Baseball News
1
And wild-eyed fans are still
talking about last Wednesday’s
Hammon-Nome baseball game|
when the surprising Nome team j
again registered a 13 to 12 upset.,
For seven solid exciting innings
spectators sat on the edge of;
their seats wondering what
weird play would next occur.!
The game was a close contest all
the way and clever base running
on both sides confused the de
fense and kept the large crowd
I in an uproar.
The Alaskan-Ctommercial gamei
: although well-played was almost
j an anti-climax. The Commercials
| picked up a substantial early
lead and held it to the end. The
1 .score was 10 to 7.
Outstanding individual per
formances of the evening includ
ed the all-round playing of Ken
Rude and the Thousand per cent
batting averages of Maynard
and Wuorinen.
Next Wednesday's games bring
the Hammon-Alaskan rivalry to
another climax and Nome takes
on the Commercial!;. Interest
centers in th e latter contest. The
Commercials need the win badly
for no team in the last two years
has won the championship with
more than one defeat. Nome, on
the other hand, will strive to pre
serve an unbeaten record.
Consideration of a women's
baseball league is now timely,
interested women are asked to
meet Sunday afternoon at 4:00,
o’clock at the high school to d:s- J
cuss the matter.

High School to Present
3 Act Play
BALMY MR. BROWN — A
whirlwind farce in 3 acts present
ed by the Nome High School on
Saturday, February' 4, at 8:15
p.m. It is completely described in
just five words—It's an unbeat
able laugh producer. You may
have seen plays about escaped
lunatics before, but this one
is, in the parlance of the asylum,
“the nuts.”
John Brown, whose delusion is
that he is William Tell, escapes,
from the sanitarium and wanders
into a country club where a
home-talent production of "Wil
liam Tell” is being rehearsed. Is
he ea ^rly welcomed as the vis
iting £,aest star? You guessed it!1
Constabule Boggs vigorously ar
rests everybody, one after an- j
other, except the right feller.!
And even when he and old man
Dening find the pirate chest that!
was stored in the haunted cave1
generations ago, the treasure!
trove slips through their fingers.
Just one mix-up. one tremend
