The Fail's Corner
first half of the series is
nd is my face red? The A1
■> wen handily from the
team in the first game. It
; ol particularly one-sided,
b t even though the Nome team
threatened several times, they
lacked the old punch to put over
a win.
True to tradition the Hammon
"ammercial contest was a real
thriller. It wots nip andl tuck
from the start. and anybody’s
game to the last including the
u " pi res. Candor compels us to
give a slight edge to the umpires.
The game ended with the Ham
nons putting up a real fight to
J win. Their effort soon died how
I ever with an attack of stigma
tism on the part of Umpire Jac
obs.
Here’s how it happened. Go
ing into the Hammon half of the
last inning with two out, the
scare Commerials 13, Hammon 9, i
the Hammon boys started a bat- j
ting rally. They had put two
runs across when Fred Roberts
made a scratch hit and after a
couple of bobbles on the Commer
cials and a mad scramble, wound
up on third base perfectly satis
fied) with himself. But hold!
Much to the surprise of everyone
including Tom Givan, Jacobs
called him out at first base.
Thus endeth the first half, and
let’s see how we now stand. It
leaves the Commercials in first
place, Alaskans second. Hammon
third, Nome fourth and the Old
Fan behind the eight ball. Any
way, we picked the Commercials
in the right order.
Umpire Lewis became ill at
the start of the first game. His
position was efficiently taken by
K m Rude in the first game and
L A Nevin in the last.
Well, we are starting all even
in the second half but until this
oil warrior licks his wounds
awhile, there will be no predic
tions.
The scores:
Alaskans 1.8—Nome 11
Hammon 10—Commercials 13
