O'Leary-Tavis
Nuptials Took
j Miss Rita O'Leary and Wilbur
j Earl Tavis were united in the
! bonds of holy matrimony at the
home of the bride’s parents last
evening, with the Rev. Joseph
F. McElmeel. S J officiating.
Attendants to the bride and
groom were Mrs. A O’Leary and
Harold Bill.
The bridge is the daughter of
| Mr and Mrs John J O’Leary of
Nome. She completed her early
! schooling here and then attend
| ed the University of Alaska at
Fainbanks for two years. She is
employed as a stenographer in
! the office of the U. S. Smelting
Refining and Mining Co,
The bridegroom came to Nome
last summer from his home at
Seattle, Washington. They ex
pect to make their home in
Nome.
Following the wedding cere
mony a reception was held at
the home of Mr and Mrs O’Leary
for the many friends of the
young couple.
The Fan’s Corner
To the smallest crowd of the
season the four ball teams turn
ed in the finest games we have
had todate.
In the Nome-Hammon melee
the Hammons took an early lead
but relaxed a little in the latt
er innings and were nosed out
by a run.
The commercials won handily
in their mix with the Alaskans
who seemed to have one of their
bad nights. It was not walk aw
ay however and could have be
come real dangerous for the Com
mercials at any time.
Lyle Nevin replaced Jacobs as
umpire and some of his decisions
if boos ,and jeers are an indica
tion were somewhat unpopular,
and on top of a good old fashion
ed razzing he seemed to be get-1
ting the blame for this column.
Oh, well, the truth will prevail;
in the end.
Next week we have Hammons'
and Alaskans in the first game
and Commercials and Nome in
the last. Inasmuch as I picked
them 100 percent wrong the last;
time I might as well stick my
neck out once more. This time j
my pick is Hammon in the first
and Nome in the second. Let’s
go have a look!
The Old Fan |
i
Umpire baiitng seems to have
become the favorite indoor sport
of a great many fans and it’s
nice work when you can get it.
I agree with the Old Fan that;
umpires are legitimate prey at!
any ball game—a natural “Patsy”
for players and fans alike.
Right now Nevin, the new ump
seems to be the recipient of most
of the old “Razz-ma-tazz”.
The ability and willingness to
dish it out carries with it the
natural inference that the “dish-i
erouters” can also “take it.”
All good disher-outers are not
so constituted it seems. Nevin has;
always been ready, willing, and
able to hand out the razz and
now he has a golden opportun
ity to demonstrate to us his ab
ility to “take it”. We shall see,
and in the meantime here’s to
bigger and better pop-bottles.
