r«K ARMY & NAVY
FAUiKD TO COMB BACK
The third and deciding game in
the Base Ball championship series
between the Army & Navy and the
Nome All Stars was played before
a fair sized crowd In the large Eagie
hall last Saturday night.
The Army A Navy had their first
Innings and lead off with three
scores, which, with the exception of
one more in the second and another
in the seventh, was their total score.
The warm spell of weather which
had turned to a cold snap evidently
affected the players for the game was
slow and not at all exciting. Th
Nome team had things their own
wjfy from the first and brought home
a piece of bacon each inning.
The many friends of the Army &
Navy felt confident that after the
splendid showing made at the prev
ious game the boys would walk away
with the All Stars, but,—they fell
down. and with them came the
slogan “Can They Come Back."
The All Stars played their same
steady game, took advantage of
every opportunity and connected
with the ball so often that they had
easy sailing into the port of advan
The batteries of the two teams
are equal in speed and head work
while the field work of the Stars
shows closer and more consistent
playing than that of their opponent' i
Pinal score: Army & Navy 5.
After the ball game the floor was
cleared and dancing was indulged
in to the music of the Wathey Or
chestra. The dance crowd, while,
rather small, enjoyed itself until |
after midnight.

BASKET HAIX GAMES
I'l'BUr S<’liOOlj GYM
The Americans and Nationals held
their weekly contest last Monday
night in the School Gymnasium be
fore an Interested crowd of specta
The Nationals carried away the
honors or the evening, defeating the
American* by a score of 27 to 15.
Andrew Sather was the star of
the evening making 20 of the 27
scores counted for the Nationals.
Superintendent Collins has issued
a new order applying to all Basket
Ball players which is as follows:
Any member of the Nome Public
9chool participating in any athletic
frame or games, who shall accept
money for scores earned or for ex
cepttonal playing snail ne aeemeo
guilty of professionalism and ex
polled from any and all athleti*
teams In the school.
The ruling is a wise oen from sev
eral angles. To offer a playei
money for scores earned tends tc
disorganize team work thru the de
sire of the individual to make star
plays. Also accepting money for
effort is contrary to the spirit of
true sport. Play the game for sake
of the game not for compensation.
Once the spirit of commercialism
enters athletic games results only
are sought and many times under
handed methods are employed.
In the Basket Ball game held in
the School Gym. Friday afternoon,
the Americans defeated their rivals,
the Nationals, in a short handed
game. Both teams, due to sickness
among the members, were reduced
to four players each. After an ex
citing game the .final score stood
Americans 20, National 17. The
next game will be played Monday
evening. April 17th.

ON NKW APPARATUS
Staff SergeiMit James H. Anderson
head electrician and Officer In
Charge of the Nome Radio Station,
is busy at work on an apparatus
designed to catch the radio phone
bulletins sent out dally by the Seat
tle Post-Intelligencer. The Seat
tle paper has been sending: these
radio phone bulletins broadcast for
some weeks and hare asked the
Nome office to attempt to catch the
emanations. So far the machines
have been out of tune and the radio
staff are unabl„ to catch clearly the
wares sent. Disturbances are reg
istered but are so indistinct that no
positive determination can be ac
complished .
Mr. Anderson feels confident that'
he will succeed fn getting into tune
with Seattle and so enable Nome to
participate in the remarkable new

RADIO MAX TAKES liONR TRIP.
R. C. Sergeant, the genial sparks
of the local radio staff, took a trip
to Council on April 3rd, accompany
ing Al. Pangman. who will remain
In Council for the summer. The
boys made the trip in one day, ar
riving at their destination on Tues
day afternoon April 5th. Alter
resting for a night and a half the
next day Mr. Sergeant started alone
on tl|B return trip, getting as far
as Timber the first day. Prom
Timber Sergeant mule the run to
Solomon, where he visited at the*
Eskimo Gold Dredge on Solomon
river, coming on to Nome and ar
riving on April 8th. having success
fully ocvered the round trip of 150
For an old timer to make this
trip would be nothing particularly
unusual, but when one considers
that Mr. Sergeant had never before
driven a dog team, had never been
farther from Nome than Safety, then
one realizes that an unusual exper
ience was undergone. He was a'
stranger in a foreign country; was
unused to driving dogs and took the
mushera chance on the trail, with
all of the possible vicissitudes inci
dent to trail travel In th© winter.
As an experience Mr. Sergeant has.
registered one of the greatest in
this frozen wilderness, namely, alone
on the trail in an unknown country.
Thru it all Sergeant enjoyed him
self thoroughly and had the time or
his life. He took a chance that few
old tinkers wonli| take, and' luctr
was with him. ^
