The Fan’s Corner
Well, we were right! It was
Hammon and Commercial on the
winning end, but that Hammon
Nome affair was a pretty ragged
contest and the Hammons didn’t
look sa hot out there. If they lay
themselves open in their little
tilt with the Alaskans next week
as they did in the Nome game,
it’s going to be just too bad.
The one bright spot in the
Nome-Hammon game was the
great work of Nome's left short
and their catcher. If ever two
lads fought a lost cause valiant
ly, it was those two. Hats off to
Milton and Herbie!
The Commercial-Alaskan game
was a real contest through-out.
The Commercials got to Johnny
Kawasuk for seven runs in the
first two innings, and then Art
Cabinboy went in and held them
to better than an even break.
It was anybody’s game to the
last put-out. Final score, Com
mercials 15, and Alaskans 12. By
the way, we have never seen Art
Cabinboy pitch a better game
and can that young Willoya
catch?
Next week it’s Hammon-Alas
kans in the opener and Nome
Commercials in the wind-up. Of
course, we are picking the Com
mercials to win, and we also
pick the Hammon, (but not of
course).
Another prediction! The Nome
team will not be on the tail end
,of the second half.
We learn from reliable sources
that the old Hammon battery of
Harris and Brousseau are turn
ing out with the Nome team. We
think it a mightly fine gesture
on the part of those two boys,
and it will certainly add material
ly to the Nome teams’ chances.
Ain’t we got fun! See you at
the next game.
The Old Fan
To the Old Fan:
Much as I dislike to show dis
respect for old age, I really must
take exception to your prediction
of the teams standing* at the end
of the first half.
I believe the Alaiskfcns will
slug their way to an easy victory
over Hammon and Nome and fin
ally take the Commercials.
Which makes my set-up as fol
lows: Alaskans, Commercials,
Hammon, and Nome. And as for
the Hammon team —the Nome
team “will get ’em if they DON’T
WATCH OUT.” That would still
be my prediction with Art Har
ris behind the bat. Art Harris
has been a great catcher but his
work last year bot hbehind and
at the bat was not so spectacular
iij my opinion. I think he is
through, and has sense enuf to
know it. Not so dumb at that!
