Oh, Oh! Well, I was at least
half right that time. We did
warn the Hammons that if they
let down it would be too bad,
nd so it proved. A few dropped
third strikes in the first inning
and the Alaskans wtre off in a
bunch. They couldn’t be headed
off until they had garnered 13
runs and there, boys and girls,
went a ball game. From that
time on it was very even, ending
18 to 4. A change of catchers
<lid the trick. O'Leary for the
Hammons and Cabinboy for the
Alaskans both pitched beautiful
ball.
That Commercial-Nome fracas
whs one for the book! Four four
innings the Brnusseau-Harris
combination backed by perfect
fielding held the mighty Com
mercials almost hitless. In the
fifth inning Ron, tired, let down
a bit and there went another ball
game.
A switch of pitchers at this
point proved not only fruitless
but disasterous. The hard hitting
Commercials drove 15 runs ac
ross the plate before they could
be stopped, Brousseau was then
allowed to return to the game
and—well, let the score by in
nings tell the story.
Commercials —0-0-0-1-15-6-0—22
Nome_—1-3-4-4- ;0-3-Q—15
While thelast game was a slug
grng match it was interspersed
with hair-raising fielding on both
sides. But for one innings each,
both games were beautiful to
watch.
Next week the Alaskans meet
the Nome team, and with a little
more practice and Ron in better
shape, look out for the Nomeites!
The old traditional rivals, Com
mercials-Hammons meet in the
nrght-cap. We pick the Commer
cials to win but have our fingers
crossed. Anyway it can’t be beat
en for entertainment and we’ll
see you at the next game.
