They stole home three
times, followed the signals from their
chief well, and played heady baseball
in all situations.
The postponed game will probably
he played off some Sunday afternoon.
The next league game will ,be played
Thursday between the Merchants and
the Bankers.
Days Harbor Mill Working
Steadily Producing Ties
There are about ten men at work
making ties at the Days’ Harbor mill,
according to Charles Emswiler, skip
per of the gas boat Chase, who, with
his boat has been employed by the
company since October 20. Captain
Emswiler arrived in port this morning
and upon taking on a quantity of sup
plies expected to leave this evening
on the return trip.
The weather has been bad at the
harbor, he reports, but work has pro
gressed steadily. Within a week the
company expects to have about 2500
ties ready for shipment to Seward.
These are now being loaded upon the
barge which the Chase will tow out
- to the steamer Starr, upon her return
from the westward. The ties will be
. transferred to the decks of the Starr
; at the harbor and discharged locally.
L Capt. Emswiler said he was returning
. to Seward next week.

LONDON LETTER
LONDON, Dec. 14. (/P)—With the
approach of Christmas and its at
tendant shopping season and with
society active fn both Paris and Lon
don, there has been a large increase
in the number oif London women who
fly to Paris one day and return by
the same route the next.
In England also on the continent,
an American woman, Mrs. H. O.
Berg, who made a short flight with
Wilbur Wright in 1908 and achieved
fame as the first woman to ride in
an airplane, is still regarded the pio
neer aerial traveler, although wom
en who use the air ways are numer
ous, making up more than fifty per
cent of the passengers on the main
European air routes.
Many actresses and singers use the
air route between Paris and London
to fill engagements, among them Miss
Gladys Cooper, Miss Margaret Ban
nerman, Madame Frieda Hempel and
Miss Phillis Monkman. Among the
women who have been using the air
plane service to do Christmas shop
ping in Paris are Princess Bibesco,
Lady Leverhulme, Lady Bonham-Car
ter, Lady Sholto Douglas and Lady
Muriol Page.
There is a famine in London of
hair for making wigs, switches and
other false pieces as a result of the
vogue of bobbed hair and shingled
hair. When the fashion of cut locks
began, women’s hair for a time
almost glutted the market, but now
that about 90 per cent of the women
in London prefer the new style the
supply of ihair does not begin to meet
the demand. Therefore even six to
ten inches of perfectly good hair is
bringing unprecedented prices.
Hair dressers are looking about for
new fields where bobbing is not in
vogue with a view to making con.
tracts with women for long strands
of hair.
Winter bird visitors have been fly
ing over the British Isles in clouds
recently, replacng the birds of sum
mer, which have flown long since
.to Southern Europe or even to Afri
ca.
Starlings, thrushes, red wings and
field fares are the most numerous
among the birds that seekt a winter
home In England and Scotland. Dur
ing mild winters they live on insects
and so are of great service to farm
ers and fruit growers, and when the
winter is severe, as this one has
started out to be, they feed on the
berries from England’s numerous
hedges.
Farmers are complaining of a fall
ing oiff recently of the number of
lapwings in England, since this bird
is one df their greatest aids in the
Dame aganst insect me. Most of
the lapwings go to Southwestern Eu
rope during the winter and there 'it
is reported they are being killed in
great numbers by hunters.
London straphangers, at least
those who ride in the busses, have
had their hours increased. Hereto
fore strap-hanging has been confined
to the early rush hours up to 8:30
in the morning and between 4:30 and
6 o’clock in the afternoon. A recent
home department ruling makes strap
hanging in the buses permissible for
all the morning nad evening rush
hours and for Sautrday nights, which
is London’s night for going to the
theater.
Under the ruling no one might en
ter a bus in which there were no
seats vacant except during the legal
straphanging hours. This caused bit
ter complaints from women who used
the buses for day time travel and
from theater goers.
