CARNIVAL NEWS
REPORTER CENSORED
(Contributed)
Owing to the use of too many
descriptive adjectives and ad
verbs in his copy in giving the
unbiased story of the greatest
! carnival of all time the reporter
is crying his eyes out and tear
i ing his hair out by the roots be
cause they gave his scoop the
axe. He has been covering big
events for the last fifty years or
more and has never had the op
portunity to write up or even
witness such an affair as the car
nival certainly will be. The fol
lowing is the story with portions
censored:
“In covering this story I wish
to be modest in my descriptions
as I do not want it said that I
am over anxious or over sold on
| this carnival idea. The carnival is
just as I see it from having had
! the opportunity to sit in at all
committee meetings and listen to
all reports. The carnival former
ly held each year by the Nome
Kennel Club now sponsored by
| the Arctic Club will be held Sat
! urday evening March 2nd. It will
! be the best and most (censored)
; party of the season and possibly
| for a (censored) years to come.'
.After what I’ve heard of the re- j
! ports of the several committee all
(censored) couldn’t keep me
way. The program taking a fair
portion of the evening the most
delightful and (censored) enter
tainment (censored) staged (cen
1 sored). It has been said else
where that a program of the ev
ening would be forthcoming in
the Friday issue of our (censor
ed) Nome Nugget but the cen
sors sensed a couple of (censor
ed) dark horses on the program
and refused to allow the pro
gram to be printed owing to the
fact that these shady entries are
certain to be a big (censored) ad
dition to the (censored) stupend
ous (censored) program. Don’t
miss it or you will be (censored)
(censored).
Goodnight censors I’ve run out
of words to be censored so I’ll
see you all at the carnival Sat!
urday night at 8 o’clock.
We were just advised before
! going to press that there would
! be no regular issue of The Fan
Letter so this column will pro
babif go over until Monday.
The High School Girls team de
feated the Blazers to the tune of
12 to 6 Wednesday night in the
rst of the ladies’ games now un
der way. The game was complet
ed in the fast time of 35 minutes.
A large crowd turned out to see
the girls in action and many
spirited plays and heady base
ball resulted in the game. As al
ways the fair sex certainly at
tracts attention when they go on
the baseball floor and Wednesday
night was no exception with the
hall about evenly divided as to
rooters.
In the final game between the
Alaskans and Nome team close
playing held the score down un
til the fifth inning when the Al
askans got away to a seven run
j rally. However the Nome team
| came right back in their half
of the inning and made six runs
placing them in the lead. In their
half of the sixth they blanked
the Alaskans anl then commenc
ed a rout which did not end until
the Nome team mhad knocked in
i 17 runs. In the first of the seven
| th the Alaskans got 2 runs and
: the game ended Nome 28 Alas
kans 11.
