The Fan's Corner
Well 1 was half right Wed res
day night so my percentage is im
proving.
The Hammons slugged their
way to an easy victory over the
Alaskan, winning 24 to 15. The
game was not as one-sided how
ever as the score might indicate.
For one inning it was a very
even game.
In the last game the Commer
cials won 18 to 13. This was a
one inning win. The game start-1
ed out to be a real “dipsy-doood
le" bu Ron couldn't stand the
pressure and the Commercials
scored 10 runs in one inning.
This makes the second win for
the Commercials in this half and
; the fifth one of the series,
If the Commercials win from
the Hammons in their next meet
I ing the series will be over. If
the Bamons put over a win the
i last half is tried and if the Nome
; team also beats the Alaskans the
Nome, Hammon & Commercials
are all three tied.
The Committee have indicated
that the woman’s series may op
en nex tweek holding back one
of the men’s games. If that is to
happen an announcement will be
made at an early date.
The umpires appeared to be in
difficulties a couple of times Wed
nesday night but the Front Row
Umpires who were in excellent
voice were able to keep things^
from getting completely out of
control. Nice going Binks!
