BANKERS TAKE GAME
FROM THE LUMBERMEN
GET A3TO DECISION IN A HARD
FOUGHT GAME AT HAMPER
PARK.

The game between the Bankers and
the Lumbermen at Hamper Park Sat
urday afternoon was a hard fought
one, and resulted in a victory for the
Financiers over the Timber Workers,
the score being to /.
Holmes was on the mound for the
men and with an even break in the
luck Rawls should have had draw
ming on three bad bounces in success
sion that ought to have been easy
put-outs and would but for the lucky
bad bounces. These followed by one
hit gave them two runs, which proved
to be enough to win. They added an
other to be sure of a margin in the
eighth inning.
In the first inning Wilkins hit to
Wilder, the ball taking a mean bounce
and Wilder was unable to recover
himself in time to throw Wilkins out
at first and what ought to have been
an easy putout went for hit. Wheel
er hit with the same luck, the ball on
its last bound going crazy and hit
Wilder on the head. Potter attempt
ed to sacrifice then and hunted too
hard and Rawls came in for what
looked like an easy double but as he
stopped for the ball it took a wierd
bounce and hit him on the head and
the third man that should have been
/ nut out was safe. TrOtter scored two
men with the only clean hit of the in
ming. Then the Lumbermen, to show
that they hadn't quit account of this
streak of bad luck pulled off triple
play assisted by some bad base-run'
ming. Smith hit to Wilder who caught
Potter between home and third and
| he was run down and tagged out by
Anderson at plate. Anderson threw
to Overstreet, catching Trotter be-
tween third and second and he was
run down and tagged out and then
Overstreet threw to Powell, who had
come in from center field and covered
second. and caught Smith trying for
second. This was really faster play
than the telling would Indicate, and
the only triple pulled on the diamond
| this year.
In the fifth inning Wilder hit for
Ttwo bases and scored on Rawls hit,
both hits coming after two men were
down. This ended the scoring for the
Lumbermen for the day.
In the eighth inning the Bankers
scored another on a base on balls and
hits making the total score to l in
their favor.
/ Holmes had pitched 26 consecutive
scoreless innings against this team
and let them down without a hit OF
run for the first four innings making
total of 80 consecutive innings with
4
out a score.
Alsup was the fielding star OF the
day He made three catches that were
feature plays. He went to the fence

He went across the foul line and got
third out with men on bases. lie
went back and across and rescued
Rawls when he pulled in Potters MI

Wilkins came in for his usual fea
ture stunt. Powell first up in the sew

sup lined one that looked so mucn
like a hit that Powell decided he

BIB SCRAMBLE
 F0R PLACERS

Nome, Oct. 16-The new strike Of a Third beach line at Nome al ready promises to create another legal war like that which made this camp infamous in tha old days. Report $ iu circulation that sev- eraI suits are about to be filed and It Is known that not less than twenty people are now claiming ground staked by others. The whole country around the scene Of the strike has been staked so that the tundra presents the appearance so familiar of old. In some instances claims have been staked over and over. Development work will be cone on the ground this winter and until that progresses it will not be possible to tell the exact value Of the discovery. The discoverers claim to have five feet depth of pay and that the formation indicates that the ground is just the same as the old Third beach operated in years past back of the city. Nome is all worked up over the discovery and looks for big tbiDgs.
