NILE PARK WINS
GAME FROM FAST
CABLE NINE, 9-8
LEAGUE LEADERS HAVE BATTLE
ROYAL; SPECTATORS ENJOY
FAST CONTEST. %
Two things were well defined in
the fiercely contested eleven inning
game that the Nile Park Giants, by
the close score of 9 to 8, snatched
away from their old rivals, the Cable
Office gang, last night; ,tlie game of
indoor baseball has proven to be the
medium that has come to pep up Se
ward’s athletes, instilling spirit and
fight into them to a measure that
has caused a transformation for the
betterment, and the onlookers that
filled the gallery, every one of them
retaining their seats until the win
ning marker was sent across in the
eleventh, and applauding vigorously
thruout the entire game, vociferously
displayed that the local public gloats
on thrills.
Better baseball has been exhbiited
in previous games as compared to
last night’s playing, but no other
contest contained as many thrills or
was as bitterly struggled for. Over
whelming their oppQnents with a
burst of speed, the Cable Office men,
in spite of the fact that they lost
one of their most valuable players, in
the very first inning, launched a
rushing attack and piled up a total
of eight runs before the Giants had
chalked up a single tally. Not only
was their batting and base running
of high caliber but the Signal Corps
defensive work in the field was sur
purb. Tinkler, third base, and Rob
ison at first, played faultlessly, break
ing up many an N. P. rally by their
timely precision.
Jack Lein, who was scheduled to
pitch for the Cable Office was as
sisted off the diamond after injur
ing a knee cap in a collision with
I Hopkins at the plate. Jack gamely
! endeavored to play on, but it was im
possible to do so. Snyder thereupon
| took the mound for his gang and
| Ratliff was injected into the C. O.
lineup at second base.
‘Slender” was a Chinese puzzle to
the league leaders for the first three
stanzas, in fact he had most of them
completely fooled all along, but the
fourth inning saw things begin to
| happen on the other side of the
score book. Painter, limping to bat,
i after crashing a two bagger against
| the balcony, the first clean hit off
Snyder, scored the initial Nile Park
run. Selby, subbing for Erwin, cross
ed the plate a moment later, on his
own single and a hit by Paulsteiner.
The Nile Parkers scored one more
in the fifth, four in the sixth which
included a homer by Jessen, and
then Tom Dyer, the league’s star
twirler and pride of the N. P. Giants,
tied the score when he raced com
pletely around the circuit on his
double and two bad throws by Ca
ble Office men. McEwan, borrowed
from the Bankers played a valuable
defense at second for Nile Park,
staving off defeat in one instance by
a leaping catch of one of McLaugh
lin’s line drives when two were out
and two men on bases, but Dyer, vir
tually played the whole game for
his team of cripples. Tom stopped
the slugging Cable Office batters
dead after the fourth inning, com
pletely blocking them through the
following seven iframes to the finish;
his hit and daring base running put
his mates in a tie for the lead in the
I seventh, and then he batted in the
| winning marker in the eleventh.
It "was a good game, besmirched
; somewhat by the usual rag chewing,
but was full of excitement and could
have gone either way. In teamwork
the Operators played the smartest
game, buit the N. P.s got the breaks.

F. MEJSTRIC ADJUDGED
INSANE AT ANCHORAGE
Frank Majstric was declared insane
by a jury last Saturday afternoon in
the commissioner’s court at Anchor
age.
It seems that Majstric invested a
large stun of money in a lumber en
terprise in Seward here about two
years ago, which was promoted by
Soo Hoo Gong, a Chinaman. The en
terprise failed and Majstric lost all
his money. He seems to have brooded
over the affair and had emotional at
tacks from time to time, when he
would loose control of himself. The
attacks have been getting worse and
worse until his mind apparently gave
way.
A foreign linguist arriving in New
York reports that English is rapidly
becoming the universal language.
Does he advise New York to take it
up?
Everything must have a beginning.
Perhaps people could be persuaded to
obey the laws on Tuesday and Friday.
